After making sure she had everything, Elphie made her way out of the bar and started walking back home. She didn't walk in a straight line whatsoever and she did stumble, but she managed to stay on her feet. Well, for the most part. She tripped over herself and fell down, cursing softly as the sidewalk hurt. She looked at her hands, making sure they weren't cut or bleeding in any way. And just then the spell wore off. Eyes going wide with fear, Elphie forgot about being drunk and uncoordinated. She got to her feet and bolted for the nearest non-populated place where she could keep out of sight from people.
As she ran, she used her hair to hide her face and she tucked her hands under her arms. Luckily she'd worn longsleeves and jeans, so no other skin was exposed. She managed to find a quiet park not that far away and she took refuge in some bushes. She sat down, though it was more like falling down. Oh this was just her luck, to be caught out in public and turn green again while intoxicated.
"Stupid," she chastized herself under her breath. She knew she should've watched the time more closely. Closing her eyes, she pressed a hand over her face as the emotions started to come one after another. So this is what alcohol did, cause emotions to come out uncontrollable? And Elphie had actually confessed her secret feelings for Galinda. Oh this was bad. Very bad. Nothing good was going to come of this.
As far as she'd come as a person in this world, she still had yet to really get past her serious self-esteem issues. She tried not to break down, but the alcohol had killed her inhibitions. Tears started running down her cheeks. But she couldn't lose it here. Sniffing and swiping the tears away, she glanced around, saw no one was around, and made her way back home. It took a while, but she managed to not run into anyone on the way home. She crept in the front door, wondering if Galinda was still awake.
She spotted the blonde asleep on the couch. A sad little smile crossed her face as she made her way over to the couch. She bumped into the coffee table, grunting slightly at the pain in her shin. She got over to the couch, shifted Galinda enough to make room for herself and laid down. Elphie spent a few moments gazing at Galinda before closing her eyes. She loved her, but she knew better than to wish she could be loved in return. So she'd have to settle for having it in the dreamworld.
