So? You can stay over, if you want.

[thexfactor]

[ hesitates ]

All right.

[grandstanding]

You can take my bed; I'll use the nest.

[thexfactor]

Erik, no. That's silly.

[grandstanding]

I know it's silly, but I didn't decide to put a nest in there...

[thexfactor]

That's not what I meant. It's your bed.

[grandstanding]

Yes? So I can give it to you if I want.

[thexfactor]

Or we can share.

[grandstanding]

Oh... yes.

[thexfactor]

Mmm.

[grandstanding]

All right.

[thexfactor]

If you're okay with that.

[grandstanding]

I am.

[thexfactor]

Well . . . good.

[grandstanding]

Besides, we fell asleep on the same bed yesterday too.

[thexfactor]

Yes.

[grandstanding]

So... okay.

[thexfactor]

Mmm.

[grandstanding]

Let's finish up.

[thexfactor]

Okay. . .

[grandstanding]

[time to drain the rest of this glass]

[thexfactor]

[ sooo drunk ]

[grandstanding]

[so very drunk]

[thexfactor]

[ even talking is getting overrated ]

[grandstanding]

[talking's pretty hard.

he swallows the last of the whisky, feeling very off-kilter when he puts the glass down.]
