AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk

[mirrite]

[There's absolutely nothing celebratory about this drinking party. "Party" isn't even the right word, not really-- it's more like a "drink until you forget and/or black out" session for anyone who wants to participate, and even the bartender isn't immune from that much. Please forgive him if your drink isn't mixed quite right; he's trying his best under the circumstances.

There's food, too, if anyone wants to attempt to stave off a hangover tomorrow, or just get something in their stomach after the events of the day: stirfry from Makoto, vegetable soup from Nageki (mediocre, but hey, a genuine effort was made and that's what counts), and some tea for those who would rather abstain from the harder stuff. (Is that even many people tonight? Probably not.)

Come on by the bar if you're hungry or want a drink, or even if you just don't want to be alone right now. That much, at least, is something that can be guaranteed tonight.]

[ He only kept it together for so long because of his desire to find WWX's killer. But, he supposed the other was right, and then he heard him say those other words.

Huaisang opened his eyes, feeling and seeing the wetness of some unshed tears blur his vision. ]

I...Please allow me to stay like this a little while longer.

[ Then, he'll just close his eyes again. He knew it was probably a little selfish, but even besides the fact that admittedly he was ... happy it was McGillis saying this to him, he thought that maybe he'd hardly get the chance to be comforted like this again. ]

... of course. Take your time.

[ McGillis himself is not one who values physical touch all that much, but it is an easy request to fulfill for somebody else, easier than comforting words might be. He'll gladly keep Huaisang tucked in his arm for as long as is needed. Surely none of the others will leave the bar before midnight today and McGillis will be content simply sitting and watching, exhausted and somber. They can be exhausted and somber together. ]
