[Yeah that SURE IS... real. He laughs a little himself, shoulders raising.]

Just know that if you do ever want to talk about the things that are less than happy, I'm here to listen, you know? [He wants! To help!!

But for now, he'll let the subject drop, reaching out to tap the back of her hand.]

—Next time I'm out this late, I should bring back a snack, hm?

[uncurtained]

[After a moment:]

It's not too late, you know. I could go for a midnight snack.

[givethemhell]

[He is absolutely perking up a little at that. Food? Food?? He could eat, god, lord knows they've all burned off their share of calories already this week.]

What are you in the mood for?

[uncurtained]

[After a few moments:]

You know what sounds really good right now? Chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven.

[givethemhell]

[There is absolutely a sparkle in his lil demon eye at the mention of fresh cookies...]

Ah! I've never had that kind before, but I had one of the cookies Taako made fresh out of the oven, once. That was wonderful!

[So predictably he's on his feet in a hotass second, turning to hold a hand out toward her.]

Shall we?

[uncurtained]

...Do you want to grab a bottle of something on the way?

[Tipsy baking seems like the only appropriate way for this night to go.]

[givethemhell]

[He's never gonna turn down the opportunity to drink, so:]

Sure! Your pick, alright? Anything you'd like!

[uncurtained]

[With absolutely no hesitation:]

Tequila.

[Sometimes it just be like that. Anyways, with that, she's taking his hand and heading towards the door.]

[givethemhell]

[Sometimes as in every day on the murder sexboat.]

Hah! What a decisive pick. Alright, then - tequila it is!

[They will hold hands on their way to tequila hell, apparently.]

[uncurtained]

[yeets them into the future as they come into the kitchen

She sets the bottle down on the counter as she starts to open it.]

Do you know how to bake at all?

[She's assuming not, but.]

[givethemhell]

[TIPSYYY BAKING AHOY.]

I do! [SHOCKING.] ...Well, a little, anyway. I've watched Taako make things plenty of times! And I helped someone make cookies, once.

[It was Dimitri which is why he doesn't state the name directly... RIP sweet prince.]

Not sure if that knowledge will actually do much good if we're trying to make something that isn't a lumpy mess, though.

[uncurtained]

Well, as long as it's a tasty lumpy mess...

[As she tries to think of what they'll need to make these, she follows her excellent priorities and grabs two shot glasses first.]

[givethemhell]

[Is this not the key ingredient to drunk baking?? He crowds over while she's pouring, clearly excited to start this midnight good choices train.]

Wouldn't know, didn't actually try any of them! They smelled alright, at least? Nowhere near as good as some of the other things people have made, but a snack is a snack.

[uncurtained]

Well, I'll make an effort to make ours not lumpy.

[With a smile, she holds a full shot glass out to him, clinking her glass against his.]

Cheers.

[And then she downs it.]

[givethemhell]

[CLINK AND TANK. That sure is... tequila. He looks a little surprised, glancing at the bottle.]

Haha, that's a distinctive taste, isn't it? Not bad!

[uncurtained]

[Once she's done making a face at how strong it is, she looks his way, surprised.]

Oh, wow, you've never had it before? What do you think?

[She's

already pouring more.]

[givethemhell]

[THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA BECAUSE HE HAS NO SELF-CONTROL WHEN IT COMES TO GOOD DRINKS IN GOOD COMPANY they're gonna fuckin set the oven on fire.]

I like it! Can't remember any other drinks that have tasted quite the same. Is this a favorite of yours?

[uncurtained]

[As she takes another shot and hands him his:]

Yeah, it’s pretty good. Ooh, have you ever had a margarita? If not, I’m totally making you one later.

[As she says that, she’s dipping into the pantry really quick to grab the dry ingredients.]

[givethemhell]

[TANKIN THAT SHOT TOO hoo boy.]

I haven't! If this is in there, you should make me two!

[god i hate him

He's also trotting after her to start fishing the wet ingredients out of their fridge! What he remembers, anyway, which is just eggs and milk.]

[uncurtained]

Hm... If you grab me a lime, maybe I’ll take you up on that.

[She says, as she

pours another round of shots, before grabbing a mixing bowl.]

[givethemhell]

[They're both gonna fuckin die. He slams back that shot too, and then moseys over to the pantry to rummage around for a lime... Just leaving her to do the actual work here like a SCRUB I GUESS.]

Need anything else outside of limes? And do we have all of the cookie ingredients?

[uncurtained]

Can you grab the butter? Oh, and some salt.

[google tells me you need orange liqueur but she's not making him go back to any bar so these are not going to be margaritas as much as tequila with lime juice and salt,

Either way, she takes the next shot. It's definitely starting to effect her by now.]

[givethemhell]

Mm, got it! Just a second--

[RUMMAGE RUMMAGE eventually he meanders back over with the lime, salt, butter, and a handful of peanuts?? Where did those come from. He bumps into her shoulder as he dumps it all on the counter, but it's not tipsy clumsiness so much as on-the-way-to-tipsy friendliness.]

Anything else? What now?

[uncurtained]

[She might not know where they came from, but she’s definitely giving an excited “ooh” when she sees them, reaching out to nab one.]

Did you get vanilla extract?

[She pours another shot into the glasses, missing a little bit and splashing some onto the counter. It’s fine.]

[givethemhell]

[They are just out here eating these peanuts that were magicked out of some dark place I GUESS.]

Eh-- Wait, what? Did you ask for that?

[SCRATCHING HIS HEAD he can't remember?! He pauses to look through his robes, as if he might have stuffed it in there and just forgotten about it.]
