[Although Wanda may have been overly cautious with her powers earlier, she isn't a timid person. No one in this tavern frightens her, and whatever complicated mess of emotions she feels about Loki, fear or revulsion aren't among them. Otherwise she would very much mind being pressed this close to him by necessity.
Instead, she's finding she misses his true face and voice.]
He has...a way with people. [Parties on Earth seem to get rowdier when he's around, probably thanks in no small part to the poor brave idiots who think they can keep up with his drinking.
So of course Wanda doesn't reach for the mead - she'll barely touch alcohol on Earth, and this stuff must be much stronger. It might be fine, or at least she thinks the scarlet wouldn't react...but who's to say she'd be able to maintain any sort of barrier between her mind and everyone else's?
But the food is fine and she's grateful for a snack. Wanda cuts a slice of bread and cheese before indicating the meat with the knife.]
Do I want to know what that was?
[Look, she's been served some weird stuff in her time here, complete with bizarre hunting stories that weren't half as entertaining as they were probably meant to be.]
