The happy smile that was on Tom's face due to seeing Grace and walking over to her was wiped off his face in a split second as Grace immediately insulted him for being drunk. He took a step back, looking genuinely wounded at her comments, before he crossed her arms at the softening of her tone. It was too late for that, thought drunk Tom, as he looked at Grace with a slight frown, simply pretending that Rumi wasn't there even when Grace attempted to make some small talk with him. [color=SteelBlue]"It's a party, I'm allowed to drink at a party, and especially a party hosted by my best friend. That doesn't make me an... an [i]idiot[/i]."[/color] He chewed on the last word, looking at Grace as severely as he could while tipsy. 

And then he was suddenly interrupted by a fairly drunken Joseph, who seemed to take it upon himself to barge in and give him some, what, advice? On how to deal with the situation? There wasn't even a situation to deal with, Tom thought to himself indignantly as he looked at Joseph. [color=SteelBlue]"I don't know what you're talking about, Joe... Stuff being lost, room temperature, you're not making sense, I don't need you to tell me about... stuff. There isn't even any stuff. So juuuust..."[/color] Tom moved Joseph's hand off his shoulder as gently as he could for a drunk person. [color=SteelBlue]"Go back to drinking, I don't need any advice, I don't even have stuff to advise on! Especially not from you, alcoholic..."[/color] 

Tom was then distracted by a familiar voice, and he saw Jamie suddenly running at full speed and entering herself into 6 cartwheels of a moderately decent quality. Tom laughed and cheered her as she cartwheeled along before dunking into the pool, Tom feeling some of the water fly out and splash him. But he didn't really care, it was just water after all. The smile from his face went again when he looked at Grace. [color=SteelBlue]"Whatever... If you don't wanna talk to me just because I drink, then fine. I'm allowed to have fun, but I guess being fun makes you an idiot!"[/color] He said coldly before turning on his heels and walking over to the pool, snickering as he looked down at Jamie. 

[color=SteelBlue]"I don't know whyyy you did that, but it was awesome... Next time you should do seven... No, eight! Yeah, eight... High five, anyway!"[/color] Tom crouched down and gave her a hearty high five before standing up and walking back past Grace, Joseph and Rumi and back towards the house, seeking out another drink, and maybe someone else to talk to. Hopefully someone that wouldn't care if he'd had a couple of drinks... Yeah, someone more fun, that he didn't have to know all about quantum physics or whatever to be [i]worthy[/i] of talking to.
