>QUILL WEAVE: look for clues!

[Huntress]

> Katia: decide you'd rather wash down the cake with more cake.

This.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

>Drink the water, but don't drink it too much. Drink it in a manner specific to the oblique aesthetic to which a royal dinner demands so as to fool the gods which govern you.

If you mean "to" instead of "from", then I second this.

Well with her type of luck when it comes to alcohol and the effect that it has on her, that might actually be a good idea here.

She could take on the lifestyle of the humble Koala! They never drink a drop of water, they get it all from eucalyptus leaves! Which, by the way, are poisonous.

[MagicHats]

CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!
It's just water, what harm will it do, and even if it's alchohol your not going to get drunk right away.

The phrase that goes best for this is "don't drink on an empty stomach", the last two times she drank alchohol she did not eat anything before, so her little khajiit stomach absorbed and digested it straight out.Food is like a sponge, she'll absorb and digest alcohol but at a much slower rate, therefore she'll not be too drunk if she gets drunk at all because she ate cake first and cake absorbs EVERYTHING.

Or better yet she could take on the lifestyle of the tiny kangaroo rat. They never take a drink of water in its lifetime as well. And get their needed water from eating roots and desert plants which is completely safe.

But seriously she could only drink water from a river or stream or get her water from eating fresh fruits like the watermelon for example which is mostly water to begin with. Since such choices are guaranteed to be alcohol free.

[Fakeimposter]

Maybe we should concentrate on giving katia a body image issue, and then convince her that the water will add pounds!

Brew factory: be upstream from where she is and be CONSTANTLY pouring alcoholic beverages that don't meet your standards into the river.

[The Dr.]

Alright, alright, now I'm gonna plead my case instead of standing by and letting this happen.

Katia, do you, perchance, remember this?

Quill-Weave says it's fine; no big loss on her part. She should probably lay off a bit regardless; she says you have no idea how much she drinks when you're not here.

There's a point in time where you've got to realize that you're not going to be able to stay dependent on Quill-Weave for the rest of your life. You came to Cyrodiil to remake your life and live as Katia Managan, not as her, and you've got to learn to be independent enough to realize that she's not a perfect, flawless soul that is ever-forgiving and ever-helpful. From her own description she's just as much of an alcoholic as you and while she can hold her liquor better that doesn't mean she isn't as desperate to get another couple drops. She may be trustworthy but that doesn't mean that she will never stretch the truth to get her way. You've got to realize, Katia, that people, no matter how trustworthy and how helpful, are still people. They inevitably have their flaws and they will show themselves. Remember Gharug? Yeah, he seemed like a nice guy you could count on but he ended up fucking you over. I'm not saying that Quill-Weave is evil or that she's going to steal everything you own, but just like I said, you need to learn to be independent and actually speak up for yourself, and you've been doing a great job of that so far. Joining the Mages' Guild, going down to the church, actively attempting to get a job whilst doing your best to stay away from alcohol, look how much you've improved since you got here three days ago and how much more independent you have become. The next step is being able to say that, no, you don't need her glass of water. The next step is having the independence and the confidence to stand up, grab a waiter, and ask for another glass of milk and just deal with it. The next step is ripping that waiter a new one if he brings you another dish. The next step is being Katia Fucking Managan. And that's what you came here to do, isn't it?

[Bropocalypse]

... You know, Katia, since your mouth is full of cake, you would probably leave a glass full of slobbery crumbs and chocolately lip marks around the rim. That would really gross. Bad form at such a formal dinner.

Katia: be hallucinating from the cake

[lexavian]

Wait, in that time didn't royalty do what they want? Possibly even, drugs, like opium?
>Katia: get baked

[CranialHeartache]

Think about this Katia. She said she wouldn't but that was then, this is now. Surely she's had to wet her nerves a little bit because of your antics and close calls. Remember how going on impulse got you in trouble the many other times in the past? This is your chance to show people you're not some disgusting freak that likes backwash and has impulse control problems, you are a Khajiit damnit, and you are going to be the best damn Khajiit you can be. If you do this then you will have to explain to everyone why you did it, because everyone will surely see. Do you not see their eyes on you? They have you in their periphery vision. They see what you're doing. They are going to judge you. You and Quill Weave are not yet intimate enough to be sharing stuff like saliva. Show some class.

[Sybbyl]

Katia, You said at the start, that you wanted a good reputation, do you really think taking somebody elses glass is going to get you there?

Or, alternatively--

Servant, approach, Katia, Ask for a GLASS of milk.

...If Katia gets drunk from drinking that, then Quill-Weave really has nobody to blame but herself for what happens next. And it's really not Katia's fault for being naive enough to believe that her new best friend would dare to keep a promise (Okay yes it is, given what shenanigans she's already been through, she should know better by now, but dammit it hurts to not be able to trust anyone!). We're basically out of plausible reasons not to do it, other than it's rude. It might be worth letting Katia make a mistake through no fault of her own just to teach QW a lesson.

And I still think that Katia's just gonna turn out to be lactose intolerant anyway.

Hmm... that said...

>Katia: Be honest with yourself. Indirect kisses. Is that the real reason you wanna drink from Quill-Weave's glass so bad? You're totally into her, aren't you? She's one of the first people to be so nice to you in a very long time; it's... kind of understandable, I guess... but I'm not sure she likes you that way.

...

...I thought, maybe reverse psychology would work? Except, that's not really reverse psychology, is it?
