"Mmmno..." I snuggle up closer to him, my feet dragging along the floor.

"At least adjust so it's easier for me to walk."

"No!" You're warm...

"Anduda... Can you help here?"

"You think me of all people would be able to help right now? You do remember my level, right?"

"Right... sorry. Camaella could you please just stop letting your legs hit the back of mine?" He lifts me up a little bit.

"Mwhere else would mmmy legs go..?" Ah! I can just wrap them around him. I wrap my legs around his waist with my arms around his neck, acting as his backpack.

"That... works I guess, at least we aren't far from the guild hall... Why did you think it was a good idea to have a second one of those drinks when you were already starting to slur your words?" He puts his hands under my legs to keep me up.

"Heeey! I wasn't slurring aaanthing... and... wait... what was thee question again?" I tilt my head.

"Why did you get a second drink..." He says with a sigh, making me slightly mad.

"Becaauuse they were sooo gooood! Dooon't judge mee..." I release one if my hands and lightly hit his shoulder before grabbing back onto him. You're so warm...

"You really should learn moderation..."

"Nooo..." I rub my face against his neck to warm it up.

"Ow, Camaella your horns!" Mmm... Okay... "Anduda, is she always like this when she's drunk?"

"I have actually never seen them drunk before. They never drank enough alcohol while I was around to see."

"Fuck..."

"Caan we get hot chocooolaate?"

"We don't have any here... at least, I haven't seen anything like it."

"Aaawwwww..." But I want hot chocolate...

"We are almost back, then you can lay down."

"Nooo! I dooon't waant to lay doown!" I grab onto him tighter.

"Ack, Camaella! My neck!" Oh...

"Soorryy..!" I release my grip slightly as he takes a few breaths.

"You really need to lay down."

"No! I'm noot tiired!"

"That's not why..." He lets out a sigh. Stop making me mad...

I glance up to find we are about to enter the guild hall, reaching the front entrance.

"Are you going to get down now, or am I carrying you up the stairs?"

"I doon't wannaa!" I don't want to get down! It's cold...

"Fine... I hope you are ready for more rumors."

"I don't caaare!"

We walk into the guild hall as I put my head back down against his, closing my eyes as I hear murmurs around me that I don't care about. I feel us start to rise up step by step as we make our way towards the room. I hear the door open as a conversation stalls with our entrance, and I hear a quick shuffle.

"Woah, what happened?" Roana asks, I peak up to see her staring at us from the other side of the bed as the others move around the room awkwardly.

"She just had something to drink that hit her really hard." Leo clarifies.

"It's nooot thaaaat baad..."

"Oh... Yeah... that definitely did that." She says.

"Nooo it's noot..."

"What the hell did she even have?"

"Some specialty drink that is catered to dragons."

"It wass soo goood!" I giggle as I lean back, Leo's hands quickly dart back under my butt, I pull myself back towards him. "Youu liike my asss?" I ask him.

"You really need to lay down." He says.

"I said befoore, no!"

"Jesus christ..." Roana sighs, "Camaella you need to sit down at least."

"Nooooo!" Leo is warm! Stop trying to make me cold!

"Just sit down for a little bit, you'll feel better." Leo says, making me angry again.

"Whhyyy!? Yoou aare warm, I am noot lettiing go!"

He lets out a sigh. "I'll sit down with you, just try to rest a little."

"Mmmmm..." As long as you don't leave... "Fine..." I start to drop my legs and he releases them, and I start to stand on my own weight. We walk over to the bed, he pulls me around to the front of him with more force than I was expecting, making me giggle.

"Alright, sit down."

"Oookkaayy..." I start to drop back, pulling on Leo as he adjusts to let me sit.

"You are going to have to let go for a second."

"AAaawwww..." I release him slowly, and he starts to turn and walk away, making me almost jump towards him as I grab his hand. "Heey! You said yoou wouuld siit with mee!"

"I have to go to the bathroom, then I will sit with you." He turns and looks down at me.

"Buut I'm coooold!" I try to pull him towards me.

"Someone else can sit with you."

"Nooo! I waant you!"

"It's just until I get back, I won't be long."

"Proomise?"

"Yes, I will only be a couple of minutes, Anduda can sit with you until then, right?"

