"Or that 'Drink a Shot If...' game," Fred chuckled. "But I kid. Don't worry, we'll talk to Cliff about it all. If you'd like..." He shrugged. "Cliff and I can treat you to lunch a bit later."

Jezabel grinned,"Oh good, that might have been awkward. Lunch sounds great Fred, thank you"

"Sounds great, we'll treat you." He smiled. "Maybe not the drinking game, though. Not safe if we have younger guys around."

"yeah I figured as much, gotta be 'responsible' and all that" she said using air-quotes for responsible,"Alright, call me for lunch then... But I'm picking up the tip okay?"

Fred threw his hands up in mock surrender. "Fine, you got the tip. But we're covering everything else, including transportation. I can go get Cliff at any time."

"Very cool..." Jezabel nodded and drifted again... She bit her lip but decided to ask..."Fred, you were acting really um, upset, the other day at Granny's... Is something up?"

Fred stopped with a foot raised and turned to face Jez. "... the other day? At... That?" He ran a hand through his hair self-consciously. "About that... Look, sometimes I just get overly stressed on things, and... sometimes... I can't control my anger."

"heh, yeah I gathered that, but what happened? What made you so upset? Regina didn't come by again did she? I swear one of these day... Ugh" she didn't even finish.

"Well..." Fred took a few deep breaths. "I think Regina's already hated me. But the fact that we've hired her sister is moving me to the top of her enemy list. Also..." He rubbed his face. "I haven't gotten much sleep. Especially this one Tuesday night... Wendell called me up, I was half-asleep, I go to Granny's to find him drunk out of his mind and Ralph and Ruby nearly giggling in the corner. Not to mention... Tuesdays are probably my busiest days now."

"Fred, I'm pretty sure eventually Regina hates everyone, but if it makes you feel any better she'll probably focus her hate more on The new Sheriff..." she stopped,"Wait, Wendell and Ralph and Ruby.... Tuesday's? What happens on Tuesday's...?" Jez stopped,"Oooooh right, Dance lessons... Gotcha." she held herself together best she could and cleared her throat,"How's that going?"

"Tch, must be number two, then," he retaliated with an eyeroll. "Long story about Wendell and Ralph. Wendell's car broke down on the way home. He needed someone to pick him up. He chose me. Between the call and when I arrived, I think Ralph slipped something into his drink, because he was out of it..."
Fred sunk to the floor, leaning against a wall for support. "Honestly? I think they're going pretty good. Arch's said that the lessons have a therapeutic effect, so I'm teaching him so he can help some of his patients through dance. Which is... weird, but I'm not a professional in the field..."

She snort-laughed,"No offended to Wendell but I'm sure he had one two many drinks before you got there, but hey, if my car broke down in the middle of the night I'd be drinking too..." Jezabel sat down with him putting her arms around her knees,"Theraputic... That's kind of funny coming from Archie... But I guess he's a psychologist so..." she shook her head,"I bet that is weird..." she eyed him suspiciously, wondering if maybe there really wasn't anything more going on in his head.

"His words, not mine..." Fred kept eye contact with the floor. He honestly didn't know what was wrong with himself. All of a sudden, he felt like more energy had been drained from him than normal. Didn't help that when he visited the nunnery...
No, he wasn't even going to consider it. It was a ridiculous idea, anyway.
"At least I'm lucky," he offhandedly commented. "Archie already knew how to waltz."

"Right... So you don't know the waltz?" Jezabel blinked a little, it was difficult to talk to someone who stared at the floor. At this point she couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy, whatever was eating him was clearly taking its toll.

Fred looked at Jezabel. "Maybe not?" he answered in a timid voice. "I dunno... Slow dances haven't ever been my thing, Jez. I was honestly surprised when Archie told me he actually knew how to do it. ... heh," he let out some sort of odd chuckle. "I'd even asked him if he'd teach me how..."
