The joke about just getting whatever the special is left Vincent's mind about half a century ago, so it takes him a moment of puzzled silence to realize why Irahl would even think that. But once it clicks, he also realizes he never exactly explained himself either.
While it's nice that talking to Irahl feels effortless, it's just as much of a relief to know they can leave long pauses and thoughtful silences between their words without ruining the conversation. Which is good, because the pauses are only going to get longer the more he drinks.
"Oh, no, this ain't a special. I asked 'em to make somethin' spicy 'cause I know you liked that... That one back in the Boozehole. Y'know. With the gold."
