When he sees his soulmate loving a good for nothing brother like me?" he said, the mere thought of it shattered him, he understood that feeling quite well and it was suffocating, not wanting to drag on it he chugged the wine hoping he would drown himself in it.
Seeing his action Celeste knew just how pained he was, the feeling of being in the center of all this mess was dragging on him, she suddenly understood why he was drinking, to drown himself away, and she needed just that too. She yanked the one he gave her and gave it a chug also.
"All this is bloody messed up, but we should always have faith" Alaric intoned.
"What faith brother? You said it yourself this is messed up" she says. "All can do is pray that we do not lose our brother"
