[ there’s a little proud trill of feeling. He IS gonna go far! He loves going far!!! And just sill the general pleasant surprise of someone who’s spent their life somewhere grass-deprived. ]
Glad to hear it. Will you play with me then, Ser Bluebell?
[ can he see scarring? Because if so, he is going to be gripped by the profound beauty of the mortal form, sorry about that. Otherwise he’s just very touched. ]
[ he’s being good! He’s being polite! If he’s writing poetry, you can’t actually hear the words and now the coat is on and covering both dick AND ass so let’s move on! ]
Think I might be able to do you one better.
[ goes to rifle through his own discarded clothes, produces a bottle full of gently glowing amber liquid ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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 ]
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Kind of amused but also kind of wondering if he should offer this guy a coat or towel or something ]
Honestly?
That attitude's gonna get you far.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Sure, if you put pants on.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
You drive a hard bargain! Best I can do is leggings.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Hm.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Blood and darkness! It actually makes you uncomfortable. Oh dear, I’ve . . . [ looks around ]
A toga? A wrap over the leggings?
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
BETTER THAN DOING A WHOLE RITUAL WITH A STRANGE DUDE WITH HIS DICK OUT ]
Give it back later.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
On the honor of my house.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
VALIANTLY ignores being perceived but not without some discomfort still ]
Dunno if that means much here. But if you don't, you'll owe me booze.

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
What is that?
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
It is nectar, the drink of the gods. Not yet vinted into ambrosia, but it still has a nice kick to it.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
[ bro ]
How drunk can you get off that.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
[ !!!!! and a little "what's the worst that could happen?" and curiosity and anticipation ]

Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
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!
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare

[ he’s not taking the bottle back yet, in case Minuet wants to try again ]
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
[ 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. ]
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
Clears his throat, handing the bottle back. His emotions are mostly just "holy fuckin shit," currently. ]
You better take that.
Re: Day 69 (nice), emotionshare
[ he takes a healthy but respectful swig himself ]
