"Cheap whiskey is fine. I've probably had worse. Not that I can even tell."
Nadine strives to keep her body language casual, not wanting Dean to feel cornered or anything like that. She doesn't want to come off as predatorial - she's done that in the past and hates how it feels. It's not that she thinks he's nervous, but...maybe unsure of her motives. She can understand.
"One time, right after the world ended, I did 'loot' a liquor store and try this ridiculously expensive scotch, the stuff went for over four hundred dollars. And it pretty much just tasted like burning to me."
Just a little anecdote to break the ice, so to speak. She takes the offered glass and watches him as he sits, studying him. She's not one to beat around the metaphorical bush, so she offers a smile and takes a step closer to him. Coyness doesn't come naturally to her, and even in these matters she has a somewhat practical approach. May as well just lay it all out, plainly.
"Look...nothing has to happen tonight that you aren't feeling. I'm not going to be offended if you just want to drink and talk or...play cards or something. It's fine. I just...I think you're very attractive and I like you and more importantly I trust you. I don't trust many people, for reasons I'm sure I don't have to explain, and I need trust when it comes to sex. And I..." She shakes her head, laughing a little but it's at herself.
"I've never actually picked somebody for myself. Even Jaskier was Julie's suggestion. I wanted to make a choice myself, for once."
