[ Rafa's eyes flick sharply up. Had it cost him? He feels like it cost him greatly, but he also feels like he can't care about that. Not when it cost Hunter so much more. His mind pushes away from it, boxing it away. He needs to focus on easier things, less personal things, other people's things. ]
What half? [ He says, spiriting back to that strange comment. Rafa had never found marriage to be suffocating, but he's also never pretended at marriage, either. That probably makes a difference. And then he frowns. ] Did you say fucking his brother?
[ He had said that. It could just be Kavinsky being crude, obviously, because eight or nine times out of ten it's Kavinsky being crude. It tends to be that his cruelty comes out for a reason, though. Kavinsky tends to like fire with his smoke, even if it's a fire he's set himself.

He doubts it'll be strong enough to take off even the sharpest part of his age, but a big enough quantity might, and he wouldn't hate that. He downs it in one, and replaces the glass with a little smack. ]
