064: The Next Time You Say Forever I Will Punch You in Your Face

[contract_star]

[Well, Hei is back for the first time since Misaki disappeared and since he tried to break the Plane. He looks even worse now than he did then--he's still pale from the after-effects of blood loss, he has lost weight from not eating properly, and he looks downright exhausted.]

[He stands there a little awkwardly, his gaze empty, before finally he just walks into the Astral Bar, grabs a bottle from behind the counter and takes a seat. He looks generally like he wants to be left alone, but feel free to come bother him. He is fully expecting some kind of backlash for what he did.]

Food is not merely for looking at, you know.

[contract_star]

Not hungry. [Yes, Mu, it's a sign of the apocalypse.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I find that hard to believe.

[contract_star]

[He shrugs and pouts himself a glass of whatever it is.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Alcohol ranks among the worst things you can put into yourself at the moment...

But I am not your mother, so I will leave it at "don't say I didn't warn you."

[contract_star]

It helps. [Drinks half the glass.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Not in the morning.

[contract_star]

Don't care.

[lamb_of_gold]

Just because you don't, doesn't mean that there aren't others who do.

[contract_star]

I'll sleep here so you won't have to worry.

[lamb_of_gold]

That may, in fact, make me worry more.

[contract_star]

Then you worry too much. [Finishes the drink and pours another.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I know I do.

[contract_star]

[He just sips his drink in depressed silence.]
