[ He kind of laughs at the first comment. Okay, so alcohol definitely isn't useless in the scheme of things. After a second or two, he leaves that part of her room to go settle on her bed. Don't mind him if he makes himself comfortable. ]
Gonna share then? Now seems like a good time to celebrate. [ There's a slight bitterness to his tone, but he figures no one would question it. He's just glad Jo's still here, still wants to be around him for a little while longer. There's a crooked smile. ] I, uh. I missed you.
[ jo doesn't mind at all. in fact, she's going to go grab one of the bottles and then join him on the bed, taking a long pull from the bottle before holding it out to him. ]
Good of a time as any. [ she notices the bitterness, but there's not enough there for her to ask about it. instead, she just gives him a smile. small, a little tired, but there. ] Missed you too. How've you been holding up?
[ He takes it and rolls the bottle between his hands for a second, thinking about her question. ]
Okay, I guess. [ Bells takes a slow drink and eyes her as he does, suddenly really glad to see her. It hits him all at once, and he frowns, offering the bottle back. ] I dunno. A lot of stupid shit's happened since, uh...
You and Alex are the only friends I have left, you know. Dean too.
[ Maybe. He's not really sure on that one anymore. But he carefully steers around one name in particular, tilting his head back to look at the ceiling. ]
[ she takes the bottle, momentarily confused why he's frowning and what he means when it all just kind of falls into place, and her eyes go from confused to sympathetic in a matter of moments. ]
Bells- [ i'm sorry, but she bites her lip then. sorry doesn't really cut it, does it? so instead of continuing, she just takes another drink from her bottle and hands it back to him, refusing to take it back if he offers. ]
