Edmund was no stranger to alcohol.
There were people who drank socially and those drank to... drink. To cope. And, Eddie couldn't say that he was the most sociable of people. In fact, a part of him felt that drinking would help sober himself up to that reality, as contradictory as that was, and instead help him open up somewhat. Well, that was his theory. Instead, drinking was far more frequently alone in his own company, and if he was in the company of others he tended to sit a distance away on his own, silently observing conversation.
For a man so quiet, drowning out the noise in his head felt like a force of habit nowadays.
And so, upon stepping into the kitchen and freezing beside Freddie, Ed wanted to feel that unfamiliar sense of sympathy for Rory. He sighed, a slow, nearly disappointed shake of the head as he listened to what Freddie had to say. No, Eddie wasn't disappointed in Rory for getting so irresponsibly intoxicated, or for Freddie for his joking remark in a situation which could be seen as anything but funny, but instead Ed was disappointed in himself.
How could he have overlooked the teenager when in reality they shared so many similarities? Eddie could see himself in the younger man, as much as that pained him to admit and so, swallowing hard, he wandered over towards the teenager and held a hand out for him. ❝ Get up. ❞ Words seemed curt, almost impatient, but really Rory had Ed worrying for him, even if his stoic features said otherwise.
