They say with alcoholism... nothing's more important than your next drink. You just fool yourself into thinking that, but really, if it means going without...

Would you... actually want to find something you like more than booze?

[stirtheblood]

Sure?

[huffs, and then appears to deliberately give that more serious thought]

S'like I was sayin' before... I ain't like you. It ain't like there's stuff I wanted to be doin' but the drive for booze got in the way. Now, that's mostly 'cause most of the time I wasn't tryin' to do anythin' but stay alive, but... I got some more important things now.

I like drinkin', but it ain't the most important thing. And I can go without it fine if I gotta.

[He makes it sound so easy??? orz]

You really think so?

Well... I wanna keep giving you important things, then. And you can figure out which ones you like best.

[stirtheblood]

...Well, who knows. I can say that stuff, but it's been maybe a month I've had more keepin' me goin' than spite. Can't imagine what it'd be like if had somethin' real important and then lost it. Maybe then it'd become a lot harder to kick booze back down.

[notsospeedy]

...Yeah, don't I know it.

[His gaze flicks up to meet Vicious's eyes, earnest]

But you're not going to lose me. Not if I have any say in it.

[stirtheblood]

...Guess we'll see, huh?

[He grabs another sweet frybread]

In the meantime, I wouldn't mind somethin' like this becomin' tradition.

[notsospeedy]

[////// smiles, almost bashfully]

All right. Maybe next time I'll try and make a pizza. Though no guarantees how good it'll turn out.

[stirtheblood]

Fortunately I ain't picky. And if ya don't think it's good, that just means ya can make it that much better the next time.

[grins and chomps down frybread]
