[SE] with a new tattoo

CHULANE

I nodded along in understanding; though I had never had a tattoo myself, I could imagine the frustration I would feel had I spent hours getting poked by a sharp needles only to mess it up in a moment of carelessness. It was oddly curious to wonder whether she had any more tattoos that I hadn't seen, but I did not pry further at this time.

I listen keenly as she begins to explain bits and pieces of the brewing process, having little experience in it myself, though the science side of it was familiar enough to me. Accepting the cup she offers with a grin, I reassure her, "Oh no, please continue. You'll find me a very willing student." Raising the glass to my nose, I try to smell it by swishing it around a little bit, before taking a sip.

It was a curious mixture of very dry, with a sweet aftertaste chasing the flavours down my throat. "Drier than I usually prefer," I admitted, though I was quick to amend my words, "but with a sweet aftertaste that is very pleasant. Do you like it?" Lifting the cup back to my lips, I gladly swallow the remains in my next gulp, swishing the liquid around on my tongue before letting the sweet chaser kick in like a dessert after dinner.
