"Deceived by the sugary spectre, alas."

Soft giggle.

"It was terrible."

"You seemed to enjoy it at the time, at least."

"Yeah. Dancing with you was the nicest part, though..." Gentle nuzzle, so her head doesn't start spinning again. "Was nice until that nightmare..."

"It looked pretty bad."

"Yeah... Feel like it - shouldn't have been - it's silly it hit me that bad - "

Pat pat.

"You are a silly drunk."

Unhappy noise.

"Hey, hey now. It's okay. I'm right here."

Whine.

"Dreamed you weren't."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Snug.

She's still kind of drunk and really anxious so her thoughts don't make a lot of sense even to her, though - "But what if you met someone you really liked like Ellie likes Ruby and - stopped spending time with me - "

"But the one Ellie likes is Ruby, and Ruby is you, so if I end up liking someone it'd be you, and I've already met you, so I wouldn't be going off to spend time with someone else who isn't you."

"...There could be a me alt who was - single - though..."

"Lion," El says. "That sounds like a lot of extra work."

Nuzzle. "Love you."

"Love you too."

She grins, snuggling El. "Sorry I'm silly..."

Snuggle. "It's okay."

Happy hum.

...Eventually the fact that she has a body reasserts itself, meaning she can't actually stay in bed all day cuddling. Tragic. She sighs.

"Breakfast?"

"Sounds good. We can see if the others are up."

She gets up, yawning, and blinks down at her kind of rumpled clothes.

A quick clap (and finding her discarded hair sticks) gets them back to their normal condition.

Luckily they don't have to go out in the hallway to check on Ruby and Ellie - the door between their suites is unlocked. Bellona knocks.

An electric cat answers the door.

She blinks slowly.

Bellona blinks back.

"Uh, hey, we were wondering about breakfast?"

"It is about that time of day, isn't it. A moment, then."
