Drunken pain && Conversation (Rich)

[rich]

"Cheers." Rich agreed, sipping on his drink. He ran his fingers absently over the wood grain, staring into it so hard that he could almost see pictures in it. He blinked a few times, that was a sure sign that he was well on his way into getting drunk when he saw things in the wooden bar.

He would talk to his companion, but he didn't seem all that chatty. Perhaps it was for the best, it gave Rich more time to focus on Ari, and how much he really missed her. Even Ari would have been able to get this guy to talk, to make him laugh.

Kobby watched the man stare into the wood, and shook his head absentmindedly. Kobby had really messed up, getting involved with a student but he was pretty sure that he was doing a thousand times better than this guy. As the man traced the wood, Kobby downed another drink before shoving some hair back.

"So who did you piss off?" He asked with a slight slurr. Yeah, he was getting drunk, and enjoying every minute of it.
