[ CLAUDE YOUR BEER!!!! yves will startle a little - and laugh lightly afterward. he pulls his hand away just to try to mimic this! he succeeds, if just barely, and followed by a little hiccup after
EVEN MORE WARMLY: ]
Ifff you say so!
[ tipsy lil laugh ]
I don't know what experiences you have that mean you see mercy a lot, Claude.... but I'm grateful to have a chance to meet you.
But I'd send you home sooner if I could, if it made you happy.
Hehe... hope so. Whoooo said death had to be the end, ya know?
[ but he notices claude's empty glass and just immediately moves to get up ]
Lemme getcha'nother one! [ oh all those words are slurring together
and where yves hopped the counter with just soooo much grace before, he tries again now and - absolutely fucking eats it to land ungracefully on the other side goodbye world ]
[ it's okay he's also devolved into tipsy giggles. idiot. but he'll lift his arms like he's used to being helped, and lean on claude a bit.... they're best friends now ]

Thanks. I sure left them all with a big mess to clean up, so I doubt they'll be forgetting me anytime soon... For better or for worse.
[ Ugh, what a nightmare.
He just grimaces and chugs his beer, emptying as much of the glass in one go as his lungs will allow him.
Letting it thud back onto the table... ]
I wouldn't spend too long on being surprised to be here, if I was you. In my experience, it's better to show gratitude toward mercy than reject it.

I'm glad to meet you too, Yves. I am grateful for your kindness.
[ Even if he comes off as aloof. Sometimes you just don't know how to be warm. ]
Hopefully whatever it is that awaits us... Is better than anything we've lost.
[ Clinks their glasses again before finishing off his beer. ]

Well, Claude is kind of an ass so first, he will just laugh at watching him wipe. Sorry, it's so funny that he went at it with such confidence.
Once he's done snicker—which doesn't take that long—he'll get up and walk around the bar so that he can collect Yves from the floor. ]
I think I'm okay, actually. Maybe we should head back to the mansion?
no subject
BECAUSE YVES IS ALSO ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING ]
Whoa... didja see that...
[ it's okay he's also devolved into tipsy giggles. idiot. but he'll lift his arms like he's used to being helped, and lean on claude a bit.... they're best friends now ]
Retirin' early? Ooooookay! Sweet dreams...

[ THIS BIG BABY but Claude will hold onto him fairly securely. They're close enough in height, and he's pretty strong.
Out they go of the bar and toward the mansion! ]
Do you remember where your room is, buddy?
no subject
anyway first off, pleased and warm: ] We're buddies...
[ and then he starts humming while he tries to think of the room. when he answers it comes out in a little tune ]
Twooo oh fiiive?
no subject
He's really funny like this though, so Claude just chuckles to himself. ]
Roger that.
[ Hopefully he doesn't end up at someone else's door. ]
