A little while

Hearing the tap on the window, Scott's eyes snap open from his light sleep. Turning quickly, he sleepily takes in Dalton's form, his fears immediately put to ease. Domino jumps and looks up, giving a short bark before hearing Dalton's voice and wiggling her little tail.

Scott nods groggily at Dalton's offer for supper. Just now waking up, he was stiff from sitting in his car for so long and still wasn't thinking quite straight. Following Dalton numbly was all he could think of at the moment.

Straightening up and getting out of the car, he blinks, trying to lift the fog from his brain. "I guess I... fell asleep," he mumbles. "I was gonna leave but... I don't know." He shrugs and follows Dalton to the apartment, Domino tagging along behind them. Shoulders slouched and gaze down, Scott looked much like he did months ago before taking his life back. These nightmares... these thoughts... these fears... they were dragging him down again and he didn't know how to pull himself back up.

Getting inside, he tells Domino to settle down right by the door, not wanting her to run all over Dalton's apartment. "Um... thank you... thanks, Dalton. I really haven't been... I mean, I just didn't wanna go home yet."


At Cassy's invitation, Leo looks to her a little too quickly, question in his eye as to what her intentions were. He didn't mean to think anything of it, but the way it was asked, and coming from the bar... it did make him wonder.

Hearing her backtrack makes him realize that what was going through his mind must have been pretty evident, and he can't help a little wry grin. "Coffee or tea, huh?"

Biting his lip, he looks around outside for a moment, weighing his options. "I, um..." He turns back to Cassy, his expression one that said he wasn't looking forward to this night either. "Why not? I guess I don't wanna be alone yet either. But only for a little while, okay?"

Shutting off the car, he pulls out his keys. At least this way he could make sure she got inside and sobered up before leaving her. He'd feel better about it that way. Getting out, he waits for Cassy to lead the way.


"Aw for - " Dylan curses as his annoyance rises when BJ approaches him. "Look, it's 'game' not 'dame,' and I don't play kid games, alright? I thought you'd quit trying to bug me."

While he remained silent with the adults, that method wouldn't work with a kid, so best to just get him out of his way. "Go pick on somebody else," he growls.
