Duchy, Destiny, Debauchery [Part 2]

After I encouraged the party game, we spent the next 30 minutes throwing sand everywhere. This was quite a weird game. It had a surprising number of rules, so there were several instances of arguing. Which seems like a common thing, because there were even rules about what to do if a disagreement happened. We then stopped to play a different game.

This game wasn’t any easier; another throwing one. It was basically darts, but with more drinking. When we got in the middle of it, I was feeling pretty tipsy. So, I suggested one that Vahaemarr mentioned. They quickly agreed, except for Elros, who was quite upset. Even though I’m basically drunk at this point; I know I’m doing a lot better at this game. It was a math like game so it was pretty funny watching everyone think hard. Especially Elros, he was struggling. He had to drink almost every time it was his turn.

Elros got frustrated, so he asked to play the game he mentioned. I thought this was strange because it was almost another thinking game. Elros was losing the hardest. He must be better at the beginning of a drinking party.

After that, we are fully ruddy and warm from the intoxicating refreshments. We started to just talk about random things. I have no idea what we talked about. I’m pretty sure I didn’t mess up my stories but I was absolutely blasted by this point. And so were the others, so I think I was fine. I think I had a conversation with Nel, I don’t remember what about. I do remember how she was acting though. I can’t say for sure but I think Írui was giving Nel some drinks, because she was sure was acting drunk. She couldn't drink because Quen said she was too young. Which I thought was kinda weird. I wonder if this world has drinking restrictions?

We all laughed and even sang for a little bit! Vahaemarr has an amazing singing voice, by the way. In the middle of one of my conversations with Quen and Írui.

“AHHhhh, it's hot!” Írui shouted as she struggled to get her sweater off.

She continued to struggle and couldn’t get it past her head. Which caused her bosoms that were barely restrained by her spaghetti strap tank top. That just made them the main focus.

Everyone of course looked, I mean I did, she has beautiful boobs. Elros and Aeryvon’s eyes were as wide as ever, but Vahaemarr quickly averted his gaze. What a gentleman. Írui was making cute and funny noises while moving her feet in frustration. Quen was right next to her but she was laughing at her. So, I stumbled over to her and pulled her sweater back down.

“How bout, I jus open a windo...” I drunkenly suggested.

I stumble my way to the nearest window to open it. Once I finished struggling to open the window, I turned back around, Elros was slowly getting on top of a chair. Oh, no, what now?

“Attention! I’d… Want to say something.” Elros drunkenly announced.

I giggled to myself because Aeryvon was sleeping a little and Elros woke him. Aeryvon had a scowl on his face with one eyebrow raised high in annoyance. I also saw Írui covering her face with Quen nudging her side.

“Imma super proud to be part of this Guild! AND every last member!” He drunkenly shouted. But then turned to me so I squinted my eyes with cynicism.

“Especially Ryo-Suke! At first I thought you were just some yokel! But maybe I was just a little jealous or something! Anyway, YOU are awesome! Thank ye!”

The others clapped and Elros sat back on the couch. I think I said thanks but I don’t remember. No matter, we all chatted for a little longer than Vahaemarr stood up.

“I am going to retire for the evening.” Said Vahaemarr with his face in a stoic vermillion. “Thank you for the… Invitation Lady Valaquendë, Lady Írui…” He tried to bow for the two but lost his balance for a quick second.

“No prob!” Írui smiled with her deep rosy cheeks.

He then walked to the door, losing his balance every few steps but stopping to gain it back.

Shortly after, I saw Elros propping himself up on the couch because he fell asleep next to Aeryvon who was also completely asleep. But it doesn't look like it because he’s still sitting up straight with his arms crossed. I thought that was funny. Quen then stood up and looked at Írui and I.

“Nel’s been in the bathroom for a while so imma go check her.” Quen said.

She then walked out of the room, slowly so she didn't stumble too much.

“Hey, Ryo?” Said Írui, so I turned to her.

“Let’s go to my room so we can talk more.” Írui requested. I then agreed because I can't say no to her today, I guess.

⧫⧫⧫

The two of us stumbled the entire way to her room; giggling our heads off but not too loudly. We went in and we both sat on her kinda big couch.

“So, Írui did ya what to talk about somethin’?” I asked.

“No, I jus like to talk, and I’m not tired yet.” She replied with a smile as she buried her feet in some blankets.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“I don’t knoooww...” Írui prolonged poking her cheeks.

“Oh! What was your favorite part of the night?” She asked.

“Hmm, probably when Elros said I was awesome.”

“Oh, that was such a surprise!”

“Yeah, I had no idea he’d wanted to do that.”

“Yeah, I thought he was going to confess his love again.” She placed her hand over her ears.

“Hehe. What?” I chuckled.

“Yeah, he kinda has a crush on me...”

“Wow, I kinda thought he did, hehe.” I chuckled again.

“Yea, but it’s all right, way better than the dozens of people fawning over me every day.”

“What do you mean by that? Is that something that happened?” I asked.

“At my old Guild. I was very popular for some reason.”

“That must have been stressful.”

“It was! Everyone wanted me to do all sorts of things and stuff. I felt like I had no friends and stuff.”

“Is that why you joined this Guild?”

“Umhum. Vap- I mean, O, um, uh… Orobas! Approached me one day out of nowhere! And said a bunch of weird stuff. Then I join and stuff.”

“Interesting...”

Knock.

Knock.

“Did someone knock?” I asked as I the faintest of taps on Írui‘s door echoed.

“I don’t know… I’ll go check.” She slowly got up to open the door.

“It’s just Quen… Hi Quen!” Írui turned to me with a smile, she then closed the room after Quen walked in a little bit.

“Hi, Ryo!. Oh! SSHSHHHSHSHS… I jus-I just-... put-I pit- I pit-I put…” Quen flutters her eyes trying to think of what to say.

“Haha. I. Puuut. Nelll, to bed! Hehe. So we have to be quiet.” She giggled with each word she said.

Írui nodded and walked over to the couch. Quen followed with a prance and slammed her butt on the couch, right next to me. With a big smile.

“What were ya talkin about?” Quen smiled.

“Írui’s biggest fan, hehe.” I chuckled.

“Oh, Elros?! Haha!” Quen chuckled with her face red.

“Shut up!” Írui whined.

“Elros confessed his love to her like a dozen times and she rejected him each time, Haha!” Quen giggled as she mocked Írui.

“Well, do you want to hear who Quen has a crush on, Ryosuke?” Írui pouted then looked at me.

Then Quen quickly covered Írui’s mouth.

“I don’t think Ryo wants to hear stuff like that.” Quen swiftly proclaimed.

Írui backed away and scowled at Quen.

They are like schoolgirls. Funny. It’s oddly refreshing to be around them. Or I'm just drunk.

The night was sadly coming to an end. The three of us talked about random things, laughing at seemingly nothing. Legs and arms comfortably sprawled over one another with a thick blanket to cover our chilled toes. We eventually started to yawn and somehow found ourselves perfectly squished in Írui’s bed, with Írui in the middle of Quen and I, only because we were all too tired and drunk to go to our own rooms.

Warm from each other, and the alcohol, we slowly threw random bits of clothing to cool off. Considering the amount of clothes Quen threw, I’m pretty sure she was almost completely nude, while I took my pants and underwear off, then Írui only took her shirt off. For some reason, we held one another's hands under the silky bed sheet. As I slowly drifted off into my dreams, I smiled as I looked at my sleeping friend's breathing gently.

What a fun night.
