the thought of everclear made salem shudder a bit in disgust. "everclear? is that even legal to serve inside a bar to actual living people?" she said with confusion before shrugging. truthfully she'd take anything at this point. "i trust whatever concoction you come up with. i just need to not feel how i'm feeling right now which is a lot of guilt and a just a little bit of shame." she wasn't proud at leaving the way she did that morning but she was a little embarrassed that she had to get absolutely wasted to talk to him. salem listened to esme and nodded. she was right at it being different considering leon was her ex-whater. "i have no idea what i'm going to do about it.." pausing for a moment before taking the drink from esme. "but i do think it'll be smart to stay far far away from him until i figure it out right?"
oh, okay, they're starting off strong today. esme blinks for a moment before nodding, turning to look at the various bottles of alcohol behind her and cringing a bit, " i could give you just straight everclear, but i would think you'd want to ... enjoy it, no ? " an everclear cocktail sounds disgusting, so esme decides she'll put some flavored moonshine in something pretty and get salem fucked up the respectable way. her eyebrows raise a bit at the start, though by the end of salem's sentence she's shrugging, " i mean – no ? i don't stay longer than, like, seven am with any hookup i have. that's weird. " a pause. she shouldn't be the pinnacle of advice for this, " it ... might be different when it's your ex-boyfriend-it's-complicated-weird-thing, though. what're you gonna do about it ? "
