And then a wild voice test appeared

[zumo]

[Hijikata is not, strictly speaking, a drinking man. Sure, he'll claim it's by choice out loud, but the truth is he has precious little tolerance for alcohol of any sort.

And yet, here he is nearly a week after arrival, driven at last into the loving, unjudgmental arms of Good Spirits. Wonders never cease in Luceti, it would seem.

Closer inspection would reveal, though, that his sake bottle is rather...full. And that at the moment, the man who ordered it is mostly just. Staring at it. It is, in fact, entirely possible that he only ordered it because it's one of the only things in this whole goddamn place that reminds him of home.

Presently, he'll gaze out the window, sake still untouched. What could he be thinking about? Care to ask him?]

[Orphen's not much of a drinker, either, but hey, here he is. Good Spirits had to have other things that might be worth drinking, right? He takes a seat nearby and orders something of the non-alcoholic sort, and by the time it's brought back to him, he can't help but notice that Hijikata... still hasn't done anything at all! So he makes an idle comment before taking a sip of his drink.]

It's not going to drink itself, you know.

[Snapped out of his reverie, Hijikata glances over at the other man, an eyebrow raised at his light attempt at conversation.

Hijikata hasn't had nearly enough to drink to be humorous in return, but all of a sudden he found himself in a talkative mood.]

No, it isn't.

[trollkiller]

Something on your mind, then?

[He seemed pretty darn distracted... Not that Orphen would push him to talk. It's just that there was plenty of time for casual conversation in a place like Luceti.]
