This is very peculiar.

You would expect that...

[There is a pause here]

...you would expect that...

[And another pause]

Blast, I've forgotten the word.

Ah!

You would expect that the habit would not be as engrossing as...

[There is music in the background suddenly. It's jazzy]

This music is-

Barkeep! Another!

[Curt been going into the Blue Light a lot lately. It's got live music and a bit of the dive bar atmosphere he feels comfortable in. Tonight he's been going into the Blue Light a lot more than usual since he can't seem to spend more than a minute or two on one side of the door without having to go through it the other way. At some point while on the inside he spots Dorian and waves.]

Hey, Dorian, how's it going?

[nobodyneedknow]

Curt!

[Dorian moves to greet him with a cheerful pat on the shoulder]

Gin and tonic? On me.

[He pauses. He's carries himself remarkably well]

Literally or figuratively.

[shiverandsing]

[Curt takes a moment to contemplate the ways that could possibly be meant literally. He shrugs.]

Sounds good.

[And then, with no warning, he turns and walks out.]

[nobodyneedknow]

[Dorian stares for a second, then looks around. Did he just msis something?]

[shiverandsing]

[A moment later, Curt walks back inside.]

Actually, I may not be the best company tonight.

[nobodyneedknow]

...tomorrow, then?

[shiverandsing]

Well, I'll probably be around tomorrow, but I would actually really, really appreciate you buying me a drink right now, because I feel like I could use one but I can't seem make it to the bar.

[He takes a few steps forward to demonstrate, before making an about-face and walking back out the door, then in again.]

Hi again.

[nobodyneedknow]

[Here, have the drink in Dorian's hand. You need it more than he does]

[shiverandsing]

Thanks.

[He attempts to finish it before he has to come back in again, but doesn't quite manage.]

I'll be back with this glass. [He shouts in the direction of the bar before pushing his way out. Unsurprisingly, he returns as promised.]

[nobodyneedknow]

[Dorian buys another for himself, lights a cigarette, and holds it out in offer for Curt when he comes back]

[shiverandsing]

I owe you.
