[Dryly, with some vague confusion:] Why is there coal in my room?

[Private to Judas]

Thank you for the wine. It smells excellent.

[Shinzon has no problem using alcohol to his advantage.]

But did he accomplish anything?

[Such a meanie. Judas presses a hand to his eyebrow, trying to clear his thoughts. He's not used to saying so much.]

He got me arrested, which made a few people happy.

Why? [Yes, Shinzon will just keep quietly pressing the subject.]

[Judas looks up from his cup at Shinzon.]

Why I was arrested? Or why people were happy?

Why don't you answer both? [Shinzon takes another sip, watching Judas over his cup.]

[Judas looks hesitant for a few moments before he nods, but not without first taking another sip of his wine. Goddamn Galileans and their strong wine.]

At first I thought it was because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[The Apostle blinks a few times as they too are starting to feel the effects of the alcohol.]

They needed me. The Sanhedrin. They wanted Jesus and the best way to get to him would be through me.

[Judas presses a hand back to his eyebrow.]

But I wasn't well-liked by the other Apostles. I argue with Jesus a lot.

What's wrong with argument? [He watched Judas continue to drink and didn't try to stop him, watching idly.]

[Judas has to pause as he blinks a few more times. He sets his cup on the table and blows out a breath.]

I apologize, Annas.

[After a few moments of re-gathering himself, he answers:] I don't know. I questioned because I was worried about us stepping out of line. The Romans could have crushed us without even trying.

[He nods, still studying Judas. Doesn't take long to come to the conclusion that he's a coward. Shinzon doesn't have a whole lot of patience for cowards.]

And did they?

[Judas nods somberly.]

They killed Jesus. Crucified him from what I've read.

[He runs a hand over his peach fuzz, guilt starting up in him and the urge to cry growing. Drinking makes him argumentative or emo and right now its working on the latter urge.]

[Hey, it gives Shinzon all the juicy goods. But you know what? He's a real pal. No, really. :| So he's reaching out to slide the cup away from Judas.] I'm sorry.

[Judas looks up at the movement but his eyes are bleary enough, his face heated up enough for him to know that he's hit his limit, if not a little past. He rubs his hand across his face.]

He was... I...

[Oh dear, the waterworks are starting up a little.]

He was what? [Oh hell, don't cry. :| Shinzon has no patience for crying. He stands, and offers Judas a hand, placing his free one on the other man's shoulder.] Let me help you to your room.

[Judas looks up again at the touch on his shoulder and nods briefly.]

I apologize, my friend.

[Shinzon just nods, because ff. He thinks Judas is very close to useless, but has no reason to say so just yet. So he helps Judas up, moving toward his door.]

[Judas staggers a little and he fully realizes that he's had certainly too much Galilean wine as well as underestimated how strong it is.]

[Oh did he now? Shinzon is steady on his feet. Seriously man, that Romulan ale will get you. He's warm, and that's pleasant, but his faculties remain in tact as he walks Judas to his door.]

[The Romulan ale will eat him alive. For serious. But, nonetheless, Judas blinks a few times as he walks to the door. He's mostly upright and straight.]

Thank you for the wine my friend.

[From the inside out. Shinzon sees his door open first before nodding.] I think you're the one to thank for it.

[Judas looks over at Shinzon before he nods. Oh yeah. He gave that to him.]

For sharing it, then.

[Smart Judas.] Of course. You should get some sleep. [But Shinzon is so not sticking around for the whining. He'll probably turn off the sound on his PADD...]

[Judas nods minutely but he has other plans. More along the lines of complaining and whining and maybe crying some. And singing, of course. That singing shit is the best.]

I will try.

[Sure it is. :| Shinzon nods before turning to head back to his room.]
