"Just a moment-"
He returned with a bottle of it a moment later, along with a dusty glass.
"She's out, by the way. She let me cut her."
He sat on the edge of Tybalt's bed and added, rather cheerfully, "See, Tybalt? Charity. She's not so unprincipled after all..."

"Oh, come on now, Herbert, she could have had an ulterior motive in that," said Tybalt, dragging himself to a sitting-up position.

"Huh. That is a possibility."
Herbert looked extremely thoughtful for a moment, then shrugged and knocked back another pull of brandy.

"Would you?"

"Not from you, but you know -"
He glared to caution Herbert away from thinking anything of him, but accepted the brandy anyway.

"By your redhead, you mean."

"Oh."
Herbert shifted a little uncomfortably.
