Dominic skimmed right over the question about where he was from. Tom had told him he shouldn't mention it but the other questions he could.
"I was born for military service in the same program that created Damien but I am older. My early training was in leadership tactics, lethal hand to hand combat, and espionage but by the time I was 14 they changed my focus. I worked in the genetics and human science laboratory and..." how should he describe this? "...when I left my position I was head researcher for the military genetics program focusing in human genetics."
That was as delicate a way to describe what he had done. He didn't get the comment about being interested in Aleksi and just assumed it meant interested in friendship or maybe interesting to Aleksi.
"We tried all the cocktails in the bar tonight." Dominic took the glass of wine, smelling it briefly before downing the whole glass like a shot. He didn't know any better.
"So, you are an army man? Someone who can take care of themselves in a fight and protect my brother. Also, you are a scientist too? I have heard about Damien and what he does but nothing in detail. You're one up from the usual drunk musicians my brother brings home."
Einar nodded and knew that Dominic was certainly more than the average drunk rock star his brother usually dated. The man was clever and strong.
"This doesn't surprise me at all. My brother doesn't know when to stop and usually only does so when he passes out from his drunken stupor."
The Finn's eyes widened at how quickly Dominic drank his wine. He downed it almost!
"No, no---you don't drink wine like that. You savour it's scent and taste like this."
Einar showing Dominic the social graces which accompanied wine drinking, swirling it around in his glass, inhaling the fruity aromas before taking a sip.

"You sip wine."

That was the truth even if it was odd fir this world.
"Why do you sip it? I thought the reason to drink alcohol was to get drunk." Dominic is slightly confused by this new way to drink.
