She actually probably shouldn't get drunk drunk. She was small and had no supernatural predilections in that area that she'd ever noticed. But she really missed the taste of cider and was very enthusiastic to have some again. She'd just be careful how much she had, to make sure she was in a right state of mind to escape later.
It was almost amusing to think of Avi as senselessly hoarding pretty people the same way he hoarded jewelry and gold. But after she thought about it, she realized it seemed like exactly what he was doing. He was a dragon through and through, he'd just expanded his repertoire to include people, most of whom he had sex with. This made sense, but the framing of her escaping as stealing herself from a dragon made the whole thing seem a lot more dangerous all of a sudden.
The return of the bright red blush came after the King suggested she call him Avi. She opened her mouth to try, squeaked a bit after the A, then shut her mouth. There was no way. She couldn't. That was Gareth's nickname for him; she didn't feel like she ought to be on Avi terms. "Sir works," she managed, voice strained enough to be far out of the range of a young man. She cleared her throat, still bright red. To make things worse, the King picked that moment to lick some oil or frosting or crumbs from the cake off of his gloves. She became very interested in the wheel of the cart they were passing. Sir had its own contexts, ones she'd rather not be thinking about. Sir could be a boss. Sir could be an older family member. But this was the King, so she was pretty sure it wasn't going to feel like either.
She was given a short-lived break when the King brought to her an alcohol stall to... get her moonshine instead of cider. She didn't particularly have any memories of elven moonshine. Not any clear ones, anyway. She'd gotten some last year, but no one would ever give her much, probably because she ninety pounds soaking wet even before her imprisonment and also every elf she traded with had known her when she was waist high. She eyed it dubiously, but curiously.
Maybe she could pretend to drink more of it than she did. She could act drunker. Would this increase the likelihood that the King would let his guard down long enough for her to escape, or would he baby her? It seemed like it could go either way. He'd probably get bored of her if she was too drunk, right? But he was too worried about pedophiles accosting her left and right to leave her passed out on a hay bale, at the same time.
"Yer..." She cleared her throat, a hint of the blush returning. "Sir," she corrected, managing barely to keep he voice from squeaking on it. "That's fer both of us, right? Cause I know everyone looks small t'ya and everyone seems to weigh nothin' at all, but..." she gestured down at herself. "I've never had moonshine before," she added, which was somewhat true. She had no real memories of having had moonshine before. She couldn't remember the taste, or, particularly, the effect.
"Oh, you're right, we can't have that," Bridget said, all mock-concern. "I'm not nearly drunk enough for you to have a chance yet."
The blanket toss was, as always, great fun. Bridget wasn't nearly as tall as Gareth, but she had the muscle to launch people to unsafe heights. It got a little bit mismatched after Gareth stopped, however, so after three or four more elves, the end of her time at the blanket was signaled to everyone by a blonde wolf four and a half feet at the shoulder taking a running jump into the blanket. She was heavy, but no more than an adult man really, and so even an unassisted squadron of elves managed to get her some air.
After she'd had her fun, she rolled off haphazardly. The shift back and forth with alcohol in her system always left her feeling silly and dizzy. She picked a likely looking elf, tall and burly, probably a lumberjack or a woodsmith or something, and charged at him with a gleeful bark.
"Auntie!" he yelled, and she pounced at him, transforming back to human mid-leap. She still collided with enough force to send him stumbling backwards, but he caught her in his arms nonetheless. She'd learned that trick from the King. Her head spun, and she laughed, but she could tell there was a lot more room for alcohol.
"Carry me to the moonshine!" she announced, then remembered she was supposed to be with Gareth, keeping an eye out for Grandpa Buck. "Carry me to Gareth, and then make him carry me to moonshine."
"Can't imagine that'll be hard," the elf, who she now recognized as Papa Tucker, said with a snort. "Just ask him nice."
"It's more fun if you try to bully him into it," Bridget said with a pout. "He'll do anything if you just ask nice."
Tucker chuckled, before finding Gareth in the crowd. It wasn't difficult. "Excuse me, sir, lost dog?" Bree gave him a thwap to the side of the head that was considerably softer than the one she'd given Gareth.
"Time for barrel of moonshine number two," she informed Gareth.
