This is why we can't have nice things. |
<TXT> From Darwin to Javi: you have any good jokes Some time later… <TXT> From Darwin to Javi: ok that nap couldve been better. are you still available for alcohol? Darwin guides Javi via text up to his apartment, a tiny studio-style situation in Hyde Park. He answers the door with a subdued, hopeful smile, hair a little tussled, but most notably-- there's large splotches of dried blood up and down his overcoat and slacks. He sets his teeth against his lip, lingering in the doorway. "Javi," he greets, tilting slightly in search of tequila.
He's looking around the hall when the door opens, but his attention returns as he hears the sound of the knob turning. He's already lifting a hand to wiggle the bottle that's in it a little bit (not top shelf, but not the worst), but when he actually //sees// the other man he stills, and his eyes widen. "Holy shit," he remarks. "You weren't kidding, huh."
After that brief moment of surprise, Javi doesn't seem to //mind//, except insofar as he does look a little concerned. "You forgot you were bleeding?" he replies, and now he's eyeing the other man more skeptically, but he lets out a little snort as he steps into the apartment. "It's all good," he adds with a shrug. "I'm not the one who's bleeding, right?" A smile flashes across his face before he adds, as an afterthought, "Maybe you should get, like...checked out." And possibly not be drinking alcohol, which he's definitely thinking now as he glances down to the bottle in his hand. However. "Nah, don't worry about it. Had it sitting around anyway and I just didn't want to be that guy who drank a whole bottle of tequila at home by himself."
For a moment, Darwin watches Javi's concern with a strange, wide-eyed anxiety, up until that shrug. His shoulders slump slightly, and he turns to pull some glasses out of the cabinets. "Oh, I got checked out. I'm okay. It wasn't so bad, just... uh, hit-and-run so I have no one to sue," he says with a small, weary laugh. "You're refreshingly generous for someone I'm not too familiar with yet."
"Uh." Silence. "No. It's fine." He does not have any sort of poker face. At all. It's very clear he feels he's been caught doing something. It's just the //what// that isn't apparent. And then, in a complete non-sequitur: "You like doing park stuff, right?" What? "I mean you had that petition and everything." Yes, apparently he's just going to ignore that whole thing that just happened. But at least he does seem to have a point, even if he hasn't gotten to it yet and it has nothing to do with anything that's just been said.
"Uh..." And in perhaps the world's worst attempt to pretend that nothing has happened, his eyes flick //back// to that empty spot in the air. Really, Javi? REALLY? "Not really." Lord. "I mean, not more than usual." He laughs, a little nervously. It is just so bad, friends. Really, really bad.
Darwin stares at that empty spot with a muted kind of anger. Ghosts? In his territory!? "Nothing... weird? Nothing trying to force you to do things or scaring you?" These are weird questions, but Darwin seems hellbent on showing poor judgment today. Then he catches Javi's glance. "You see it!" Surely!
"You know what man you can just like have that," he says as he gestures toward the bottle. "You know, go for it. Hope you feel better." Oh, that careful study of all those methods of egress is coming in handy now, because he's turning away and heading for the door.
