Well, how's your head, grandma?

Ugh, pounding. This is why I swore off liquor. Wine is one thing, but grandma can't hold his brandy anymore, clearly.

So the sweater was your idea?

quick username swap hi

Suuure, "swore off liquor." That's what you always say, and then you drink anyway.

( she's not mad, just disappointed — )

Yup.

You look cute!

the struggle is real

It's sworn off until the exact moment that I drink it, then I swear it off again.

[ at least her disappointment can't possible surpass his own in himself. small comforts ]

Thanks, I think. I'm honored to graduate to grandma status at the ripe old age of 32.

SO true

If not now, then when?

( kind of a depressing turn, but. not untrue? )

Maybe I'll just remind you next time.

Or expertly slap the alcohol out of your hands?

Got me there.

[ womp womp. ]

You don't need to babysit my drinking habits. If I can't get it together, I deserve the grandma sweater.

I know I don't need to.

But I might start to, anyway, because it's not like you've got that much time left to waste.

I'd rather you spent it with me awake, not passed out.

Fair enough, but how about after we take down the Paintress? You'll be sick of me in days. Hours, even.

I've had years to get sick of you and I still haven't!
You can remain positive about the diagnosis.
But, yeah, okay. Fair.

I guess technically I won't have as much reason to drink. Or maybe it'd be more? I don't know.

Either way, consider it sworn off again. You're right, I've got better things to do.

I'll believe it when I see it.

But you wouldn't want to stumble piss-drunk into the Paintress, would you?
peint: (coe33gustave-17)

[personal profile] peint 2025-05-16 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Definitely not. That might work for some people, but I don't exactly turn liquor into liquid courage. Or anything else productive. Generally.

[ clearly. ]

Hey, have you never heard of a drunken fighting style?

Maybe it's something you should look into, grandma.

Your aim might be better then.

[personal profile] peint 2025-05-16 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, my aim's not that bad, is it? I thought I was a pretty crack shot.

You get lucky sometimes.

Usually watching you gives me stomach pains, though.

Stomach pains? Now you're just being mean.

Your hand's so shaky I wonder if you're going to shoot me!

It's pretty nerve-racking, you know.
