A lot later, when Vivi's with Giles | Look, an opportunity to be an alcoholic

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert had been trying to resist the lure of alcohol. Being an alcoholic (in this AU) does not make this easy, and when Vivi is safely with Giles, Robert can't help himself. He wanders over to the stand, trying not to look desperate.

It's not as if many of the villagers don't know the shame of his alcoholism already, but he doesn't really want to be hounded here, even if the festival is a lot emptier now.]

...

Hello.

[And now he's suddenly uncomfortable. Who is this person? He thinks he can perhaps recall, but doesn't know well enough to venture a guess.]

[Mildly defensively:] I enjoy hard work... [Says the guy who pretty much works three jobs. On purpose.

He exhales slowly after a moment.]

But perhaps I do put too much pressure on myself sometimes.

[This is why he's an alcoholic. Okay, that and his former boyfriend got him into it.]

Not enough time to be overworking yourself in my opinion. [ Not that Crowley has to worry about that, immortality and all. ]

Exactly. Need to lighten up, go have a little fun once in awhile. Only live once after all. Er, well, besides reincarnation.

There is something of a difference between working hard and overworking... That being said, I realize I likely can do both.

[Robert sighs a little, conscious of how much he depends on the alcohol to take the strain off, and somewhat ashamed of that fact.]

... I suppose, if you believe in that sort of thing...
