"Hahahaha! Take another hit. Don't worry. It'll grow on you. You'll need its effects to understand what I'm about to say to you on a deeper level."
Eren said amusingly as he looked at the coughing royal. The latter looked angrily at the butcher. This time, the staring contest didn't last long because Rodrick couldn't keep his watery eyes open for long.
"I'm not saying anything until you take a few proper hits."
Eren said as he took a long drag from his own smoke. Rodrick felt angry that he was being looked down on. So he steeled his heart and his lungs before taking another drag.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Altashia saw that Rodrick wasn't feeling too good after the second hit as well. She felt another bout of pity towards him. So she tapped Eren's hand before commenting.
"Eren, he is not a drug addict like you. Why can't you say whatever you have to say to him without trying to make a smoker buddy out of him?"
