Glancing up from his magazine at the other captain, Teemo can't help but give a warm smile. After a moment of thought, he chuckles for a second as well. But only for a second before he catches himself.
"Hmm... I guess you-"
He's cut off by a knocking at their door, which he gets up from his seat to check on. It's their attendant, arriving with dinner. Moments later the meal is laid out on their table and the attendants are gone, the scout captain grabbing a seat at their short dinner table.
Titus carefully looks over at the array of food laid out in front of him. The food looks foreign and the captain pokes it with a chopstick out of curiosity. He looks up to Teemo, waiting on his signal to taste the food. The food itself is actually interesting, though he wonders what it is. Curiously he takes one bite and carefully examines its state by grinding it to its taste buds. Then his eyes open wide from the explosion of delicousness.

Teemo doesn't have as dramatic of a response to the food, which mostly consists of sushi and rice. He uses his chopsticks with ease, taking his time with each piece, and even holding a small smile while he eats. "It's just sushi, Ty. But it is delicious."
When he's finished speaking, the captain grabs the bottle of sake he asked for and gives it a swig. The alcohol is more bitter and flavorless than what he's used to, which makes him cringe and set the bottle down with watery eyes. Glancing around, he doesn't seem to find what he's looking for. "Should've asked for some honey. This stuff is stronger than the mead back home."
"What? They can't be that bad," he replies, picking up a cup of sake and gently stiring it from its small circular motion. After a sniff to try and capture a taste of what it taste like, he takes a sip of the alcohol. Immediately, he forcefully cringes from the bitter taste as if the drink is scalding his tongue.
"Ugh... you're right," he says with a raspful voice. "This thing is... uuuugh... there should be a game out of this one...."

Teemo snorts attempting to hold back a chortle, which he ends up doing anyway. It takes him several seconds to calm down enough to speak normally, clearing his throat beforehand. "You can have a drinking game with any form of alcohol, Ty. I've taken part in a few myself back home, not to brag.
The scout takes a break from the sushi to try some of the noodles and vegetables, which he finds are a nice compliment to the fish and rice. "Of course, the honey mead in Bandle is sweeter than this sake. Probably because we prefer sweeter things."

The scout gives a false laugh, shaking his head a little. He sets down his chopsticks and rolls up his sleeves as best he can, all the while with a challenging glint in his eye. Titus' words come back to him about spending free time when they can, when the mission has to take a break.
"It's not really tradition, Titus. Besides... there's no way you'd beat me."
A small yet determined smile form up on his lip. Challenge accepted.
"Hah! I'd like to see that!"
With that, he confidently slams the cup in front of Teemo and pours a glass of sake in it and does the same to his own cup. Then he raises his cup in the air proclaiming, "We're gonna be killing our taste buds here! So how about it? Best drunk win?"

The scout gives an almost devious chuckle, lifting his ceramic cup. "We can just go until one of us can't take anymore. How about the winner gets to order the other around for the rest of the night, no complaints?"
Titus bursts in laughter from Teemo's bet. He would have a League champion under him, if he wins.
"You're on! You'll need to explain to my father why I'm ordering you around for the night." Then he brings the cup close to his lip. "First shot."
Titus shows off his confident face in front of Teemo, then quickly takes the first shot. This intake, he thought, won't kill him. The sake left a slight burning sensation which releases a small sweetening aura from its esophagus to its stomach. However, the bitter part still shows it from his face, shutting his eyes tight to brace against the bad taste till it went away. The same confident face of Titus quickly returns, raising his eyebrows once which signals for Teemo to take his shot.

Teemo takes his first cup with ease, rubbing his nose a little once he's brought the cup back down to the table. He's had worse, and he certainly isn't going to lose a drinking competition to one of his men. "You know, it tastes better the second time. Or maybe that's the taste of victory."
"Hah!" he exclaims defiantly. Titus quickly fills his cup and swallows the next shot. This time, his taste buds are getting used to the bitter and slightly sweet taste.
"Or maybe you're already too drunk to know what victory tastes like," Titus taunts.

The scout remains oddly calm, holding only a confident smile as he pours and downs his second cup without a word, immediately pouring his third. He gives off no taunting laughter and doesn't turn his head up to the other captain, only his eyes, which give a similarly determined expression. "Not even close. But if you're starting to feel a little tipsy, you can forfeit now. Just remember: No passing out."
"I don't see myself passing out anytime soon," he replies and with that, he gulps another drink of sake down to his mouth. This is getting fun but one cup might be too slow. He pass another cup, one for Teemo and himself, intending to double the intake.
"Maybe we're going a bit slow here. How about we up the ante?"

Teemo tops off his next cup, then starts filling out the two before him without question, giving a small shrug in response. "Sounds fine with me, if you're up for it. But if you throw up, you're cleaning it up."
He takes his two cups and downs the alcohol with only a little more difficulty, giving a false content sigh afterwords.
