But it is close. Shades of it that he has missed keenly and wishes to share with someone he has come to see as a friend. A good, casual Sescio is hard to find this far south; with the Orlesians and their issues with elves, the Fereldans and their somewhat prudish nature. "There would also be a bath but the odds of the hotsprings being empty at this time of night, in this weather?"
Not odds he wishes to take. This is enough.
Normally when sharing a drink Zevran uses a basic wineskin and a tin cup. For this Brandy- a porcelain glass, hand painted, gilt in gold around the rim, so thin and fine that light shines through, clearly of Antivan make. Another slice of home that he fills with the warmed brandy before offering it to Taas. "I will spoil you as best I can with what I have."
