A Fresh Start

The look of utter shock and horror on Ember's face at the suggestion that they take a sip of wine despite the explicit instructions Ember had been given not to was absolutely priceless and worth suggesting such a thing just for that. It made her grin and chuckle to herself as she watched Ember have a moment of battling with her own conscience. "I mean you don't have to of course. If the princess is too afraid of getting in trouble..." she teased with a smirk, tipping the bottle in her paws back and forth and feeling the wine inside of it swish from side to side while she waited for Ember to decide if she was going to take the risk or not. She fully expected Ember to play the part of the good girl princess and refuse, but to her delight Ember finally looked at her with a grin and hurried over to where she was standing with an agreement to just a sip. "Atta girl, princess!" she replied with a wide grin, allowing Ember to take the bottle from her to pull out the cork with her claws.

Ember took a sniff and didn't seem all that thrilled with the smell so when she handed it back to her to take the first sip she had to take a whiff as well purely out of curiosity. She could see why Ember wrinkled her nose at that slightly acidic smell of alcohol and it almost made her do the same thing, but she fought the urge. Even though this was just as new and unknown to her she wanted to pretend like she was cool and had wine all the time even though she was just barely old enough to be allowed herself. She lifted the bottle to her lips and tipped it back till the kind of sweet, kind of bitter, berry forward drink filled her mouth as she took a long sip from the bottle. Considering the fact that she really had no idea what kind of flavor to expect it did kind of catch her off guard, but after a couple moments adjusting to the taste of it she actually quite liked it! "It tastes better than it smells," she promised with a grin as she passed the bottle back to Ember.
