Joakim approached the couple, and he held the wine softly by the neck with one hand under the body and presented the label to Alex to inspect before explaining it and its origin.
Alex and Maria didn't care if this wine was from some famous brand or was too aged because they wouldn't know the brand anyway.
The waiter could see that the couple was not knowledgeable about the wine they offered; he found this too regretful. Still, upon a closer look at Alex and Maria, Joakim immediately understood why they wouldn't know, it was because they are not from here, not from this floor, not from this tower, and not a native of Exodus, so it was normal for them to not unknown as they spent their time climbing.
Shaking his head, the waiter poured Alex's wine glass till the widest part; Alex then told the waiter his order for that evening, with Maria following suit. Her meal was salad while Alex asked for a ravioli. Joakim disappeared as soon as he registered their orders.
