Does Fabian remember how they even got onto this topic? He sure doesn't. Really, it's not even like he's all that drunk yet, despite the bottle of beer that he is also holding in his hand and the fact that it's definitely not his first, but everything is kind of blurry anyway. He remembers Krouse inviting him over, he remembers accepting the invitation easily, since he both wanted to check up on the other and had to get away from all the stuff he's been worrying about ever since everything went back to 'normal' for a few moments.

After that is where the blurriness starts. It's probably because of Gorgug, judging by the hints of the other guy that Krouse is dropping. Did Fabian start about Gorgug? Did Krouse? The half-elf really isn't sure, and he just stares at Krouse and the picture the other is holding, turning over the words in his head.

Maybe if the faint blurriness wasn't present in his mind, Fabian would have the social graces to not say what he's about to say.

But a few beers don't make only Krouse's tongue loose, apparently.

"You're saying were together," he points out.

(There's a lot of past tense going on there, actually.)
