"Oh, Lynch, I've seen quite a bit in your eyes—emotions and desire," Zilvra said. "Although you always manage to hide your desires, they reveal traces under this dark night sky.

"So what you mean is that I should down another bottle? Use the warmth of the liquid to stimulate my body and mind?" Lynch said with a smile. "I prefer gazing into your eyes while sober, rather than being unable to remember anything."
