Bret did, but he didn't really think Gob really wanted to. He wasn't about to force physical contact on another man. That sounded less gay before I put words to it...
Man did he wish this was alcohol. Bret sighed and pushed the almost empty glass away from him, turning to face Gob.
"I'll be fine. Kind of have to be, I guess," he said, shrugging. He looked seriously at Gob. "You didn't know people left?"
Gob shrugged too, lifting his glass. "Read somethin' about it." More like skimmed. Gob often flipped through the journal when he was bored to see if there was anything interesting going on, but if nothing caught his eye...
He looked sideways at Bret, who did not look at all fine. He looked absolutely depressed. Maybe it had something to do with the girl who'd died. Which, again, sucked, but Gob wasn't gonna cry about it. Why was Bret so upset?
"So this girl," he guessed, looking down into his glass again, contemplating another sip. "Were you bangin' her?"
Man, there was a whole lot of nothing going on at the Stoat tonight. Well, nothing interesting really. Just a lot of the same girls he'd already had sex with, and as such, had no need to talk to.
But hey, there was Gob at the bar talking to Bret. Yeah, the guy had been kind of a freeloader lately, but it was almost worth it to Barney to have a like-minded dude around. Besides, between the tavern, the brewery and his few other endeavors, it wasn't like he was hurting for cash.
He walked up to the bar, and if he was aware that he was interrupting an awkward moment, he didn't show it. "Hey, guys," he greeted. "What is up?"
"Hey-hey!" Gob held out his free hand for a fist-bump. "Nothing much, man. Just came off an afternoon of doin' my thing in the streets. Still, I ain't exactly rollin' in dough over here." He shook his drink back and forth with a grin in Barney's direction. "Next one's on you, right?" Without waiting for an answer, he took a gulp of whiskey. He still didn't love this stuff, but it was better than nothing.

He realized he'd been staring dumbly for a long time and forced himself to say something. "No."
