[Mingle] Sunday Night, Asphodel Bar

Despite the popular draw of alcohol, the local bar didn't see much regular service. If people wanted a good time, with lots of food and karaoke, they went down to that one place down near the port, and ordered a drink there. And besides that, only a small handful bothered at all, when it felt like everybody worked every single day. Who had the time?

Except this weekend the whole town had gone off its rocker, and if there was anything all of them could use, it was an escape. Unfortunately, it was having questionable results. The later it got, the more people screamed at the games showing on the televisions, or sobbed into their cups, or just outright punched someone who looked at them the wrong way.

Too bad the staff looked too frayed themselves to bother kicking the last sort out.

Etienne kept his arm around her to keep her steady. Even if she said she wasn't sick, he didn't know if he should really believe that.

"This isn't a really good place to stop, though..." Not if they're going to sit, relax, and get her hydrated again. But it was a store... "Do you want to go in, though?"
blackshadow: Eyes closed and sighing. (sigh [:|])

Sighing, Etienne realized he didn't really feel like fighting with her.

"All right... We'll get something here, then. Come on." He kept his arm around her shoulders to keep her steady as he pulled the door open for them. "We can relax in the park afterwards..."

...She was like a big kid. He guessed anyone that's drunk would be, but it still made Etienne feel even more tired.

"You don't have to--I'm fine..." he told her. "I probably shouldn't be drinking to forget anyway." Being with her took his mind off everything else, too. "We should just get some water and relax now..."
blackshadow: A false smile. (oops made a girl cry [:')])

Etienne isn't considerate enough to care that she's standing in the middle of a lane, just like how he wasn't considerate enough to watch what he had said. It wasn't that he was judging her so much as himself.

"There are always computer games," he suggested with a lopsided smile. "My friends always used to joke about how much more fun they'd be if you played them drunk..."

As he said that, though, he hugged her closer and tried to tug her towards the coolers along the wall.
blackshadow: Looking over to the side. (to the right [:|] [:o])

"I own some," which is why he mentioned it, though he hadn't really intended to invite some strange, drunk girl over.

But it would probably be responsible to.

"If you want to come over to my place until you sober up, we won't need to stand out in the cold..."
