"I'll give ya a tip if you suddenly find yourself on Sapphy's bad side: Shut yer mouth and nod. She's wicked smart, and sometimes it comes to a great disadvantage for her reasoning: She'll read far too into shit you say. Like why you chose a certain word over another. Believe me, 'track, just shut yer mouth."

"I'll remember that," Race said, keeping in mind that, this being Copper's advice, maybe he should do the opposite. Then again, Sapphy did tend to read into things. It made him nervous sometimes.
And now they were talking about Sapphy without fighting. This was either great progress or some kind of elaborate trap. He ordered them another round of drinks.

"Thanks, man," Copper grinned at him. He took his drink and clinked it against Race's.

Race did not generally think of himself as a paranoid person, but he was starting to wonder if Copper planned to get him really drunk and then jump him in some alley on the way home. Or maybe he knew this Charlie guy, maybe the whole bar was in on it, and they all had brass knuckles...or maybe Copper would go home and tell Sapphy that Race was a terrible person and had confessed to five murders...
Or maybe he's just tired of fighting, like you! Thank God they were doing this over whiskey. Race smiled back, said, "Any time," and drank with all his heart.

Copper knew what Race was thinking.
"Listen Race, I'mma be nice to you fer now. Fer me sister. It'll make her happy... But the second you screw up..." I'll use everything I find out about you against you.

"I'll just have to disappoint you and be totally perfect then," Race said with a grin. "And if you're really being nice, you oughta buy the next round."

Copper side-eyed Race.
"Touche." He ordered another round.

Whiskey was totally better than wine. Race was going to be Irish forever. Or at least until he hung out with Rae again. Speaking of which..."Raven wants you and me and Sapphy to come to dinner. I dunno if you've even met her...Spot Conlon's girl, they've got an apartment in Brooklyn."

"That's pretty much my attitude," Race agreed. As long as you don't get to talking with Rae. She knows more embarrassing stories about me than anyone alive. "Gotta warn you, though, it'll be very, very Italian."

"Cheers," Race agreed, clinking his latest glass to Copper's latest glass and downing a good portion of it. He didn't usually drink this fast, and it was quickly making this whole drinks-with-Copper deal seem a lot more pleasant. In fact, he was congratulating himself on having such a brilliant idea.
