Should I bring a sober chaperone?

[bornstrong]

Oh, you're funny.

[overbarreled]

Looking out now so I can relax later.

And by "later," I mean "very soon." Leaving now.

[bornstrong]

Good. See you soon, then.

[overbarreled]

Wear flats.

[bornstrong]

Oh?

I will, don't worry.

[overbarreled]

Just to keep the possibilities open. Nothing kills a vibe like a broken ankle.

[bornstrong]

Well, yes. That's true.

What are the possibilities you're considering?

[overbarreled]

Come on down and we'll talk about it.

[bornstrong]

All right.

Be there in a few.

[overbarreled]

I will attempt not to languish while I wait.

[bornstrong]

Oh, please. You're fine.

[overbarreled]

Every second you're not here is another second we're not getting tipsy.

[bornstrong]

I'm here. Knock knock.

[ooc: would you like to do a regular action thread now? I'm cool with whatevs~]

lmk if this works!

[overbarreled]

[Nights off are somewhat of a rare commodity. This, Henry is fairly certain, is a fantastic use of one.

Iphigenia is greeted with a cheerful wave and the relaxed smile of someone quite pleased to be out of uniform for once.]

Ready for bedlam and debauchery, then?

works perfectly!

[bornstrong]

[She's relieved that for once, her father isn't bothering her. The fact that Iphigenia's spending some time with a friend doesn't hurt either. She waves back, returning the smile.]

Yes, of course. I've been ready.

[overbarreled]

What, all day?

[It isn't right to tease her the way he would tease his friends at work, but there's no cutting the impulse to tease entirely.]

Sort of impressive.

[bornstrong]

[Lucky for him, she laughs a little.]

No. That would be dreadful and boring.

Let's go.

[overbarreled]

[His arm is offered instinctively as they set off. It's a bit old-fashioned, true, but it's how he was raised.]

How is being ready all day boring?

[bornstrong]

[She takes it, gladly.]

It's the waiting. Maybe I should learn to be more patient.

[She smiles softly.]

But now I don't have to wait.

[overbarreled]

We'll practice being patient some other time.

[His arm squeezes hers lightly.]

Still sure you don't want to pretend to be someone else for the night?

[bornstrong]

Do you want me to pretend?

Because I could.

[overbarreled]

[That gets a brief bobble of his head from side to side.]

Only if you'd have fun. Tonight should be-- just fun things.

[bornstrong]

Then let me be me. I can have plenty of fun being myself.

[She grins at him.]

I promise.

[overbarreled]

Aye aye, then. But. [He's allowed to tease, hopefully.] If you change your mind, I have got some fake mustaches for both of us.

[Which, in all honesty, would also be useful for simply being sloshed together.]
