Ugh. I can't take it. Continuing to look and FEEL you make that expression AT me is giving me hives. Let me down.
[ This seems to be the standard villain reaction.
Laughs again and pets his little head with one finger, but then puts him down as requested. ]

Am I really? I feel special.
[some brief, faint amusement. His own feelings sober as he sits next to Minuet, leaning back on his hands. He doesn't prompt him to talk, but there's a gentle sense of patience, the kind that comes with being willing to sit and wait for as long as you have to]

Anyway. Now you know. My 'deal.'
I believe it's to your explicit benefit you share in return, Minuet of Bluebell.

[ surely it’s fine! He’s seen plenty of mortal drink it! (That he has not seen a living mortal drink it somehow slips his notice) ]
Please, be my guest!
[ tosses the bottle to him, it’s tied with a fancy little ribbon and stopped with a cork. The liquid inside is almost syrup-thick and smells sharp and sweet and smooth. ]

[ whelp! It is easily the most delicious thing he’s ever had in his life and it burns from head to toe the second it hits his tongue. It’s like if Ever Clear had a baby with silk and that baby stuck a fork in an electric socket while biting you. ]

[ How could this happen to him, a professional alcoholic?
He chokes and sputters, emotional bond lighting up with INDIGNATION. HOW DARE THIS ALCOHOL BITE HIM BACK kinda wants to take another sip tho... ]
--What the hell!

[ oh, oh no Miku is profoundly charmed, and only the very tiniest slightest bit contrite. The bite goes away much more quickly than it would with alcohol, at least, leaving behind just the feeling of warmth and wellness. Like he just took a slug of pure Life, because he did. The buzz begins almost immediately as well, this stuff is not fucking around. ]
I did try to warn you!
[ he’s not taking the bottle back yet, in case Minuet wants to try again ]

[ There's a blink and you miss it frown when he notices that, but the sharp alarm and regret-tinged concern and sympathy lingers ]
I think he felt that way about you too.
[ Maybe more. There had been a lot to worry about when it came to the things Styx would sacrifice in the name of that loyalty. ]
...It's pretty hard to believe that anyone could be more loyal than Styx though.

[he lets his head fall back, sighing tiredly. There's a low key feeling of shame that starts to bubbles up, something that lingers in the background, just loud enough to remind you that it's there]
Like anything I felt didn't matter, because he deserved this. And he would be safe back home.

Why do you hear me describe my circumstance, and feel for it that you so intimately understand it.
[ Styx had his moments. Sometimes the moments were 8 months long but it's fine. ]
Did he tell you anything, about his time before coming here?

[ Glares at the bottle for a sec before he takes another sip just to prove the alcohol wrong (and because it's the best thing he's ever tasted)
A little piece of hair at his hairline turns from black to blonde. That's probably not anything. ]
