Paint the town

Evie dropped onto the seat across from her, lounging back, sweat coating her body.

"Phew," She wiped her forehead, taking deep breaths, her smile not wavering. "Damn right it was. You certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself."

She didn't give any indication that she'd noticed anything, the only thing that was amiss was the cheeky look she was giving her.

"Buuuuuuut..." She sat back up, rubbing her hands together. "I hope you don't think we're done yet. That was just the beginning! Wait here a bit."

She jumped up from her seat, letting Morrigan have a chance to rest up, crossing over to the bar at the side of the club and ordering the two of them some more drinks. She thought to herself while she waited, wondering if she'd overdone it a little bit. She liked Morrigan, thought she was fun, even if she seemed a little clueless sometimes. While she did enjoy watching her get all flustered, Morrigan was very naive. She probably wouldn't realise how much she was messing with her unless she said it. Maybe she was being a little too mean.

Bah, not like it mattered anyway, Evie had no idea if they'd even talk to each other again after tonight. No use worrying about it.

She eventually returned to the table, carefully balancing half a dozen or so shot glasses in her hands, lowering their gravity enough to keep them steady without spilling out. She placed them all down on the table.

"Alright!" She started to explain. "I got us some Vodka now. Ya gonna have to drink these a little differently from the Margarita's. You wanna get it all down in one go so you taste it as little as possible."

To demonstrate, she picked up one of the glasses, leaned her head back, and downed the drink. Her face scrunched up as the liquid passed through her, she'd tasted enough to almost cough, but she kept it down.

"There!" She said, smiling again. "Try it!"

Evie laughed, sliding back into her seat.

"Yeeeeep, that's why you don't wanna taste it. Shit's fuckin' rancid."

Truth be told, she would very much like something to chase it down as well, but she was trying to impress Morrigan here. She'd toughed it out already, she had an image to maintain now. She took a second glass and threw it back, face scrunching up a little again, before sliding another glass across the table over to the other girl.

"Anyyyyway, we still got something to talk about, you know~"

She grinned again, lowering the gravity around herself and her chair, sliding around the table until she's sitting next to her. Evie's face was red, both from the exertion and from the alcohol. No matter how many drinks she'd had in the past, she was still pretty small, and her tolerance was never great. She giggled, feeling more than a little tipsy now.

"So," She eyed Morrigan, eyebrows wiggling up and down, hands gesturing to the club around them. "See anything you like?"

It took a second for Evie to decipher what she said. It would have been difficult with just the loud music around them, her current inebriated state only made it worse. Once she had figured it out, she giggled again, rocking side to side in her chair.

"Why not? That's a big part of why people come out to these things. So they can mingle, get peoples numbers, make new friends! Or y'know...other things."

Her giggling didn't stop, she leaned over on her seat, pressing their shoulders up together.

"That's part of what I was trying to do y'know. I thought you might wanna try meeting new people. Unless..."

She raised her lips close to Morrigan's ear, the scent of the alcohol on her breath and her words slurring as she whispered.

"Are there things you'd rather be doing with me instead?"

Evie finally stopped giggling, just settling on a little smile, their faces inches apart. For a moment, she was still, her face giving away nothing except for a sultry, almost challenging look.

Behind it, she had her own little conflict. Morrigan was pretty, she was cute. But she was also earnest, honest, and worst of all, she actually seemed to trust Evie. She had taken her teasing much further then she thought she would when the night began, leading the girl on until this very moment. The part of her that still held her inhibitions thought that this was far enough. She didn't want Morrigan getting any ideas. She was fun, sure, but her interest didn't extend much further than that. She wanted her at arm's length, and she didn't want to hurt the other girl because of it.

But another part of her was lonely. Another part of her had been distant for so long. Another part of her wanted to feel something intimate, passionate, even if only for a moment, even if it didn't matter to her at all.

"You aren't so bad looking yourself, y'know." She breathed softly. And then she was pressing forward, eyes closed, lips pushing against Morrigan's. The kiss was like the dance, it was wild, it was energetic, and with Evie's current state of intoxication, it was more than a little sloppy. She shifted in her seat, her body moving to face Morrigan while her hand snaked around her head, fingers intermingling with her pink hair to keep it in position, wanting to keep her from pulling away.

Evie let her pull away, eyes fluttering back open, breathing heavily through her mouth, the edges of her lips curled up into a smile. It had been a long time since she'd done that, and she wanted to enjoy the feeling while it lasted. Eventually, however, the thumping music and flashing lights brought her back to reality. She untangled her arms from Morrigan, reached over to the table and threw back her last shot, before hopping back up to her feet.

"You bet I do! C'mon, you too! You've had enough rest!" She reached over to grab Morrigans arms, moving to pull her off up from her seat. "We have a whole night ahead of us, and I'm not letting you go until I'm satisfied!"

Laughing, she rushed back to the dance floor, ready to let herself go again.

After a couple of hours, and many more drinks, Evie finally stumbled out of the club a giggling mess. She'd danced until her muscles were sore and her feet were aching. Her breath reeked of alcohol, and her vision was swirling. She was only able to walk straight thanks to her powers, letting her keep her balance and lowering her gravity enough to take the strain off her body and give her weary limbs a break. She dragged Morrigan along with her, sticking close.

"See! Whadd' I tell ya? It was fun right?" She giggled, her words audibly slurring, her ears still ringing from the loud music.
