[ there'd be a small roll of her eyes as she swirled her glass a bit , spilling a couple of drops onto the floor as she grew looser ; although to say she was drunk would be an overstatement .
she'd have to have a few more to catch up to red . ]

yeah , man ?

“ honestly? I would not be opposed. need to chill out more. god knows most of the crew here is stressed out of their minds… “

“ I get it, though- feels nice to just… let loose for a while. don’t get to do that very often. “

you serious ?
i think i'm probably like 80% wine at this point ..
