As long as we're living and breathing, there's more we can do. We just have to be strong enough. captain . earther ACTION TEXT HANDWAVE

[amusement falling away in measures, Nathan takes a moment to consider that. eventually, he shakes his head, though it's not an outright no, but] I don't know, man. [a beat] A little, maybe, yeah. It's less -- less raw, now, I think?

[ James reaches out to clamp a hand on Nathan's shoulder, giving it a supportive squeeze. ]

Good. You want to stay up here and finish the bottle? Fair warning, I don't drink much, so there will be a very drunk Holden before you know it.

[Nathan flashes him a soft smile, at that touch. he glances to the edge of the roof where they came up, as it fades]

Depends. [a beat] You think you can climb down, if you're drunk?

[chaos_magnet]

I think I can fall down, but I'm not confident about safely getting down.

[duderaider]

Yeah, alright. Let's, uh -- let's get down, and then we can see how we feel about the rest of the bottle, here.

[because he really doesn't want James to land on his head or something equally horrific, on the way down]

Fade out ;

In which, James managed to more or less get down unscathed, and they drank more back in the comfort of a suite.
