[ There's something about the way the woman on the other side of the bar changes, her expression shifting ever so slightly to something less certain, that has Rinoa's heart going out to her. Something about the bar is clearly familiar to her, and yet not at the same time... Somehow, she thinks, that must be worse than seeing nothing familiar at all.
She can only imagine how it would feel to see fragments of home here, knowing that she's no longer there.
And so her smile shifts from helpless to sympathetic, watching the other's motions in silence until the cup is placed in front of her. It looks like coffee, it smells like coffee...
A sip, and... it tastes kind of like coffee too, she supposes. And like the other liquids in this place, there's something about it that seems to ease the edge off the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. At this point, she's pretty sure the alcohol will be the same. And honestly, she's not much of a drinker anyway... but she sure feels like she could use that "extra kick". ]
Mm, I might take you up on that! [ A decisive nod, and she holds the cup out to the woman. And this time, instead of waiting in silence, she can't help but observe: ] This place, this building... you kinda know it, right?
