He hasn't allowed himself to be a 'properly loose gentleman' in a while so the observation gets a small chuckle out of him. Sometimes he says shit when he's drunk - not to the extent that Klaus does even when he's stone cold sober - and while Doc has cultivated a healthy amount of patience, he can snap and say cruel things, especially when he's pissed off or too drunk to care.

Breathing out a sigh, Doc straightens up and brings his empty cup to the sink. Five miserable guys in a house trying to pretend they've made peace with the way things are. Things are bound to happen.

"I'm never as fine as I look to be, for starters." They're just doing it for the sake of the New Yorkers and they both know it. At least Doc is willing to be honest about it when it's just the two of them alone in the house. On the topic of Negan, however, he doesn't even know how to bring that up or explain it or if he even wants to.

"Negan got under my skin," is what Doc ends up saying. He sets the wet cup upside-down to dry on the rack. "That's all."
