[Muffled, in the sleeve:]

Qingxuan, you have a store up here.

[shiftingwinds]

A store?

[she laughs]

It's just a few things I might need!

[commedia]

[STILL MUFFLED:]

Do you really need a set of dice?

[shiftingwinds]

I use them for drinking games.

[commedia]

...

Are the jugs also for drinking games?

[shiftingwinds]

...no, that's mostly just if I want to drink but I'm not near a place that serves alcohol.

[commedia]

Is that often?

[shiftingwinds]

...I often want to drink, yes.

[commedia]

[Disgruntled and muffled:]

Qingxuaaaaan...didn't people scold you for drinking too much on the base?

[shiftingwinds]

...that was one time, in a very specific circumstance!

I'm hardly likely to get thrown into an execution ring the next day if I have a drink or ten, now.

[...shouldn't that be "a drink or two"...]

[commedia]

...

[HmmmmmMMM?]

Or ten?

[shiftingwinds]

Yes! Why limit myself to just one or two?

[she's the worst.]

[commedia]

[pulls their head out of the sleeve]

[flicks her forehead]

[shiftingwinds]

[she yelps and puts a hand over her forehead]

What? Why?!

[commedia]

You drink too much. It's not healthy.

[shiftingwinds]

[pouting:]

I don't drink too much! I drink just enough. And I'm perfectly healthy. I can't even remember the last time I had so much as a cold! It was probably more than five hundred years ago!

[commedia]

That doesn't excuse anything! And it isn't about colds!

[>8I]

Its just...not a good feeling to be drunk all the time, you know?

[shiftingwinds]

...really? I find it quite pleasant.

[idiot.]

But I also have a high tolerance for alcohol! It takes a lot for me to even feel a... what do they call it? A buzz!

[commedia]

That doesn't mean you need to drink every hour of every day! Or...whatever you do!

[A huff! And then they just close their eyes.]

I drink to make myself forget things. If you drink all the time...is there a lot of things you want to forget?

[shiftingwinds]

I don't drink every hour of every day. Just when I feel like it! And I do it because I like how it tastes!

[her brow furrows in concern, though.]

...what were you trying to forget tonight?

[commedia]

You like how alcohol tastes?

[And then a thoughtful look...before shaking their head, embracing her a little tighter.]

You know? I don't remember. Guess alcohol did the trick.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, yes! If it's good alcohol, it won't taste terrible.

[she says, as if it's the simplest thing in the world. when they tighten their embrace, she shifts a little, but stays settled.]

...well, I suppose that's good, then...?

[if they wanted to forget something, it's better if they can't remember it!]

[commedia]

I don't know...

[A low huff. They don't think alcohol tastes all that good, great quality or not, but...fine.]

I think you did the trick, too.

[shiftingwinds]

...I'm not sure if it's good that I make you forgetful, but I'm glad I could help?

[she smiles and snuggles up to them.]

[commedia]

No, not like that.

[A shake of the head - or well, as much as they can shake their head, snuggled up like this.]

Like Ryan, you make the bad things go away.
