Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sex in public got another drink and finally, slurring, he found something that he could abstain on as Rodney brought up rap albums.

"That!" he said triumphantly. "That I've never done!"

A cute girl in his lap was the perfect capper to Rob's evening. Even if they were just friends. One could still flirt with friends! And Mercy had proven herself to be nothing if not flirtatious. This evening was becoming more entertaining as it progressed.

He would have taken a drink for the pot-smoking, except his curly-maned lap warmer had grabbed the drink right out of his hands and downed it in a single draught. "Damn, Mercy," he grinned, raising an eyebrow. He had no idea which one she was drinking to, but apparently she had done it a lot.

Reaching across her, he retrieved another beer and cracked it open, drinking deeply. Then he drank again -- he'd had sex in public on more than one occasion. Living dangerously was fun.

Rob placed an arm around Mercy's shoulders to make sure she didn't tumble off his lap, then set his beer down on the table and went for the wine. "Here, I'll top you off." He refilled her cup and took the opportunity to plant a kiss on the side of her head. "That should do you for one more round, at least," he chuckled into her hair.

Mercy was cute as hell when she was drunk, Rob decided. And she seemed to be quite drunk. He grinned as she kissed his cheek, her face flushing just a little tiny bit. So bloody cute. Then she whispered in his ear something about wanting to be carried back to her dorm, piggy-back style no less, and called him by a mashup of nicknames, and he suppressed a laugh. He was more than a little drunk himself, and piggy-back required a big more balance, but he thought he could manage it.

"Absolutely," he murmured back into her ear, or at least close to her ear as he could get through her thick curly mane. "T'would be my pleasure, my lady."

Relieving her of her drink, Rob picked Mercy up and moved her from his lap to the couch as carefully as he could, then he stood and turned to face the others. "Well, friends," he announced, "I must escort Mercy here home for the evening. I should probably retire myself. Many plans to be hatched, must get my rest." He bowed with a flourish and turned to Asher. "Thank you for your hospitality. The pizza was delicious. I hope my contributions have been appreciated." He grinned wickedly at that.

"And now, I bid you all adieu." Turning his back to Mercy, he crouched and spread his arms, ready to grab onto her legs when she climbed onto his back. "Come, Mercy! Your steed awaits!"
