There's a Darien at the bar, sipping on coffee that's more sugar and milk with some coffee than the other way around. He's also munching on a breakfast sandwich of some sort.

He's edging on needing to go home, but he's got a couple more days till he has to head out and he intends to enjoy them.

He nods.

"Yeah, pretty much. I asked him not to go."

It was a little more than that, but he's not a big sharer.

Liam knows a good part of it, but he won't bring it up if Darien doesn't want to.

"And he agreed."

He shrugs.

"Something I said struck something, I think."

"Well, whatever it was... thanks."

Blink.

"Thanks?"

"He was going to go and not come back. And yeah, he has to sometime, but..." He shrugs.

He looks at Liam.

"You're meaning to say that you'd asked him to stick around and--"

Then he shuts up...because if his brother had asked, he'd probably have left just to piss Kevin off.

"God, no", Liam says hastily. "No, I didn't hear he was thinking of leaving until he told me he wasn't gonna. I haven't been coming in enough, I guess."

He nods.

"Could be."

He shrugs.

"I don't know how things are between you two, though, so I can't say."

"A lot better than they were."

And that's all he'll be saying about that right now.

He nods.

"Don't feel like talking about it. I'm cool with that."

"Yeah. All water under the bridge now."

"Wish I could say the same.'

He hadn't had a chance to clean things up with Kevin.

"I wouldn't be able to, if it wasn't for this place."

And for one brief moment, he thinks about what he mightr have told Kevin. Perhaps his face shuts down.

"Yeah."

Liam watches him carefully, sideways. "Never know what might happen, here", he says idly.

~~SQUEES~~

"So I've heard."

He's not expecting it though.

~~I AM SO WEAK.~~

"Anyway, yeah. Good to meet you."

He nods.

"Have to invite you to dinner sometime. I cook up a mean salmon, apparently."

Liam grins. "Oh? Sounds good."

He grins.

"Ask Charlie."

"I'll make a point of it."

He nods.

"I think I'm going to go find him now, though, if you don't mind. Gotta make sure he isn't freezing himself outside again."

"No, sure." He waves a hand. "Got to look after him."

He nods, stands, and wanders off to do just that.
