Once Deimos had figured out his shoes, and was settled more on the bed, Chuy pulled a chair up alongside the bed and sat in it. He was intending on being here for a while, clearly.
The Chief frowned at the ember that started in the Sword's palm. Normally, he'd be enthralled by magic; but he had also seen Deimos unleashing his magic in a delusional tirade against hallucinogenic enemies, and had the scorched pants and shirt in his wardrobe to prove it. "Your fire is glorious," warm tones observed, "but we have our own, which is sufficient for now."
He reached for the glass, and presented it to the man. "It's not water," the Chief reassured, assuming he'd get a similar reaction as he had with Loren, and doing his best to pre-empt it. "It's mostly apple," he explained, making a show of smelling it, and presenting it to the Sword to smell for himself. "Will you try it?"
