[ ninety-two. eddie scrunches his nose a little, but doesn't comment at first. instead, he exhales through his nose and starts to sag against the wall a little, sliding and slouching down a bit into a position that looks - uncomfortable, more than anything else, honestly. but he seems content, finishing off the rest of his joint until there's just a little bit of ashy paper left pinched between his fingers.
he looks up at julie, slightly below her eye-level now that he's relaxed (see: melted) a little, and he doesn't so much exhale, but lets the smoke filter out of his mouth as he speaks instead. ]
Ninety-two, huh? [ he says this mostly to himself, even though he's looking at her. he raises one lazy hand, thumb and index fingers held close together. ] So close.
[ not that close at all, actually, and not a year he's likely to see if he ever makes it out of here, but that's kind of a downer and has the potential to kill the high that's only just starting to kick in, so he avoids that kind of talk.
instead, he smiles up at julie, nudging the back of her nearest wrist with his knuckles. squishy candy. right. ]
It's like - a s'more. [ he shrugs, cuts the same hand he nudged her with through the space between them. ] Without any of the other stuff.
