Is it still déjà vu if it happened once again right away and you know it's happening to you...?

The Great Nothingness would not contribute again to the fate of the adventurer, although it seems a little more relatable to the situation at hand. The narrator snaps out of the involuntary narration to see the actual person caught in the eye of the storm deciding to answer the call and embrace the power that's in front of them. As soon as the thought of acceptance crosses their mind, the coin starts to tilt forward and roll forward right off of the mug and straight towards the surprised adventurer. Feeling the need to dodge the coin, it catches them by surprise when they do just that, instinctively turning their head to the side just far enough for it to miss them altogether. They shakes their hands and body a little, certainly glad to be able to move at all yet again, and then turn to the coin that has fallen onto the ground. It would not be honorable for them to go back on their words, so they decide to pick it up, not after a gulp of anxiousness without any of the aftertaste of the drink earlier. Just like before, as soon as the thumb and the index finger touches the object, they could feel a pull that's not dissimilar to the earlier one albeit in the opposite way, with the coin itself feels like it's being pulled into their body, slowly but surely dematerializing into thin air, leaving behind just the mirage of the gold colour in the space where it used to be. As fast as they could blink their eyes, they are back in front of the table in the clearing, or maybe they were always there to begin with, only journeying through the mind and not the body. The adventurer feels like they could still feel the sensation of the coin when they make that pinching motion again, and it would go away as soon as the fingers part from each other. A deep exhalation of relief follows as they try to come to grips to what just happened to them following the decision to grab the mug. Speaking of which, the aforementioned vessel is still in their left hand after they switch hand to grab the coin with the right. It's a custom in their culture to receive anything with the right hand, the narrator obliges to fill in. Okay, this is a simple question: should you keep the mug or just put it back where it came from? You'll never know when it would come in handy, right? In emergency, you could throw it at a horse, or something.

Keep it or leave it? Decisions, decisions... simples ones, really, considering. In the end, they decided to...?
