Sam had only been drunk a handful of times in his entire life and somehow between the few times he always forgot just how horrible the morning after a night of binge drinking was. He'd been sick earlier, though he was grateful that he'd been able to make it out of the museum and out of the sight of any of it's inhabitants, especially one, before he emptied the contents of his stomach on an unsuspecting bush around the back of the building. He couldn't really think of anything that would've been more embarrassing than having Shannon witness that, except maybe having Dean see it.

He also found himself grateful for the fact that he hadn't yet consumed all of his tic-tacs from his welcome package so that he could put them to good use now. He'd made his way back into the museum and while he normally wouldn't have touched Shannon's supplies without first asking permission he'd taken the liberty of helping himself to her supply of Aleve and a bottle of water. She probably wouldn’t even know, considering she was still sleeping in one of the rooms with Ianto and Jack, though he wasn't entirely sure if she'd care or not. He wasn't sure what had happened between them, but she was definitely acting as if he'd done something wrong. Something that was most clearly evidenced by the fact that she'd decided to sleep with someone else the night before without so much as telling him she was going to do so. Not that she necessarily owed him an explanation, he'd just forgotten momentarily that she didn't. Which was maybe the most disturbing thing of all.

A quick look in the journals had given him an excuse to get out of the museum and had him headed towards the church to meet up with Andy. The pretty day was absolutely wasted on him as he battled the raging headache that remained untouched by the Aleve and squinted against the morning light. Even the sounds of the birds annoyed him as he made the trek from the museum to the church, his shoulders slightly more slouched against the sunshine than they normally would've been. He had finished the water bottle by the time he reached the church, his thoughts moving to his father and his brother as he surveyed the lonely graveyard. By the time he reached the church door there was a part of him that had wished he knew some place where he could curl up alone and go back to sleep and then start the day over hangover free. 'Course wishful thinking hadn't exactly gotten him anywhere before, he didn't exactly have a lot of faith in it now.

He reached up and knocked, the sharp sound of his knuckles on the door seeming to echo. Then, realizing that Andy wasn't exactly the most mobile person at the moment and Luna was out he pushed the door open. "Andy?" He called out, but not as loudly as he normally might've, as he searched the open space for a sign of his friend. "Hey, it's me, Sam."

The walk toward the gym was probably about as silent, somber, and awkward as any walk Andy had ever had. Or, maybe just since the one from Webber's body on the pavement back to the side of the dam the night he'd just been calling "that night in Guthrie" or the night "when shit went down." Tracy had shrunk back behind Dean once he'd come down from the hills, looking over her shoulder at Webber's corpse frequently while she sobbed; Andy had walked with Sam, head down and shoulders slumped, wishing he could cry about what he'd done and knowing he couldn't in present company. This walk was almost as bad.

Andy looked up as Sam asked whether he could head to the church to get some sleep because the place he normally stayed was full. That sounded pretty awful to him. Too many people made Andy uneasy, really, even if he was damn good at hiding it. "Yeah man, sure, whatever you want," he replied in a dull voice. He tried to force a smile to let Sam know that, in spite of the lackluster tone in his voice, he actually was cool with it. It came out like a grimace instead.

The gym was looming in front of the two of them sooner than Andy had expected it to. He'd thought they'd both been dragging ass, but maybe it was just time that felt slow and not the two men themselves. "All right man, this is my stop," he tried for a joke although it didn't quite hit its mark and he didn't bother even trying to make up for it with a false smile. "Have a good nap. Thanks for walkin' with me, bro."

Giving Sam a small, curt nod, Andy excused himself then and pulled the door open, slipping into the gym. Lexie'd make it better. Well, the leg, that was; it killed and maybe less pain physically would make room for all the pain emotionally. Here was to hoping.
