"Some ales are good." Mead however, had never really been up his ally. The taste was too.... Weird. Sharp yet sweet at the exact same time with a weird... Kick? Tang? He'd never fully been able to figure out how to word it right. To say that honey wine wasn't Darius' forte would be perhaps the understatement of the year. Darius smiled, giving a short cant of his head. "Yeah, wasn't always the smartest kid. What can I say?" However, with that, Darius felt this part of the conversation could easily be over. "Yeah?" Came his response to Audrey's dream. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Doesn't seem a bad dream." He certainly couldn't blame her for it.
"Four times removed, yea? Think I can follow." Finally, a sip of his wine would be taken. Was Audrey always this amusing? Certainly, he remembered her being entertaining but... Something about tonight seemed particularly spot on. At her compliment a half smile rose with a passive shrug. He barely remembered what he looked like, just that he had been tall, and gotten into a fair amount of fist fights around that age. It was only a few years after his father had died after all.
Taking a moment, he considered his question before a perfect one came to mind. "What's your day job anyway?" How had he never asked that before?
