I want to try something.

[ nice. he's dipping a glass into the "aged grape juice" and holding up the glass to whatever light is nearby. ]

[watches him do this...]

Tell me your secrets.

Give me a moment.

[ he takes a sizeable sip of it. and wrinkles his nose like he's waiting for the overpowering urge to empty his stomach as punishment for eating regular food.

...

.....

............. ]

... Ha.

[this does not register to her as an accomplishment because he drank wine in camp before, so she's kind of just standing here expectantly like yes? good?]

[ he'll just chug the rest. ]

...

I suppose I'll have to try the food in the refectory next, but this isn't a bad sign.

-- What? Wait, do you mean you can eat?

[?????

!!!!!!]

Maybe?

I drank some of this accidentally the other day and it didn't seem to do anything to me. Might as well test it out and see what happens.

[she's doing that vibrating like she wants to hug him thing again]

[ looks at her so warily. ]

[she restrains herself. just barely.]

Aw, fangs, I wish you could eat something that isn't all this, the food here's awful. This can't be the first thing you try.

Oh goody. I feel so excited for my first attempt at regular food in two hundred years.

[ deadpan. ]

I doubt we'll be stumbling across a high end restaurant any time soon.

We'll find you something good. Actually - actually, maybe I can ask one of the culties if they've got good food hidden somewhere? They can't be eating this slop.
