[ Kakashi's not entirely surprised that Erwin more or less abstains from alcohol.
As the commander of forces that protect the last of humanity in his world, of course a man like Erwin Smith would be careful about ensuring he has control of all of his faculties. Kakashi understands this a little too well, as he's never been one who particularly enjoys getting drunk, in the event that there might be an enemy attack or that he might be called away last minute on a mission. When he does drink, it's usually just to get enough of a buzz. But Kakashi knows his limits, and usually stops far before the point of inebriation.
When he can.
It's a little harder to watch his limits when he's drinking with Tsunade or someone like Jiraiya, who he couldn't refuse out of deference. ]
Mm, I see.
[ Murmurs as he sets the bottle back down, eye tracing over Erwin's strong profile before he looks down to the quiet village below. A few dots of light flicker from windows, the only light in an otherwise dark landscape below.
Erwin seems to be in a more contemplative mood, and Kakashi doesn't interrupt him immediately. Doesn't push to ask why alcohol doesn't hold appeal either. For a little while, he simply lets a comfortable silence fall between them, before he speaks again. ]
Something on your mind, Commander, or are you just up here to enjoy the night?
