You're worried I'll lose myself to the draw of these moons, then.
[ It wasn't a question. It was stated pretty bluntly as she struck a match to light the candle, setting out the snifters beside it on the small breakfast table. ]
[ Bluntness suit the topic just fine. There is no need to sugarcoat it. No matter the self-control one possess, those things eventually become inescapable. ]
The changes this world forces on us are pretty severe — haven't seen anyone unaffected yet and it's my fourth month here. [ There are many that wish they will be that one fortunate exception though. That's a wish that never comes true. ]
[ Scathach poured herself a portion of the whiskey before passing the bottle and other snifter back towards Cu. There was a pitcher of water on the table that she scooped some water from with her hand, letting it drip into her portion as she kept it near the candle letting it warm and occasionally rotating. ]
I've faced similar things in my past... human minds are fragile things, after all, and gods so often enjoy preying upon them...
But I also don't want you worrying over me so much. It upsets our balance a bit, doesn't it?
[ Caster is a lot less generous in the amount of whiskey. He can't refuse the hospitality, but he can do that much. It's tempting to get lost in the swirl of the liquid and how it reflects the light — it can't give answers, but can give a short respite from questions themselves ]

[ Looks like it's going to follow him, but it's a familiar role to fall into. After a year with Ritsuka at least ]
Tell me more. How you gave those gods a good beating.
Hours upon hours! [ A short laugh ] But those are not bad memories.
[ For as tough and harsh teacher she could be— in their era that was a good quality of a mentor. And the time in his training at Dun Scaith was part of his golden years.
But he won't press, unfortunately, he does not have a whole evening. One day, who knows? ] So how's the taste?
[ Does the whiskey get spearmom seal of approval? ]
Well... [ Another sip, letting it sit in her mouth for a moment for deliberately swallowing a bit at a time, feeling it roll down her throat, warm her chest from within... ]
For something that's meant as a lunar sedative, I'll say it's perfectly drinkable. Not the finest, but serves its purpose well. The sugar with the medicine need not be a delicacy.
