[ That hand on his back catches him right as he's taking a sip of his drink, and the force of it sends alcohol burning down both his esophagus and windpipe. For a moment, there's just the sound of coughing as he tries to clear away the booze cluttering up his pipes, with the occasional interspersed word in response to Izou's very generous offer. ]

That's [ cough cough ] very nice of you but [ hang on while he clears his throat ] I can pay for [ one last wheeze ] myself.

[ Okay, cool, now that he isn't choking half to death, he can respond properly. Ignore the reddened tint to his face and the slight rasp to his voice from all that coughing. ]

You sure I'm a nice guy though? You barely know anything about me. I could be a well-hidden serial killer for all you know.

Too many times to count, huh?

[ There's too much real confidence behind those words, as opposed to the usual bluster he's gotten used to, for him not to believe them, even if the only prompt more questions than answers. But now hardly seems like a good time to ask, not when Izou is deep into his cups and Wriothesley himself isn't drunk enough to let loose and ask. (A problem easily solved but also left for a different day.)

He takes another drink, careful not to choke on it this time, sighing after he swallows. The flush from before is gone, replaced by wry resignation. ]


Well, I hope for March's sake that doesn't happen again any time soon.
