[ diluc nods, and rolls his sleeves back as he starts to prepare viktor's drink. he makes sure whatever ingredient bottles he uses are kept in plain sight. ]
...I agree. It does feel different when you're drifting in a sea of stars. ...Isolating. I can't yet decide if there's any comfort in its depth and beauty, or only coldness.
[ in the meantime, he pours a mixture of apple cider, ginger ale, and a dash of lemon into a tall glass, and slides it over to viktor. ]
This is somewhat similar to a popular drink we serve at the tavern, for those looking to sober up at the end of the night.

[Making drinks is... like chemistry in a way. He isn't a chemist necessarily, but it's still a sort of science, and so he's very interested watching Diluc work with the liquids.]
Coldness can be beautiful sometimes. Deadly if not respected, but... beautiful.
[He leans over the glass to look inside, and then he pulls it close so he can have a sniff and a sip. His brows lift. ALSO, HE REALLY NEEDS THOSE BUFFS, HELLO. Don't (jk).]
It's... pretty good. You are a master of your craft.
You're right. I suppose it's about awareness, and not just awe.
[ IF ONLY HE COULD MAKE BUFFING FOOD ITEMS HERE... anyway the compliment draws a very faint smile from him. ]
'Pretty good' sounds hardly content. If you've any suggestions, I'm open to them.
[ he's playing around with semantics, but also not disingenuous. one can't improve without concrit, after all. da vikky can leave a kudo and a comment. ]
[As someone not a drinker, not a culinary worker, and not a chemist, he isn't sure if he has the credentials to be giving someone like Diluc advice on drinks... (his thoughts)]
I understand. I haven't acquired the taste for it, I guess. Thank you, though.

Sorry, no. It's... I don't think I've ever had anything like it before, so it's new.
[Sometimes, you are a nerd who stays holed up in a lab. That's fine.]
It's not bad at all. The alcohol completely changes the taste of the drink, I imagine.

No need to apologize.
[ he recognizes he is the one giving viktor a hard time, at least... ]
I'm glad to hear it. Should you ever find yourself in need of a beverage, feel free to ask. I'd be happy to improve my repertoire.
[ he nods at the mention of alcohol, expression shifting slightly. ] It does. I'm not very partial to it, myself.

Alcohol has its uses, but you're far from the only one who doesn't partake.
[ despite owning a winery he is so biased... anyway, he gives viktor a cordial nod. ]
My pleasure.
