Even before you were a wolf?

Re: private;

[ukan]

...Yeah. I think that's why I started drinking.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

I can’t do that.

Re: private;

[ukan]

Good. You shouldn't. It doesn't work, anyway, not long term.

There's no real running from feelings. Despite what a lot of our colleagues here believe.

Also if it mixes with the sizeable dose of Benzos I take every day, it’ll shut down my respiratory system.

Re: private;

[ukan]

And it could force you to change and God only knows what you'd have to do in a bar to survive that.

Bad news all around.

[abrightboy]

…You don’t think I’d just die in my bed like a troubled celebrity?

Re: private;

[ukan]

If you did I'd write you a really great eulogy.

[abrightboy]

Tempting, but I couldn’t leave Will.

Re: private;

[ukan]

Fine, just don't go Romeo and Juliet on me.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

It’s not like that. It’s all about life. Like… living for the first time.

Re: private;

[ukan]

Yeah that's how it is for me, too. We've been together all these years and it's still like that. My advice? Don't ever take it for granted.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

How could anyone take that for granted?

Re: private;

[ukan]

People do. Look at how high the divorce rate is.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

Maybe they never had it to start with.

Re: private;

[ukan]

Most probably don't. But I think it's just human nature to grow used to things, and take them for granted when you do.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

I’ve… never really had time to grow used to anything good. Maybe you’re right; I… wouldn’t really know.

Re: private;

[ukan]

That's not entirely true though is it? You're used to having money. You're used to having a mother and a sister who care about you.

Re: private;

[abrightboy]

I actually only really reconciled with my mother a couple of years ago. And shortly after that, I covered up a murder for my sister and sort of... had an existential crisis over it. I mean. I guess the money? It sort of just... is. It just... always has been.
