[ having spoken of the bar, they are there now! diluc is cleaning every last glass with almost obsessive focus. and when he's finished with those, he moves onto wiping down the counter and whatever bottles and various accoutrements are there.
he is very quiet, but everything he does not say is projected loudly in a stormcloud of emotions. ]
[ he will take a seat at the bar - he's chainsmoking and he certainly smells like he's been at this for a while - but every emotion is very tightly controlled. wrapped up tight and put away for later. or never. who's to say! ]
[ terrible. alcohol? or the joke? either way it does manage to alleviate the mood just a bit. he huffs softly. ]
Coming right up.
[ he gets mixing...! good thing he neatly arranged the bar's entire stock, earlier.
lucien will receive what is ostensibly one (x1) moscow mule: vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, mint garnish, and Fancy Secret Ingredient that makes it Really Fancy. it's definitely heavy on the vodka. ]
[ he watches the mixologist at work, honestly a little confused by this. ]
Luke spent a lot of his time messing around with this stuff. Is this a thing? Never been anywhere they spent more time than pouring it in a glass, and that was luxury service.
[ diluc hasn't actually poured any wine since he's arrived. he would feel weird serving something that wasn't his own stock. (but would entertain the request, if asked.)
but anyway, that is a joke. he clarifies, ]
Mixed drinks are quite popular at the tavern. We spend some time developing specialty beverages, for those who cannot partake in alcohol.

[ he'll pull the drink over, taking a sip. if he doesn't react outwardly that much, he does, in fact, like it quite a bit. he's got a sweet tooth. ]
Wouldn't do good business in the Run. Not many who don't partake there.

...Mondstadt couldn't be more different. Everyone does—some even consider it a religious practice, one could say.
[ but also they just really do enjoy their drink. ]

[ trying that word out. he speaks a bit of Zemnian, enough to get around the Empire, so the word seems natural enough. ]
Can't say it's religious where I'm from. Just a bunch of nasty drunks.
