[ For reasons Kirei is very much aware of, his stores of alcohol last for much longer here in the City then they had during the War. This is the first time he has needed to refill them, and the gesture of doing so causes an uncomfortable association: does he really need to purchase it? The holy wines for the church are provided for him elsewhere; these are indulgent pleasures for his own tasting... but he hasn't really been drinking his wine since coming here. It isn't an activity that has half of the appeal when done without company. With that thought pressing in his mind, he turns the aisle, and goes very still.
Finding him here is almost comical.
Kirei does not believe it, at first, but there is no mistaking the King of Heroes when Kirei lays eyes on him. The pressure increases on his false-heart, and he can feel the Command Spells on his arm vividly.
Kirei could say a great deal, but instead: ]
...you'll be expected to pay.
[ Because he doubts the King of Heroes will think much of walking through the checkout like a commoner. ]
