Crossroads RP

Andreas shifted in place and his face wrinkled as he worked through his thoughts. "I'm not sure I agree with you," he finally decided. "About herbal or alchemical influences being any different than specific diets or... listening to music. But, especially for right now, given, uh, things, I think being very, very sober all the time would be smart."

Someone planning to take your advice and stop would... also say no but mean it. Err, would say 'yes I'll stop' I mean. Either way, same answer?"

Carver looks sad. "I had hoped you could tell me the truth..."
