[it's almost natural now, just how easily he slips between personas. with hayley's question comes a grin, amusement clear despite just what they'd been talking about. the moment was there, and now it's gone, and she's given him the opening to fall back on to more comfortable behaviors. sometimes it's easier to pretend that nothing can touch you. that nothing matters.]

Pouring herself a healthy amount, she pushes the glass aside and fills the other with a bid of modesty.
Hayley will bring Isaac the glass and hand it to him.]
I have others... if scotch isn't the right fit for you.
