Good.

"I could dance," he offers, grinning.

[unbreachable]

"You're trying to get me killed."

Smiling at him, pulling his hand back and sipping at the eggnog.

[simplepuzzle]

"Yeah, but what a way to go, huh?"

Are you telling him he's not worth it?
Chuck pours himself a cup and sips at it too, still grinning.

[unbreachable]

Are you telling him you want him dead?

"There's worse ways. You wanna dance?"

[simplepuzzle]

No. Just that if they have to die, this is a pretty good road.

"Yeah!" Really? He's gonna dance with Chuck in front of everyone? In front of Herc?

[unbreachable]

Why not. Blame the booze.

"C'mon."

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck downs the rest of his cup and sets it down, reaching for Raleigh as he follows him to the dance floor.

[unbreachable]

He's in sooo much trouble, but whatever. Why not. Go for it, it's Christmas.

[simplepuzzle]

They're drinking, it's Christmas--who cares? Even if Herc is watching them with slightly narrowed eyes and maybe Raleigh should ease up a bit.

Or convince Chuck to ease up.

[unbreachable]

Yeah okay maybe he's backing off a little and playing it off by pulling a few more people off their seats to dance so they hide Chuck and Raleigh.

[simplepuzzle]

What no, Chuck doesn't want to be hidden.

Like realistically he knows that Herc will literally murder Raleigh for messing with his kid, but Chuck doesn't want to be tucked away. He knows he's a dirty little secret, he doesn't want to be treated like one all the time.

[unbreachable]

Then should they break up? Because Raleigh doesn't really want to die and he can't afford to get fired.

He doesn't have a lot of options. But he is having fun.

[simplepuzzle]

What no Chuck doesn't want to break up! He lo....really really likes Raleigh.

And yeah he's having fun too. If Raleigh decides Chuck's too much trouble to be worth it that's up to him.

Chuck'll hate it though.
