Look, Lize, I appreciate what youre trying to do, but we dont do that kind of thing, Grim said. He took a sip from the cup of coffee in front of him and grimaced. Uggh, what is this?
Its Tanber Tea, Lize said with a smile and a sip. Its actually quite good, if you have a palate capable of distinguishing between flavours, I suppose since you reached the age of majority youve done nothing but drink beer?
Well, I didnt really need to be the age of majority to drink, its not as if that sort of activity is frowned upon in our circles.
Lizes smile faltered. She had a pretty smile, it did a lot to offset the sour-faced glare she usually wore. Grim hadnt seen her in almost a year, not since the fiasco at the Cumberland Gala, and well, he couldnt say he wasnt pleased to see her, it was still a surprise.
So, can you help me your not? Lize said. She took another sip of the tea and Grim caught the faintest flicker of repulsion cross her face.
