it isn't what you want?
just whisper sweet nothings in her ear
put your hand on her knee
you know

your accent was sort of irritating at first, but it grows on you

[donkeyballs]

Look
there's a difference between want and want and while one of them is obvious because yes I have a god damn pulse the other ain't it

huh

that uh
that something you think the rest of the crew agrees on?

[tumang]

you're overthinking this
a beautiful, long-legged woman is sitting on your lap, alex
stop
thinking

i don't know

[donkeyballs]

Pretty sure I'm doin' exactly the right amount of thinkin'.

[ But he's also a weak man, so if he puts his hand on the small of her back, no one can blame him. ]

right

Right, of course, why would you.

Uh

speakin' of the crew, you seen any of them around?

[tumang]

haven't
don't want to
when holden makes one of his faces i know he'll ruin my night

[donkeyballs]

He does have a way of lookin' extremely disapprovin'

[ But he also wasn't who Alex was actually asking about.

God damn it.

He leaned in to the woman on his lap, murmured something in her ear, and a few seconds later - making a dejected face at him - she slipped off his lap and out of the bar. ]

Think that's my strike out. Better off headin' to bed.

[tumang]

oh, come on

don't tell me this is about bobbie

[donkeyballs]

it ain't about anythin

Just think I'm done for the night.

[ Liar. ]

[tumang]

alex
having a one night stand does not make you a bad person that she won't look at ever again

[donkeyballs]

[ The reply takes a little while before finally: ]

honestly i doubt she'd care one way or another

But if it were the other way around--
I don't know, Amos.

Just not what I want.

[tumang]

alright

want me to get a bottle out and we end the night on the obs deck?

[donkeyballs]

Yeah.

We can pretend one of those stars is ours.
