Daniel stumbled into the kitchen and braced himself against the countertop. His vision was blurry and his thoughts fuzz from a night of drinking. He was pleasantly warm from the alcohol sloshing around in his stomach. It was a rare thing for him to be drinking as heavily as he was tonight, but Siri was staying the night with a friend and he was free to do as he wished, which happened to be drinking. He shook his head to clear it of the static obscuring his thoughts and opened the cabinet before him. His eyes narrowed slightly at the labels to keep the words from moving around so much. There were a lot of bottles to choose from, but he eventually settled upon a Fortuna Reserve and closed the cabinet. He took a step back, nearly tripping and being forced to wave his hands to regain his balance. Daniel chuckled to himself as he stumbled back to the living room. The TV was displaying a hologram of some talk show or another that had served as the background noise for the evening and the tabled in front of the couch was covered in evidence that copious amounts of alcohol had been consumed on this night. "Whelp, I think it's time for the main event," he said, displaying his newly acquired bottle. Emiko Inoue |

Numb. Finally. Emiko's head rest backwards onto the couch she sat upon. Heels had been lost a while ago. They were tossed towards the front door somewhere. Nyloned feet crossed, the rest stretched out upon the coffee table she had previously been given permission. Gods it felt wonderful to be numb. Deadlines were a blurred concept easily forgotten at the moment. Tasks, targets, required ingredients, all put on a back burner for the night. "Hm?" Emi asked as she rose her head to witness the man reenter. "Ohhhh shit," The woman laughed, "Are you serious?" Without waiting for an answer Em was already showcasing gimme gimme hands insinuating a fuck it attitude. She had been promised a safe environment to get blasted. By Gods was she going to get blasted. "I'm just gunna say now ... sorry for any drool that ends up on your couch over night. I'm going to crash so hard." Daniel CaimIf Emi was bi. Let's see where this curiosity takes us. [looks off into the distance] |

"Ah, hell, don't worry about it," Daniel said. "That couch has seen some shit over the years. A little drool ain't gonna hurt it." He smiled as he struggled his way over to the couch and plopped unceremoniously down to the cushions. It took a few fumbling tries for him to pull free the cork, allowing the powerful aroma of the brandy to escape. It was amazing to his alcohol addled brain that the alcohol managed to completely overpower the other scents lingering in the air. He carefully poured out a measure into the pair of glasses the two of them had been using for most of the night. "Ya looked like ya needed ta unwind. Nice to see ya let your hair down for once." He set the bottle down without bothering to recork it and handed one glass to his house guest before taking his own. The man took a long sip of the aged brandy, settling contently into a comfortable position. "Gotta say, I didn't know ya had it in ya. I don't get many people that can keep up with me." Emiko Inoue |

Emiko laughed at the man's words, those scarlet eyes of her following as he plopped beside her. "IIIIIIII definitely needed this. A lot." The last word was spoken with a visibly shaken smile for it only to return as the glass was offered. Taking it with manicured fingers she held it up momentarily, "Salut." And would down it immediately afterwards in a single swallow. "Ahhh~" Emi hummed with a brimming smile, leaning against the bringer of alcohol. "Of course I had-" Hiccup. "-had it in me. Sometime you need to see my liquor collection, pshhhh." "Hey, hey." Em said as she punched the man's arm lightly, "Next time? My place. Either that or I bring the good stuff. Kay?" The professor said as she held out her shot glass for an apparently refill. Daniel Caim |

Daniel couldn't help but to smile at the woman next to him as he raised his glass once again and took another drink. "Sounds like a party. It'll be nice to see how you pick your poison, little lady." He arched an eyebrow at Emiko, genuinely surprised that she was already asking for another drink.
"Slow down there, cowgirl. Yer makin' me look bad." He still reached for the brandy and poured another shot for her and topped off his own glass while he was at it. "How'm I supposed to shlow my face if it gets out that you out drank me?"

"Hmmm~" Em grinned widely as she watched the liquid rise. "When you need it, you need it." Those eyes stared drunkenly at the alcohol swish within the glass a short moment. Negative emotions threatened to arise through the duration of the spacing out. But the moment was cut off by the choice to drink more. The one thing that helped was regreeting the bottom of a recently emptied glass. "You'll get along juuuust fine. I'm sure." Em would say seconds before downing her next glass. Numb. Please numb. The pleased "Ahhh" that followed would signify that the numbing process was perhaps working its way into being successful. "You've got a- ... a good face, right? Not symmetrical but scars are seen as sexy to hetero's too I'm sure." Emi's hand would move to ask for another refill but would lower shortly afterwards. There it was. Numbness. Slumping back into the couch and into Daniel's side Em would smile softly as every part of her felt similar to a buzzing taffy. Daniel Caim |

Daniel gave a half-smile. The pleasant buzzing in his head and the compliments being thrown his way were going a long way towards lowering his guard. "Heh, you got that right. Way back when before I had Siri to take care of, I had to beat women off with a stick most nights. Dagos can get real fun if ya know where ta look. Hell, even a snooty noble woman can't resist a little danger in their lives."
He saw the hand move and was about to refill the glass clutched in it when he felt Emi's body pressing into his side. His heart thrilled at her touch but he forced the sudden spike of desire down. This wasn't the right time for this type of thing; besides, there was something that he needed to accomplish tonight.
"Finally had enough?" Daniel slurred. "Hell, took ya long enough. I thought I was about ta have ta get serious." He downed the last of his drink and set the glass and bottle down on the coffee table before gently prying the other glass from Emi's hands and setting it with its twin.

