[Indeed, the context for why “David” might be an insulting name to be assigned flies completely over Lilias’s head, as does any knowledge that it might potentially be pronounced any other way. Her Earth knowledge is still barebones at best, though she does at least seem to let Tezca’s comment pass without trying to pursue it down that rabbit hole.]
Likewise, [she says. Bel continues to say nothing at all, though the bird does at least look at Tezca when spoken to, briefly bobbing his head in a gesture of apparent acknowledgement.
Tezca’s question has Lilias’s gaze slipping over to follow his, though obviously most of what she sees is completely alien to her. Note to self: Read up on local brand names for different liquors before going out again. And learn what “cocktails” are.]
Usually I prefer wine, but not at places like this. [Places where the wine probably won’t be any good, she means. She is, unfortunately, a bit of a wine snob.] A few drinks of something formidable wouldn’t go amiss. What do you like, here?
