Her tongue snakes out against her lips as she pours the honey colored liquor over her glasses, watching the neat row fill near to overflow as she moves. Her hold is steady, though her body tells a different story, feet tapping against the floor, hips swaying to the tune she hummed. Such a joyous mood might convince the casual onlooker she was drinking something soft and sweet, something tolerable.

If one was bereft of smell, they might well continue to believe that. Alas, her drinks were capable of stripping paint from the walls. Somewhere, one of her courtiers implored their queen -- You don’t have to do this.

Smiling up at her king, she raised the first glass.

“Yes I do.”

Her speed was practically breakneck as she moved down the line, knocking back all five shots without complaint. Slamming down the last of these, throat afire from the liquid that seemed to stick to her, she wiggled her fingers.

“Double or nothing. I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself--”

“Now, you mustn’t tell Victor that I said this, but I think the finest liquors come from over the border. The people take such pride in their work in Latveria, but my heart belongs to this one family in Hungary who have worked for generations on their brand -- Here, try some.”

The cup is held so listlessly in her grasp that a woman of lesser grace might see it slipping through her fingers. As it is, Hel holds firm, grinning at Wanda with lips red as the witch’s name.

“I am not usually one for fruity liquors, but this Pálinka is something else. Here--” Pressing her offering into Wanda’s hands, she sought out the bottle and reclaimed her own glass, and a third that had been set aside for later company. Filling both to the brim, Hel looked back to Wanda, lifting both glasses at once.

“To your health!”

Then, one after the other, she consumed both drinks. Afterwards, she was still quite in control of herself. The night was still young. She might yet be the only one to walk away from this evening with her faculties intact.
