            〝  hey,  you were curious about trying it too.  don't act as if i was the only one- ＂eris replied back before noticing the other taking ahold of his cigarette,  causing the blond to frown slightly〝  at least let me put out the cigarette before you go throwing it away.  what if the room caught fire﹖ ＂ he commented with a sigh but seemed to make no effort in going to retrieve the smoked bud.  his eyes trained on the remaining embers that seemed to eventually fizzle out after a few seconds

scoffing abruptly,   helix turns to his former comrade rather amused.   "⠀you would've taken it seriously like before─–   don't you think so?⠀"   ah,  mentioning about it now definitely has risen some..  memorable times.   the smell of the cigarette lingers,   every intake of air filling his nostrils with the awful scent..   he's not a fan of it.   in fact   [  ∙∙∙  ]   who would even enjoy a sniff of it?  perhaps eris,  would.   but not him.   "⠀anyways,   you should stop this for awhile.⠀"   his nose scrunched with displeasure,   he's leaning towards the blonde and the cigar that one held had been taken from his grasp and thrown away─–  casually.

            〝  it's not like i have any other options to go too far to relax.  so i work with what i got ＂ was the bartender's simple explanation as he decided to now sit up against the couch in favor of stretching.  a sidelong glance was aimed towards the other beside him as he chuckled to himself〝  careful with joking about that or else someone might actually take what you said seriously ＂ he lightly warned,  his head tilting back to rest against the backrest of the couch

            at noticing the lack of extraterrestrial beings thanks to the ravenette's efforts,  eris had stumbled over to helix despite his injured state once deeming it was temporarily safe enough for him to move〝  but you'll burn yourself out if you keep this up.  let's at least try to make it to the lift before we're pushed into an even worse corner ＂ the blond tried to reason as his weight was later placed along the other's back in an attempt to keep himself steady

"⠀you think i will abandon my partner?  i've made up my mind.   i don't want to argue about this..   not  /right now/.⠀"   his tone bear a firmness,  an austere proclamation.   despite the onslaught of extraterrestrial beings appearing one after the other ──   the galaxy ranger held his ground and defeated each whom dared to assail the injured ranger.   "⠀eris,  leave now..   while i'm buying you some time.⠀"

            〝  if you end up staying behind because of me,  how else do you expect yourself to get out of this alive﹖  think about yourself for once and just go on without me ＂
            ২ ✶  me rubbing my hands together like a fly mweh heh

            with a nod of his head,  eris pointed out the mechanisms on the collar that needed to be pressed in order for the collar to be removed.  with how many there was to press,  it's no wonder eris insisted on showing helix what to do〝  there,  that should be the last of it ＂ the blond said with a sigh of relief once the collar was taken off,  barely noticing now how tense he had been the entire time.  he later rubbed at the scarring that the collar had made,  as if he was trying to scrub away the feeling of the metal that was previously closed around his neck

"⠀hmn,  alright.⠀"   he leans forward,  taking a good look of the mechanical collar.   just by looking,  helix surmised how uncomfortable it is——  seemed tight too..   his fingertips traces the material.   "⠀so where is it?⠀"

            〝  i'll tell you what to press to remove it if that'll make you less worried ＂

            〝  i'm not going to make you go through with that idea.  i don't want to see you get hurt ＂ was his response with a somber chuckle as he decided to make a drink for the other.  he really did appreciate how much helix cared though,  he just struggled with saying it〝  my break is in a few minutes if you want to get some air by the way ＂ the blond later commented once he finished preparing the drink,  sliding it over to the ravenette with lopsided smile

like it was so easy to forget,  even after all those years..  it still eats him alive.  knowing how things went back then,  and being unable to do anything.   [..]   even so,  the ruffle to his onyx locks made lips simper.   "⠀figured that was the case.   i could kill that guy who's behind all of this,  just say the word.⠀"   he was..  itching for a fight,  too.   all that pent up frustration..  truly left him in a fit of pique he had over this planet——  perhaps it's bound to explode at any given time.

            〝  stop beating yourself up over it.  what's done is done ＂eris said while lightly ruffling the ravenette's hair.  he knew deep down his words wouldn't change the other's mood,  but he at least tried in an attempt to at least stay positive,  despite how suffocating it felt in this club full of mainly aliens〝  and as for your question from earlier,  i'm not really owned by a group if that's what you're worried about.  more so it's the one that runs this place.  claimed i made good drinks and wanted to 'put me to good use' as he'd call it- ＂ he internally shuddered as he spoke,  thinking back to when he was fist made the offer to work at the club.  it was either that or he'd be left for dead,  he didn't really have any choice to go against it
