"So, uh, why're you here drinking by yourself?" asked Risk curiously, glancing over at Wraith. "I'm actually pretty surprised you're speaking to me... the last time I saw you at a bar, you were... uh, just there." He took a swig from his beer bottle, realizing that it was when he was there with Rae...

She blinked, already a bit lightheaded. "You and Raven...I almost forgot about that. I hear Spot Conlon's run off to Chicago, so now might be your chance with her," she said with a humorless laugh, rather than answer the question about drinking alone.

"That's not something I want to remember," mumbled Risk, rolling his eyes. "Rae can... do whatever she wants, I don't care."

"Good. That's good." She'd been speaking to him, as it happened, out of sheer loneliness--she'd barely spoken to anyone in days--but now she stopped, stared into her glass, and let the inevitable awkward silence settle over them.

"Right," he muttered, nodding. He'd rather not recall that eventful night. He glanced over at Wraith awkwardly. "You didn't answer my question earlier."

"What, is this an official interrogation?" she asked sharply, looking up at him with a flash in her eyes. The same kind of flash that was there the night she screamed curses and pulled a knife on him. Yes, they had been allies lately, but 'allies' didn't mean friends, not in Wraith's mind. He was still a cop, and she was tipsy, and that old tension and fear were creeping back to the surface.

"Geez, Wraith, I'm just asking," muttered Risk, rolling his eyes at her before taking another swig from his beer. "Don't get your panties in a bunch."

She narrowed her eyes at him and shrugged. "I drink a lot when I'm upset. And I haven't got anyone to drink with, so I'm drinking alone."

"I know how that feels," he muttered, smirking. "Well, I'm here. Drink with me, then."

"That," she said, rolling her eyes, "would be worse than drinking alone." And yet she still polished off her second beer.

"Hey! Why's that? I'm not that bad, am I?" frowned Risk, looking over at her. ((Nap time! Be back soon  ) |

"I don't trust you," she said in a hard voice. "Any of you." She wasn't wobbling on her stool yet. Her tolerance had actually improved a little from drinking so damn much. She paid for a third beer and told herself she'd nurse it.

"There's only one of me, Wraith," he chuckled, rolling his eyes at her. "What, cops? Lower your voice down, will ya? Enough people already know about this and I don't need you announcing it here at Irving Hall."

"You're the one who just announced it," she pointed out, and sipped the third beer, then rested her head in her hands.

"I didn't yell it," he muttered, finishing off his beer and ordering another one.
