[with some amusement]

I don't usually think about it.

[afineknight]

[ a shrug. ]

Fair enough.

[leonheartedly]

I'd drink a lot more if I did.

[afineknight]

We're both nearing 30. If we get back, we need to have a conversation about healthier habits.

[leonheartedly]

When.

[afineknight]

[ He just gives him a look, like "we're not talking about this right now." ]

[leonheartedly]

[he shrugs in response, giving him an even look back]

When, not if.

Besides, I have plenty of healthy habits. This one is just - occasional.

[afineknight]

We'll see.

[ re: occasional. he's watching you, mister. ]

[leonheartedly]

[. . . he squints at him]

We'll work on yours, too.

[afineknight]

Mm, I knew that would be coming one way or another. So judgmental.

[leonheartedly]

If like three different people didn't tell me how much you were smoking the other day, it'd be less.

[afineknight]

I was stressed.

[leonheartedly]

I know. That's why it's only judging.

[afineknight]

You shouldn't judge. We all need to cope here somehow.

[leonheartedly]

Considering I was seriously going to ask you for one because my vice is mostly unavailable, my judgement is mild at best.

[afineknight]

I let you have a nice relaxing bath. Isn't that better?

[leonheartedly]

[he just gives him a look]

[afineknight]

. . . I tried.

[leonheartedly]

. . . I did appreciate it.

[afineknight]

[ He flashes him a smile before stretching, looking back up at the ceiling. ]

[leonheartedly]

[he grows quiet as well, only shifting to fold an arm under his head before settling down]

[afineknight]

[ cool. two guys just chilling on the basement floor. this is nice. ]

[leonheartedly]

[it is nice. That should bother him, but]

[afineknight]

[ it's nice, companionable silence. ]

[leonheartedly]

[the way his mind isn't wandering to the usual spots is a small miracle.

After the silence stretches on a while, he finds himself laughing quietly]
