K'dar took a hesitant sniff at the drink. Alcohol still wasn't his favorite, after quite some time sampling what must have been everything under the sun at Yfris's insistence, he'd finally found one single beverage that he actually liked. Thankfully that had satisfied the lord and he hadn't had to go on any sort of binges since that fateful discovery. In the process though K'dar had at least gotten somewhat used to drinks. At least he hoped. There was still that burn and enough of the taste of alcohol that he couldn't stop some of the nose wrinkle, but thankfully the juice had it mellowed out enough that he could keep going without otherwise pulling a face or embarrass himself with a coughing or sputtering fit. "It's nice enough," he said cautiously. "I'm still not really much of a drinker, but it's nice enough and the company even better."
He even gave Lassalla a smile as he took another sip, swallowing it down without fuss before adding, "The juice is a very good touch. Thank you." She had decided to share some of her own rum after all, and from what he'd seen of Yfris's liquor cabinet and how much was spent supplying it he knew it wasn't always a trivial amount. His eyebrow rose and his smile broadened a little bit more at the mention she was still enjoying the recipe he'd taught her. "I'm glad that you like it. I haven't had as much time to get out lately since I've been helping with my brother's twins and also running errands for S'far regarding some Holders, so I haven't had much time to try very many new things. Let me think though."
He scratched at his chin, smile fading as he thought. "I don't know about sweet so much. Maybe... no," he frowned, brow furrowed. Zory might have known something, but he wasn't about to talk to him for a recipe. He tried to hide the frown on his face by taking another longer sip of his drink, shrugging once he was done. "Not sure about sweet. I can ask some friends. For spicy I could ask Zelana to teach me something and then bring it back. She's with my brother A'tay, cooks for him a lot and I am pretty sure a lot of that is spicy." But then he'd have to go to Ista, and then he might run into Zory...
Lassalla's question had him looking up at her in surprise. "Alright? Oh pretty much. Everything's..." he sighed, head dropping back so he could just stare at the sky. "Probably not." K'dar had no idea how much to even bring up or say. The last thing he needed was for a goldrider to think something was wrong with him, especially this one, and especially because of Tiberuth and how he currently seemed quite interested in her dragon. "It's not important though, you don't have to worry. It's really just very, very awkward." Hopefully she wouldn't worry about it to much. He tried to change the subject to something else, "So spicy food? Other than sprinkling pepper on things I've never tried to do anything extra. Have you tried it a lot? I know they make spiced rums."
