[ Reggie, of course, doesn't remember who John is either, but for now he's trying to pretend like nothing is different; nothing is wrong. Just go along with it until he can figure out WTF is happening. ]

Your boyfriend?
Tough break, man.
Should I bring over some beer or something while I'm at it?

[ There's a little blink at the mention of his "boyfriend" because god that's not a term he's ever used with John.]

John is-..
Thank you- I suppose.
It's not my drink but if you'd like it, sure.

[ This whole thing is weird. Honestly. Caliban is weirded out.]

[ To be fair, Reggie has never actually been clear on the nature of Caliban's relationship with John, but he'd also never drop the "b-word" so casually under normal circumstances... not really his style. He's just guessing here, and hoping he's not too far off the mark, but that's sure how it sounded to him. ]

Doesn't have to be beer
What else?

[clayking]

[ Alec was John's boyfriend. Caliban was just... well, something *else*. Just like Reggie had been something undefinable, so was John in a way. ]

One of the privileges of being a bartender, Reggie. Is that I do have a rather stocked bar of the things.
Just bring yourself- and the charm of yours.

Give me like 15 minutes and I'll be omw

Sounds perfect, baby boy. Can't wait for you to be here again.
