She stepped over to the desk, setting the gun down on his desk. "You dropped this."

Mac stared at the gun, looking shocked and a little disgusted. "I... dropped that?" he asked, annoyed. What the hell had been wrong with him last night?

"That is true," he muttered, leaning back in his chair and wincing at the movement. He could have dropped his straight razor for instance. Or had a lung fall out. "Well, I would return your towel ta you but I fear it's past savin'."

He inclined his head at that. "I'm quite fond of it. Maybe if I was feelin' a bit better I could give you a grand tour."

"Should be fine in a week or so," he said, voice forcibly casual. "Though," he added, thinking about it for a moment. "Should be better before then, but I'm hostin' a New Years Ball. You can certainly come ta that. See the hotel at it's most gaudy."
