[ someone offering to share their drink with him is almost always a hard pass, or a thanks-but-no-thanks at the very least. it's not so much that he's trying to be rude, it's just... well, the germophobia, you know. he knows his chances of contracting a horrible communicable disease and dying are far lower here than they were at home, but it's a habit he may never manage to break. not when it's how his mother died.

but maybe that just makes it even more significant that he'd consider taking Alex up on her offer. ]
