[ he doesn’t respond, but he does answer the door quickly! Still wobbly but clearly unhurt. Just holding a giant bottle of water. ]

Korone! Um - I’ll get some tea and stuff.

[bluediligence]

[ She does, in fact, give him a GOOD THOROUGH LOOK OVER, only relaxing once she's sure he's not hurt ]

Hey, Hunter-kun. I've, uhm, I've got painkillers with me if you need any.

[pyrighteous]

[ This is 100% consequences and 0% injuries.

He nods and winces. ]

I - yeah. Please? Mouse has some too, but I forgot where they are and don’t want to wake anyone up.

[bluediligence]

[ Digs into the cloth bag she sewed to act as a makeshift emergency medkit ]

Here we go. [ Pill bottle, get. Offers it over to him. ] Take two for now, and - let's go sit down.

[pyrighteous]

[ He takes them with a swig of water from his mug, grateful. And then heads back towards the main room. There’s a clear blanket nest on one end of the sectional where Hunter clearly passed out last night. ]

Thanks Korone. I really need to be more careful at those parties.

[bluediligence]

You're welcome.

[ taking the initiative to flop down. it doesn't feel quite as rude to be Casual now. ]

First time drinking?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter is glad to flop too. He passes her one of the many cardinal cushions. ]

Second or third? But this new stuff in Finch’s fountain is WAY stronger.

[bluediligence]

[ yeeeees bird plush to hug!! immediately cuddles it ]

What was it? I was only there for five or ten minutes, so ...

[pyrighteous]

They called it … suck-hay, I think? I had three glasses.

[ Glasses. Of sake. ]

[bluediligence]

[ CHOKES ]

I, I'm sorry, what? Sake? And you had three glasses. Glasses.

[ she doesn't raise her voice at all but holy shit ]

[pyrighteous]

… is that a lot?

[bluediligence]

That's a lot. No wonder you're having a time.

[ p. pls. please. ]

Cups for drinking sake are traditionally smaller. [ tries to demonstrate with her hands. ] Around this size.

[pyrighteous]

……

Oh. That. Explains a lot. I REALLY need to be more careful.

[bluediligence]

Not your fault.

[ Leans slightly against his shoulder ]

Maybe do a quick double-check with someone you know is responsible next time you're offered a drink? It could save you a hangover.

[pyrighteous]

Y-yeah. In retrospect, Jesper was maybe not the right person to ask.

[bluediligence]

He's the type who likes a drink, huh ...

[pyrighteous]

He's way more advanced at having fun than I am, that's for sure.

[ Flapjack blows a raspberry from the back of the couch. ]

[bluediligence]

First of all: no.

Second of all: still no.

Third, you're one of my favourite people here to have fun with, so there. [ NYEH ]

[pyrighteous]

I - um - thank you? But I meant it as a literal thing. Like. He definitely knows what he's doing.

I have almost ZERO practice.

[bluediligence]

I'd call it exposure rather than practice, personally. Fun is too subjective for grading.

[pyrighteous]

Anything can be graded if you have a complex enough rubric.

[bluediligence]

I-

[ oh no

oh no now she's giggling ]

Sorry, sorry, I'm not laughing at you, promise. It's just, you really sounded like Donnie-kun for a second there.

[pyrighteous]

[ REddens!! ]

Donnie is very sensible sometimes! I understand him!

[bluediligence]

It's not a criticism! Not at all.

I can see why you guys clicked.

[pyrighteous]

Y-yeah. I think - neither of us are used to being understood.
