[William is not the sort of person who would reflect on this situation because quite frankly, it works in his favor and he doesn't care - but a keen eye might've noted the latent danger that comes with inviting the man who once held his belt around your throat to dinner, in your vacated house, with such open trust. He likes that aspect of Nick, the foolish part of him, because it makes for easy use (who hasn't seen the network to further underline that point,) and although he hasn't done anything to the wine, this moment right here would've given him ample time to.
Foolish kid. He likes that about you.]
It's definitely older than you are, the vintage. Yet nowhere quite as old as I am.
[Said jokingly when Nick returns, and yet - wholly truthful. He waits for a beat to take a seat, if only to lend a hand in setting the table; it's not an act he really wants to be tied up in so if Nick seems to have it all under control, who's he to interrupt? He'll just toss a dinner napkin across his lap, and touch his fingers over the silverware's handles.]
