His voice goes a little distant again. His eyes go guarded. It's not that it's his intention to hide this from Sonia - no. Not that, exactly. It's more that he doesn't want to give up anything if he doesn't have to. Old ImpSec habit. Well, old ImpSec training. So he wants her to state, first, what it is she's figured out. (If he were sober, he'd have done a better job of it - asked that lightly, instead of speaking with that distant archness - but he is very, very not-sober. So.)
"What I do is drink, primarily. So. I suppose they are important to getting decent wine. Or at least cheap wine."
