Cameron's gone home.

[And that's all he'll say. He probably won't talk too much about it either because Derek doesn't talk about personal things with just anyone and he knew he shouldn't have let himself get that close to anyone in the first place. And yet...]

[Buffy takes a seat, putting the tequila on the table.]

If you're me, the list is shorter. In any case, you're at least on my list of top three ways to spend an insomniac night.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Hey, I made the top three...

[He eyes the contents on the table and moves to his desk to get two small tumblers out of one of the drawers. Then he comes back to take his seat with a heavy sigh.]

So how are things at your home? Good?

Action

[whattingawhat]

It's not a bad position.

[She pours tequila into the tumblers and gets out lemons and a knife. Once they're sliced up she perches one on the edge of each glass.]

They're good. Dawn and I have been dealing with a lot of at home stuff but we're working it out I think.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[He idly watches her cut the limes.]

There's always at home stuff, isn't there? Always.

Action

[whattingawhat]

I kind of think it's a requirement to be here.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

You're probably right.

[For a few moments he just stares at the glass of tequila in silence. He's trying to come up with something to toast with the first drink. Toasting with the first drink when there's a whole bottle to go is a thing, right? And yet he's having a hard time coming up with anything to toast, evidence of his headspace right now. But finally, he looks up to Buffy, almost grins with a grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes, and then lifts his glass.]

To good friends.

Action

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy knows what it's like to have the City take away people you care about. She moped a long while when Eliot left. She smiles at Derek, sort of a sad, sympathetic smiles and toasts him as well before taking the drink, making her blah face and putting the glass down on the table.]

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[He can't help but smirk a bit at the face she makes after taking the sip. It's very much a silly face, and one he would expect of most people who don't drink hard liquor all the time.]

Don't always drink tequila, huh?

Action

[whattingawhat]

Not a huge drinker. Mostly fruity, girly things. This just seemed more like a tequila sort of occasion.

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Definitely a tequila sort of occasion. Think the last time I had a fruity, girly drink it was cause my girl back home Garcia was shoving one at me telling me to try it.

[Even just thinking of Garcia made him feel a little better. She always saw the brighter side of things. God, he needed that, or at least to try to do that in her honor.]

Action

[whattingawhat]

And you liked it, didn't you? Admit it. I won't tell anyone.

[Buffy pours them another tequila.]

Action

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

[He smirks at that, maybe even laughs a bit. Cause really, it's an amusing question that he won't lie about.] I won't lie, it was pretty good. I can see why people like them.

[He picks up a lime, bites into it and then downs the newly poured glass. Yep, he intends to get drunk. Buffy offered. He isn't turning it down.]

Action

[whattingawhat]

You can just get away with drinking it when you're a girl. Or when you're with a girl. You can always say it's hers. Or if you're somewhere tropical. I'm pretty sure they're required when you're tropical.

[She will usher him into drunkness. She does the things in reverse: shot first, lime second, making blech face again. She'll have to be very drunk for it to taste alright.]
