Liam's shoulder's drop slightly in a moment of relief. For a minute he had thought that Darius might insist that they keep working and Liam is sure that he might have ended up going crazy if he had to spend another hour completely sober. It's not that he can't deal with stress or anything but this is perhaps too fresh a wound to completely ignore and alcohol made a good bandaid.
Besides, the program he's running is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for him so they're still working on the problem in the background.
Darius wouldn't do that to Liam - at least he'd try not to. The other man worked just as hard and he knew just how taxing it could be. Especially with Liam's particular brand of hopeless romanticism. He and Gillian were, young. They were impulsive and hot-headed, and, unlike Darius, they didn't understand the cold smolder of waiting and longing when you weren't 100% sure of the outcome. They hadn't already given up one great love in order to do what you thought was more important. So Liam needed time to mourn, or think things through and realize that the window was still open to the possibility of her taking him back.
The comment brought a smirk to his lips. Liam had seen the set a million times when he'd been in the treehouse, and only now seemed to realize that this was what Darius meant when drinking was offered. Quality liquor in proper glasses.
He hands one to Liam. "This is just a setback, we'll get it in the end." Darius was, not particularly good at decompressing anymore.
