"At least I had something going for me," Duke rolled his eyes playfully. He could have gone without those injuries, though. They had all hurt really bad and in their own way.
"You could," if they all just settled down in a bed and went to sleep which would end up happening with or without Theodore. Even though he thought it would be fun if he stayed, Duke didn't press the subject. He wasn't a desperate guy by any means and never had to be. That didn't mean he wouldn't give up on Theodore, however. He still wanted to see him let loose.
"You know, I don't think that'll help us stop," Duke commented as he took the vials, just in case Theodore thought of taking them back. Since he couldn't make the remedy himself and was generally too lazy to go out and get them, he ended up suffering a lot of hangovers. It was the pain that reminded you of what you did the night before, what you shouldn't do so much. But if you got an easy out then there was no reason to stop. Alcohol poisoning? Could be overlooked.
