[Yeah but this is important, he thinks, so. Notes.

He just nods to her agreement.

He listens to that, playing with the rim of the glass he'd had last and getting the extra sugar on it off, as she speaks and then suddenly she seems a lot closer and he stops messing with the rim, and listens again.]

A... ...what? Hey how long were you drinking before I got here. Because I think if you're not making sense you should probably be at home.

[mightbeconcussed]

[He's very sweet.

She gnaws on her bottom lip, pulling back to look at Harry.] I'm totally making sense. [She pauses a moment, sober enough to realize that this could be bad, but still trying to decide if she wants to push it. Her brow furrows. Right. He doesn't like one night stands. She sighs, cups his face with both hands and leans in to kiss him on the mouth. It's not a long kiss, more just a press of her lips against his before she releases him]

You really aren't a one night stand guy, are you?

[She sounds a little sad and pouty as she says it. She thinks she is making a huge sacrifice by trying not to seduce you, Harry.]

[captainfuckingmagic]

[She is totally not making sense. To him, anyway. Either way, he opens his eyes and looks at her, vaguely confused, when she lets go and starts speaking again. He pauses, sooooooort of wishing he hadn't already had all three shots just so he could have something to do (and also because of the alcohol let's not lie).]

Not without a lot more alcohol. And once, but it was an accident. And that's not... Not..really.

[She does look sad and pouty.]

Sorry? You want another drink? Can you feel your teeth?

[mightbeconcussed]

[She sighs dramatically.]

It's okay. You warned me ahead of time you weren't a one night stand sort of guy. Yes, definitely another drink.

[She clacks her teeth together.] Still feeling my teeth and the pain of rejection. [The last is said teasingly.]

Tell me you love me in a purely platonic way, Harry. And that I'm pretty. Please. You can also throw in that if you were a one night stand sort of guy, you would totally one night stand me. But the last part only if you want to.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[He will dutifully go ahead and order 'something sweet' for her and something normal for himself. Probably just whatever she had before she got the shots.]

I think you'll probably be able to get over me, honey. [Also teasing; volley back.] Besides, there's... You know. Some others to chose from. Not that I'm advocating - just that you're all fiery and pretty and... Well, more than a little drunk, which sad to say helps the whole appeal for some people. But even without it, you know. [Quick, drink.]

[mightbeconcussed]

[Mint Juleps. She thanks him, sighs and leans against him. This is the touchy portion of the evening. Not that she's not normally fairly touchy.]

I could burn a torch...carry a torch. I could carry a torch and make an altar in my closet. You never know, Harry. [She's teasing. She wouldn't. Probably. I mean she did when she was in high school but didn't everyone at one time? That's normal. Right?]

Other what's to choose from? Boys? Or options? And what options are we talking or boys for that matter. Are you trying to pimp me out, Harry? Yes. Drunk. I like drunk. It's fun.

i changed it because that was the wrong icon ENTIRELY

[captainfuckingmagic]

[That's right. Mint juleps. He sits up straight when she leans on him. Not sure how long that'll actually last though.]

If you carry a torch into your closet you'll probably just burn your house down. [Hey, he carried a torch until like, a year ago, so. Normal?]

No, see, that was where the not-advocating came in, because I was so not advocating that you go looking for another... partner, or anything, just that sometimes having the option makes you feel better about not doing it. Or something. I'm a big, you know, cosmic picture and stuff.

I UNDERSTAND

[mightbeconcussed]

[It won't really deter her either way.]

Definitely would rather not burn my house down. I have the coolest flat in the City. [Eh...well, Lucy wouldn't really think so but yes?]

So I'm supposed to feel better about not doing it 'cause I can do it? [That is a confused look on her face. She is too drunk for this.] I could always do it, Harry. I just chose to be a good girlfriend instead of a sucktastic ho-bag because that hurts when you do that to someone you like.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ He listens to that with an increasingly confused look. ]

That's... That's not what I said. Tonight-partner not like, ... partner partner. You know. Because you need two people. Wasn't talking anything about doing it in a relationship - I just meant... You know. Tonight stuff. [ He's not drunk enough. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

Oh. [Confusion on her face says she still doesn't really get it.]

So we should have a 'Yay! Lucy isn't a whore tonight' celebratory drink?

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ Lucy what even. ] How are you doing that - you're taking like, all the words I say and translating them into something I didn't say at all. Where the hell did 'whore' come in; I never said that. I mean, we can have a celebratory over something drink, but not that, okay?

[mightbeconcussed]

Oh! No! I didn't mean like you thought whore. That was my own application of the word to me. [Her self esteem issues are a lot harder to hide when she's smashed.]

We should have a celebratory drink over you being a knight in shining armor.

[captainfuckingmagic]

That's... [ That's not any better, actually. Sort of. At least it's not something he said now. ] Why?

Well I'm not going to say no to either one of those, even if I think your definitions are a little off. In all directions.

[mightbeconcussed]

Why? [Give her a second to catch up.] OH! Well because I sleep around. Sex is fun and if i can make sure I'm not going to get hurt in the process by doing the whole not getting attached thing, why shouldn't I sleep around? Everyone else says whore. I say taking care of Lucy.

Pfffft we've had this conversation. I get to apply adjectives and stereotypes to you.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ He handwaves, downing the rest of his glass. ]

Yeah, yeah, you get to call me whatever you want. I remember.

[mightbeconcussed]

[Beaming smile. She likes you, Harry.]

You are very quickly learning the way things work in Lucy Land. I think you're way above average on these things.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ He turns to grin at her a little bit. ] The way things work in Lucyland is pretty straightforward, I think. It's kinda nice.

[mightbeconcussed]

I'm pretty upfront about how things are. I like things my way and I can't expect people to do anything my way if I don't tell them about it.

[captainfuckingmagic]

See that's really logical and makes a lot of sense, which is probably why most people don't seem to understand that general concept.

[ Also he's ordering himself another drink now. One that isn't really sweet, not that he didn't like those. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

I am a brilliant, logical mind, Harry. Also, spoiled but I don't think that's a bad thing.

[She's sipping on her Mint Julep and still leaning against him.]

[captainfuckingmagic]

My mom'd say that's a bad thing. She wasn't a big fan of spoiled kids. I think that's mostly just Taylor and Tyler Tuckers' faults though, with the daycare shit. And even I agreed and I was like, six. They were assholes. You - [ prod ] - not an asshole. Maybe there's a good kind of spoiled. Like just, over-ripe or something.

[ So maybe he's apparently starting to be hit by all the alcohol at once. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

[She giggles a bit at the prod.] So glad I'm not an asshole. It's actually a goal of mine. Don't be an asshole today.

[That's usually how it works.] Do you miss home, Harry? I miss home sometimes.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ This question takes him slightly be surprise. ]

Uhhh. I mean. I don't know, there's shit about home that I miss, sure, but aside from Harry and... sort of Harmony, I don't really think I had much going on. And here... I maybe got a little more happening here - weirdly - so, you know. I'm pretty cool either way. Are you talking about just, home home, or the whole planet type home? I mean either way my answer's the same, I think, but, yeah.

[mightbeconcussed]

Just home home. Not as attached to the planet except that it has home on it. [She ponders the whole idea of it.]

I think there's stuff about home that I miss too. I loved here when Jill was here.

I just noticed I said Harry in the other one when I meant Perry.

[captainfuckingmagic]

Who's Jill?
