[ The pouring admits just as much as words would have, anyway. And Shinpachi knows - has known for a long time - that Saitou isn't a man of many words to begin with. It makes it a little more painfully obvious that his usual loud friends (Sano, Heisuke) are no longer here.

When the cup is full, he moves it back to his lips and takes a gulp big enough to practically empty it again in one go. Once the liquor has disappeared down his throat, he lets out a loud sigh. ]
