I still think you're more of a Westerner than the other Countries. When I learned about your partner... I kinda warmed up to ya a little. Even if I hated you seein' that memory.
... That week we were in the desert, when you told me to fight? Reminded me of Brad, back in my early days of knowin' him. "Be greedy, and cling to that life with all you’ve got."
We didn't talk too much last week, but I learned you were protectin' somebody you cared about and... I get it. I get wantin' to do that. 'n after Monday... I'm... okay sayin' we're friends...
[This is painfully embarrassing, but Disce just watches him talk.]
Didn't think I'd end up puttin' my trust in you... but here we are.
[He actually reaches up to tip his hat in front of his eyes, but its definitely not hiding the bashful look on his face. After a moment, he finally speaks.]
I...I'm quite touched. [Irene just nods again, nose twitching, friendly.] I rather think I'm alright saying we're friends. I would be glad to be.
[HE ACTUALLY IS A BIT MOVED, GIVE HIM A MOMENT.]
It's quite a thing to put trust in someone, and I'll...hold that quite precious to me. Thank you.

[He's used to it!]
So believe me, I'm hardly offended. It was quite a suitable response for a chef, I feel!

He hasn't even said this much to the other East wizards, they just are friends. Saying it aloud feels so strange.]
Th-That's all...
Thanks fer listenin'.

[Irene is a happy little hare, kind of again waving a paw at Nero and slapping it down on the table.]
[Sholmes smiles warmly over at Nero.]
Mm. Would you like to get a drink...my dear friend?
no subject
Disce moves a little closer to Irene. Friends?]
Yeah. Sounds good.
[He could go for a drink or two.]
no subject
Then the game is afoot! For a drink. [A light little laugh.] Let's go.

How d'ya feel about red wines?
NERO SMILING ICON SO RARE. SO SOFT

[He'll pick out a random nice red wine.]
This one looks good.
no subject
[He nods.]
Let's have that one, then. Shall I get some glasses?
no subject
[He'll easily open up the bottle.]
