“ zabini, ” his greeting is uncharacteristically chipper, but more surprising still is the lazy arm that he drapes around the others shoulders. it’s a move between acquaintances - a kind of jocular action - that would probably be considered friendly if it didn’t come from him, and nikolai’s grip is iron tight. “ you look like shit, ” is pretty rich, coming from him, but it is the truth, and he doesn’t say it to be cruel. after all : aren’t they one & the same ? he wouldn’t be offended by such a thing. “ i know what you need, ” he grins, sharklike, and jabs the index finger of his other hand into blaise’s chest, “ another drink. that’ll set you right after the week you’ve had. trust me. ”
