With a bit of a grin, Ruby moves from her crate. Her stride is long with a slight swing to it, and it means she crosses the limited space quickly, grabbing a little wicker basket, raising it up triumphantly as she returns. "Maybe we can pretend you're less lush if we hide it all in a basket."

On that note, she grabs a little bundle of rags, all clean, but torn up for polishing and cleaning in turn, before she slides back onto the crate and sets out the rest of the bottles, tapping and labelling them as she goes. "Butterscotch for Goldenrod. Knight Commander Norrington seems like a good guy, and it is a very popular flavour back home. Chocolate-mint for Seafoam. I mean, obviously mint's green and all, but it kind of seemed to fit how... intense? Seeker Pentaghast is. Orange and cinnamon for Apricot, largely because actual apricot would be too easy, and cinnamon because..." And here she laughs at herself, "because Warden Constable Blackwall makes me think of a giant teddy bear and cinnamon and teddy bears are both cuddle and warm, so." There you go.

"And that just leaves the winning team."

As each is tapped Adelaide serves herself a small glass. The flavors are clear and clean and the color of each is nothing short of lovely. That Ruby has managed this only doubles her confidence in offering her this equipment. A side project such as this would do well for the Rifters- and for the Inquisition should they require a cut.

She doubts it but every possible avenue for gold cannot hurt.

"He does seem a bit like a bear, doesn't he? I do not know if it is the padded armor, the voice, or the beard." Oh ho, the winning team now, is it? Adelaide sits back with an arched brow, lips twisted in wry amusement. "You are terribly confident for someone that does not know with whom I will be matched."

The comment about Blackwall makes her laugh. "All of the above. I think the voice most of all, though. He wouldn't sound like a teddy bear if he was all snooty, or something."

Probably it's wrong to describe a senior member of a warrior order as being similar to a stuffed animal, huh? Oh well, she'll find a way to live with herself.

"Well, I mean, you won't have me on your team." A shrug, ultra relaxed. "You're clearly screwed." But, she picks it up, and pours a glass for both of them. "Raspberry, strawberry and rosewater."

[fleurdesel]

"Terribly presumptuous." But she accepts the glass all the same, trying to keep a straight face as she ships it. She doesn't succeed, surprise and appreciation slip past before she can lock it down, peering critically into her glass. "Mmhmm."

[eviscerates]

The appreciation is appreciated. Ruby's smile? Infuriating might be a good word for it.

"Sadly," she starts, not remotely sad at all, not even if you squint, "there's not enough for me to give you a bottle of this one."

[fleurdesel]

"...what will it cost me, Red?" She will pay and she will overpay if she must. This is far too fine a thing to be deprived of simply due to a little friendly animosity.

[eviscerates]

Leaning forward, and with a dramatic pause: "Half your flags."

Keep a straight face, keep a straight face, keep a straight face—

[fleurdesel]

"...that is hardly fair." Hardly fair and yet she is still considering it long enough to tap a finger against the table. "A third."

[eviscerates]

"Adelaide. I was kidding, I'm not going to coerce you with booze. Whatever you want? All yours."

Ruby included. I mean, nothing.

[fleurdesel]

"Good, I intend to take at least half of your teams." She says, tugging the bottle back for another glass.

[eviscerates]

"Except," she adds, with a primness that doesn't even suit her a little bit, "my flags." A beat, and she amends, "my team's flags."

But she grins and nudges her glass towards Adelaide so it can get a refill, too.
