@encharmeds for ruby
donnelly and killian have attended this comedy show because one of the latter's friends asked (read: begged) killian for his famous youtuber brother to show up, maybe shout him out. and donnelly didn't really have anything else going on (never mind he's dying, every second could be his last!!). he's too much of a bright light to think like that, grasping every moment with both hands and trudging forward with all the energy he can muster (when he has it).
he's taken by a girl somewhere in the middle of the set. her self-deprecating jokes make him laugh, and there's something genuine and real about her, so much so that he makes sure to approach her when the set's finished. his brother's talking to his friend, anyway, so it's not rude to split off.
he approaches her with an easy smile, leaning on the bar beside her. he's a little pale, definitely has dark circles under his eyes (a permanent fixture), but the light that burns within him shines through, even now. "hey... i really liked your set." the irishman says, "do you have socials i could follow?"
