Charlot accepted the cigarettes, taking the lighter and flicking it into life. Grete had looked like she had troubles lighting it, he wondered if it was broken. Finding it working just fine, he busied himself with getting one out and lighting it.
He noticed she'd moved and stood as he coaxed a cigarette into lighting. It was still a little windy, so his hands were cupped around it as he inhaled a few times. Once it lit, he set the pack and lighter aside, regarding her.
"Mmm...vengeance," He thought about this carefully, not touching his glass. "Oi've never been in a sit'uation requiring revenge." He smoked for a bit, watching the silvery plumes twine into the dark. "Oi've never been in love."
His glass remained empty beside him.

Grete stood, now a bit mesmerized, watching the smoke into the air. She stared at her glass, then put it on the table, and turned so that she was facing Charlot.
"Can't say that I have," She said, in a bit of a monotone voice, "I've said that I was, but it was just a lie."
Then she picked up the glass again, just to stare into it. The wind blew again, and Grete's cheeks had turned a slight pink color from the cold. She watched Charlot smoke for a few moments, and then figured that she'd better think of a reply.
"To stay on that topic, I'm fairly certain," She put her glass back down on the table, "That I've never been loved."

Charlot arched an eyebrow, glancing at her. "Never?" He took her glass, since both his and the bottle were dry. He took a tiny sip. "Me mum loved me, so that counts hmm?" He grinned, liking Rum... a lot. He liked Grete too. She was pretty in the dark- he imagined she was pretty in the light too.
Wow, he was drunk.
"Mmm... question question." He chewed absently on the end of his cig, pausing to flick ashes aside. "Well, Oi never kissed a complete stranger in the street. Yet."
He flashed her a wicked smile, offering her the glass with raised eyebrows. "T'bad were already aquainted, eh?"

Grete stumbled a bit, as she took a step closer to Charlot, in a playful way.
"Well, it's good to know that your mother liked you. Mine hated me," Grete laughed. Her words came out just the slightest bit slurred, though, so, it added to Grete's laughter.
"I've never kissed a stranger in the street, either. I'll add it to my to-do list," Here, she dropped the 'e' off of 'the', and her 's's seemed to go on for a bit too long. She took the glass anyway, just in case she had done whatever she was about to ask next.
"Too bad indeed. Though, we're not exactly in a street," Grete smiled, and swished the glass, watching the liquid move. She had to make these last few questions count. She loved finding out about people.
"I've never been this drunk in a while," Grete laughed again. So, her plan for juicy questions didn't exactly follow through here, but, she was having fun anyway. Plus, she enjoyed Charlot's company, which was a good thing in Grete's mind.

Charlot tilted his head, watching her stumble about, giggle, and speak. It was entertaining in itself. He'd finished his cigarette and dropped it, making sure to snuff it out with his boot before glancing back up at her.
"True, need a bit of a'street for all that-" He laughed, mostly because she was, although he did find most everything amusing. "Oi 'aven't either... alcohol costs money, an' money is one thing oi 'aven't got a lot of." He snickered, leaning forward to whisper loudly.
"Oi've never been caught."

"You are naughty," Grete whispered back, and guiltily took a drink. She rolled her eyes, then smiled at Charlot.
"So, how is it, that you, Mister Self-Proclaimed-Tramp," Grete said, softly, "Are not taking a drink right now?" She pointed at him, and wagged her finger slightly. She noticed that she thought he had leaned forward a bit, but she didn't really mind. Though, she wasn't completely sure if he really did, or if it was just her imagination. Or the fact that she was drunk.
"Gawd," She mummbled out loud, "I'm going to have one helluva hangover tomorrow." She smiled, then looked back at Charlot.
"I've never been with one person, only to get closer to another."

"Aye, that I am." Charlot murmured with a nod. "Oi'm just good at coverin' me tracks."
"Oi'm tryin' not t'think about th'after effects of all this." He figured he'd be sleeping in and finding some form of anti-headache afterwards. "We're runnin outta alcohol."
He took her glass, not from her hand- just moving it over to drink out of it. There were maybe a sip or two left.
"Oi've never bitten someone and drawn blood." mrgreen

Grete tilted her head slightly as she watched Charlot drink.
"I don't even think that I have to explain to you again that you're very naughty," Grete said again, as she took another drink. She stared at the glass, and felt a bit heartbroken. That was some of the last alcohol that she had. Well, at least she had a good time while finishing it off.
"Well, it looks as though we've only got enough for a couple more. So, make 'em good," Grete said, in slurred speech.
"I've never," She couldn't think of anything. She thought for a second, wrinkled her nose slightly and stuck out her bottom lip.
"I've never... forgotten a lover's name. And...well, yeah," Grete rolled her eyes at what she had said, and took a little sip.

"Remind me t'buy you another bottle of something..." Charlot said absently, watching the darkness. It would be sad to have drank all her Rum and not be able to play this game again.
He looked toward her, cocking an eyebrow. "Tsk..." He took the cup, drinking some. "Y'call that good?" He laughed, lifting a finger to wag it at her. "Oi've never said a lovers name... that wasn't in me bed at the time."
He paused, throughtful for a moment, then took his final drink. "Damn."

Grete blushed, "Well, once..." she mummbled slighlty. She stared at the empty glass, and shrugged.
"Just pretend that I took a drink. Oh, and I'm going to hold you to buying me somthing. Make it nice," Grete smiled at Charlot, a full out smile, with her top row of teeth showing just slightly.
"So," She paused, thoughtfully, "What now?"

"O'course, Oi'd not buy y'anythin' but-" He grinned back before running a hand across his eyes. "Mmm... Oi suppose it's time for us t'wander back t'our respec'ive trailers...eh?"
He looked around slowly, blinking. "... Oi don't think oi'll make it t'me own, though. Th'tables DO look comfortable."

"I guess so," Grete said slowly, smiling, "I had fun, though. We should do it again some time. Soon. And I guess I'll have to give back your coat at some point," She suddenly added.
She began to walk in the direction of her trailer, but stumbled, and nearly fell. Grete grabbed Charlot's arm to pull herself back up, and then she frowened.
"I hope I can make it back to my trailer without killing myself. That would be good," She laughed once it finally clicked what Charlot had meant.
"If you sleep on the tables, you might get eaten in the morning by hungry workers. And that doesn't sound like fun. Well, okay, I guess I'm off to try and walk back to my trailer again," She smiled back at Charlot, as she took a careful step forward, stumbling, and nearly falling, but she caught herself.

Charlot blinked, moving after her to grab her arm and place a hand at her waist to steady her, of course.
"..'ere, lemme 'elp you. Oi think between us oi can get you back t'your trailer." He moved forward (slowly, mind you) back toward her trailer. He vaguely remembered how to get there and figured she would lead them. "See...s'notso bad."
The thought of hungry workers eating him alive on the table... scary. He missed the fact that she was thieving his coat away completely. XD

"Oh, uh, thanks," Grete nodded in acknowledgement. She pointed in the direction of her trailer, and nodded again.
"It's over that way. Kind of hidden. Sorry about that," Grete said, feeling a bit stupid. It hadn't been her plan to get so drunk that she couldn't get back to her trailer without the help of someone else.
She looked up at Charlot, and made a face that expressed her worry.
"I'm sorry if I'm an...," She hiccuped softly, "Inconvenience."

"Tsk, not a'tall." Charlot moved toward the pointed destination, walking a little better now that he had a counterbalance. "That's part of gettin' drink w'friends, you 'ave someone t'make sure you c'n get 'ome."
He paused at the front of the collection of Trailers, looking around to see if he recognized hers.
"... mmm, which was it a'gain?"
