It was another few hours before Herbert rapped on Tybalt's door again, taking a few unnecessary steadying breaths.
"Tybalt, dear, I'm back-"

"You can have all you'd like, darling," said Herbert. "Do we need more now?"

He tried to stand up and walk, but where he was headed was hard to tell because he tripped and caught himself on the bedpost, clearly smashed.

Herbert pushed open the door and smiled anxiously.
He was dressed to ride again, though this time everything was in dark brown and black and free of any ornament, though it fit well enough that it displayed the shape of his body in an extremely flattering manner. More startling, though, was the fact that his hair had been cut and now hung loosely to his collar, with just the barest hint of waviness mixing the blond with the white and flicking up the edges. There was still something terribly louche and hedonistic about his whole demeanor, but when he smiled at Tybalt there was a little glimmer of beseeching wickedness in it, more highwayman than bored fop.

He squinted at him; there were no lights on and with the curtains drawn, at this house, it was quite dark.
"Herbert? Or -? Where is my roommate?" he asked drunkenly.

"They're in my room."
Herbert came closer, smirking.

"Not all of it,"" Herbert protested. "Heavens-"

"All the parts I pulled on earlier-"

"Mmm, yes. Perhaps," Herbert conceded, sitting on the bed. "I suppose you'll have to pull a little closer now-"
