Had a point. Everything ended eventually, it seemed like a better idea to secure happiness when one could find it, than shun it and stay miserable forever. The only caveat was... If you grew accustomed to the misery, that was it... Whereas being visited by it time and again could potentially destroy one emotionally long before they were ready. There were always multiple sides to an outcome... But maybe she was right. It had been such a long time that he carried his misery.<br/><br/>"Mmmn, am I now? Maybe I should take that as a compliment, heh... I like to think I've been pretty good tonight... I think. Maybe I got a little handsy, it's all hazy... Well, not as hazy as before but still hazy..." Albion mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. Honestly, he could really just go for another drink right now, but he knew Gilliam wouldn't let him get anymore tonight. Fortunately, he had a plan...<br/><br/>"Hm... I get what you're saying... Sort-of, but my mind is made up... I'll continue to help her and be there for her until I can overcome my worries... Then, maybe I can find the right words..." He hummed, shakily standing up and finishing the last of his coffee. None of the glass bottles that once contained alcohol seemed to have even a drop of them left, so he would need to get home to get the buzz he wanted once his company left. She seemed like she was just going to help him home and that was it.<br/><br/>However, she surprised him with the offer for 200k yen to stay with him til morning, nothing short of a dream. "For real...? You're too kind to me, sweetheart..." Albion gave a soft giggle, leaning in to lick her cheek gently, as he slowly stumbled out of Deadline and breathed in the cool night air. Seeing her hand outstretch already, he reached into his pocket to withdraw the payment before placing the bills into her hand. "For the good service tonight. Just wanted to pay before I forget..." His vision was still blurry, but the fuzzy pink image was evidence enough that his company was still there and not a drunken manifestation.<br/><br/>"Fair warning, I can't see very well... Or read very well right now... I think it was this way...?" He mumbled, inadvertently pulling Nerissa in the wrong direction to his home. Fortunately, she would probably remember better than he could right now...
