"No, no, drinks are fine." He's got to get over this aversion somehow, and he's not going to do it by avoiding it. Champagne is... fine? He doesn't have too much experience with it. "I should have dressed up, but I don't have much in the way of nice clothing outside of my equipment. It could be worse - I could have worn my paladin armor."

"But no, I don't do this all that often at home. I've little reason to gamble - I'm quite well off by my world's standards in terms of finances. It wasn't always that way, but... it makes gambling a bit less fun. I play cards sometimes, but mostly when I'm in bars I'm listening to chatter or wincing at minstrels singing of my deeds."
