It's habit from long years of being up at dawn in the army. I doubt anyone envies me that.

[ At least he got used to it quick, but it took years before he let go of his stubbornness and went to bed early instead of staying up late. ]

[deaddrop]

Some of them might sympathize. There's more than a few soldiers around here.

[drawsblood]

And they probably don't need coffee either.

[ Or, at least, that's the assumption he's making. ]

If we ever go anywhere with mead, we can share a bottle.

[deaddrop]

I'd welcome that. Does it ever come warm, at least?

[drawsblood]

It does in the winter when we prefer warm drinks. I suppose it depends on where we are and how they do things, but it would be interesting to see nonetheless. Especially with bees having access to far different flowers than they do in my homeland.

[deaddrop]

Do the different flowers make a difference? Get some lavender honey or something?

[Actual curiosity.]

[drawsblood]

Yes, they change the flavor a little. Some taste tangier, sharper, sweeter. It all depends. And that in turn affects the mead.

[ He gives a little hum. ]

I've been without mead for too long. Here's hoping we luck out.

[deaddrop]

Here's hoping. Don't think I won't hold you to sharing that bottle, either.

[drawsblood]

[ He exhales a laugh. ]

I know. You have a good memory. You'll probably be the one reminding me instead of me surprising you.

[deaddrop]

Should I apologize? I admit, I'm hard to surprise.

[drawsblood]

No need. It's probably in my best interest not to attempt it. Surprising you might lead me to getting kicked in the throat.

[deaddrop]

Your throat would be very high to have to reach.

[Teasing, but there's a smile in her voice.]

[drawsblood]

True. Maybe the chest, then.

[ He gives a short chuckle. ]

Well, I should be going. It was good talking with you.

[deaddrop]

Always. See you around, Joric.
