"the answer's still no, honey," sounding very much as if she wanted to call him something a whole lot worse, mary stood her ground behind the counter, hands on hips, until the wizard turned on his heel and stalked off again. she was sure he'd be back before the game kicked off to try his arm again, just as he had already, but it didn't matter how many times he asked - none of the booths were allowed to serve alcohol until five, and mary wasn't going to be the one to get ned's license revoked for the sake of ONE man. her mood had been sour to start with, a wicked combination of the nervous energy she had nowhere to store and the fact that she'd been answering the exact same question since they'd opened up the shutters. now she was barely holding the customer service persona together, evidenced in the way that the smile she flashes her next customer doesn't quite reach her eyes. "i hope you heard that, love. it's just food and non alcoholics for the minute. still want anything ?"

catching the tail end of roshana's rather one sided conversation, he doesn't take any offense when she proceeds to shoulder jostle him. it's his own fault for reaching down for that enraging piece of rubbish in the same moment as her but without making his presence known, and when he pulls back - rubbing his shoulder where the pain lies, but only to smooth it out - he does so with enough of a friendly smile in place to communicate that all is well with them. " bad day, " it's not really a question. she seems to be struggling and he knows what that's like, even if he doesn't have to go through the same troubles as usual by virtue of being on one of the charity teams. " you've got a lot more coming to you before the day's done, my friend. if you took to drinking on the job, i'd get it. "

"ohhh, okay !" astoria trills, absolutely delighted to be drawn itno minette's orbit, even if it's only for a moment. unsteady on her heels ( thanks to copious amounts of alcohol AND her own inability to walk well in them sober ), she holds tight to the others hands for the sole purpose of keeping herself upright as she dances to the music blaring from the nearest speaker. "you look really pretty-" she tells her, shouting as loud as she can over the noise, a slight stumble over her own feet prompting the next words out of her mouth, "oops, sorry, i have two left feet."

Tumblr media
celebrations and commiserations alike were spread out after the game, whether privately or around the campgrounds, and minette was never one to turn down a good party. her throat was already hoarse from the screaming and hollering she had done during the match, but who needed a voice when your skills on the dancefloor spoke for themselves (not great, but having a good time). in the moment, minette grabs the hands of the nearest person and pulls them to her, bringing them into the throng of the makeshift dancefloor. "come on! get movin' will you!"

the usual discomfort at being perceived does NOT come when he's recognized, instead he offers a gentle smile. "yeah, that's my name... yours?" he's already walking towards them, one hand outstretched for them to take if they wish to do so, just in case there was a need for an equally drunk but steadier hand. he can hear the cheers from other people in the background, and he can guess it's almost time to head back down and continue giving his liver a hard time. "wanna come with? i have my wallet now, can invite you a drink or two if you haven't tapped out yet."
Tumblr media
"damaris," they tell him, misreading the offer of a steadying hand as a formal greeting and gripping it more as a handshake than anything else, "you're, like... really important. i didn't think that important people got drunk with riff raff." not that they consider themself to BE riff raff, per se, but there's a definite wage gap between them both that in damaris' mind dictates viktor be sipping on expensive whiskey's from equally expensive tumblers while they down a solo cup of jungle juice. there's just a novelty to all this that they can't ignore. "you know what, viktor ?" they delight in his name, or more accurately the feeling that they could be on a first name basis, and smile widely back at him, "i'd really like that. and just between you and me, i've got half a joint in my back pocket that you're more than welcome to share, so..."

to her credit, astoria isn't really fazed by oskar's momentary silence. it's hard to tell if she even notices it - her own words are matter of fact, cheerily spoken as she taps away at her phone tries ( in vain ) to upload her bereal. she's never missed one yet, and the prospect of it happening now, all because of the dodgy cell connection at the campgrounds ... well, she's not bad enough to have a tear brought to her eye or anything, but it's still a bit of a bummer. " oh, he's probably right. i have an awful track record, " still blind to his brief discomfort, astoria looks up at him with a sweet smile & twinkling eyes - her amusement at his anecdote clear to see, " but don't worry : i'm still not going to let it stop me. i'm very pretty, and historically, very pretty girls that die tragically get all the podcasts and netflix documentaries, regardless of whether the thames was involved or not. i'll be fine.
