I'm going to create a pond in your subconscious just to dunk you into it if you keep saying thank you to me. You don't owe me anything. This is just the normal thing to do for someone.
And besides, I was an asshole the other day. Consider this me making up for that if anything.

[he's pretty sure he would have noticed if they were there before.
there's a very gentle ask in the air, a whisper of wind requesting to reshape the world in some way. Minuet understands the shape of it, since it's his own subconscious: Lethe is trying to add flowers to the tree.]
It's not alright. But I won't do it again. Or I'll do my best not to.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[he doesn't remember exactly what apple blossoms look like so there's an odd mix of apple blossoms and plum blossoms up in there. but, they're pretty and they smell nice.]
"A whole lot of brother feelings"...Well, sure. I love my brother more than anything. But I know it can be complicated, too. I only just recently started talking to him again. So it's no excuse on my end for being callous.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
Ah. It's not really a secret. But it's not really a fun, lighthearted topic of conversation to have in someone else's subconscious. At least wait until you wake up before you ask. You should be thinking of cute letters for the kids right now.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
It's the poison resistance. Alcohol, painkillers, and most medications count as poisons to the skill. How else do you think we managed to survive the bartender ritual? I was horribly sober the whole time.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
Yeah. I thought we'd get to upgrade a portion of our barn into a proper kitchen if we won.
[you can hear the mild regret in his voice. imagine being absolutely sober when you live with Charon for a game where you're telling everyone secrets and memories and shit.]
But I did get a bedroom, so I guess it wasn't a total waste.

Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
I can turn the poison resistance off if you give me enough forewarning! I'm just not gonna make a habit of it when I'm here by myself. Special occasions only. So, we can still drink just fine.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
I appreciate it. It's good for other people to know in case of emergencies, but that doesn't mean everyone should know someone's skills. Even in a place like this where everyone's pretty friendly.

During the bartender ritual. About your brother.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[ Lethe blinks, and suddenly the tree is laden with apples. Those weren't there before, were they? ]
It's alright. Don't worry about it.

He's successful, petals drifting down slowly like a delicate snowfall. ]
You don't gotta avoid talking about brother stuff forever just 'cause I'm in the room.
I know you've got a whole lot of brother feelings.

Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[ Wait.
Considers what they're literally talking about ]
Ah, but maybe it's not right to ask . . .
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[ A pause ]
Do you drink?
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[gestures all around them; Minuet has enough control over his own space, he figures he can remember what happens inside of it even when he's awake.]
And yeah, I drink.

Wait, I guess poison resistance would do that, wouldn't it . . .

Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]

Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
Well -- we can still drink, I guess, if you like the taste. It might be a pointless exercise otherwise.

Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
[the wary, clipped confirmation does somewhat imply that it is not common to be able to turn off an ability]
But it's a secret, so don't tell anyone. It doesn't matter here too much, but old habits die hard.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]

It's not really anyone's business anyway.
Re: [in the nebulous zone of days like 20-23ish when Minuet is sleeping]
Everyone still asks about skills anyways and it feels weird not to respond.
