"Indeed." Hadama raised his glass to return Liam's cheer, and then toasted again to Maea before he took a swallow of his own sugary drink. It was not a large swallow in comparison to his size, but relative to Maea's drink it was a significant portion of the frozen liquid.

"A drink for sipping. Or for forgetting the world." That would not do. Not tonight. Instead he raised his head to catch Nova's sparkling wave and beckoned her over from her place behind the bar. "Three Kaiholo Sunrises, please," he requested, and there was a gleam of wickedness behind the slight, courteous smile that lightened his expression. "Extra sun. And extra glitter." Not that they usually came with glitter, but he knew who he was asking to mix the drinks.
The pineapple went without saying in Torchline. The tequila as well. The raspberry liquor was a delightful addition to elevate the drink and bring out the sweetness. But it was the jalapenos muddled with lime juice in the shaker before the rest of the ingredients were added and strained that gave the Sunrise its heat.
Surprise.
