[video] His people would have at least nine historically known words for the stuff, after all

[warriorscribe]

*Yes, this was totally worth bringing his dinner up to the library to share. Enoch is seated in the terminal chair, a plate of glazed chicken in his lap and a glass of rosewater wine in his hand. While his words and manner are formal, there's a real, if exhausted, gratitude in his voice.*

I must give gratitude where it's due. *Enoch raises the glass.* It's much appreciated. Thank you, Riki.

((backdated to the dinner hours of the first, of course.))

For the good food and drink, of course. The drink in particular. I think most of this tower could use some wine right now.

[chainsawn]

[ At least Urotsuki does know what alcohol is. She's had it in her dreams, after all! Although it makes her wonder.. ]

Can I have wine too? You said "most of this tower", right?

[warriorscribe]

*On the one hand? It could make her tendencies even worse. On the other? It could calm them. She looked young, perhaps newly matured. So she probably wouldn't have had too much wine before...*

Er...you haven't had any before, have you?

[chainsawn]

.. I have. Sort of.

[ Since people said stuff in her dream doesn't count, but it counts to her, hence why she adds that "sort of" at the end.. ]

[warriorscribe]

"Sort of"? *And Enoch was trying to figure out how "sort of" was even possible. Either you had wine or you didn't...*

[chainsawn]

Uh-huh. I drank it just like this.. [ She pantomimes drinking - aka just pretending she's holding a glass and then moving her hand up to her lips and throwing her head back. ]

[warriorscribe]

But what does "sort of" mean here?

[chainsawn]

[ .. Her face changes a little for once, frowning as if she's trying to figure out something difficult. ]

People say dreams don't count. But mine are different..

[warriorscribe]

Do you have dreams that mimic reality?

[chainsawn]

In my dreams I can do things that I can do here too. So.. [ .. ah, wait, she never thought of it that way! ] .. maybe this is all a dream.

[warriorscribe]

It isn't a dream...

*If they were dreaming, he's sure he'd have woken up multiple times by now, at least.*

In...in any case, it may not be the same, still. It's best to start light, as if you've never had it.

[chainsawn]

How do I start off light? [ As if Urotsuki wouldn't take that the wrong way, really. ]

Do I need to make sure to not drink in the dark?

[warriorscribe]

No, no... Starting off light means drinking very little to test your own tolerance. It's important to find out how much is too much for you.

[chainsawn]

[ Oh.. now she seems to get it. Maybe. It's hard to tell with how weirdly this girl takes everything. ]

So I should drink just a few drops?

[warriorscribe]

Wh-...no. Try having only as much as this *and he holds up his own wineglass* first.

[chainsawn]

[ .. There's a moment where she thinks about it, or maybe she's trying really hard to make sure to remember it, but then she nods. ]

Don't worry. I won't have more than that at first.. it's a promise.
