[disagree]

[ huh, now that makes even less sense. how can someone like marie have a daughter around eula's age when she still... looks like that........ eula would like to parse this in her head right now, but it's a little impossible with the fog of alcohol clouding her brain at the moment. ]

To you, maybe. You haven't been here for long...

[ but she's hoisted up to her feet before she makes any more arguments. as if her face isn't red enough?? at least marie is strong enough to guide her out the door and into the streets on her own, so eula will lean on her just for this. ]

But... Take your time. I'll be fine.

[ she's not uncivilized to throw up all over the place unprecedented, thankfully. she'll do that at home. for now she follows marie's lead, step by slow step. ]

ur fine

[adversus]

[She's careful to move Eula, arm wrapped around her midriff to keep her close. The other one holding onto her arm, that's been hefted over her shoulder for comfortable transportation. Lucky for her, Eula appeared to feel light in her arms, and it was easy for her to walk. Slowly, but surely taking each step forward, and making it easy for Eula to walk, in turn. Her eyes glancing back toward the younger girl every so often as they walk, wanting to make sure she was alright.]

I know. But I am curious as to why you drank so much.

[It was the mother in her that was concerned, really. But still, she doesn't want to pry too much, if Eula didn't want to talk about it. Instead, she simply keeps walking. Keeping her eyes peeled for these Enma apartments that the barkeep gave her directions to.]

This will be my first time in Enma territory... Hopefully they won't mind that I'm here, hehe.

[disagree]

It's... [ another cute burp. help. ] Nothing, really. I'm used to getting drunk like this...

[ all too used to it. it'd be funny to look back on this a month later, when eula's acquired a lot of friends compared to back home, but for now she doesn't know that. amber's usually the one who'd accompany her home after a long night of drinking herself silly like this, so she's not used to an acquaintance helping her like this.

it's help that she desperately needs, though. the enma territory is very orderly, as one might expect from the faction that looks over order, but it's still rather eerie how there's nothing fun going on over here compared to the other districts. but aside from the weird looks they'll both be getting as they make their way to the apartments, no one approaches them.

it's not too far, at least. she'll take care of the security once they arrive at their destination. marie is no threat, she'd say. ]

[adversus]

[That's... Depressing. Although there were days where she would drink alone, it was definitely by choice. There was something about her words that makes her think that wasn't the case, and she doesn't hesitate to speak up. A genuine kindness audible in her voice, letting Eula know that she wasn't just saying it for the sake of just saying it.]

You know, if you ever need a friend to drink with you, you can call on me anytime. I don't mind coming out if you need the company. In fact, I think I'd enjoy it.

[As she speaks, she ignores the stares that they begin to receive. She isn't fond of being stared at, but she doesn't let it get under her skin as they walk to the apartments. Which isn't too far now, arriving at the entrance of the apartment, where they're unsurprisingly stopped by security. Marie getting a very stern, and cautious look directed toward her, but she ignores it, and glances over at Eula.]

I mean no harm. I'm just here to bring her home, safely.

[disagree]

[ eula's pretty inebriated at this point, but her ears catch the other woman's words somehow. ]

R-Really...?

[ it comes out more slurred than she'd intended, but she sounds a little surprised, like she couldn't believe someone would come out of their way to hang out with her. growing up being hated by an entire nation for just breathing the same air as them can do that to someone. ]

I'd. Like that, actually... Thank you.

[ they arrive at the apartment entrance, and while the guards are initially apprehensive at seeing a ranked officer looking this pathetic, they give marie a curt nod and even give her directions to eula's door. how nice of them. ]

[adversus]

[Something about that makes her heart absolutely melt, but it's as she expected. This girl had a weight on her shoulders back home, and it's something that she would absolutely listen to, when they weren't walking her home in a drunken state. Still, Marie gives Eula a comforting squeeze with her arm. Careful not to aggravate her dizziness, but enough to let her know that she meant every word of it.]

Really. I'll even listen to all your troubles, without judgment. I can promise you that, sweetheart. You aren't alone.

[With more detailed directions, she gives a thankful not to the guard. Her eyes peering over at Eula once again, before motioning her forward and into the building. Careful with every step again, before they finally make it to her room.]

I'll fish out your keys, so don't worry about moving too much.

[While it's a bit invasive, she's careful not to move Eula as her hands begin to fish for her keys. Immediately grabbing them once she feels cold metal against her skin. Quickly fishing it out, and using the key to unlock her door. Immediately guiding Eula into her bedroom, before looking at her with a soft, but understanding look.]

Do you need me to bring you to the bathroom?

[disagree]

[ sweet... heart... only mothers and the like would say those kinds of words, and they're never directed at eula until now. she could cry in marie's arms if any of this isn't humiliating enough.

eula's head just keeps noddling idly while marie takes care of the keys, letting themselves inside and finally resting her head on her bed. marie keeps talking, as if to ensure that she really is here at this very moment, and eula's doing all she can to focus her gaze on the other woman. it's hard to do so, but it's the least she can do. ]

N-No. I don't feel... You know. Yet.

[ she will rush to the bathroom and throw up long after marie's gone, however. ]

But you could... get me something to eat later...? Sorry for asking this.

[ she owes her so, so much that it's embarrassing. oh well, she'll think about it once her head's cleared up. ]

[adversus]

[Marie's presence does hover for a moment, eyes glazed downward once Eula is in bed. Both hands already reaching for the sheets, and pulling it halfway against her body. Just to ensure that it's not too hot, but also not too cold; the alcohol probably making her body feel a bit more warm than usual. Still, it's a loving gesture, and she kneels down to sit at the edge of the bed. One hand already reaching for her blue strands, and tucking it behind her ear to get her hair out of her face again.]

Of course I can. What did you want to have?

[There's no sense of judgment in her voice, and in fact, her expression is soft and gentle. Hand brushing back some of those strands again, in a soothing motion. Careful not to add too much pressure onto her head, but enough to where Marie attempts to soothe her aching head from all that drinking. Her fingers surprisingly gentle, and comforting against her scalp, before pulling her hand away.

It was something that she tended to do with her children when they had horrible headaches, and this was no different. She would sit by her, too, until Eula told her to go away, or if she needed something.]

I'll stay for as long as you want me to. I'm here for you.
