Re: Nish/James - 7:30, near the punch Pirate vibe? Really? James didn't think so, but then again, that was the glorious effect of alcohol - it just got the word vomit going. "I suppose that was meant to be a compliment?" he guessed. And it wasn't like he was disappointed by Nishka's admission that she was sloshed (she hadn't known the punch was spiked, though it must be ethanol-level booze in there to get someone pissed so quickly) but rather, he simply wished it could have been a stress-free get-together in the ol' rec room.
But he'd just deal with it, like he did everything else. "We'll see how that plundering goes," he smiled, though it didn't reach the blue sea of his eyes this time. He wasn't about to take advantage, with her being literally punch-drunk. "I've got to be up early tomorrow, so staying late here is likely not on the agenda," he added, sliding an arm around her waist. "Not that it seems like much of a happening party anyway."
