[He walks silently, avoiding busy streets, very much set on his path to somewhere with a consistent pace. He doesn't look very happy...

But does he ever?]

[tyrannise]

Why the long face?

[redsuitsyou]

[He doesn't stop just yet, slowing down until he stands only a couple of meters away from Adrian.]

It is no different.

[tyrannise]

No, I guess not. [ Not that he really cares. ] Come on. [ A bit like one calls a dog. A dog he finds very valuable, but a hound nonetheless. ]

[Jack is traveling at night in a hurry to get away from the urban scenery. Is any of this new? No. But Cerbos is getting hungrier and hungrier, and he's trying to make sure Jack doesn't forget. He is trying to not shout at the voice in his head in the middle of the streets.]

[Another night, another bar. He's promising himself he'll stay sober this time -- he's been so good at keeping up with routine lately, and he wouldn't want to disappoint anyone so quickly, but he just claims he needs to go out late to relax. Just a couple of hours, then he'll head back home.]

[ And your brother is already there.

In fact, he is seated, with his arms folded on the bartop, face pressed down against them. He decided, why the heck not go and actually have a couple of drinks. He never really did, when he was with his wife. He knew that she liked going out, but after they got married, it was never about bars or anything, it was about dinner parties with other young couples like them. He is currently wondering if they stifled each other, or if they were stifled by the life they thought they should have lived. Either way, he probably won't actively remember these thoughts, because he has had one drink too many and is a bit sleepy.

Hence the whole. Face flop arm thing. ]

[Well, color him surprised. He takes a seat with an inquiring frown and parted lips, more surprised than exactly shocked.]

Giles?

[itdisappeared]

Yeeees? [ He sits up a little quickly, blearily peering around for the source of the voice - until he rather belatedly realises that it is his brother's. He blinks once, then twice, a look of mild embarrassment breaking through his hazy state. ] Lewis! Hi. [ Erm. ] What... what are you doing here?

[Boy, Jerry is not used to going out at night. Not when you've lived in a ghost town with the threat of occasional stray monsters or hybrids walking about. Sure the cities are supposed to be a safe haven from them, but all these people and their pasts and futures mashed up in one place just promise a massive headache if he chooses to stay for long.

That, and he's never been too familiar with the concept of nightlife. Shockingly.]

[ Nightlife! It isn't too difficult. Or so Teagan wouldn't really think, stepping out of a quiet, unassuming bar, taking a moment to breathe in the night air before continuing onto the street. She doesn't notice Jerry immediately, but when she does she stops, raising a hand in greeting, coupled with a warm smile. ]

[wouldntthatbe]

[What a pleasant surprise! But when isn't it? More often than not, because it's not that easy to surprise him. Jerry offers that typical squinty-ish smile, lowering his head as a way of greeting her, leaving words for when they're actually within hearing distance.

Which should be any second now.]

Good evening, Teagan.

[stillthegirl]

Evening. [ She turns towards him, a familiar sense of relaxation washing over her - and a little relief. In a place like this, and a world like theirs, not seeing someone for a while can sometimes be a little worrying. She can't help feeling that way, sometimes. ] It's been a while, Jerry. How are you?

[duplicar]

[I say, what a splendid night to walk about and be a douche to the occasional stranger.

Look at his face. You know you want to punch him.]
