When he said his joke, Letha cracked another small smile and even managed a soft laugh. "I'd wager I knew more than you when first coming here," she challenged, though it was meant to be a friendly sort of challenge. It was true that she may have known more from reading, but he had spent far more time in the mortal world than she had—obviously. She also knew that even with her book smarts, there was still plenty left for her to learn.
She took the offered glass and took a slow sip, just enough so she could get a good taste of the liquid. Her eyebrows arched, and she could feel the drink warming her throat until it pooled delightfully in her stomach. Whatever small amount of comfort she felt in that first moment quickly disappeared as he chided her for speaking too freely. She dropped her gaze to the table and slid the glass back across to him before she looked up once more, catching the scratching he did against the table.
"Then I'll take a lesson from you, dear brother of mine." She wouldn't speak of the truth to anyone, and from this point on she would be more careful about what she said while in pubic. Whatever she might have felt about their conversation was buried deep inside her, though his final thought about the humans made her sit forward a bit more. "Do you truly believe that?" She tilted her head slightly, her curiosity blossoming once more. "Why would it be so unbelievable, considering the fact that even now there are many of them who believe they are the only ones here." She waved her hand about, gesturing to the others in the bar. Her words were vague enough that anyone who might be listening in on their conversation may very well believe they were talking about religion or the like, rather than the fact that humans were, indeed, not alone in their world and hadn't been for quite some time.
