After Char had left scathing notes about the stink of the room on the mental notepad last time Andy had been out, he'd made a few small changes to his habits. He'd cobbed together a window seat that was relatively level with the bottom ledge of the window in his room, wide enough to sit on. A small table was nearby, a highball glass filled with drink already poured. A small tin box held his weed and papers, also on the table, as he sat on the bench with the window wide open. His legs dangled out, and he'd pulled the window out enough that he could sit in the open space.

He lit his first of the evening, celebrating a relaxing day by relaxing a bit more. Drawing the smoke into his lungs, he held it, letting the lassitude begin before he exhaled and reached for a drink.

	"Yes. No. I don't know." Alec shook his head and poured himself another drink. "I used to. Now... I don't know what I want. I'm like a bloody damn teenager all of a sudden when I was jaded at fifteen. I'm doing it all backward. I blame them." He jerked his chin towards the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Being surrounded by hormonal kids under the age of twenty? Yeah, it'll do it to you." Andy tapped the side of his head; after all, he lived with one permanently. "Then just tell him you feel like an idiot and tell him what you want. Either you get it, or you don't, and you can go on with life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mm." Alec tossed back his drink. "Want and need are two different things and I'm not sure I know the difference anymore. It's all... I don't know. Why are we talking about me? I don't like talking about me. I'm boring. Let's talk about you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You're more interesting than I am, and you're talking about screwing around with a resident in my head; I might have an interest," Andy grinned. "Most interesting thing I'm doing these days is running a bit of a still in the corner there, but it's not working properly yet. I was considering setting up to brew some good beer, but someone else took the paycheck clothes shopping."

"No, see, the fact that you can have residents in your head makes you inherently more interesting than I am. Also, beer is interesting, although I don't drink it much myself, as it doesn't get me drunk nearly quick enough, and most of it tastes like ass. And that sucks that you have to split the paycheck four ways. Do you argue over the budget?" He drew his leg up to his chest again, propping his chin on his knee.

	"But if you're interested in them, you're not interested in me; there's a difference," Andy pointed out. "It's hard to argue over the budget. Generally, the one with their hands on the money tends to spend it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do you argue over who gets the body on payday, then? Or is it not like that? I sort of get the impression that it's pretty random, although Char said that sometimes she'll take a nap if she knows Mickey needs to be out for some reason." He cocked his head, watching him. "Is it annoying that I keep asking about it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, it is, since I'd rather just be me while I'm out, and not all of them at the same time." Andy didn't mind admitting to the others, and he knew the reality of his situation, but that didn't mean he needed to share space with them at this moment. "And yes, it's pretty much random. Sometimes I wake up and a week's passed, sometimes I'm lucky enough to get two days in a row."

	Alec bit his tongue on another question. Maybe he'd ask Char, or maybe he'd just avoid them all altogether. He'd be better off, probably. "Thank you," he said finally. "For sharing." Whether he meant the weed or the conversation wasn't clear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Andy assumed he meant the weed, and gestured at the tin. "Any time I'm out. Just don't hit it when I'm not here. Can't keep track of when I need to buy, then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's just wrong, stealing from a man's stash when he's got no way to defend it." He forced a smile. "I should go. I'm sure there's something I'm supposed to be doing." Not that he was in any state to be of any use to anyone, but wasn't that the point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Andy let his feet slip back out the window, leaning slightly forward and looking down at the street below. "And handily, I have absolutely nothing I should be doing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Have fun with that, then," Alec said. He stood up, taking his bottle of bourbon with him as he left. (Reply to this) (Parent)
