Lock and Barrel both ignored Chad as they fought, then settled down. If Lock heard Agatha's comment, he either didn't acknowledge it or was too distracted cuddling up against Lillith to care. Shock heard, barely bit back her snickering, and hid her smirk behind another drink of pumpkin lager.

If only Agatha knew...

She watched as Lillith finished her sip of wine and took her spin. Barrel wasn't paying attention to that or Agatha, as that tussle with Lock worked up his appetite and he went for the snacks he had in the panel beside him.

The bottle landed as he slugged down another drink. Lock and Shock were laughing already. Barrel finished his swig, then looked down at the bottle. The few seconds' delay made his siblings laugh even harder as he realized it landed on him and that [i]he[/i] was next to get a kiss.

It was a good thing he's already swallowed, or his spittake would have covered the platform. If Barrel wasn't already ghost-white, he would have paled.
