Drinking Contest [ReD]

Adelene glared. She hasn't read or watched Fifty Shades of Grey, but she spends enough time in the internet to know what it's all about. She slapped Lochlann, but it was a soft one meant to match his joke. And then a grin slowly formed on her lips again. "Do try, I'll be the one to tie you down for punishment if you do."

As for her answer, she probably hoped it was a lie, that's why she chose it. And when Lochlann took out a small box, though it didn't look like for a wedding ring at all, it felt like something she didn't know tugged on her chest. She laughed together with Lochlann.

She was actually relieved it was a lie.

"Good." It was almost too obvious in her tone and sigh, and that caused her to panic. "Well I mean I don't have to drink more beer, so yeah, that's good. You've eaten a giant squid though? How huge exactly?"

She picked up her bottle and made a rotating motion on its neck again. It was already more than half empty. "Okay, my turn. Uhm... Let's see..." She realized that most of the truths and lies she could think of were from her past. And, probably because of the warm and fuzzy feeling the alcohol brought, she didn't mind talking about them now. It hurt much less at the moment, and she could actually try pouring them out and letting them go without the feeling she's been trying not to feel. "I've tried driving a monster truck off road, I've tried shooting a military tank with an RPG-- it's like a bazooka if you don't know-- and I've tried swimming in ice water." She chuckled. "Whatever you choose, all three are pretty extreme, aren't they?"

Adelene had a bit more of her drink, but she paused and went slightly limp hearing Lochlann talk about rehab. She... She wasn't surprised, considering she can already see how much of a wreck he was but... hearing it from him had a strong impact. She tried her best not to show her reaction though.

And besides, she had no time to react after hearing that Lochlann liked her. She wasn't really sure what that meant, she was pretty sure it was a friendly type of like but the topic was about him not getting married... Adelene felt like her head was going to spin for a moment, and not because of the alcohol. "L-Like, you say... I like you too, Lochlann. You're... uh, awesome." She was blushing again and melting.

"That's a big squid...." She decided it was a good thing to say so they can leave their previous topic. She took a large gulp and before she new it, she was already almost out of whiskey. Normal people might not last with that much alcohol in their body, but she was still okay. She wasn't exactly a normal human, after all.

"Pink nail polish isn't extreme, it's gay, especially for a hot guy like you. I'd ship you with Cabel, I swear."

She smiled after Lochlann tried to guess. Right, she had her hypothermia moment, it would be pretty unbelievable that she's swum in ice water, wouldn't it? "Ah, correct. Uh, can we pause for a bit? Where's your bathroom?"

She stood up carefully. She was already feeling some slight tipsiness, but she was confident she wasn't going to get drunk yet. She can still stand steadily and walk just fine.

She had no idea what pantry Lochlann was talking about, she figured he was joking. She found the door easily and went inside, letting herself have a couple of minutes not only for business but also to feel a little more if she was getting drunk. No, she wasn't. She got back out soon enough, plopping down the floor and starting on her beer.

"Okay, we can continue now," she said, taking another swig. "Your turn, right? "

Adelene grabbed the beer she already started and waved it between the two of them. "I'm drinking it," she said, grinning slightly and taking taking a couple of gulps.

She furrowed her brows at the choices Lochlann gave her, mainly because no matter what she'd choose, the other two would still be pretty strange. But she's made up her mind. "Reading, right?" she asked. "I mean... you're such a bookworm. I can't believe that."

Adelene giggled. She didn't mind that she got it wrong, she leaned forward and gave Lochlann a pat on the head when he pointed out the real lie. "Well, you're such a flirt, bestie. Pfft... I'm sorry." She was grinning when she bent down to kiss him on the forehead.

She pulled away quickly afterwards and chugged down her beer. And then she wiped the small trail the liquid made on one side of her lips. "Actually, I can't believe all three. How don't you know how old you are..? Which reminds me, I don't know either. I don't know your birthday yet, either. Well crap, I feel like a bad friend all of a sudden."

She emptied the beer bottle quickly.

"Alright... My turn..." Adelene pursed her lips in thought. "I haven't recovered from an amnesia. My favorite food is chocolate cake. I have nightmares often."
