        ❝ ME, sir? I’m just… carrying around non-alcoholic drinks. Although I do have mild apple and elderflower cider ━ but I suppose that doesn’t truly count. & what is it you are doing at a ‘dull’ party like this? Are you one of Mr. Hermes’ friends? ❞

                   “Friends? Although I’m
                    slightly offended — Yes.
                    You could definitely say
                    that. And my ‘ attendance ‘
                    was more obligatory than
                    anything else. I would never
                    willingly attend a party that
                    that doesn’t have WINE.”
