It's not as if Elidibus hadn't been aware of the effects of alcohol. And his host would certainly have had some tolerance and he would have been certain to restore the body to its peak performance. But while he likely had some food, he didn't really get its purpose in curtailing the speed at which inebriation would happen. Or its after-effects.
And he was maintaining a moderate pace. It's just that pace car was an Irishman.
Elidibus clearly doesn't want to clarify further. Especially as Lahabrea's inquiry is very broad. He duly considers asking for more specificity to muster up the necessary choice on what to say. And then the Emissary concludes that it was probably not very wise to test Lahabrea's patience on the full moon. He does sigh a bit.
"I was speaking to a Mirrorbound I arranged a meeting with. He professed a willingness to speak on the kidnapping of Mirrorbound which happened last year-- though not related to the current kidnappings performed by the Evergreen Circle. As he proclaimed he would require a round of ale to speak of matters I wished to discern, it seemed fitting that I too indulge."
Reasonable so far.
"While I had taken some time to study how one conducts themselves in such environs, it seems I misunderstood some of the intricacies which mortals use." Elidibus doesn't seem embarrassed anymore, but probably because being precise is... familiar. Though he pauses and frowns in thought to recollect more of the specifics. "Did you know their habit of eating copious amounts of bite-sized, overly salted food was in fact to negate some of the worst symptoms of inebriation? I had thought it some manner of a ploy on the part of the establishment's owners to encourage patrons to buy more drinks."
Well, he's correct on that count. He just missed the first bit.
Elidibus seems intrigued by it. Not that one would be able to see it in his expression, but there is something akin to interest which briefly sparks across the Bond.
