Thanks for that expert description, [ charles says and fights back more laughter, but it spills over into the way his voice lilts — though he rolls his eyes, then, as junpei takes another sip. ]
Oi, if you don't like it, you don't have to keep drinking it. Maybe you forgot, but there's more where that came from. Like, loads. The lady at the store looked at me like I was a bit mental.
[ and then charles had spent a few minutes trying to convince her that he's not, in fact, an alcoholic or trying to drown his sorrows or something, and had possibly just made things worse. anyway — ]
Hm, alcoholic or not? Cause for alcoholic drinks, it's gotta be that one from the club I used to sneak into, near the boarding school I went to. They'd let me in, but the barkeep, well, he'd only sell me a few things, but there was this one drink, they called it The Swerve. No bloody clue what was in it, but it was real good. A bit sweet, a bit sharp. Have a couple and you'd get this pleasant buzz, you know? Not too much, but just enough.
