Chapter 116

• Rhodes disappears from my side briefly to hunt down some drinks for us, despite the fact that he had already decided that the drinks at these sorts of events are always terrible.
• "They've watered it down completely, it's basically cheap boxed wine" Rhodes huffs as he reappears beside me in front of a large canvas coated in yellow with flecks of gold and green. I take the wine gratefully from him, if it's crap to him then it might be something my unqualified palate will enjoy. One sip later though, the opposite point has been proven.
• "That just tastes weird" I try and hide the grimace on my face, I widen my eyes as I see Rhodes take another sip. "Why are you still drinking it?" He stares down at the plastic wine glass for a second before he raises his shoulders in a shrug.
