    Summary

    “Dear me, are you trying to bribe me with, what-” he smiled as he sneaked a peek past Qifrey’s shoulders, catching a glimpse of a dark reddish liquid in which freshly cut oranges were bathing.

    The previous banter died on his tongue and his eyes widened. That was not lemonade, and it sure was no soup.

    “-is it wine that you’re making?” he asked, genuinely surprised.

    “A merchant from the east was presenting this traditional recipe from his hometown. A sweet winter drink made to warm the hearts and redden your cheeks, he said,” The corner of Qifrey’s mouth tugged at the words. “I simply could not deny such heartfelt advice from a jolly man.”

    "Your compassion will be the end of our savings, whatever tempting recipe you’re making this time.”

    A glinting blue eye twinkled under the orange lamp of the kitchen, turning to him at last, knowing. “Is it tempting enough for the beast to come out of its burrow and drink with an old friend?”

    or: two old friends drinking warm wine by the fireplace.