"Yep." Anduda says as she sits down next to me.

"mmmm... okaaay..." I pick her up and put her on my lap, hugging her to my chest. She shifts slightly before settling down.

"Are you sure you are okay?" She asks.

"Mhmmm... I feeel great..."

"I am starting to wonder what was in that drink..."

"I doon't know... I waant more!"

"No."

"Huh!? Whaat do you meean no!?"

"I mean no, you don't need anymore right now."

"Whyy nooot!?"

"Because you are hammered right now."

"Nooo I'm not!"

"Yes you are..."

"Mmmm! You meeanie!" Why is everyone trying to make me mad!?

Leo walks back into the room, I look up to him with a pout as he walks over, sitting down next to me. I let Anduda go, who quickly hops off of my lap. I quickly turn and snuggle up with Leo again, almost making him fall back.

"Have fun with your girlfriend." Anduda says as she walks over to the couch.

Leo lets out a sigh as he pulls me a little closer. "You are a really clingy drunk."

"Stoop trying to maake me mad..."

"Just stating a fact."

"Keep that faact to yoourself..." I snuggle up closer to him.

"So uh... What exactly happened?" Reggie asks.

"We went to eat at a hotpot place I saw, they apparently had a delivery of some specialty alcohol catered to dragons."

"It's sooo goood!" I sway back and forth happily.

"Yeah... You said that before... She had 2 of them and turned out like this."

"Like this!?" I say, pulling back from him slightly.

"Mhm... Like this."

I growl and get back close to him for warmth.

"How strong were they?" Melina asks.

"I don't really know, I took a sip because she was really insistent on me trying it. I didn't care for it and it didn't really seem like it had much, if any, alcohol in it."

"Wow... okay..."

"Caan we get hot chocolaate?"

"You already asked that, I haven't seen anything like it." Leo sighs.

"Awwww..." Why can't I have any hot chocolate...

"Are you feeling better?"

"I'm stiill cold..."

"You should just lay down under the covers."

"Noooooo... You aare warm..."

"We can lay down together... Just rest..."

"mmmmmm..." Maybe... No... "No..."

He sighs, lifting me up as he stands and causing my feet to drag on the floor. I giggle as he moves me back and forth, moving the covers and laying us down. "Heeey! I said nooo!" I wiggle a little, unable to escape him, I pout looking up at him as he pulls the covers over us.

"Just be quiet."

"MNnooooo..!" I wiggle some more.

"Don't make me rub your horns."

I freeze, looking up at him. "Meanie..." Then snuggle up to him. This is warmer than before...

"Better?" He asks.

"Yeah..."

He starts to rub the back of my head slowly. I close my eyes and lean into him.

"Oh... That feels niiice... I like that..."

"Mmmm..." It's warm...

"Camaella?"

"Yeah?" I ask, without moving. Why does he sound so close?

"Are you feeling better?" I feel the back of my head start to be rubbed. That feels good...

"Mhm... What time is it?"

I feel a shift in front of me. "It's morning." Wait... how close is he?

I look up to find his face a few inches from mine, making my brain halt for a moment. "Uhm... Why am I... here..? Wait... Never mind..." I feel my face heat up as the memories from last night start coming back to me. I push back away from him and sit up, to find we are in his bedroom. I guess he moved me here after I fell asleep...

"Have you ever been drunk like that before?"

"No..." I was never able to drink enough to affect me like that, though it's not like I really liked the feeling of being drunk...

"Why are you so clingy whenever you are drunk?" He asks while sitting up, making me even more embarrassed.

"I don't know... Sorry about that."

"I've dealt with similar, so I don't mind, it just surprised me." He stands up and changes clothes, swapping instead of de-equipping first.

"I think I'm... maybe not going to drink 2 of those anymore."

"Good idea." He walks back over and sits down. "Melina is still here, everyone else decided to start buying their own rooms for now. They wanted to get a full grasp on how much money is worth now."

"From what I have seen... Most veteran players are basically multimillionaires, easily." I shrug.

"Yeah... How much money do you have anyway?"

"Like... 1.2 mil..." I look to the side.

"Holy fuck, you a rich bitch..."

I bust out laughing at his dumbfounded face.
