[there is something so funny to me about tiny, tiny alphinaud chugging a tankard of mead, but here we are. anyway, alphinaud is given his mead, and virgo casts a glance (or at least turns their head) in his direction.]
Tch. That's just how it is. People act nice, but then they're like, hey! Fuck you! I acted like I was a saint doing things for the sake of doing them but now everyone owes me!
[ There's a pause as Alphinaud considers these words, then: ]
I... see you have been terribly wronged in your time. [ lmao. ] Pray worry not, Virgo. On my honor, I do indeed swear 'tis but only a friendly gesture.

What— the fuck is mead, anyway?
no subject
Oh—you've not had it before?
no subject
[another glance at the mead. (is it a wary glance? who knows - it's impossible to tell their expression with the veil.]
no subject
Do you like honey? If so, 'tis likely you may enjoy mead.
no subject
[they give a little huff, as if offended.]
Honey isn't bad. Give it here, I'm going to try it.
[order your own, asshole.]
no subject
Here— [ Alphinaud hands it out. ] You may keep it, if you wish. 'Tis no trouble for me to order another.

[they snatch the mead and turn away]

Are you expecting one? I've no reason to expect aught from you.
no subject
There's always a catch.

[they stare at him for a few long moments, as if wondering if he actually just fucking said that. oh my god. i wish to perish.]
...if you're lying to me I'll fucking eat you.
no subject
But, yes. Alphinaud looks briefly alarmed. ]
Eat? [ WHAT ] I told you, I promise!

The region of Eorzea, on a star called Etheirys. I would be surprised were you to know either name, however.
no subject
Haven't heard of either of them, no.

[rude. they sip at the mead.]
Why'd you call me here, anyway?
