Except Alec doesn't quite consider it a rejection. Luci had cast enough doubt in his alcohol-fuzzed brain to make it seem like the rational thing to do, not showing up. The morning after, sobriety made it all seem further away than ever. He had assumed that Richard would have been as drunk as he had been.
He still ignored most of the warning, with a scoffing laugh and only the merest glance behind.
Of course, that was followed by a huge stumble followed by a tumble as his feet tangled with each other in their hurry to get away. Alec scuttled further away on the ground, towards Richard because that seemed the best way to go. If for no other reason than it allowed a 50/50 chance that the thing would chase Richard.
... except this was a prank by Cosmic Indulgence, wasn't it? Damn it.
