Jared looks up, squints against the sun as Christian drops onto the picnic bench across from him. "What?" "That." Christian waves at the plastic cup in Jared's hand. "The hell is it?" "Gin and tonic," Jared replies, and squints again, half-wishing he had Christian's hat to shade his eyes. There's a slow blink, and Christian looks at him as if Jared's speaking Greek. "A what? The hell are you drinkin' that for?" "I want to?" "Wrong answer. Here." A plastic cup full of clear liquid is slid across the rough wooden table, and Jared eyes it warily. "What is it?" "Just drink it, son." With another wary look, Jared complies, then gasps as liquid fire scorches its way down his throat and explodes in his stomach, bringing tears to his eyes. Christian just smirks and reaches over to pat his hand. "S'okay to cry," he says, and there's not an ounce of sympathy in his voice. "Jen did."
