(There's an argument there that he's not working, he was just showing him the bottle first and Crossroads was at the red-light district, it wasn't the classiest place on Earth, but before he could formulate any of these sentences, Goro goes ahead and--
Is it that bad? Can't be as bad as Takemi's medicine, which had such a strong, foul taste that his body shot down. Or else, how would people drink it so casually?
Ren watches Goro, clear worry in his goggled eyes as he watches Akechi's reaction to the gulp he took. In any other situation, he'd be providing aid immediately, but... Seen that this did spark their competitiveness and none of them would be happy to have the other feel like they've won, Ren decides to just ask.)
Are you ok?
(And of course, it was only fair that Ren took the bottle as well, it was not like he was about to just allow Akechi to suffer alone, raising it to his lips and... It tastes awful, his nose scrunching immediately before he swallowed. His throat feels like it's on fire as the liquid goes down, but surprisingly, his reaction is less panicked than Akechi's.
At least it didn't taste and smell so horrid that he passed out! Thanks, Takemi.)

Who drinks this... It's terrible...
