[ The fun that had been on Helena's mind, the joy in her voice and expression quickly dropped at Myka's complaint, it feeling more like a snap whilst she were drunk than it was. She was enjoying herself, simply and freely but apparently that was a bad thing ]

Then you can go. [ It's a little snappish back, and she's making a point to not really look at Myka ] I didn't ask you to come. [ The gesture seems seems to only be appreciated if it doesn't come with a buzz kill ]

[thedetails]

[Myka's mouth dropped open, clearly hurt and she gave a disdainful sigh and slipped into one the bar seats. At this rate, there was no way she was getting home a decent hour. Her free day tomorrow was going to be spend sleeping like most of her free days were since she joined the Warehouse.]

You called me. [Might as well reminded her of that - if she didn't want a killjoy maybe she should have drunk dialed Claudia.] You know, that is basically an invitation.

[It's really not, but Myka does her best to inject some kind of humor into her tone, hoping that that it might lighten the foul mood that has seemed to already develop between them.]

[mirabilis]

An invitation for you to be here. [ To enjoy the moment with her, not to simply take the moment away. She wasn't ready for that, not when this had been the most she'd enjoyed herself in a while ]

I haven't heard a better suggestion. [ She may leave if there's something else, better than a 'I'm taking you home and putting you to bed' ]

[thedetails]

Helena, don't be upset.

[Myka didn't really have a better suggestion. She was just tired and didn't like bars, but she liked the idea of leaving a drunk Helena on her own even less.]

We'll stay if you want.

[mirabilis]

No.

[ She was already upset, and she wasn't having fun any more. Congratulations, Miss Buzz Kill, it worked ]

We'll go. [ Just don't expect her to go to bed, she's going to stay up and be defiant. And sleep all day. Or be ill ] You clearly don't want to be here.

[thedetails]

[Now Myka just feels awful and guilty, but hopefully Helena's sulking is the alcohol and will clear up by the morning.]

Come on. I'll drive you back. [She stands up, huffing a sigh.] I just... I don't do well in bars, Helena. I figured you'd called because you wanted me to come pick you up.

[mirabilis]

You thought wrong. [ Her words are harsher, and less well chosen than they may normally have been. She isn't really thinking, and at the minute she certainly isn't thinking about how her words might come across to Myka ]

We could have gone somewhere else. [ And there's a small pause, long enough for Helena to finish up her drink before picking up her bag ] I'd called you to spend the time with you. [ Maybe it had been the wrong time, and maybe she'd certainly drank too much, but it was the thought behind it at least. Other than being on a case they rarely spent any time together, not for just normal friend things. That was what Helena had wanted, and when she looks back at Myka, sliding from her stool, her expression is a little softer than the sulking she'd been before. But she's still sulking ]

[thedetails]

[Myka looked down at the bar top, the guilt from forcing her friend to go home apparent on her face. Sometimes, she really did hate having to be the mature, level-headed one on the team. Not that she was really interested in a bar, but she did enjoy spending time with Helena and had yearned for them to spend moments together that didn't hinge on artifacts or the fate of the world.

She reached out and took Helena's hand, stalling her.] No, we'll stay. One more drink won't hurt and I don't want to ruin your night. [She also didn't want Helena angry with her. Things at the Warehouse weren't always perfect and Myka wanted to be Helena's ally. A petty fight over staying at a bar wasn't worth the trouble.] I'd like to spend time with you, too.

[mirabilis]

And what about the rest?

[ The things that Myka had had planned for the morning, and the fact that she didn't like bars. Myka had made all of that incredibly evident before. And here she now was saying that staying would be alright. She needed a little convincing ]

[thedetails]

I'll... set two alarms and make sure I brush my teeth. It's not a big deal.

[It's sort of a big deal because Myka really doesn't like bars but getting over that is easier than having Helena be angry at her.]
