Tipsy

After several hours at the celebration, Ria and Kael head back to his house. Kael is surprised to find that he had a great time, though much of that can be credited to the lovely redhead on his arm. As always, he finds it hard not to smile when he’s with her, and he’s glad that the two of them are back together again.

Kael opens the door to his house, and immediately hears a gasp from within. Gabby, who had been sitting on the couch beside Evie, stands up, panic in her big blue eyes. On the table in front of them is a mostly empty bottle of wine and a pair of glasses.

Gabby starts talking, clearly scared. “Sir! You’re back! I’m so sorry, we should have asked. We’ve never had wine before, and it was just sitting there, and you said that we could…and Evie said it was okay…and…”

Kael laughs, interrupting her. “It’s fine, Gabby. I told you, you’re my guest here.”

Evie finally looks up, a crooked smile on her face. “Mashter, you’re home! We…I think I like thish…is good. Feels fuzzy…”

Ria chuckles. “I’d say she’s pretty drunk.”

Kael nods. “Agreed. How much did she drink, Gabby?”

Gabby, seeming to calm down, just shrugs. “About the same as me, sir. But she’s much smaller, so…”

Evie stands up, wobbly on her feet, and staggers over to Kael, nearly tripping over the table on the way. She puts her hands on his chest, still grinning as she looks up at him.

“You’re sho hot, mashter…we should have sex. C’mon, pleeeeease? It feels….mmmm, I love it, mashter…”

Kael blushes, and Ria laughs. “Well, at least she’s in a good mood!”

Evie seems to notice Ria for the first time. “Ohhh, mish Ria…you should come too. Wanna try it with a girl. You’re as hot as mashter is, too…”

She looks up at Kael, leaning in as if to whisper, though she doesn’t speak any quieter. “Gabby ish hot too, mashter. She let me shqueeze her boobs!”

Evie giggles, and Gabby shrugs. “She wanted to feel them, so I said sure.”

Evie nods, nearly falling over. “They’re….shoooo big, and squishy. I like Gabby. She’s pretty.”

Kael chuckles. “She is, yes.”

Evie pouts, looking down at herself. “Mine are little, mashter. Ish that okay?”

Kael strokes Evie’s green hair. “You’re beautiful, Evie. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

“Yay!”

Evie hugs Kael tightly. Ria laughs. “You should probably get her to bed. I’ll see you tomorrow?”

Kael nods, bending down and scooping Evie up in his arms. The drunk elf giggles. “You’re sho strong mashter! I love you shoooo much.”

Kael smiles. “I love you too, Evie. We should get you to bed, though. Say good night to everyone.”

Evie smiles as well. “Good night everyone! My mashter is taking me to bed!”

Kael rolls his eyes, and leans over to give Ria a kiss. Evie wriggles in his arms. “Me too!”

Ria laughs, and gives her a peck on the cheek. “You’ll get a real kiss after we get that first date, okay?”

Evie pouts, but nods. “Okay…”

Ria laughs again. “See you tomorrow, big guy. Love you!”

Kael smiles at the casual way she said it. “Love you too, Ria.”

Ria’s smile is dazzling as she heads out the door. Kael turns to Gabby. “Feel free to finish the wine. I’m going to take her to bed. Do you need anything else?”

Gabby shakes her head. “No, sir. And…thank you. For everything.”

Kael smiles. “You’re very welcome. This is your home now, remember. You’re welcome to anything here. Good night, Gabby.”

There’s a faint blush to her cheeks as she smiles back. “Good night, sir.”

For a moment, it seems like she might say more, but instead she simply watches Kael carry the giggling elf to the bedroom. However, as he closes the door, he could swear he hears her sigh, almost wistfully. He shrugs as he lays Evie down on the bed, chuckling as she yawns, and almost immediately passes out.
