[ alhaitham has been avoiding the topic of the tab, but only because he actually will be paying for all of it, no matter what kaveh says or does. no one but alhaitham needs to know that for now.
so vash isn't a vegetarian either. good. he looks at wolfwood. ]
That depends. Since we'll be having some meat-heavy dishes, I'd recommend pairing them with the red ale made in house. It's the most popular drink in the tavern. There's also a paler, Zaytun Peach-based brew if you'd rather have something lighter and more refreshing, though there are less citrusy options as well. If you're more interested in sampling their beers than finding pairing options, I can ask the server to prepare a flight for you with my recommendations.
[ who needs a drink menu when you have the embodiment of the sigma male grindset sitting right next to you ]
Vash looks over to Alhaitham, eyes twinkling like a dog who heard the world "walk." The drink menu is instantly abandoned as he's taken in by the descriptions and also this very specific point: ]
[ Vash tries not to kill things, but if the thing is dead already then what can he do... He also understands people need to eat to survive, which makes it easier, I guess. Overall, he's fine to eat anything. ]
Oh? My mistake. You sounded very enthused about the idea. [ he's just excited about getting turnt then? sure. ] If it's something that interests you, I'll ask them to prepare one. Tell me now if you have any preferences when it comes to beer.
[ vash earns a little smile this time. beer lovers 🤝 he goes ahead and waves down a server and rattles off a few names. vash will hear that they're getting two flights, with the tab still open for more.
[ If only Vash were not observative and keen, then he could brush off the smile as some kind of illusion. It could have been a trick of the light. Instead, he commits it to memory because smiles are good. Smiles are nice. And he offers his own, friendly and warm, turning to bright and excited.
TWO FLIGHTS!!! Vash is really here, thinking that Alhaitham has to be rich! Because he knows that Kaveh BARELY has any money to this name. ]
All right, so the card game... I'm guessing it's popular? Kaveh seemed into it.
[ if he and vash didn't already know how unfortunately liquid alhaitham is, they'll get to as the night goes on.
in comes the appetizers and the flights. alhaitham has a mug of his usual. ]
Genius Invocation TCG. It was once a simple game of dice and cards made up by two Akademiya students. The concept was brought to a publishing house in Inazuma, and it quickly became a phenomenon all across Teyvat.
[ after spreading a mat onto the table, he opens the casket of tomes and starts shuffling the deck. ]
An acquaintance of ours participates often in international tournaments.
[ Well... It is good to know that Alhaitham is well off, though. Kaveh is taken care of—if he stays. Vash doesn't know what's going on there, but he isn't going to ask when they're here to have a nice dinner!
He strokes his chin before taking one cup from the flights, sipping it with cat-like curiosity. His eyes light up with little twinkle, rounded like a doe's. ]
Woah. [ International echoes in his mind as his attention flicks to the splayed mat. ] It sounds like a sport rather than a game.