"Mhm, I thhhink so." Emiko replied to the inquiry. "Finally feeling ... numb." Em's form continued to slump into the other's as those eyes of hers closed in bliss. "Finally." The young woman felt herself nuzzle into his side before she chuckled softly. "Warned you I got like this." Indeed. There had been many conversations before this night had been allowed to transpire. Precautions. Making it very clear that sexual interactions would not be welcomed from the man. Nothing against him, it was just a female making her view points clear before alcohol was introduced and judgment could be blurred.
And yet here she was. Finally trusting another person to allow herself to get drunk with. The night had been fun after all. The drinking game while watching a tv show. The laughs. As time would be allowed to pass and further small talk would be discussed, her voice's volume would soften and soften. As well as her form would sink further and further into the other.

"Yer alright," Daniel assured. "Trust me, I've had enough nights like this to know how it goes. 'Sides, I still remember all those talks. Yer good here under my roof." Though your makin' it damn hard to keep it from goin' there, he added silently. Charming, good-looking, intelligent. What more could a man want? Try as he might not to let himself do so, Daniel found himself thinking how Emi would make a good mother for Alex despite all of the... rumors. He figured he was barking up the wrong tree though.
Now's not the time, damn it.
"Nice ta have someone ta do this with again. Hard to let people in, ya know?"

"Mmm, yes." Emiko nodded her head into the man's arm. "Very." There would be a small pause of silence following the words. Small being the key word. Laughter at a joke that only occurred to her would escape her lips. A joke indeed. What kind of person was a professor able to 'let in'? None in most respects if not all. Shaking her head, hushing herself, Em would apologize for the seemingly random act. "Sorry, it's nothing. It's nothing. Noth--" Em's eyes would open momentarily as an idea struck her. "Oh my gods, you can be my new wing man.-- Next time we're picking up ladies, kay? Because ... that's the best idea ever." A drunken nodding/nuzzling into the man's arm would follow.

: Daniel burst into a fit of laughter; he couldn't help it. He buried his face in his hand and braced his elbow on the couch arm to steady himself. Soon enough, the man was coughing and laughing in equal measure. "Hell yeah, that's the best damn thing I've heard all night!" He continued to laugh for a long time after that. He wasn't sure it would've been nearly as funny were he sober but drunk? It was like someone filled the room with laughing gas when he wasn't looking.
He finally called down enough to speak almost a minute later. "So I guess you and me are goin' for a night on the town, huh? Damn, I feel sorry for any ladies that get in our way. I'll be the dangerous bad boy and you..." He paused to give it a little extra, drunken thought. "Hell, you can just be yer sexy self and it'll be like watching flies come for a taste of the honey."

Those scarlet eyes of hers fluttered open at the explosion of laughter. The sudden shift in volume sparked her a momentary measure of being further awake. Her form felt quite heavy at this point, especially with those last few drinks starting to hit her, but Em managed to raise herself up from her previous resting against him. "What?" The professor asked with a startled laugh of her own.
Upon finally hearing the man's thoughts Emiko couldn't help but beam brightly. "Yesss! Uh, we'll hit up the gay bar downtown. I'm--" not allowed to go there often. Emi shook her head of the words that were not allowed to leave her tongue and replaced them, "I've had my best of luck there. I'll get my crowd. And you?" Em began, booping the man with a manicured finger accompanied with a mischievous grin, "You'll get the hetero friend that was dragged along and wasn't expecting a happy ending." A single chuckle managed its way before her next thoughts on the subject. "You'll be their light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me.~"

"Huh, never thought about it that way before," Daniel said. He blinked to avoid having eye poked out by a nail. He figured that Emi was aiming for his nose or forehead, but alcohol had a funny way of throw someone's aim way off course. It was all in good fun.
"Sounds like a plan." He settled back into the couch and stared blankly ahead at the hologram. There was no paying attention at this point but it helped keep his focus to watch the miniature people chitchatting back and forth with one another.
"Yer a hell of a woman, ya know that?" Funny how some nice lady hadn't already scooped her up.

"Yep! I'll hook you up." Em began again, moving so as to hug the man's arm to herself as she nuzzled back into him. She'd warned him to be fair. Cuddle snuggle monster is what she became when intoxicated. "I'll-I'll hook you up. Don't worry." Eye closed again she finally ceased in her nuzzling in order to relax against him fully once again.
"Hm?" The next statement would set Em smiling sincerely. "Thank you, Daniel." It was nice someone thought so. "You're one helluva man too. Never really thought I'd be able to trust a - a straight man with my being like this. No, um ... offense or anything. I just know how things can become more, you know ... when you're ... drinking." The pauses only there because the words were not able to come sooner to the intoxicated mind.

Daniel smiled. "I ain't nothin' if not a man of my word. You said that you didn't want it to go down like that and I'm stickin' to that promise. I ain't in the habit of betrayin' a friend, and after this? Well, your alright in my book." Much as he wanted to touch the woman, he'd given his word that he wouldn't. Not in that way at least.
"Next time, let's just have some company over. That way no one has to worry about that sort of stuff. Deal?"
