Istradez's own smile becomes a little more genuine to see Sulen's slight change in expression-- perhaps this won't be as difficult as he thought. He looks away from Sulen only briefly as he speaks to Ashari, naming a space whiskey that's on the more expensive side of the spectrum, but not absurdly so.

He hopes the topic isn't too fraught to discuss over drinks, because he's terribly curious, but he is prepared to change the subject if it is.
