Re: Max/Mercy/Nate- 7pm - Loitering in the Lobby
"Didn't one of them die of AIDS?" Nate chimed in. "Or wait, was the whole show about AIDS? Or am I thinking about Rent..." He fell silent, then turned to his makeshift cocktail as his sister cast what could only be interpreted as subtle shade at their neighbor. He rolled his eyes and tried to come to the rescue the very moment Mercy stopped talking.
"And the dress isn't ruined," he added. "A half decent seamstress would have that fixed, no problem. You'd never even notice." He shook his head and cut his eyes toward Max. "Don't let her get to you. She just gets like this sometimes. All... prickly."
