[ no :) ALSO HELLO HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE DRUNK ONE HERE, STOP SHOWING HIM UP!!!
He's too far from his own drink to immediately follow her lead in downing his own drink but never fear, the prompt for her second gift brings him close enough to the table that he takes a pit stop to (also) down his drink before grabbing the second smaller box and handing it over.
It's been a long time since he's had so much alcohol in such quick succession, and he can definitely feel the heat both down his throat as well as across his ears and face.
He does look uncharacteristically sober as he hands it over, frowning slightly. ]
For the record, you don't have to wear this one.
[ the way i realized too late i had the link open in a tab on my laptop...tearfully searches for a replacement. It's just a pair of earrings, nothing fancy, except that they're modified versions of the tracker rings. Sometimes you have too many commitment issues to spring for rings. ]
They come with tracking functionality. You can wear both as an accessory, or give one to someone important if something like an important mission comes up and you're worried about the risk of separation.
[ THEY CAN BE TWO STUPID DRUNKS TOGETHER??? skill issue, babe.......
but that can wait for later. they're nothing fancy, but it's another piece of jewelry wriothesley had picked out for her regardless. it's enough to make her heart swell twice as big as she lunges forward to embrace him, her voice breathless and happy. ]
Thank you... Thank you.
[ are things allowed to be this... nice? is she allowed to have a stable if dangerous job in a new world that allows her to be freer than she can ever hope to be in the City, in a base full of people she's come to like as friends, hobbies that she hopes to be serious with, and a boyfriend she really likes who's pretty good to her? because she definitely hasn't stacked up this much good karma over the past twenty-seven or so years. not even close, and she kind of wonders what the catch is.
...
nope! not entertaining that thought right now. it's her birthday, dammit. she pulls away a bit to beam at him from ear to ear. ]
I mean, it'd still look good on you if I make you wear it. We'd match. [ matching earrings... let her have this. ] But you'll be fine with this, I'm sure. Because I won't let you out of my sight.
