[ Think think think think, there was another one, wasn't there? A dessert drink with vodka... ]

Mudslide. It has coffee liqueur, lots of cream, vodka, and Irish cream liqueur in it. With chocolate garnish. Basically a milkshake with alcohol.

[ Marcille's eyes are glittering now. She's not a huge coffee drinker, but the rest of it... ]

That sounds delicious! [ She brings her menu back to her chest. She's found her drink. ] Y-You can't really taste the alcohol in it, right? If it has a lot of cream?

[saudadist]

There's always going to be an alcohol aftertaste, I think. But with so many other flavors, it'll be easy to ignore it.

[ And even then, the alcohol can be lessened with proper ratios. ]

[picky]

[ Marcille considers it for a second, her eyes searching over the menu once more. Then she looks back up at Luc and nods determinedly. ]

I'd feel bad wasting it if I didn't like it... but I'll try it anyway. [ She smiles a little. ] You should do that on your birthday, right?

[saudadist]

I think so. If not then, then when?

[ She glances upward briefly as she repeats her words in her head, hoping they make sense on review. ]

Could always try the "virgin" version without the alcohol too if the aftertaste bothers you.

[picky]

[ She presses her hand to her mouth. Her cheeks are a little pink. ]

That's what they call it here when a drink is nonalcoholic? "Virgin"?

[saudadist]

[ oh no...cute ]

Yeah. Not sure why they came up with that, but it's the common lingo.

[picky]

[ She gives a little snort behind her hand and looks at Lucy with a smile. Hehe. ]

Got it.

[ She clearly doesn't get it, but she's not questioning it anymore. ]

I'll try the alcoholic one! It's my birthday, so this is as good a time as any, right?
