[hairrowing]

guess I can agree with that last part, yeah.

[gunslingerqueen]

gladi ive got a really serious question for you. 100% importance

[hairrowing]

what is it?

[gunslingerqueen]

do you wanna
get milkshakes with the burgers

[Delving into the hard hitting queries while sitting on the sidewalk and at least more hungry than clearly drunk now.]

[hairrowing]

[the most hard hitting question of the century]

yeah, that sounds good.

[gunslingerqueen]

yay!!!!!! MILKSHAJE BUDDIES!

[Wait one more time:]

mlikshaek

[Dammit!]

MILSHAVE

[Oh for the love of-]

THAT ONE WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO THEWORD STUPID PHONE

[hairrowing]

yes, it was only the phone.

[gunslingerqueen]

who else could it be!!!!!!

[hairrowing]

your clumsy fingers.

[gunslingerqueen]

excuse u i am the most graceful of the gracing lionesssses that's ever graced the planet!

[hairrowing]

well miss lioness of grace, why don't you just keep sitting there with grace. i think i can see you

[gunslingerqueen]

Ohhhhfff!

[The text is weird because she's begun waving her arms excitedly.]

You're here!!!!!

[Or she's shouting on a sidewalk near a corner store. Either way.]

[hairrowing]

[at the shout, Gladion immediately picks up the pace to shorten the distance, and when he gets to her side he sighs]

I'm here, just calm down.

[gunslingerqueen]

No!

[Said so cheerfully that the "♥" practically materializes itself in the air!]

I am ungovernable and my joy will not be contained! [And this is the less drunken state! The wobbly, if very tired smile gives her away, she'll crash in due time.]

[hairrowing]

[if it did show up in the air he'd skillfully dodge it]

Are you sure you'll make it to get shakes? You look like you'll drop at any second.

[gunslingerqueen]

Yeah! Yeah, I'll be fine! It's been a long night.

[Both hands, adorned with faded, blinking little glow rings and a smudged phone number on an inner arm, reach out to him. Her fingers scrunching in the air in a sort of help me up! way, which is complicated since her phone is half tucked in one palm.]

Les go!

[hairrowing]

[a sigh, though its fond, and tossed with a little roll of his eyes. he offers her his hands in turn, a little scarred, a little rough, but ready to help]

Alright, alright. Don't expect me to carry you back, though.

[gunslingerqueen]

Gladi, [She reaches up to him, hums pleasantly at the feel of his hands, he's warm and real and there, and ... Was worried about her. It means a lot. But his assistance is most helpful at the get-go, once she's up, she's up!] I would never ask you to break your spine like that!

[Rubbing at her eyes with one hand even as she yawns.]

Did I interrupt your work or something?

[Time to get sensible, which means thinking through the cotton haze in her head. Now that she's not being a brat, that Nariko can stand perfectly fine and (mostly) focus is nearly impressive.]

[hairrowing]

You're not that heavy.

[probably? he does keep close, though, just in case she wobbles over or something.]

Hmmm? No, you didn't.

[gunslingerqueen]

We can try a bridal carry another day. [The most convincing sign of her incoming sobriety and matching hangover is resisting the desire to remind him that her boobs are bigger than a third of his body mass. Maturity!]

Oh, that's good. Sorry about the trouble.

[Her high heels are such a bad idea, there is definitely some weebling and wobbling.]

Hey, by the way what's a Pokemon?

[hairrowing]

I told you, it's no trouble.

[is he going to have to....give her his shoes-- no that wouldn't work, he can't walk in heels. hmm]

A Pokemon? They're many different species of creatures that live alongside people, in some regions of the world.

[gunslingerqueen]

So they're not going to eat me.

[Presumably. No one let her near a Gyarados. What's more worrying is that something is clearly on her mind.]

And that group you mentioned before-

[brb, too busy falling with a shrieked out eep!]

[hairrowing]

Well-- ...just be careful either way.

[he won't lie and say they won't.]

What a-- Nariko what the hell!?

[he's so shocked he barely grabs her before she falls on her head, at least]

[gunslingerqueen]

Sorry, sorry, I'm fine!!

[... She is not, there's a very real moment where it seems like Nariko might vomit, even as she holds onto him a bit tightly. Her eyes screw shut and she attempts real, deep breathes for a second or two.]

... But I made a decision [Is this really the time to bring it up? No. Anyway:] I think I'm tired of running away from him, y'know?

[That was how they'd met, so somehow it felt right to tell him as much. Maybe assuage him that outside of this hiccup, she was going to stop being childish and upset.]

Oh my god why am I so dizzy!

[Maybe it was the two bottles of alcohol.]

[hairrowing]

[oh, right, that. he hadn't forgotten, but he'd been so occupied with rubbing Nariko's back gently that for a moment Gladion had no idea what she'd been talking about]

That's all well and good, but maybe you should make plans when you feel better. We should find you some water.
