essek closes his phone and makes a mental note not to bring up drinking again. he knows what caleb has been through, and mentioning it to him so casually is likely not a good idea. he leaves the rest of the drinks in the small fridge, opting instead to take a thermos of his own cold tea in it’s place. drinks can wait until caleb isn’t present.

essek makes his way to the door of his tour bus, popping it open and seating himself on the stairs to wait for caleb.
