[ well... yeah. it was pretty hot, wasn't it, venus. he breathes in, and then out, and then in, and when he doesn't hack up a lung this time he finally raises the cigarette to his lips once more. the second attempt is honestly a bit pathetic - less of a drag and more of a teeny test puff - but he doesn't choke this time. he just screws up his face a bit and says: ]
Huh. [ a moment's thought, a moment's concentration. ] It's not... as bad as it could be?
