[ he eyes the whiskey again, debating whether drinking now, even just to a buzz, is a good idea. but even if someone does creep up, it's not like he won't hear them. he tips the mask up again, downs half of what's left in one go. ]
So'd it feel like revenge? Leave you happy? Or did you really go throw up somewhere and cry in a corner?
[ there's less venom to the words than he'd like, or than david might expect. it's more like a real question. killing takes people differently. especially the first one, which is a turning point. evidently despite everything, david hadn't killed before getting here.
not really a surprise, given his status as survivor. ]
