But some people do? Otherwise I imagine they wouldn't make it.
[He's just gonna look at the menu, squinting at it a bit. There... Sure are a lot of things he doesn't recognize here! Which isn't a shock, but it's still awfully overwhelming.]
...I don't even know where to start. Um. I think things that taste sweet...?
( she nods, and the fact she takes a long drink of her own beer before reaching for the menu should be proof enough of where she stands on the matter. )
Mmm... ( she pushes the menu back to him, opened to the cocktails page. ) They're sweet.
( yeah, everything he does really reinforces that comment she made.
and with the order selected, the bartender gets to work. meanwhile, Kate has a question to answer. )
... Somethin' about the way it's made lowers your inhibitions and shit, I think. ( Marc would have a definite answer, and Kate knows enough to know that poison is not an incorrect term for it, but she'll... leave that one out for now. ) Bit like coffee wakes you up, I guess.
( Kaede... she has so much to teach you, but being able to do this is oddly freeing. all she has to talk about are facts, more or less. he doesn't ask questions about things which are particularly awkward.
it fills the silence in a pleasant way. distracts her in a different way to normal. )
Can be. Guess it's relaxing for people.
( it is for her, at least. but, really? )
... It's easier experienced.

he's gonna regret that. she can speak from experience there, but... well. experience really is the best way to understand how alcohol works, in Kate's opinion. how will you know your limits if you don't go over them at least once? )
No gag reflex, huh?
( there's probably a few people who would be interested in that fact. )

Yeah... Plus, he's very nice and gives me snacks.
[Snacks are good!! He appreciates them. It's more than he's used to getting.
He blinks, looking down at the beer. He... Can't quite hide his grimace, and he thinks about what Maruki would tell him to do. Be honest, probably.]
I... Don't like it very much.

that doesn't exactly surprise her, given his expression, but hey. may as well try it, right? )
Lots of people don't. ( shrug. hm... ) Plenty of other shit on the menu.
( she'll even tell him what they taste like. )

( usually. )

I guess I'll go for this one.
[He points at a random drink on the page, not even bothering to skim the description. It's not like he's going to know anything that's in it...]
But how does the mind thing work?

I see... I didn't know coffee could do that. I've just heard it's very bitter.
[He's never had it himself, obviously.
He thanks the bartender once his new drink arrives, pressing his lips together.]
And lowering your inhibitions is a good thing?

Relaxing...
[He says it like the concept is completely foreign to him.]
But if that's the case, then I suppose...
[He's just. Going to down that cocktail in one fell swoop.]
i'm gomen about her
welp.
