You know, pouring a shot for him. It's like to honor him? You pour a drink onto the ground for the one who's gone.

[bestest]

Oh...

[looking down at his own]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[considers, then pours another one for himself, WHY NOT] You gonna drink it?

[bestest]

I thought that was what we were doing. But--

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

But what? [coming to flop on the bed!]

[bestest]

But am I supposed to do it too? Pouring it out.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think we only have to do it once. You can if you want, because I got a new bottle.

[bestest]

[:x going to the window and doing it anyway!!]

[going over to put a MANLY HAND ON HIS SHOULDER AS HE DOES]

[bestest]

[looks a little confused at that, but. ...sitting back down on the bed!]

[pours him another shot and goes to find the movie!]

How you been doing?

[bestest]

...I've been... okay. [sounds strangely genuine about this]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . Yeah? Good . . . I mean it's not really something . . . I don't get it, yet. Because I was just a Noah for so long. When a Noah dies, we cry uncontrollably, but it doesn't feel like anything, really. I didn't care about Skinn. He was family but not real family. So I've never felt the way you felt . . . I guess I will someday. So--it's good you're okay! I mean I'm glad! I was worried!

[bestest]

...He was more than just family. It's more important than that.

But... there's nothing I can really... do...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Nah, not really. . . . That's the thing I admire about humans.

[taking his shot]

[bestest]

What...?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

There's never anything you can do but you keep going anyway. It sucks being a human, like a lot, but you all still--have fun and make things and love people! You gonna drink?

[bestest]

[...just drinks his shot, yeah--making a face]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[LEANS ON and pours them both another]

I think it's--good? That's a human thing . . . I'm only just learning that stuff.

[bestest]

Do you think it's something that we all know?? I didn't know about it.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I dunno if you guys think about it or whatever. It's just like it happens and you deal with it and get shit done.

[DRINKS]

[bestest]

What am I even supposed to be doing...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . I dunno . . . I guess just . . . still being Shuri. Figuring stuff out?

[bestest]

At this rate, what will happen if I go home...

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

. . . It would've happened someday anyway. I dunno. That'll probably happen in January, right, for vacation? . . . I guess you're the man of the house.
