“well, someone seems like they’re having fun.”
he’s seen plenty of people that have begun to drink away their grief - the funeral ceremonies last ages, and their dearly departed fire lord wasn’t particularly well loved, but there’s a lot of other reasons to not be sober.
but there’s no point in pretending that zoya is drinking for anything other than fun - he hardly knows her but he’s seen her around enough over the last week to know that she’s not grieving in the slightest. if anything, she might be celebrating. god knows he would be too if he didn’t have to save face.
none of these courtyards are particularly private, but taash doesn’t hesitate to go stand before her, keeping only enough distance to be polite.
he’s more not shy when he eyes the jug of honey-wine beside her. it’s a sipping kind of drink, but he’s not here to judge.
“where’d you get that?”
