But anyway - into the kitchen they go. Sadly, she's no five-star chef like Sanji is, but Reyna can make a mean cup of hot cocoa when she puts her mind to it, and she gets right to work.]
Do you prefer for your drinks to be more sweet or more bitter?
[One dark hot chocolate, coming right up...! It's not too long at all before she's setting a goblet in front of him and keeping one for herself. ...her goblet has more sugar in it.]
Here. ...it doesn't fix everything, but... in my experience, this stuff helps make difficult things a little easier.
[She's not really sure if it's a successful attempt, but... she'll try.]
I'm not going to say something like "tell me everything that's bothering you"... that's silly, we barely know each other. But just leaving you to suffer didn't seem right, either.
Jae-ha is conveniently sipping on his drink, his expression still contemplative.]
... If anyone asks, it's pointless to pretend as though this weekend hasn't been trying.
But if they don't ask, I would rather move on. As sweet as it is to hear your concern - it's nothing worth wallowing it, when we've hit the point of no return.
I'll keep that in mind - but I do insist that you have larger things to worry about than me. I won't suddenly collapse on you any time soon, at the very least.
[Reyna nods. She'll probably worry quietly, regardless - despite her priority being to get two specific people out of this alive, that doesn't mean she wants to see anyone else perish in this game.
But if Jae-ha doesn't want her to make a big deal of it, she won't.]

Even poison!]
Something a bit more bitter, if you don't mind.

Jae-ha still laughs faintly at that.]
Ah - it's an attempt to make me feel better? That's kind of you.

Did I look like I was suffering?
[It's curiosity, but also - for his own knowledge. If he was giving people a reason to worry, he'd like to avoid it.]

Not especially. You're a good actor. But - after what happened, it would be almost strange if you weren't.

[Reyna spreads her hands out, palms up, and shrugs. She won't press the matter, except to say -]
If that changes... if you do end up feeling like you want to talk about it, then please feel free to talk to me, even though I won't ask again.
For now - let's just enjoy our drinks, shall we?

[But - ]
The drink is delicious. Thank you.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear you like it.
