A wry little laugh. "Wouldn't you drink, if you were me? Anyway; I won."

[sulahnan]

She shrugs, splaying her palms as if to show that she isn't holding anything. "I have no idea what I would do if I were you. But fine, sure, you won and your lady wife's honor is saved."

Pause for effect.

"There's nothing I can do to tarnish it."

[bouchonne]

"There you are, then," he says, with a little wave of his hand. Then a dramatic pause for effect, and he adds, "Well, and also, now you owe me eternal servitude."

[sulahnan]

"Uhhh how about I owe you two bottles of wine instead?"

[bouchonne]

A skeptical noise. "That depends. How cheap are you? You seem like you'd be cheap."

[sulahnan]

"How do you know I haven't been saving up all my wages for just such an occasion?"

It's half true, anyway. She has been saving up, but not for wine. Not for anything, just saving because what's she gonna spend it on? Nothin'. She nudges the broken wine bottle with her foot to look at the label.

"Maybe I'll just get more of that." Athessa tilts her head, trying to read the name. "Bord...e...bordie-ucks?"

[bouchonne]

"Mm," he says contemplatively. Then - "I do love my bordeeyucks. I would appreciate if you would find more of it for me."

[sulahnan]

"Then it's settled. Your wife's honor is preemptively avenged, one less elf has to be a servant, and you get to keep drinking the gross grape juice. Everybody wins."

She claps her hands down onto the arms of the chair, stands, and turns to leave.

[bouchonne]

But as she goes, he calls after her - "And I won."

[sulahnan]

She turns as she approaches the door, walking backwards through it.

"Did you?" If everyone wins, it kind of makes him winning less special. She grins, and disappears out into the hall.
