[You. Have a ginger walking over.]

What killed your horse?

[nonmetus]

Used my spurs too hard.

[faultlesscon]

Cruel. [Just going to settle right there by you, James.]

Really through, what is it?

[nonmetus]

I had a dance scheduled, and it looks like it's got to be pushed back a while... a long while.

[faultlesscon]

Care to share?

Sounds rough.

[nonmetus]

Suki said this would be our first date. [He scuffs his toe in the dirt, smiling sadly] Looks like she was wrong.

[faultlesscon]

[He's quiet for a moment, then reaching over to pat the other on the shoulder.]

There'll be other dates, you know.

[nonmetus]

I know. It was just... [He shrugs, shaking his head] I'm alright, I've just got no one to dance with now.

[faultlesscon]

Well, if this was a horrible romance comedy film, I'd offer to dance with you. [This face. Sarcasm even when he's trying to be a friend.]

How about we just get a drink?

[nonmetus]

[He laughs] Drink first, then maybe I'll take you up on that dance.

[faultlesscon]

You're going to have to get a few in me before I actually ask, Potter. [A shake of the head and he motions towards the saloon.]

[nonmetus]

Sounds like a brilliant plan to me. [He pushes himself to his feet, holding out a hand for Alex]

[faultlesscon]

Well let's see how it goes. [And he's taking that hand. Time to get fucked for the sake of friendship, great.]

[nonmetus]

How many drinks does it take you, Alex? I'll bet you on it.

[faultlesscon]

We'll find out--though I'm thinking that I'm a lightweight, no lie.

[nonmetus]

You-- you've never drunk before?
