They had been talking, things started off rather light honestly. But of course with the drinking that had started things had gone down a darker road. Looking into some of the worst things that John had done. The cases he solved by leading others to their deaths. Or just talking about the mess that was Astra being dragged down to hell. Just the thought of some of it was enough to get him to down another mouthful of the whiskey Rip had brought in with him. John clearly, while having a decent tolerance for drinking didn’t have nearly the amount that Rip had.
They had been drinking the same length of time, he hadn’t bothered keeping up with how many glasses they’ve had. John on the other hand, had enough that he was quickly moving into the drunk territory. Might have been why he said that line. Not wanting to remember those things anymore? Keep his head fucking quiet.
Of course it was never that simple. He wasn’t getting rid of any of those memories. Exhausting? God when wasn’t that an understatement.
Death on both of their hands then? John hated that sometimes there didn’t seem to be any way around it. Or how much he was willing to trade to fix some mistakes. Sara had caught that before. “Why we have this shit.” His words weren’t slurring much yet. “Well seems to work a lot better for me than it does you.”
Had he seen the man actually drunk yet? Even a little bit buzzed? He knew that he had his own fair share of drinks since showing up. But apparently he could drink most regular people under a damn table.
