The waiter returned very soon with the Absinthe on a lavishly designed glass, and Asuka is glad for that as she needs to get her mind to stop thinking as soon as possible before she starts screaming in the tavern. The lady performing on stage actually has a very beautiful voice, but in her state of mind, the sound of her singing the pitiful blues just fuels her anger and frustration.
She picks up the glass of Absinthe and brings it to her mouth, sipping a bit of the alcohol for a taste. If not for her pride, she would have spurted the drink out again, the bitterness is absolutely too much for her, but still realizing that there are people in the room, she gulps down the substance resulting in the bitterness lingering at the back of her mouth as well as on her throat. She coughs a little, covering her mouth with her hand to reduce the noise while staring at the glass with anger.
The fact that the drink is unpleasant fuels her need to finish it in vengeance. She glares at the drink, trying to even out her breathing as the scent of alcohol fills her nose. Picking up the glass and studying it, she takes a deep breath and takes another gulp of The Green Fairy while laughing inwardly at the idiocy of alcoholics who probably drink the stuff every single day. More than that, however, she is laughing at herself because she is now enough of an idiot to drink it as well.
She chuckles to herself as her head suddenly feels heavy and yet clear. Choking again at the acridness of the substance, she evens out her breathing first before downing the whole glass in two huge gulps, resulting in even more coughing. She is choking out laughter and it hurts her head but she does not care and she laughs even more because of it. Putting her hand over the part of her head that is bandaged, she suddenly feels angry since the drink has not yet succeeded in getting her mind from thinking about things that matter. She raises her hand to get the attention of a waitress standing not far off and gestures for more of the drink.
Asuka places her head on top of her folded arms and watches the attractive woman on the stage sing a rather mellow song (http://www.savefile.com/files/8005215). Her voice rings clear throughout the tavern and the fact that the accompaniment can barely be heard makes the beauty of her voice even more distinct. Asuka is not able to focus on the beauty, however, opting to focus on the words that the lady is singing instead:
nobody sees when you are lying in your bed, and i wanna crawl in with you, but i cry instead. i want your warmth but it will only leave me colder when it's over, so i can't tonight, baby... (Fiona Apple, "Love Ridden (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fionaapple/loveridden.html)")
The drink has caused her to feel more extreme emotions, and so she starts sobbing into her own arms. People are probably staring since the tavern is quite silent and a sober and well Asuka would nevercry in front of people. Asuka is far from well and not so sober, however, and so she weeps in heaving sobs while muttering insults to herself.
