Summary: They may not know the significance of the date, but for some reason it feels like a day for drinking. And, sadly, for departures.

While it's true that the brothers weren't your conventional picture of sibling closeness, it felt like too long since they'd done more than exchange passing words at the Weapons Tree. The previous month had been so chaotic, so trying, that there had hardly been an opportunity otherwise. So, casually, they had decided to play a game of catch up over a drink or two. The bar had been down for a couple of days due to the management being at the mercy of the Tree and Lyle's place was literally crawling with vines, so Neil's home had seemed like the best option.
Carrying a few bottles of stout in a bag in one hand Lyle knocked on the door with with his free hand. As he waited for an answer, he idly wondered if Neil or his little robotic companion would make it to the door first.
