Talk about it later? And he sounded quite serious too. Whatever it was he wanted to discuss would have to wait, as curious as Edward as. He allowed the rest of the conversation to flow over him, taking him out of his thoughts to bring the bottle to his lips once more. He was going through it fairly quickly too.
"If you don't mind me taking the bottle, lass, I think it might be best for us to find quarters, even just for the time being" Edward nodded. He didn't want to admit that it had all been quite the shock. He knew that there was more to come too. How long before he'd realise just how absurd it was? He'd be laughing on the floor soon enough. One day he'd have to mourn for everything he had lost, one more time. He couldn't drown their voices in rum forever.
"Come on then, Rook" Edward said as he stood, patting the other man heavily on the shoulder. Far more heavy handed than he had intended at least. "The fine lady wishes to show us to our new beds. We should show her some courtesy"
