He can't help it! He rambles when drunk, and he's drunk. He'll tell him all kinds of things. He'd be terrible in a drunken interrogation. This is by far too unfair.

He looks at the other with a unsure look, then he shrugs. I assume I'm attracted to both. That should be good enough, right?" He was dead before he could do anything about it after all.

And more drinks? Well, he wont argue that if it makes Klaus stop looking. See? Ben thinks he's smart. Drinks means that Klaus is off the topic, so he winces, then sucks it up and says "Sure, another drink, though I don't know if I can manage more shots. They taste terrible."

Oh Ben, honey, you should have taken the shots.
