You heard something? [ Aradia settles Jane on the couch and after a moment takes the punch from Jane. She...has a suspicion here, mostly because she never had that much to drink and based on how other people have been acting.

A sip confirms that it tastes a bit off. Human soporifics? Well, we're putting that out of Jane's reach. ] Calm down, Jane!

[ And from sheer inexperience at human comfort, she sort of. Paps Jane on the cheek. This is how humans work, right? ] Why don't you think he liked it?

[healium]

[At least with the cup taken away, she won't get worse. Maybe. Thanks Rose. The pap has her hands coming up to rub at her eyes, shaking her head too quick to avoid not getting dizzy.]

He just looked at me like a deer in headlights! An owl with a flasshlight on it! Like.. he didn't underrstand why I did it even without a mistlletoe. He liked kisssing Dirk more I bet, Bro said they were kissingg!

[timelymaid]

[ Shoosh, Jane. Shoosh. If only she knew how to sober up humans. Fo now Aradia just looks...concerned. ]

...Well, did you tell him why you did it without mistletoe?

[healium]

No, but that'ss where it isss supposed to be ob.. obvvveeous!

[timelymaid]

...But it's Jake.

[ Like, she's only known him for about a month now but she's pretty certain obvious things are not that obvious to him. ]

[healium]

God daamn his stupid smile and stupid obblivous ness and stupid charmming attitude and stupid good lookss! [Is there a pillow on this couch? There is now and Jane is going to shake it in her drunken, upset frustration.]

[timelymaid]

[ More shoulder paps, because she's. Not one hundred percent certain how to handle this. ] Yes, well...I don't think you should take his being confused as his hating a kiss?

[healium]

He wass makingg g out witthh Diirk! MAKINGG OUUT!!!

[timelymaid]

[ Oh gosh raised voices SHOOSH JANE SHOOSH. ] Well, was there mistletoe involved?? Maybe they were just...playing around?

[healium]

[She will be so sorry about all this later.] But.. ddidn't want to do more than givve me a small.. kiss. [Quieting at least, but just looking more miserable.]

[timelymaid]

Maybe he was just being a gentleman? [ Why are there so many feelings here askjtrektjlekrt. ] ...Jane, I think maybe you should just talk to him about it! At least then you'd know?

[healium]

Noo, no, I can't faace him like thisss! [Covering her face and shaking her entire upper body in a giant NOOOO gesture.]

[timelymaid]

Well, uh, tomorrow, maybe? [ ...Actually speaking of her face hang on, Aradia will go get a napkin and a cup of water. And yes she's coming back to clean you up a bit girl. ]

...Did you kiss Gamzee?

[healium]

May...maybe, I don'tt thhink I willll want to tallk rightt away. [At least she's not on the verge of tears anymore, just sniffling. Reaching though to touch her face and wipe some of that grease paint off, Jane awkwardly smiles.]

I.. must haave? [Give her a moment, she's remembering tastes; something different than boozepunch, before holding her face again.] I thhink I learnedd how to fr..french.

[timelymaid]

[ oh god she's going to have to be sure to bring Jane tea and cookies or something in the morning, because wow.

Aradia's going to dab the napkin in the water after a second of complete brain shut down, after which she will reach over and start cleaning Jane up. ]

Maybe you shouldn't have any more punch...

[healium]

It tasstess good though.. [Closing her eyes, Jane just sits still to let Aradia clean her up, moving her glasses down to sit in her lap.]

And the.. the kisssing wasn't terribble, just not somme... somethh ing I had beffore.

[timelymaid]

Yes, but I think it has soporifics in it. [ It would be so much more useful if she knew the term that would be correct here. ]

Well...if it's something you wanted to do, that's fine?

[healium]

[The answer is JANE, YOU ARE DRUNK. GO HOME.]

I thhink I was dizzy and going to ffall? Caaught me and wanted a thhankss.

[timelymaid]

[ SHE'S NOT SURE SHE'S ALLOWED TO SAY THAT. ]

Maybe you should stay seated until the party is done.

[healium]

Misttle toe keeps moving anywayy. [Like now! Points up at it over them.]

[timelymaid]

I think it's the pokemon. [ SIGH. And if Jane was expecting more "french" she will be disappointed, because she's getting a chaste kiss on the cheek. She's got enough awkward to get her through into the new year, Aradia thinks. ]

[healium]

[Hell no. She's had enough frenching for the night. The fact that the kiss was chaste just has her thinking about Jake's face again and having her cover her own face up with her hands again.]

[timelymaid]

[ ...M-more shoulder pats? ] Oh, Jane...

[healium]

[At least she's not crying? Just. Wow tonight is special in so many ways.] I thhink I should.. wait here forr a few momentsss.

[timelymaid]

We can wait as long as you want.
