Kale continued to follow a bit behind.

It wasn't hard to figure out as Wolfe pulled out yet another cigarette.

Laurel giggled as she started kissing him. She was definitely actually drunk now. Some of her lipstick was already on Raven.

It was difficult for Raven to refrain from saying anything, but somehow he managed it. But he was drunk enough to have forgotten to wipe Laurel's lipstick off his face.

Nic didn't stop Laurel, but he did his best to keep her mostly under control.

Wolfe seemed to examine the lipstick for a moment then went back to smoking.

Laurel seemed to be having fun. A much different atmosphere than James and Yue.

Kale finally grabbed Blaze's arm, "Sit down before you fall down," he advised.

Raven blinked, wondering what that look was for.

Blaze tried to shake Kale's arm off. "You're not my nanny," she spat at him.

Wolfe tossed Raven a towel.

Kale sighed and let go.

Raven managed to catch the towel, glancing at it before looking back at Wolfe for an explanation.

So Blaze kept walking. Until she fell down.

Wolfe sighed and finally walked over, biting down on the cigarette as he grabbed the towel from Raven and started wiping off Raven's face. Snow giggled.

Kale sighed and walked over to her, "Told you so," he muttered.

"Huh?" Raven asked as Wolfe wiped off his face.

Blaze cussed a little before going for the last of her drink.

"You left some Laurel on you," Wolfe drawled.

Kale let her, taking a seat beside her.

Raven was confused until he saw the lipstick on the towel. Then he simply pointed at Laurel, blaming her.

At least Blaze was sane enough not to try standing again right away. But she didn't look like she wanted to talk either.

When they got back, James scooped up Yue in his arms and walked off.

Laurel had fallen asleep in Nic's arms.

Wolfe was still chain smoking. The other neonates scattered.

--

Kale sighed, "You're stone drunk, purplehead," he stated.

Yue's face was still buried in James' chest.

Nic carefully picked Laurel up and started to take her to her room.

Raven rubbed Wolfe's arm a little when everyone else was gone. "... What happened?" he asked quietly.

--

Blaze said nothing, tossing the empty bottle away.

Wolfe didn't seem to want to talk.

--

"I don't... understand you," Kale sighed as he caught the bottle before it shattered on the rocks.

Raven didn't ask again, but he tried to give Wolfe a hug.

--

Blaze snorted before laying back on the rocks.

Wolfe let him but didn't hug him back.

--

"And... you don't understand me at all," he sighed.

Raven didn't seem to care. But he didn't seem to want to let go either.

--

Blaze said nothing, trying to get a little more comfortable.
