[outsidebones]

You're drunk, too. On tonight of all nights.

[more scolding than angry.]

[cavaliered]

S'where you're wrong, I am tipsy. Not drunk. [she corrects, stroking harrow's hand with her thumb.] I'll be fine, darling.

[outsidebones]

Don't give me that.

[wrinkling her nose but allowing this.]

Drink water. You need to be able to defend yourself.

[cavaliered]

Ugh, you're so bossy.

[grumbles.] What's the point, Harrow, if I'm awake after all of you go to sleep, I'm dead anyway. It doesn't matter.

[this is so unnecessarily bratty.]

[outsidebones]

[it is, and she yanks her hand away, staring at her.]

If you're awake after we go to sleep, you have better win.

[cavaliered]

[she startles, a little, and stares down at her hand, which is now missing harrow's hand.

there's a pause, and her expression wavers, and then:]

... You got it. [she says, but it's way less flippant than before.]

[outsidebones]

Drink water.

[sternly.]

[cavaliered]

[her nose wrinkles.]

No.

[this is going to get her in so much trouble.]

[outsidebones]

[her nose wrinkles back.]

Explain yourself.

[cavaliered]

Don't order me around.

[:nyeh:]

[outsidebones]

I will, if you're being reckless with both of our lives.

[cavaliered]

I'm not.

[outsidebones]

Then explain.

[cavaliered]

[belligerently:] No.

[outsidebones]

You're making me angry.

[she scowls, but if anything, this is just upsetting her instead.]

Don't be like this.

[cavaliered]

[she just stares at harrow for a minute, flatly.

and then she hoists herself up to go get herself some water.]

[outsidebones]

[...good. she's still sulky, but gideon can get a hand back now.]

[cavaliered]

[she takes a drink, and then brings harrow's hand up to kiss her knuckles before setting their hands back down.]
