[He doesn't quite grin, but it is the most amused he's looked in days.] Delightfully descriptive. I'd probably have just called it weird and blue.

[He takes another drink and laughs a little, dryly, 'to hell with it' calling up images of his own 'whatever the hell we want' days.] It's not too late to start now, right? There's plenty more after we finish these. Whatever the hell we want.
[As if to demonstrate, he drains another significant chunk of the blue drink.]
