He leans forward to stretch for it, muscles quivering before he gets his hands properly on it. "It doesn't feel like you're our friend, sometimes. I know things are different, I know, but...Athos, make me understand?" It's a plea, if anything, and he drains his wine in a single gulp to steady himself for this.
