Zorish raises his own glass about half an inch before pressing it to Tamora's lips. He takes a hesitant sip, letting the red liquor slide down his host's throat. His eyes widen slightly at the unfamiliar burning sensation; it is much stronger than the scotch that he had earlier. He takes a larger gulp and replaces the glass to the counter.
"That is quite potent," he gasps. "I don't think I have ever had it while in a human host."
<<That was disgusting!>> Tamora complains. <<Why are you drinking again? Zorish, I need rest, not booze.>>
<<Hush, Tamora,>> Zorish murmurs. <<This Yeerk is so guarded she may as well be Alcatraz. If she's going to give me an opening, it will only be if she is good and intoxicated.>>
<<That doesn't mean you need to get drunk. How do you plan on shooting anything if you can't see straight?>> Tamora asks, flinching mentally at the idea of shooting anyone at all. <<Besides, that Yeerk said it herself, her host is an innocent. You shouldn't kill her. We need to go home.>>
<<Soon enough,>> Zorish promises absentmindedly, taking another gulp of redin. He eyes Myitt curiously. "Who did you think I was, when you first arrived?" he asks.
