"Fine, not fine, I'm saying he wouldn't notice and he deserves it."

"I have kind of stolen his house here. I wouldn't want to strain his hospitality."

Teasing: "come on. One drink."

"Okay. One."

He heads down to where he guesses the wine cellar is. "I don't know. A half-empty bottle might be suspicious. We might have to finish the whole thing."

"If you want to hide the evidence, you can drink it." Drinking half a bottle of wine would be a Bad Idea.

"But then you'll take advantage of me in my weakened state."

"Don't you trust me? I'm very Lawful Evil."

"I didn't say I was against you taking advantage."

"Would that even be taking advantage then."

...Bun is clearly very confused about how sex works. Why is whether he's against it relevant to anything.

Instead of coming up with some response, Tanidio arrives at the cellar and begins to look through the wines. "Hm, a 4679... that was a good year."

"--I'm going to have to get used to the years, too, aren't I?"

He takes some of the Duke's finest glassware off the shelf and pours a glass of the wine for himself and Bun. "Seems like one of the easier things to get used to. Not like the existence of ravenpeople."

"Years are just maths. Raven people are all new biology."

He sips his wine. "See? Good. --I bet ravenpeople are the same biology, they're not from the First World."

"First world?"

What is Cheliax wine like? One way to find out.

It tastes basically like wine!

"Where gnomes are from. They say it was the gods' first draft of the world. An infinite plane of constantly changing wilderness, where time and distance are not reliable and you can overturn the laws of physics with a strong will."

"Of course it's where gnomes are from."

"It sounds a lot like the Chaotic afterlives to me."

"What are the different afterlives like?"

Sip. "Well, one of them is Nirvana."

Is Bun drinking his wine or does Tanidio need to pressure him into it.

"I'm assuming it's different from the one I'm thinking of."

He's drinking it! He's drinking it slowly, but he's definitely drinking it.

"Really? I assumed it was the same. --I guess you're not very Neutral Good."

"It's not a place, it's a state of being? Yours sound like a place."

"It's the Neutral Good afterlife. They petition for every soul because they think everyone can be Neutral Good if they try hard enough. It turns people into animals until they learn to accept their proper place in the world."
