Cyril's small melancholy moment was effectively whisked away by Cecil's comment and the new focus on the silly sweater, hideous as it was. It was actually rather cute, but Cyril refused to say such a thing. He was a man of taste, after all. Cyril rolled his eyes teasingly and sipped his drink, then leaned over to catch Cecil's straw in his lips and sip on it as well. "Mm--I think I like yours better," he mused, grinning with a small chuckle and a wink.
Again, Cyril paused, and felt a strange shudder pass through him. He looked around, brows knitted, then shook his head to clear it. "Must be out of sorts tonight," he mumbled, running a hand through his hair and letting out a small laugh. "I swear, I'm jumping at shadows. Time to get drunk." It was said as a joke, but it seemed a little forced, clearly trying to cover up his own antsy actions. First the feeling he'd had when he'd seen the old man, and now this? Cyril was sure it was a coincidence. Maybe some sort of anxiety attack coming on? Strange, he felt quite fine. Deciding to smile and shrug, Cyril reached across to Cecil's hand and took it, fiddling with his rings playfully. "You'll drive me home, won't you? Actually, scratch that, toss that idea--take me back to your place. I'm certain my father would explode if some mysterious stranger showed up with his half-conscious son." Again, a joke. Cyril didn't really love being drunk, in fact, he hardly liked it at all. Instead he sipped at Cecil's drink again and thumbed over one of the smoother rings, offering a smile up to Cecil. "I won't be any trouble," he added, a bit more genuine and soft, and he leaned over to press a small kiss to Cecil's very fuzzy, wooly shoulder. That damn cat sweater.
