[hearthwarming]

Good. I'm going to move us onto the couch, okay, sweetheart?

[ First, she turns her head to kiss his forehead. Then, she very slowly and carefully goes about moving him back onto the couch, lifting him up onto it with her ~secret strength~ and then maneuvering herself to sit such that he can be laying down with his head in her lap. ]

There. Is that better?

[disdelusioned]

[It's a good thing she's strong, because he's practically boneless as she pulls him up onto the couch. The movement causes his stomach to lurch a bit from disorientation, but after his head is in her lap and he has a few moments to re-center himself the nausea passes.]

I think so.

[hearthwarming]

[ oh thank god he doesn't throw up on her... She really should have done this from the start, but she'd wanted to get a sense of where he was at, first. Now that she knows he's having quite a tough time of things, she's going to gently rest her hand on his forehead and cast Lesser Restoration. It won't get rid of the drunkenness entirely, but it should at least help with the worst of it. ]

And... How about now?

[disdelusioned]

[Ori places her hand on his head, and somehow that manages to stop the room from spinning. He still feels off, but there's definite improvement.]

That's better.

[He takes her hand and brings it to his lips, pressing a kiss to the back of it.]

I don't deserve you.

[hearthwarming]

Hey...

[ She leans down a bit to bring her face as close as she can to his, given their current positioning. ]

Don't say things like that... You wouldn't say that the moon doesn't deserve its stars, would you?

[disdelusioned]

That's different.

[It's not.]

You're so magnificent, and I'm drunk...

[hearthwarming]

You're very drunk, kitten.

[ She sits back up and starts rubbing his head gently. ]

But you don't even need to be drunk to use words like "magnificent" to describe someone, do you? You're so sweet.

[disdelusioned]

No 'mnot.

[He lets the gesture comfort him, closing his eyes and exhaling deeply.]

Only to you. And Thoma. But he's not here, so only you.

[hearthwarming]

[ She just chuckles again because. Yes he is. ]

Ahh... I see. Of course! I would agree, though. Thoma is magnificent, too. We were very lucky to be with him, hm?

[disdelusioned]

We were. I miss him.

[hearthwarming]

I know, moonlight. I miss him, too...

I hope he's doing well in Inazuma.

[disdelusioned]

I'm sure he is. The Kamisatos are good to him.

[His voice is becoming more and more of a mumble. He may or may not be starting to pass out fall asleep in her lap.]

[hearthwarming]

[ She picks up on that, and keeps stroking her fingers through his hair to soothe his head. ]

Hmm... Maybe I should let Mister Van Zieks know that we won't be making it to work today...

[ She'd much rather make sure that Diluc gets to rest and recover, after all. ]

[disdelusioned]

[He mumbles something unintelligible in reply.]

[hearthwarming]

... Sleep well, darling.

[ Well. Guess she's going to gently roll him onto his side just in case and then spend the rest of her morning or afternoon like this... She's going to start braiding and putting flowers in his hair at some point, though. A girl's gotta keep herself entertained while her boyfriend sleeps on her! ]
