Watching Theo as closely as she was, Juniper picked up the way his demeanor softened. Catching a what seemed to be rare glimpse of the Inquisitor relaxing into taking a drink he clearly enjoyed was fascinating to the girl, but she decided not to comment on that. She didn't want to draw attention to it, in case he'd stop. Instead, she adjusted her grip on the glass, picking up on less neurotic way he held it.
His straightforward comment about the drink being something you sipped helped immensely, and Juniper laughed, a little embarrassed. It was like he'd read her mind. “Glad you said that,” she muttered, genuinely taking note as she finally looked away from the man and down at the glass. She took a conscious sniff of it again, and had to turn her sensitive nose away from the full force of the fumes. Shaking her head and recovering quickly, she held her breath and tipped it back just enough to let the liquid touch her top lip and get a bit into her mouth.
As might be expected, her expression pinched and and puckered as the liquid seemed to burn in her mouth and twist up into her nostrils. Swallowing quickly, she wheezed, “Oh, that's- Wow, okay.” Eyes tearing up, she looked up at Theo with an incredulous expression that said 'and you sip this?'
