[they aren't dating, no. but they've done a lot together despite not knowing each other for very long. Lina isn't the type to get possessive, or at least she doesn't think so, but there are a lot of other unknown variables here.]

I don't think so. I can't tell you who to think is cute! [she might as well be honest about it.] If we do end up in anything serious and you still wanna flirt with other people, I won't even look at you funny.

[the size of that if is enormous, of course.]

Oh wow, you're just trying to sell yourself up more! You really might be a bit drunk.

[ Nat snorts at that, but it might be... a deflection, almost. Her cheeks color. That's... a big if. A big one. The fact is. Natalia is somewhat hypocritically the jealous sort if she does sense some seriousness between her and someone else. ]

Mayyybe.

[she lets a coy giggle come out with that, as though it's not totally obvious.]

How is it me trying to upsell myself if I'm—oh my gosh, you want a girl who doesn't get jealous! You're such a player!

No, am not! [ A player, that is.

But that still makes her cheeks color more. It might be a sign she's a little tipsy too that Natalia doesn't just move past it smoothly... ]

[usually Natalia is quick with a line or something, something to deflect and move things away from her. Lina's not gone enough to let this go unnoticed, but she doesn't have anything smart to say about it, really. she leans forward and touches Natalia's shoulder.]

Don't worry. I won't be sad if you find somebody better and prettier than me to have fun with. [she giggles and really emphasizes the playful tone into her words.] I'll just be impressed that someone like that exists!

[ She... pouts. Actively pouts a little. Humph! ]

That's confident of you! And after all I've done for you!

[ That said... ]

... It would be surprising, though.

I wouldn't be surprised. You could get any girl in this entire city. And I think you know it!

[aw, here comes the flattery to make up for that pout. if she were really far gone, she'd be sprawled out on the table and looking upwards at Natalia, but right now she still has her motor functions and that's something to be proud of.]

That's why it means so much to me that you're spending all this time with me. We're just friends and I'm here eating up a night you could spend with anybody else. [she closes her eyes and smiles at her friend.] I must be doing something right to keep your attention.

[ Any girl in the entire city...? ]

Any of the guys too, I'll add!

[ But she blows out from her lips and laughs, as if that were comical. and well, it was? But even so, she hums a little and focuses on Lina again, her blue hair... ]

But how can I resist when you look in so much higher spirits now?

[Lina giggles, one hand coming to cover her mouth in the most demure gesture she can manage while drunk.]

It's only because of you, Natalia. You bisexual icon. [she's being goofy on purpose now, but she's very... very happy that Natalia is putting up with her.] You made everything so much better tonight. Thank you.

You're welcome.

[ She responds with a smile. ]

So... should I get you home or... [ Well, Lina lives with missing parents, right? ] You can sleep on my couch?

[Lina smiles with her entire face at the offer and lets out a contented sigh. if she were completely sober, she would probably appreciate the lengths to which Natalia is going to make sure she doesn't have to walk home into an empty house. right now, though, falling asleep on the couch of the girl she totally kissed tonight just sounds like a really nice time.]

Yeah. Let's do that. I can still walk, I promise. [she giggles; her balance hasn't suddenly gotten that poor.] I don't know if I should be doing a lot more talking but I can definitely still walk.

Mmm, mm. It's fine. You don't need to talk, Lina.

[ And Nat finishes off her drink and - well, it's late? Even if there literally is no chance at anyone dangerous coming to them unless there's someone dangerous on the app, it's better to go now before it gets darker, right? So she'll stand and...

Bring Lina to her car a few blocks off and then they can drive back to Nat's apartment and it'll be a night. ]
