[How about another old man to up the ante here? And no it wasn't like he knows what conversation is going on. Just making his way up the street smoking his own cigarette. He could go drinking, in fact he's been trying to gear himself up for the act for a few hours now except that would admit that this is all getting to him. It's a curse. A fucking curse. Except it hurts more than he ever thought it could get talked to and treated like that by a man he believes he knows so well.
Silly fucking bear. It should be apparent. You don't.
Now that man is out in the City. At least he warned Pink. Maybe he should have warned others. But what to say? Feels like Ariadne isn't quite someone to confide in completely. Arthur? That would have been polite. Arthur's going through enough as it is. A guy doesn't need a kindred bed fellow.
....Oh wait. Look who that is.]
Pink. [Nod, like they haven't talked hours ago.] Orange.
[The same goes. Simple, easy and like nothing in the world bothers him.]
[Calm enough to fake a grin. Okay part of it is how he can see Pink straining over something. The kid...erm man got to him. Inhale of his Chesterfield. Don't look too long, Dimmy.]
[What the fuck is this. Are they in league with each other? He should have known. Mr. White can't leave him alone, can't live and let live, let him sort out his own strange divergent past. Caramel green eyes sharpen from one man to the other, then he turns on his heel to leave.]
[What is this? What the fuck is this even? The old man silently shakes his fists and tells Pink to fuck off. That's silent too, fist and arm the good old fashioned way. Don't worry, weasel. He'll gladly apologize. Right now things are so goddamn unstable he doesn't even know what to think.]
Orange, you going to turn down a drink?
[Because you know what? They're not gonna talk about bullshit.]
[This is probably the most young Freddy Newendyke Mr. Orange gesture he's done all day...instead of saying any more, he throws his middle finger over his shoulder.]

Fuck, you know.
White.

[STILL LOOKING.]

Fuck, nevermind.

You brought it up, now you have to finish it. What about White.
no subject
[Shit shit shit]
no subject
[Oh yeah, he's implying he thinks you think they're fucking. Well, were. Well, White and his younger self. Yeah.]
no subject
You guys were friends.
[Friends who suck each other's cocks.]

[Who are you trying to kid, Pink?! Also he's keeping up.]

Shit, hey, White.
[He doesn't radiate save me yet, but its close]
How you doing?
no subject
[He greets in a cool fashion. Maybe Pink can feel a literal frost between them, not icy per se, maybe more like cold iron.]

no subject
I was just going for a fucking drink.
[Son of a bitch. That's all he wanted, damn it.]
no subject
[Another implication; he guesses Larry got to him first. Was that necessary, Dimick?]
no subject
[Eyes on you, weasel. He's trying to save your ass. Fucking take a hint and roll with it, won't you?
Based on this interaction aftermath alone, yeah. He sure did need to get to him first.]
I dunno about you [that's to both of them] but I could go for a drink too.
[He moves on a few more steps.]
Coming?
[Maybe alcohol will be the great equalizer.]
no subject
You sure you still don't want to go?
[Come on, Mr. Orange. Be fucking cool.]
no subject
Fuck it.
no subject
What the fuck happened here?

[Pink is fumbling for his own cigarette. Fuck. Fuck what the fuck.]

no subject
Orange, you going to turn down a drink?

Fuck.
