[semi_auto]

Because.

[a lapsing pause.]

This hangover is too thick to think through. Sorry about that.

[possibly misunderstanding the 'why.']

[merch]

[ Long pause, which the audience will no doubt interpret as concern. ]

You don't have to apologize... but are you all right?

[ Jesper! ]

[semi_auto]

What. Yeah, I'm all right. Nothing I haven't gotten over four or five--

--or twenty, forty. A few-- hundred times before. [he sounds fuzzy but also amused. it's not the most dubious set of circumstances under which he's been amused by a painful situation. at least nobody's dead this time.] Soon I'm gonna roll downstairs. Hopefully I'll land in a coffee pot.

[merch]

[ Please envision Wylan gently hitting his head against a wall somewhere. ]

Hopefully! [ He has Concerns. ] If you're lucky. I don't think you want to show up to another meeting like this.

[semi_auto]

Aw. [but lest you think jesper is too fuzzy to notice the concerns, he lapses into a pause a moment.

and then there's a something in his voice when he asks—]

Kaz say something?

[merch]

[ Don't do this to him.

Okay, do it to him. But give him a second to compose himself. ]

No, he didn't say anything. [ Wylan doesn't make for a very good buffer between Kaz and... anyone. ]

[semi_auto]

[the silence stretches a little. innnn gennnneral, jesper would rather present his best side to wylan. hangovers are apparently fine by this standard.

being disapproved of by kaz, however.]

What didn't he say? Asking for a friend.

[merch]

[ Wylan has some complicated feelings about the divide between these two as well. Well, his dilemma takes shape opposite Jesper's. Granted, he understands wanting to be seen in a good light by Kaz. He has respect for Kaz.

But he's more concerned about the state of Jesper's head. ]

You know Kaz. [ You can almost hear him pinching the bridge of his nose. ] Better than I do, too.

[semi_auto]

Yeah, [jesper says. he doesn't sound gloomy, but he sounds like he's trying not to sound gloomy. he's pretty good at it. of course it takes more than a poker face to win most of the games he favors, but you know.

sometimes wylan goes easy on him.]

Won last night. [sudden change of subject!] Not big but I did. Do you have dinner plans?

[merch]

[ Wylan isn't actually a game you can sit down to a table with some cards to play, Jesper. Just throwing that out there.

Buuut if he were, there's a chance the house would let Jesper win far too often, to be truthful. So he has a weakness! So what? ]

Dinner? [ Wait, what happened? ] I hadn't thought about it... [ You mean that meal you eat near the end of the day? The one that's sometimes nothing but a snack at 2AM? ]
