Intoxication



The cloud of black was lifted from her eyes as she groaned and rubbed her forehead, a terrible headache pumping pain into her skull as she remembered what had happened last night. She had been out drinking with a woman called "Sefa", and after spotting her sister, persuaded her to join the fun until they all had enough. Carlotta could remember through her dim murky memories that she had managed to get outside the Pony and vomit before stumbling a few steps and finally collapsing behind the foundation. So stupid...

She could remember uttering random gibberish drinking songs, shoulder in shoulder with Sefa and waving their mugs in the air. She remembered tossing a gold coin to Barliman to buy an entire night's supply of Ale for everyone ("'Tis on me, everyone! Free drinks for all!"), and blundering about her rich status -- though she was silenced by Sefa after. She could also remember dragging her sister around and making her drink 3 glasses of wine (To which Carlotta was surprised. It took her 9...10? Tankards until she was completely intoxicated), and finally, talking loudly about burly men and hunting cows with someone called Rinni.

But to her surprise, as the memories from last night's merrymaking became sharper and clearer, she turned to a relieving realization.

She liked Sefa. And she liked drinking.
