[Is that drink... blue? Richard has never seen anything quite like it before - he usually sticks to wine himself - and will just be peering at it curiously.]
[She likes Richard. Enough not to brush him off, but she doesn't think she can even try to explain. And Noel is... a subject that shouldn't be brought up anyway.
So after opening her mouth and shutting it a few times, trying to think of a rseponse that isn't rude, she just gives a sigh.]
[There's an understanding tone to his words, because he... well. He doesn't want to think about the way he acted during that experiment. That's part of why he's here himself.]
[He lifts one hand to display his own wine glass with a bit of a wry smile. He's not exactly proud of this habit he's developing, but sometimes it's nice to just let the alcohol blur your mind for a little while.]
I suppose we should be thankful that the Malnosso are kind enough to provide us with such a variety of antidotes to their experiments.
It's definitely not for many. [She's eyeing him just to see if he drank enough to make a difference.] Honestly, I usually drink something a lot less strong.
You have interesting tastes, Miss Nami.

[She holds up her own bottle. Goro once described it as 170 proof.]

[And he'll take that bottle, peering at it and swishing the liquid in it around for a moment before tilting his head back and taking a drink.
... and then promptly going a very interesting shade of red because strong is an UNDERSTATEMENT, whoa.]

I think I'll survive, at the very least. But I don't think I'll be trying that again, either.
