[ Curiosity and suspicion immediately having a standoff ]

What is that?

[ smug smug pleased ]

It is nectar, the drink of the gods. Not yet vinted into ambrosia, but it still has a nice kick to it.

[ bro ]

How drunk can you get off that.

Depending on one’s constitution, for mortals it usually ranges between “solidly” and “profoundly”.

Count me in!

[ !!!!! and a little "what's the worst that could happen?" and curiosity and anticipation ]

[ 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. ]

[ Catches it, giving it a little swirl ]

--Well, bottoms up!

[ CHUG ]

Erm! I’d sip th—

[ 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 ]

[ 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. ]

[ surprise?? Confusion?? Is that how blonde hair happens to mortals? Is that why so many heroes are blonde? Wait, no, that can’t possibly be right. ]
