[hyanaimne]

[both eyebrows go up as well, and she lifts the bottle to finish the rest of hers off]

[grandstanding]

[setting the empty bottle on the floor, that certainly is washing over him now.

...picking up the next one.]

[hyanaimne]

[watches him; she's leaning against him again, and . . . well, it's obvious it's starting to really hit her.

Very seriously:]

I like drinking with you, Erik.

[grandstanding]

[blinks, and smiles a bit.]

I like drinking with you too, Aurae.

[hyanaimne]

[oh gosh, lights up]

You remembered it.

[grandstanding]

Of course I did.

[hyanaimne]

[uwah '^' Ducks her head]

You are the only one who has called me that.

[grandstanding]

Well... I wasn't sure you wanted that.

[hands her the new bottle]

[hyanaimne]

[takes it]

I do not mind. But no one has asked.

[grandstanding]

[fishing out the last bottle :x]

I'll use it sometimes then.

[hyanaimne]

Okay. When I use your name?

[grandstanding]

Yes. That sounds good.

[hyanaimne]

I would like that.

[grandstanding]

Me too.

[uncorks his bottle]

[hyanaimne]

[all the stupid dere feelings. Uncorks hers]

[grandstanding]

Ah... hm. If you need to stay here a while because of... [gestures vaguely at the bottles they are about to go to town on] ...then it's fine.

[hyanaimne]

[blinks, glancing down as he gestures, then back at him]

You do not mind . . . ?

[grandstanding]

It's only morning... you could probably make it home before nighttime.

[hyanaimne]

I probably could . . .

[grandstanding]

Otherwise we have spare beds at the moment...

[hyanaimne]

. . . it would not feel right taking them. I will be fine . . . I did sleep last night, after a while.

[grandstanding]

All right.

[welp, I reminded myself that we have spare beds. starts drinking from the new bottle.]

[hyanaimne]

[leans against 8( and starts on her own bottle]

[grandstanding]

[go away, feelings!!]

[hyanaimne]

I keep trying to convince myself that they are safer in there . . .
