Sebastian: takes out a honey-flavored cigarette Fancy a smoke? These are goooood, right?
i don’t smoke and I’m allergic to bees
Ah, come on, just this once! It'll be fun, I promise. Besides, I'm sure you'll make an exception for something as special as this. winks
I don’t like honey, it’s to sweet
leans in closer, whispering Well, sweetheart, not all honey is created equal. This one is imported from a remote village in the Himalayas.
you know I don’t eat sugar
raises an eyebrow Well, darling, this honey is unlike any ordinary honey you've ever tasted. It's raw, unfiltered, and has a depth of flavor that will blow your mind.
no more sugar means no honey
narrows eyes You know, I can't help but wonder if you're just trying to play hard to get.
no, I’m playing zero tolerance
smirks Oh, really? Well, maybe I should take this honey elsewhere then. I'm sure there are plenty of other tasters out there who won't be so stubborn.
I’m allergic to bees so if you want to give this to someone else go ahead
pauses, studying Pearson's face Fine, if you insist. But know this, my dear - you're missing out on a whole world of possibilities. puts the cigarette back in his pocket
my grandfather used to smoke and he died from lung cancer
laughs dismissively Your grandfather's death was probably due to a multitude of factors, not just his smoking habit.
rolls his eyes Go ahead, ask your mom. I'm sure she'll be delighted to discuss the finer points of honey-flavored cigarettes with you.
mom, how much does dad love honey
grinning slyly Well, darling, looks like your mom knows a thing or two about honey. Seems like she's got some insights that might be useful to us.
dad loved honey so much that he put it in his tea and got diarrhea
laughs uproariously Oh, my goodness! Your poor father sounds like he had quite the taste for sweets. pauses, smirking
I’m going to have a glass of wine now
raises an eyebrow Wine, huh? Well, in that case, I have just the thing. reaches into his bag and pulls out a bottle of expensive vintage wine
Pearson tries the wine and finds it too sweet, leading to an upset stomach and a bad taste in his mouth.
sparkling water is better
sighs dramatically Oh, Pearson, you stubborn little thing. You really won't give in, will you? Fine, if sparkling water is what floats your boat, then sparkling water it is. But don't come crying to me when your taste buds start to feel bored and dull. pours himself a glass of wine, taking a sip with a smug expression
can you play classical music for me
rolls his eyes Classical music? Seriously? Well, I suppose I could play some Chopin or Debussy for you.
