He will undoubtedly have several many more in a moment. Mercutio had been on his way outside with Dionysus to go check on the garden, but he stops dead when he sees an incredibly familiar figure in the entryway. It's not another event, is it? Benvolio won't be torn away from him as Tybalt was? He leans in the doorway to the hall, strangely hesitant. There is not the immediate desire to taunt and play as there was with Tybalt, perhaps because he is all too aware of what happened not so long after.

Instead, he clears his throat and if Benvolio turns, he gives him a small wave, fighting to hide the smile that is threatening to burst through.
