Altered Carbon | 1x08

Night City, The City of Dreams.

“Seems it’s my lucky day then, don’t gotta pawn no chrome for your nasty-ass bottle,” he swipes it up in one fluent move and takes a swig without even flinching. Not the first time he drank dubious alcohol from a stranger, not that he gives a damn either way, about the contents or how hygienic the bottle might be. “You’ve seemed to have survived this long though, what’s the secret? Don’t accept cigarettes and booze from sketchy randos on the street?” he chuckles again, taking another swig. Some kind of hard and heavily synthetic alcohol burns a path down his throat and warms his wet rag of a body back into some semblance of life— it's unclear if the metallic aftertaste comes from him or the bottle. Of all the things that tried to kill him, it would be funny if sus booze is what does it.

he angled a glance over, the smirk never fully thawing the old lines cut deep in his lineaments. ❝ you don't look like you have exactly been kissed by good luck lately, though... if you need a decent hangover, or the cure of it, let me know... all i ask is that you don't bleed on my jacket. i'm trying to keep a low profile. ❞ a light-hearted commentary, but meaningful in its core, even if not fully perceived. he was an observant all-in-all, and there were nuances in the other that caught him fully. mayhap the gaze also spoke what his casual temper did no. ❝ the moment you throw up on me, i'm billing you for emotional damages. but well... at least don't say i never treated you later. ❞
