But she has a point, and since he's not planning on asking anyone out anytime soon after that fiasco with Kallian, he simply nods, acknowledging that she's probably right. And since he's already more or less agreed to the drink in the first place, he decides that it's not worth arguing who's going to get who what, and nods down to what is, at the moment, a mostly-empty mug.
"Whisky. Or what passes for whisky around here, I should say. It's not bad, but...it's not exactly the same, if you know what I mean."
And not just because it's in a small mug rather than a glass. But she's a rifter, and while he can't be completely certain, he thinks there's at least a possibility that she'll understand what he's on about. In the meantime, however, he settles back a bit in his seat and gives her a thoughtful look.
