[okay, if nothing else—it doesn't sound like jessica is upset at her. she sounds like her usual self, which is a little rough around the edges. wanda can handle as much.]

I'm not much of a drinker.

[preferring tea over most anything else, but she reckons that's not being sold here anyway...]

Is it ale? Or something stronger?

[expositus]

[ oh, she's upset. just not enough of an asshole to not be sympathetic, especially when she knows someone else has had experience with not being the one in control of things. she nods to the bartender and asks for two more of what she's ordered before pounding back the rest of what she's got in her cup. ]

It's stronger. But not by much. [ but then it takes much more to get her drunk. ] Tastes like cherry whiskey mixed with potpourri, for lack of a better explanation.

[ sounds appetizing, doesn't it? ]

[carmesi]

[ah.

she's going to be expected to drink, isn't she?]

Sounds disgusting.

[except jessica's gone and ordered two, and it doesn't sound exactly like something wanda could put down very easily. she offers a scrunch of her nose.]

—my brother would have drunk it in a heartbeat, though.

[expositus]

[ well, jess will drink it if wanda doesn't, but she's not about to make her if she doesn't want to. ]

It is. [ but she takes a drink of her refill anyway. ] Ale wasn't doing the trick today.

[ at the mention of a brother, jess's attention turns fully towards wanda, though she tries to keep her expression impassive. she'd remembered reading something about how there'd been another person in sokovia, someone who hadn't made it. but she hadn't had much reason to look into things beyond that. ]

Did you want one? [ she sounds a little less harsh with those words; not really gentle, just less sharp. ]

[carmesi]

[something shifts a little—the general ambience, the general tone of this interaction. wanda glances back at jessica, does her best to keep her curiosity from making her read into the other woman's mind.

priorities and all.]

I mean. [a pause, really debating with herself over what to do next.] I could probably try it.

[just try it. she reaches for the second cup brought over.]

And make up my mind about it after.
