[he keeps it light, but steady.]

[thexfactor]

[ curling his arms around Erik's neck ]

[grandstanding]

[mmm. pulls apart again.]

Do you feel like being sober tonight?

[thexfactor]

Not particularly, no.

[grandstanding]

Good.

[pulls a bottle of whisky out of the bag, and then two glasses.]

[thexfactor]

You were certainly prepared.

[grandstanding]

I had to occupy myself with something. And I didn't feel like cooking.

[thexfactor]

Fair enough.

[grandstanding]

[because drinking on an empty stomach is a great idea. filling both glasses.]

[thexfactor]

[ one of our best ]

Thank you.

[grandstanding]

[the first of what looks like many.]

No problem.

[not even gonna bother with sipping, drinking this right away.]

[thexfactor]

[ cocking an eyebrow at that, but taking a sip thank you ]

[grandstanding]

[so judgey. he stops after a couple of mouthfuls, coughing.]

I forgot how strong this is.

[thexfactor]

I noticed.

[grandstanding]

No need to be smug about it.

[thexfactor]

Why not?

[grandstanding]

It might hurt my feelings.

[thexfactor]

Oh dear. We can't have that.

[grandstanding]

There aren't many of them to hurt, I'd run out quickly.

[thexfactor]

I'm sure there are more than you think.

[grandstanding]

Just multiple types of anger, really.

[thexfactor]

I don't believe that.

[grandstanding]

No?

[thexfactor]

No.
