[Anyway obviously Raven was like, the first one to settle in at the pub. He's all pirated out, in his dumb outfit that is the first good one he's been given if you ask him. He's not drunk yet, when Hua Cheng comes in, but he's working on it.]
Hey, Hua Cheng, y'see they finally gave us a proper bar this week!? [He's so happy.]
[ Hua Cheng is owning his pirate getup, considering someone's first question to him was whether he was a pirate or not. But the port town is more of what he's used to, especially against the space station, good riddance. ]
Better take advantage of it while you still can, if we're to only have it for a week like the last place.
[I love you too Snow. Raven is a terrible goblin. Drinking right from the bottle is a private time activity. Since he's in public he grabbed the first drinking vessel he found.]
Mm, ya think so? I mean, it's still red wine, but it's gonna taste different depending on where it's made, y'know. [Terroir and all that.]
[ Whatever, Hua Cheng doesn't care much about propriety, so why not drink like a goblin also? Lord. ]
En. There will always be variety, but that's to be expected even if I asked for wine from different places in Zhongguo, let alone in a different world. Whiskey? Never heard of it. The closest in taste is baijiu.
See, that's the trouble with hard liquor. Too much variation. Even if it tastes a bit different from place ta place, wine is wine at the end of the day.
[He laughs, but he offers Hua Cheng the bottle.]
Y'seem a lot less on edge when ya ain't got yer territory to defend. [He means Xie Lian.]

Don't say that! Maybe we'll get ta keep it if no one dies!
[Maybe no one will die...]
no subject
We can hope, can't we?
[ He doubts that no one will die.
And he will be very right. ]
What do you have there?
no subject
[He's drinking wine out of a beer mug, which is frankly absurd.]
Just wine.
[It's like 2PM on a Monday why are you drinking.]
no subject
goddamn beer mug. I hate this, Caitie. ]
At least wine is wine, no matter where you go. [ wine in beer mugs at 2 PM. aight. ]
