Really, he should have said no to a drink. He could change his mind before they get anywhere-- but that wouldn't change what Kit has already seen of him here. Too late, perhaps, to pretend he's as bad as he wants people to think he is.
And he could definitely use a drink.
"It has a better flavor than most beer, too," Devin assures the dwarf, remaining at a distance in keeping with their uneasy truce. "And twice the kick. They have something that resembles it here."
