[Before leaving, Alvin seriously considered bringing a bottle with him. Not for Lu Meng (although it may help who knows), but for himself. He knows this is going to involve some heavy discussions and he'd probably prefer if he had something to deal it with. But he opts not to, and as promised he arrives at the location within a few minutes. There's no reason to delay and really he can't even try to prepare for what may happen. He just has to try and be calm and give Lu Meng the support he needs—support that he's never really done before, but has learned through others.
He hopes he can pull it off.]
Apparently doesn't like baths. [There's a small, wry grin as he answers, now standing beside the man. He can see the lines, can see how worn out his friend is. It kind of hurts just looking at him. Perhaps that's the reason why he responded in such a lighthearted manner or maybe that's just how Alvin is. Maybe both.] But he's a tough kid. He'll be fine.
