Rae had always, always been a giggly drunk. She remembered one particular incident at a party in high school when she'd been drunker than she recalled being in a long, long time, and she'd fallen off a tire swing in her then-boyfriend's backyard, broken her wrist and been able to do nothing but laugh at it. So naturally, when presented with a pair of brothers as hilarious as the Zimmerman's? She was doomed to a night of incessant laughter.
If this was doom, however, Rae would gladly go down in flames.
David's rendition of the Men in Tights song had been just as amusing as Eli had claimed it to be. Maybe more, but that was probably only because she was pretty well drunk. David had drank two glasses and he was gone. Just gone. She'd seen Eli put maybe three back on his own, and she was pretty sure he still had some semblance of his mind. She herself, however, was finishing up her fourth. And she was just amused with everything. Her body felt a little warmer, which was nice compared to how she'd felt before, and the whole world just… felt good right then.
However, she, much like David, was completely oblivious to Elliot's jealousy. It was unfortunate for Elliot (and David, for that matter), but very fortunate for her, because if she knew, she'd probably say something stupid. Something about how Eli had no reason to be jealous.
David started telling his "ghost theory" and Rae was listening to begin with, partially amused, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw Eli moving up behind his brother. Her eyebrow quirked in curiosity, but that concern was dispelled when Eli started… oh my God, she thought, before breaking down in a helpless fit of giggles. Eli was mimicking David's gestures, and at the moment he started parodying the creatures in David's speech? Rae lost it. She tried to cover her mouth, but at about the moment that David asked what she was laughing at… well… there was no point anymore. She doubled over again, reaching around behind David for a "fist bump" from Eli.
"It's not ridiculous!" David insisted, turning to look at Rae. "You don't think it's ridiculous, do you?"
Rae couldn't answer properly, and not only because she was laughing so hard that finding the breath to speak was difficult. She'd… not been paying enough attention to know if it was ridiculous or not. "I, um…" she paused, still giggling, "It's…" she cleared her throat. "Ahem. Woo, am I drunk, how about you boys?" she asked, not-so-subtly changing the subject.
