WARNINGS: it's cross.
SUMMARY: lucy got some 'esplanin' to do about wrecking a marriage.
FORMAT: quick to start!

[Bad username or unknown identity: look, i was drunk, it was dark, and she was hot.]

(Cross often wondered why it seemed that trouble followed him everywhere. He really had no excuse, there was nothing going on here that required him to do the things he'd usually do back home, but still. He sighs, already drinking heavily as he always does before any serious conversation. Either Lilian would get here before Hank did and he'd have to sober up for her and leave Hank out in the cold, or he'd actually have to have this conversation.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, it was probably time that he packed up and disappeared. A year had passed and it was more than acceptable that he had left it in a mess. It was just habit after all.

Argh, where was the Earl when you needed him to fuck things so much that his own messes paled in comparison.)

An act only works if you carry it out in public, not when you admit things drunkenly embarrassed when it's just the two of us.

Unless I've somehow become a woman and just haven't noticed it yet.

You can't hold those against me; I'm drunk.

(God, Hank.)

You're more honest when you're drunk.

[Cross, please.]

Maybe it's just the person.

(he's too guarded for that to happen. plus, cross being a good person to someone? rare.)

And which person would that be? There are too many to single it out.

If he's too stupid to guess, it's his own fault!

(don't make him say anything about that, he has an image you know.)

[He stops and leans back, wide-eyed in surprise at the outburst. After a moment, he crosses his arms and settles into a subtle grin, with only a touch of smugness.]

Well, maybe you shouldn't refer to him in the third person while he's standing in front of you, especially talking about your mode of interaction with others.

(he see sit and he huffs

)

Maybe he should just get a clue.

[Hank rests his head in a paw, rolling his eyes.]

Maybe he got the clue already, but you should learn to give better ones before getting mad at him for not catching on. Maybe he's known enough mind readers to realize that such skills are not, in fact, gained through osmosis.
