I only mean to show appreciation for your help. [ John still has a photocopy of the Signatory paperwork in his private safe. Oh, sentimentality. Sometimes it is all you have. ]
[ John takes the first sip, just in case that arsenic jab was enough to make Dresden paranoid. No poison, just hops and honey and whatever else Donar puts in his personal store of alcohol. ] I was expecting sweeter... [ It's good though, but somewhat outside his palate, cultivated on cheap stolen beer of his childhood and the distastefully expensive wine from his fancy dress affairs of adulthood.
It's very good, actually, and John forces himself to take it slowly. He can tell this bottle will get him in trouble if he's not careful; Donar's idea of good-natured meddling, no doubt. Slow sips, and finally unfolds his legs to stretch them out under the table. His shoes come off easily with a push at the heels, and John meets Dresden's eyes to see if he'll say anything.
Mutual understand and corkscrew trust, John thinks idly. ]
