[ it's not her first time in red wings, but she's not exactly a total regular. not yet, at any rate. she wanders in and out of many a bar in new amsterdam, looking after food and drink both. ]

[ she squints down at the drink being offered at the bar, admiring the colors of it. helena is very invested in trying new things, but the bartender has said the not-so-magic word. ]

You have not given me any reason to trust.

⟪ it's a blend of vodka, cranberry juice, and lychee liqueur – and thus comes out at a nice shade of red towards the bottom and increasingly lighter, almost a soft pink at the top. ⟫

'tis true. ⟪ she isn't one to shrug, but she does offer a warmer smile. ⟫ It was an off-colour jest, I must admit. If you'd still like to try it, you can rely on my unwillingness to lose my sole source of income.

⟪... melisandre, it might be a good idea to lean more heavily on an unwillingness to poison a random patron. ⟫

[sestra]

[ in complete honesty helena is very new to 90% of alcoholic content. she wants to try everything, so it's not like she's in the end going to refuse it, but she can still annoyingly drag it out. ]

[ she like the colors of this one a lot. ]

Money is very important thing in this Earth. [ she hums a considering noise. ] But if you are Displaced who works at Displaced bar, the chances of losing job seem small, yes? Perhaps you can be risky.

[ a beat. ] I do like the pink.

You can watch me make a new one, if you prefer.

⟪ she does not mention that she has enough experience in poisoning to be able to slip something in regardless – but that requires a cruel streak she does not possess, and this stranger has done no harm. ⟫

Mayhaps you have yet to meet Stephen Strange? I rather think he'd see me to justice, were I to harm a soul.

⟪ but she does take out the ingredients that would make a fresh batch of the drink, should the young woman take her offer ⟫

[sestra]

[ she encloses her hands around the original offering, not really believing it's poisoned and unable to say no to a free drink. (is it actually free?? she has no idea, but she hasn't been asked to pay for it yet, so that's her current train of logic.) ]

I am not knowing this man, except that he is owning bar. I suppose it would be bad business for customers to die from poison.

[ a beat. ] But I would still like to see how you make drink. I am curious.
