[ME] touch me and you'll never be alone

I'm like a titan that's risin'

He'd been playing into the gaps of Charlie 's words, like a course in mini golf that gives you options and only one grants you the coveted hole in one, but that becomes far more difficult when she seals all the options but one. His swing misses spectacularly, ball bouncing off a curb and rolling back to him, the blunt explanation leaving him utterly speechless and blinking. She doesn't just stop there though, no, she crystallizes everything for him with such superb clarity he can only stiffen in response, drink tilting back further and further as he empties it with all the hasty need of a man slaking his thirst in the depths of a desert.

She leaves before he can respond, which is just as well, because it's all still jumbled on the back of his tongue. His glass thunks against the table as he gets about to preparing himself another drink, less mindful of what he's putting into this one. He casts a glance back over his shoulder to where he'd left Flora, certain...almost certain at least, that she wouldn't. She and Sunjata have slipped out of view though, and it's only the new voice of Thalassa that keeps the itch in his hand from reaching to withdraw the parchment he has tucked away. Doing his best to recover from the creep of a frown, angling not to fuck up this night, after all, he lifts his gaze and offers Thal a smile. "Exactly, birthdays always need cake, and embarrassing singing."
