"What a noble act, good thing you didn't get convicted. You'd be running the chain gang by now." He teased watching the way she just fell back into her element. While he was just another fish out of water. Staring her father straight in the eyes, he cracked a smile seeing the resemblance between the two. Just an eye of detail and an inquisitive nature he couldn't outwit. "Alright I respect that. My mother died after after my first deployment to Central Asia. She has cancer. My father is a now retired admiral. I have no brothers or sisters. I enjoy fixing things, I'm very handy. I like aged bourbon and Cajun food. What about you, sir. I mean Michael, what drink defines you?"
"Who said that I wasn't running it from here? You seriously doubt me, babe", she chuckled for a moment before she leaned back against the bar, smiling over at Jonathan. It really mattered to her that Jon and her father got along, they were the most important men in her life. "Are you expecting to be deployed again soon? If so, how do you plan on keeping a new wife happy? First year of marriage is the hardest. --Bourbon, classic taste. You picked the wrong girl if you want something classic, by the way. But I like myself a smokey scotch."
