[A little nod! He does not get drunk no matter how much he drinks and he drinks so damn much, so he's just going to take small little sips now and then so Elysia can enjoy the glass more than he would.]
I do hope that everyone can behave... An evening without any curses would be ideal.
[ she can hold her drink fine but she doesn't have lucas' insane tolerance. ]
I don't know if there are that many left in circulation? We'll see tomorrow.... but I do want everyone to have one final nice time altogether. We don't have much time left.
[Nobody should have his insane tolerance, why does he even have his insane tolerance. Stop that Lucas.]
We don't... So I hope for the same. That everyone can enjoy just one more moment together, all together, and celebrate that we made it this far. Even if the journey itself was difficult, and there's still more ahead... we still made it this far.
[ trust them less.... get rid of your drugs, not that elysia knows what his drugs do.
they are stubborn in their own ways.... someone help them. ]
Thanks, Lucas. You can rest assured I'll succeed. I won't let another ending happen the way it did before. I hope things turn out better for you and Nadia, too, and that you can find some independence.
[ her trust in that hospital and church of his is low. ]
[He also doesn't know what his drugs do still, so they are matching... in both this and in their stubbornness. GOOD WORK TEAM.
Naturally he finds the phrasing a bit strange, but just assumes that she's referring to the fact that Nadia very much does not have independence as she is right now. SICKLY SAD GIRL.]
Thank you; I'm certain that will happen. I'm glad for your confidence, as well... I do believe it when it comes from you. I only wish that I could congratulate you once you've succeeded.

I hope you don't mind sharing my glass.
[He'll just drink from the bottle like the mess he is.]
But yes, I am. I still have a few people I wish to speak to before turning in for the night, but that's enough excitement in one day for me.
no subject
[ even if she thinks the mismatching aesthetic would be a sight to see. ]
It'll be even more exciting tomorrow.
[ party.... ]
no subject
[HE GUESSES. Even if it means having to get up from his cozy spot and travel back to the kitchen or bar to get a glass...]
Or I can just stop drinking for now. That's fine, as well. [He can manage. But there's a little hum at that... PARTY.]
It'll be nice to see everyone all together again.
no subject
[ he sounds so reluctant to leave. they can pass it back and forth. he is likely more of a drinker than she is. ]
It will be, and the energy will be... loud, I think.
[ chaotic. ]

We did. It's an accomplishment, and I don't doubt that we're going to finish it well. I have faith in a satisfactory ending.
[ or at least one that doesn't suck. ]
no subject
You and I both, then! We've worked hard, and I do believe that hard work should be rewarded.
no subject
she takes a sip of this wine that has no effect on lucas. it won't have much effect on her either, not a glass' worth, at least. ]
We'll have to see it through, no matter what that takes or means. What are your plans for after this, Lucas?
no subject
They can be matching in at least not being huge lightweights.]
I intend to return home and pick up my work again. I do miss teaching... Though I'll have to take care, considering my return would be unprecedented.
[He's going to have to go into hiding.]
What about yours, my dear?
no subject
[ his teaching or his serial killing. ]
You died of the illness that takes everyone on your island, right? What will you do with your sister?
[ if he has to go into hiding, what is nadia going to do about it.... ]
I plan to return to my world and take care of my unfinished business.
no subject
[Lucas just living in the basement as a scientific anomaly.]
So both of our plans remain unchanged, in that case.
no subject
[ it only makes her more curious (suspicious) of the hospital. ]
It doesn't surprise me. We're both pretty set in our ways.
no subject
They have for years, so I'm sure they'll continue to.
[A little bit of amusement at the last part, though. They are...stubborn.]
That's a kind way of phrasing it, I suppose. We are... I do wish you all the best in succeeding this time around.

Your well wishes and sincere thoughts are enough to cheer me on. Don't worry. I cherish them.
no subject
Then I'm glad I could give you at least that much.

[ she raises the glass as if to toast him and takes a sip of the wine. ]
no subject
You're too kind. That should be my line, I believe...
