Steve has to admit - only to himself, because if he voices it aloud, Chin will get that look on his face - Kono was cute when she was drunk.

"Okay, so what about this one?" Kono presses a finger to Steve's forearm, following a thin scar about four inches long.

"A knife."

"This one?" She once again points out a scar, poking him on the jaw, causing Steve to smile at her and Chin to roll his eyes. Danny all ready knows where all his scars came from (even those Kono can't see), so he wasn't paying much attention.

"Riffle."

Kono's eyes widen. "Really?"

Even Chin looks impressed.

Danny just snorts into his drink.

"Well, it was actually the butt of the riffle."

Kono almost looks disappointed. Chin interrupts his cousin's inspection by grabbing her by the hand. "Okay, Kono. Time to dance."

She twirls under his arm and went with the flow, laughing and obviously a bit tipsy. Steve chuckles as he turns away from watching the two to sip his Blue Hawaii.

"I can't believe they thought I survived getting shot in the face with a riffle," he says to his partner.

"I can. You're really hard to kill."
