Huh, well. 'Least you got Crobat. Looks like he adopted ya immediately! [he leans back and exhales.] Hey, thanks for comin' back, seriously. We should hang more, maybe, when I'm not such a depressed bitch.
[The specialist boy who can do no wrong. That's Jesse, yup.]
Crobat? Is that the purple fella? Seems like a nice lad, very good flier too. [Cass was very impressed with his showing off earlier.]
Maybe you an' him can come visit my place sometimes? Got an open door sorta policy for friends, come in any time of the day or night, like, food and drink is fair game to visitors and the couch is always there.
Maurtia Falls. Number two, I think. [Probably, it's not like he looks at his own house number any more than he knows his own phone number. It's not a usually important detail!
There's no resistance to that lean in, stretching out an arm to awkwardly fling it over the back of the couch, creating space for leaning.]
We welcome depressed bitches especially, y'know. And fellas with broken ribs.
I guess it is... [He got pretty lucky with the pals that showed up, he knows this. Sure, there's the issue of unrequited love with Tulip, and the fact he sorta murdered Eccarius, but he's still rather have them both around than not.]
Bottle yeh? Hoping you don't want me stabbin' yeh.
[Because he won't! He's just going to reach for the booze instead and move to pour Archie more.]
Not always about who y'know though. Sometimes it's about the friends you make here.
You can do what you want, but you need to clean that shit up, bro.
[he holds his glass out, knowing cass isn't about to... stab him. obviously.]
Aye, sure. Why'd you think we're here right now? [he reaches over and musses his hand in cass's hair, ruffling it.] Like I'd trade ya for anyone in the world!
[A hair ruffle? Truly best buds now! He snickers lightly in return because he's just totally supportive of all this physical attention he's getting.]
Aw, yer just saying that 'cause I'm the only fella here. I appreciate it though, mate, I do. You letting me spend time here, and with booze too. You're a real good lad.

[the bat in question has retreated back outside, but archie nods.]
You're a good kind. Sure, I'd like that. [he leans a little heavier on cass, already tired.] Where's your place?

[he sits up, pulls off his shirt. there is a bruise in the shape of a footprint on his chest.]
Yikes. Still, though! I know what broken ribs feel like. [a beat.] We? Who do you live with?
no subject
[Not broken, but they sure look battered! So point proven!! Whatever the point was.]
We? There's me best mate, Tulip, and me fella, Eccarius. Just the three of us right now, but that's more than enough.

That's all you need, sometimes. [he had that. now he doesn't. he sighs.] Bottle me.

Don't go actin' like I wanted you over as a charitable act.

[Which is very self-aware of him, but look, he knows what a pain in the ass he is, that doesn't mean he does anything to change that.]
no subject
No. I don't think that poorly of you.

Suggesting you think poorly of stray cats?
