[outofoffice]

Of course! If everyone is to be tipsy and jovial, wouldn't it be unfair if someone was left out?

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

And there is no particular reason for this gathering?

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

I just wanted my dear friends to get to know each other better!

[ A mischievous pause ]

Dear friends and ~love of my life~ ♪

[ Oh.

Oh wait.

He knows this one. ]

Ah, I see. You wish to introduce me to your other lovers.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

[ Oh my god ]

I decidedly don't have other lovers, Morax.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

. . . You don't?

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

Only you!

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

Oh.

[ There's a slight blush forming on his cheeks. ]

Please do not feel the need to refrain on my account.

It would only be fair considering what I have with Caeli and what I felt for Cardinal Chases Dawn before they graduated.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

Well, there's nothing for it. I don't want anyone else.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

Then I will endeavor to live up to such a gift you have given me.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

[ Morax sir ]

"Gift," huh . . .?

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

You do not see your affections as a gift? Or the honor of bestowing the exclusivity of something for one whose domain is freedom.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

Um, well . . .

[ It's his turn to look a little embarrassed now ]

I never thought about it that hard.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

I suppose when it comes so naturally to a person, it is an easy oversight to make.

[ He starts rummaging around the kitchen for suitable elegant (non-bloodied) wine glasses. ]

You have gone through all this effort.

It would be a pity to let it go to waste.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

So you'll drink with us too, right . . . ?

[ PLEADING EYES ]

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

Lupine has informed me that some of the drinks might be more...

Potent. Than others.

As long as you and Alizarin are the ones consuming those.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

Of course! I made sure to get a regular bottle of Osmanthus wine for you, silly.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

Then I shall imbibe that while I watch Alizarin drink you under the table.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

Hey! You don't even have faith in me to drink?! I thought that would be the one thing . . .

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

I don't think you've ever been properly challenged before. So allow me this the one time.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

I'm un-inviting you. You can go.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

I did not know this was how your pride could be bruised.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

[ Picks up the bottle of Osmanthus wine (the FINEST ONE HE COULD BUY!!!1) and bodily shoves it at Zhongli's chest.

Be less sober. Now. ]

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[leaveofabsence]

[ He takes it and also takes his sweet time pouring it into a proper vessel before sipping at it, carefully observing Venti's puffed out cheeks the whole time. ]

Oh my.

It really does bother you.

I suppose I can refrain from those particular remarks.

Re: Day 442, SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

[outofoffice]

[ Picking up his own drink ]

Hmph! I have to have pride in some things.
