“Dooohohoho~ you’re in for a <span class="mu-s">TREAT</span>, Rook!” Giggles Volka as she snatches up her mug, sending sweet-smelling frothy liquid all over the table! “This is <span class="mu-b">RUUPPAA:</span> the best drink you’ll ever forget you had!”
Cautiously scooting your tankard over to your side of the table, you give the concoction a whiff as an effervescent mist tickles your nostrils with a fruity tingle!
What’s, uh… what’s it made of? Can she tell you that?
“Distilled Ruupp fruit!” The amazon replies, as if that explains everything. “They grow this stuff all over Zoral, but the real hotspot’s in the North! Something about the soil up there, I hear.” She concludes with a shrug.
The soil?
“Drink it while it’s warm, Rook!”
Wait a sec, you sputter, aren’t you gonna toast first? Volka stares at you as if you’d just grown antlers.
“... Rook, why the Hells would I want to toast my drink? Did you hit your head falling down that sinkhole earlier?”
Actually it was her shield, but you don’t tell her that. It’s a human thing, you begin, you basically say something you’re drinking to and then click glasses with your friends!
“Huh!” The Skog remarks, “So like… you’re dedicating the drink?”
Yea, you nod, exactly like that! It makes it more… memorable, kinda?
“OOH! Let’s <span class="mu-s">TOAST!</span>” She shouts, slamming her tankard against the table excitedly, “Let’s make the toast!”
“Wuz’ this aboud’ a doasd?” Asks the person sitting next to Volka!
“Aye, Salty Suutz be wantin’ ter’ toast too!” Adds the gruff guy sitting across from you!
“Don’t forget me, bright-eyes~” Adds a high, but sultry voice belonging to a stout stranger standing next to you!
“What are we toasting, Rook?” Volka remarks, prompting everyone to look your way!
Well…
