Cole smirked a little, watching as she tossed the coins in. This was probably considered animal abuse somewhere, although he really did love fish and their simple ways. He cocked his head at the red speckled one, as it remained in the one spot despite the coins landing consistently near it. The corners of Cole's lips turned downward as he appeared impressed, nodding his head slowly. Fair enough, fish, fair enough. He looked across at her as she spoke again, the wallet turning over in her hands as if nervous. He frowned a little as she announced she was going to head back and leave him to it. He reached up and took the hand that was intertwined in his hand.
"Don't. Come back with me, we'll go." He knew it was the drink mainly talking, since he'd never have said it sober, but he meant it. He knew that once she went inside he wouldn't see her again for a while and she'd stay with Max and he just couldn't stand the thought.
TJ didn't really hide the fact that he didn't feel comfortable. His position had moved from being relaxed back on the sofa to being perched on the very edge, his hands clasped between his thighs. He wasn't even looking at the telly, his eyes were focused on the table in front, glazed and glossy as his mind ran over other things. His train of thought was broken by Auden speaking and he quickly looked to her, only for her speech to be cut off by the doorbell. He exhaled heavily, following her with his eyes to the door as she got the pizza. He stood up and walked to the kitchen, grabbing a glass from the cupboard and proceeded to fill it up. He needed a drink as his throat had suddenly gone very dry. He wasn't sure why but he knew what was probably coming from Auden.
