It had been about an hour, and Rajvi had found her saving grace. There was one thing...[i]one thing[/i]...that could calm her down when she was in such a state, when there were so many people around her, when the crowds were so tightly pressed together that she could hardly move through them:

Alcohol.

Lots and [i]lots[/i] of alcohol.

Maybe a tumbler and a half—okay, two tumblers—of scotch into drinking, and she'd rapidly shifted into a bumbling, clingy, and intensely chatty person. Her face was colored a bright red, both from the drinks and from the cold, and the booze was having a really intense effect on her. It had been well over a year since she'd gotten properly drunk, and since she'd subsequently promised herself that she would never get drunk again. The glass in her hand sloshed as she put it down on a table nearby before approaching Victoria again.

"[color=ed145b]Vic—Victoria[/color]," she drawled, wrapping her arms around the shorter girl's shoulders and resting her chin on her head, "[color=ed145b]you...you're a nice person. You're a nice person.[/color]" It was fairly evident that she was quite beyond her normal limitations at the moment. 

Disengaging from Elsa—she laughed loopily as she thought of it—she stumbled straight into Milo, looking up at him without any of the prior fear and trepidation. "[color=ed145b]Milo,[/color]" she said, "[color=ed145b]Milo Milo Milo Milo![/color]" Then she reached her hand up and tweaked his nose, collapsing into a fit of giggles immediately afterwards. Some time halfway through her first tumbler, she'd undone her long braid, and her lengthy hair hung loose around her face, trailing nearly down to her thighs.

It was fairly obvious why she'd promised herself she'd never get drunk. When she was, she became...well, handsy, and given her usual demeanor, it tended to have uncomfortable ramifications later on, when she remembered that she was quite terrified of people and then discovered that she'd gotten a little too [i]friendly[/i] with someone. That had been an awkward Monday for her. However, she wasn't thinking about that at the moment. She was thinking about the fact that Milo smelled good.

And she told him so, too.
