*Meg is sitting on a stool, her back against the bar, watching the rest of the room; there's a half-empty cup of coffee in her hands.
She looks . . . on edge.*

Well, he doesn't mean to, that's for sure, but when he goes to get a drink from the bar, can't quite help it when his arm knocks into hers, spilling a bit of each of their drinks.
"Sorry, there, Miss Meg."

Ennis blinks a few times, looking at her almost like he don't believe her.

It's beautiful, *Meg says, firmly.*
I'd take you to see it -
*An infinitesimal pause, before she adds, her voice exactly the same,* If I could, I would, I mean. As it is you'll have to get someone else to.

He hangs his head, just a little, and moves his arm closer, just a little, and nods, just a little.
"Sorry 'bout that, miss."

*Meg shrugs, and offers him a small smile.*
Eh bien - I'm not the only person who's Bound, am I? Lots of us in the same boat.
. . . without it being a literal boat, 'cause then we'd all be awfully seasick.

Ennis doesn't snicker.
Okay, maybe he does. Just a little.

*Meg looks serene.*
I just don't like to imagine what would happen if poor Bar got seasick. I mean - would all the drinks show up green?

. . .
Right, then.
"Ain't drinking nothing green."

- you've never had absinthe?
*Meg is shocked, SHOCKED.*

Had it? He ain't never heard of it. He looks at her with a blank stare.

*Meg is still staring.*
Dieu, Ennis - it's only the single most alcoholic beverage in all of time. You've never heard of it even?

That settles it, *Meg announces, with a decisive air.*
I'm ordering some - though, *she adds, fixing him with a stern look,* you don't want more than about a sip. Trust me on this.
*Bar, helpfully, has already provided a green bottle.*

He raises an eyebrow skeptically but waits and watches as the bottle appears, and glasses, and Meg pours.

*Meg hands him a glass, ceremoniously, and repeats her warning:* Remember, not more than a sip. I'm really too small to carry you upstairs.

Yeah, right. A sip. Ennis drinks about what he would from a shot glass.
And promptly coughs and sputters.
