[ While Seth could have passed on the performative mourning, the array of alcohol is a welcome sight. And he hasn't had to drink much. The shared spill of intoxication is doing most of the work for him. Seth can't decide if he resents or appreciates the efficiency of it.
Most everyone he's spoken to here has expressed the same sentiment Lexa has in varying degrees of blunt. Seth tips his glass towards her before chuckling bitterly. Lexa doesn't have to be explicit about the consequence. The consequences of not getting in line have been made clear. Richie's taking it seriously enough for the both of them. ]
Yeah, I think I'll stick to the method of communication that doesn't give me a front row seat to everyone else's thoughts.
[ At least, until he figures out a way to do it that doesn't end up the way he and Richie had: mired in each other's minds, too close to easily escape. Seth can't risk that with any of these other people. ]
