Then at least stop fussing.

That's Shine's job.

...It's usually my job.

[but she sits down on the floor and leans against the wall]

[No. You are not sitting on the floor after being exploded. Please.

Grabs a couple blankets from the pile and tosses them in her direction]

Then if you must.

I don't have to. I just don't know what else to do.

[she wraps the blanket around herself.]

[Goes to sit down next to her]

Nothing. You can do nothing, you know. For just one night.

...

[lets out a breath slowly and pulls some of the blanket over him]

...

B says I should get you drunk.

[she makes an attempt to get a lighthearted tone into her voice]

. . .

[Now he just looks suspicious]

Why?

Because you're cute when you're drunk, apparently.

[Huffs]

I'm not cute ever. And especially not when I'm drunk.

Maybe you should prove it.

Are you providing the drinks? Or do I need to buy them?

I could get it, but you just told me to do nothing.

On me then,

[Pulling out his phone]

So. What kind of alcohol do you like?

...Sweet things. I've drank Mudslides a couple of times.

Why am I not surprised?

[Going to be making a couple of purchases then before moving to stand]

I'll be right back.

Alright.

[she tugs the blanket a bit more around her to wait]

[Comes back and puts down a bottle of rosé wine in front of her. He's bought another bottle of scotch for himself.

Look, if you want mixed drinks, you're going to have to ask Yvette]

Should I bring a glass or does this work?

[Maybe she will later. For now this is nice. She picks up the wine bottle]

This is fine.

[Getting back under the blankets with her and wrapping an arm around her waist]

I wonder if you're a cute drunk.

[Settles in against him]

Who knows. I've only been a little drunk before, in the truth game.

[Idly stroking the fabric of her clothing]

Only a little. So did someone manage to sneak in a question you didn't want to answer? I'm impressed.

Mm... I drank once to avoid telling Hiryuu I was an assassin, I think. The rest of it wasn't forced drinking, it was just because the drinks were free and I was having a lot of embarrassing conversations.

[she takes a sip of the wine]

Oh?

[Trailing a finger up her wine bottle]

So if I keep one of these around, you'll just start drinking it when you're embarrassed. That could be fun.

A little too easy though.

[She watches his finger a little longer than necessary.]

It's not that easy. I don't mean normal-level embarrassing.

Please. As if I do normal-levels of anything.

[But hmmmm interesting.

He continues trailing his finger up along the neck of the bottle now]

So if I ask a question, you'll answer?
