"Danny wait—" before Nolan could do anything else, the girl was up on stage with the rookie judge. The guy looked rather tipsy, but luckily he didn't lash out or anything. The last thing the cook wanted was to charge into a bar fight to keep his friends out of trouble.

Luro tried to assure him, and the pirate began comparing himself to a blanket on a starry night. Nolan arched an eyebrow, but he couldn't help but crack a smile. Staying upset at his friend was going to be hard and he let out a sigh, "alright, alright, you win, Luro." 

He trusted them, he really did, but he [i]couldn't[/i] help it. Maybe it was the result of growing up with two hyperactive younger siblings. He was a mother hen through and through and he didn't like how he was constantly worrying. The captain pulled Danni out of the rookie judge's reach and soon she was talking to the pirate. He listened intently, eyebrows crossed together in curiosity. Like Luro, he managed to get the gist of it, but he was still confused. Why did pirate's want to be judged, was this guy a legend like Kai? He doubted anyone could match The Leviathan, Kai was definitely something else, and for a moment, he wondered how the man was doing.

Luro suggested drinks, and he took a seat. Yes, he didn't want to be here, but he was curious about what Shouta meant by the judging. The cook flashed Risa a reassuring grin...wait, why did she look nervous all of a sudden. "Are you alright?" He asked, he kept a kind smile on his face as he listened to Shouta speak. Whatever he meant by rookie judge, Nolan was sure of one thing, he didn't exactly trust this man and if and he'd be keeping a close eye on everything.
