[ shiro slips out of keith's grasp and suddenly the situation goes from mortifying to .... fascinating? that's likely the entirely wrong reaction to be having here, but keith can't help watching with some morbid curiosity as to how this is all going to unfold.
intervening and getting shiro out of the bar is unquestionably the right move here, but seeing their roles reversed is a little surreal. where keith wouldh ave just gone for the less talking, more action route of smashing a fist into jeremy's jaw, shiro goes for a more subtle kind of intimidation, huh? again, nothing about the scene should be cathartic, but maybe his lizard brain likes the way jeremy squirms on his barstool.
jeremy's eyes stay on the bar where the wood is splintering, face slightly pale. his two friends have gone similarly quiet, suddenly looking anywhere but jeremy and shiro-ward. when the jokester manages to find his voice again, his demeanors shifted to ingratiating. listen buddy, i'm all out of jokes. how bout i get you a drink and we forget about this whole thing, huh?
frowning, keith steps forward, largely to keep shiro from having more drink. ]
He'll pass. C'mon, Shiro.
[ keith tugs at a sleeve gently, fixing jeremy with a glare. jereny titters, what are you, his nanny? ]
