[FAST THINKING SAVED THEM ALL TODAY even if chanting come hither thot wasn't exactly their best moment. They all really tried...]
They really do, don't they? Wish we could take these with us when we go. [He'd love a magic self-stocking bar??
Either way instead of letting go of Junpei's hand once they get there, he just tugs him behind the counter instead and goes rummaging with his free hand.]
But you're right about that - a good thing, indeed! Dealing with the impossible makes it hard to look at any situation at all and see it as a dead end.
It's going to be kind of a pain in the ass to go back to paying for food and drinks when I get home. Then again, maybe we'll actually get the money from Dcom and it won't be that big of a deal. [He could use $500,000, it's fine. He doesn't even try to pull his hand away, following Wei Wuxian behind the bar to check the inventory and letting him sort through bottles on his own.]
Right, exactly my point. Even if it feels like the end, it's definitely not the end because it's not the end we want. We just have to convince the others to remember that.
Don't rich people get to go on fancy vacations and never actually pay for anything because they're rich anyway? That's the impression I've always gotten. [That's definitely how rich people. But he'll grin and while Wei Wuxian holds the bottle, he'll reach for the top stopper. They could definitely open this bottle easier if they let go of each other's hands, but why bother? It's fine? It's definitely fine.
At least the bottle's easy enough to open.]
You really think the deceased can keep up their morale?
That's what I've always seen in movies so...it's probably sort of true. [Says Junpei, who has also never been rich enough to really understand rich people. It's fine. Sometimes you just Are.
But there's a grin and he'll lift the bottle in a toast before taking a sip and handing it over. Sharing is caring, etc etc.]
I don't really know. It was easier when they thought there was still a way to get out of here and things were still changing, but I'll admit I'm a little worried about what'll happen when we really do lose contact with them. Assuming we don't get some kind of miracle tomorrow.

[WILD. Eventually, he'll find a bottle he's satisfied with and plunk it down onto the counter. He holds the top out toward Junpei, though.]
Do the honors of opening it, would you?
[Apparently he's still not going to give Junpei his hand back. Still his for now!!]
—The good thing is, there are enough among our dearly deceased and living that I feel we can do a decent job at rallying everyone's spirits.

[RAISES HIS SHOULDERS look he was so poor that the kid he basically adopted just called him Brother Poor, isn't that terrible. THE WORST.
He's holding the bottle out to Junpei after it's opened, in any case.]
First sip honors. [Said with a little, quirking grin. Then:] You think they can't? I'd be more surprised if that were the case, hah.
