[Did you get caught up in the good times? Or gathering information that will then later be sprung upon Eponine and used against her? Because she would not be surprised in the least.]
You did. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to say we kissed.
[In fairness to himself, even intoxicated he had most likely rambled at length about the importance of bodily integrity and consent between individuals. Fairness to himself after a night of being completely obliterated isn't really on tap.
Then again, she had said 'we kissed.' Not 'you kissed me.' That's... confusing.]
[It isn't, in the long run. It's a tiny snippet of nothing that the other party involved already doesn't care to think about, no more than a blip he'll forget about by this time next week.
And yet.] It's not something I-- do.
[Like drinking. Like drinking to excess. Like not remembering the entirety of the previous night.]

[She grins] With tongue.

I'm so-- sorry, Eponine.

[Yes, he had gone on a long rant about this and that, but Eponine had wandered away in the middle of it.]
no subject
on 2017-08-23 05:16 pm (UTC)--no?
[They had tongues in each other's mouth. That seems to qualify for 'big deal' status.]

on 2017-08-25 02:27 am (UTC)You were really drunk last night, so don't worry about it. [Alcohol excused everything, right?]
You don't have to apologize.
no subject
on 2017-08-25 02:42 am (UTC)But... he'll get used to this. Maybe. Later.]
If you're sure.

on 2017-08-25 02:55 am (UTC)[She rolls her eyes.]
Are you sure?
no subject
on 2017-08-25 02:59 am (UTC)[He'll get used to it. Or, more accurately, he'll bury himself under a pile of work and slowly forget about the whole thing.]
Let's... not, though. While we're-- hm.

on 2017-08-25 03:15 am (UTC)They've heard it all before. But alright. If you say so.
