He's left with the feeling he's overlooking something REALLY obvious here, but it's been an evening already. He winces in sympathy at her description of her plans.
>"Oof, that doesn't sound like any fun. Not that our evening was supposed to be any better. We're refugees from this party we didn't really wanna be at. It's this bikini party, for all the wrestlers in the WWA, and..... well, we got asked by one of 'em to come by even though we'd be the only two guys there and that'd get super AWKWARD. So we were in these tiny little swimsuits that didn't cover ANYTHING, it was so embarrassing. Anyway, we lucked out when security stopped us at the door and didn't let us in. Didn't need to tell me twice! We ditched out on that place fast as can be, and came here for a couple drinks."Bree grins.
>"So of course, hang out here and join us! We're having Dr. Better and Captain Rileys to start--"Goss's eyes get a little bigger.
>"To START? Brian, I-I don't know about spending all night out here getting drunk in a bar. And weren't you gonna drive?"Bree smiles at him.
>"Relax, I got you covered. I'll get you a Raguber when you're ready to go, since I was gonna be your ride home. As for me, I'm staying back in the apartment-slash-studio just a few blocks over that way, so I'll just walk back when I'm done and get the van tomorrow."Bree looks back at Kelly and raises his glass.
>"Anyway, Kelly, it is our pleasure to meet you, and we're damn happy to have you here with us. Here's to ditching out on shit we didn't wanna do anyway!"
