There are some things that can't be worked through. This isn't one of them, but going out and getting hammered until he can no longer see straight and then some has been a tried and true method for him. Fucking with it would be stupid.
He accepts the bowl, already digging into it, getting his second helping. Yeah, he'll be able to keep going after this. He doesn't even look up at Barnaby's suggestion, just offering up a one-shouldered shrug. ]
Don't need to clear my head. I'm good. [ He is very obviously not good. He reaches for his water regardless, downs what was left of it in one go, exhales. ] Think I'm just better off staying out here.
[ If his mind is so dulled but still his then he can't exactly be a threat to anyone, can he? Not any more than normal at least, but he's also well past the point of caring, so it doesn't really matter either way. It's better to keep that party going. ]
