"It's about a block thataway." Jason studies him. "You sure that's where you want to go right now?"

[petrobin]

Unless you know of a liquor store that's closer. [Tim shoves his hands into the pockets of his jacket and starts walking in the direction Jason indicated.]

[blue_gyr]

He might, but... "Are you sure you should be drinking right now?"

[petrobin]

My time here has been nothing if not a series of poor decisions. One more before I pull myself together won't kill me.

Bars are bad.

[petrobin]

They can be. [Nothing quite like the universe sending a younger version of yourself to tell you to stop being foolish. He gives a wan smile to the younger boy.] Maybe I should find an ice cream parlor instead.

['If you want to rot your teeth,' is on the tip of Tim's tongue to say -- an echo of something his mother said to him a few months ago -- but he doesn't.]

Maybe. Ice cream is probably better for you than alcohol.

[petrobin]

You'd have to eat a lot of ice cream for it to be that bad for you. But a little can't hurt if you remember to brush your teeth. [Was it his mother that told him ice cream would rot his teeth? it was probably his mother.]
