Mateo
"You know, somehow I thought that would be your answer," Mateo says, a dimpled smile spreading across his lips as he surrenders the snapdragon for Vesper's perusal and shifts his boot against the demi-god's beneath the table, setting the chain of coins looped about it to jingling. "It is a very versatile little drug," he assures him, slipping his fingers between Vesper's almost as if they are holding hands across the table, but of course from their individual vantage point, they'll both be able to see Mateo palm one of the little jewels of snapdragon.
"For a first timer, we can just slip one under the tongue, I think. I do not want you running out of steam too soon." Winking and sitting back with his drink again, Mateo takes a measured sip with the same hand holding the snapdragon, and with an all too practiced motion, he slips the drug into his mouth as he sets the glass back down. Whilst the effects are not as whipcrack immediate as if they had opted for other methods of ingestion, already the botanist's thoughts are starting to spark and jump with the first flares of a mounting euphoria, an anticipation for the night ahead and all it might bring with it.

if anything could fall at all, it's the world that falls away from me
