That was just enough to bring out the hellion she'd been working so hard at suppressing since the King barged in her door. She looked indignant, almost offended, at the mere suggestion. "No! Are you kiddin' me? I call 'im 'boss' when I'm in a good mood. More accurate titles include 'shithead,' 'dick-for-brains,' 'motherfucker,' 'asshole,' 'sparkles,'" She was, at this point, counting them off on her fingers. "I stopped callin' 'is mom a whore once I found out she was a succubus--just rude, that--but,"
She was still listing increasingly colorful insults that she enjoyed calling Gareth as the King dragged her away from the moonshine-vending elf, which was just as well since he reminded her a little bit of Byron's foggy memories of Gareth chopping wood.
He handed her the whole entire jar, now open. She eyed it uncertainly, and took a sniff. She recoiled from it, horrified. "We're sure this ain't fuel, right?" She took another sniff, more cautiously, but the King was grinning a grin that told her on no uncertain terms that he was very amused by how naive and unworldly she was acting, and she got a stubborn set to her jaw.
Predictably, she took an unfeasibly large mouthful of the drink and got about halfway through swallowing before she started to choke. Her hand spasmed against the jar, the other one closing on the King's wrist, as if for stability. She was. Not. Going to spray the King with apple-scented gasoline. Wincing, her fingers digging into his sleeve, she tried again to swallow, and managed it this time.
Her eyes were watering. Some of it had started going up her nose. Her entire face burned, and her throat felt like she'd just swallowed liquid fire, even more than when she actually kind of did that a little bit with Gareth.
"You absolutely did that on purpose, an' I knew you were, an' I still fuckin' did it," she wheezed. She thudded her head against his chest to keep from falling over as she felt a surge of dizziness or endorphins or something. Her hand was still on his wrist, because she'd forgotten to take it off, but her grip was less desperate.
She was never this stupid with Gareth. That was a lie. She was exactly this stupid with Gareth, he just took advantage in entirely different ways. If he could see this, he'd fuss over her and wipe her watering eyes and scold the King.
"I'm the only person here who can kick you in the junk without breaking my foot," she warned him, but he threw her over his shoulder so the threat was somewhat empty. She mollified herself somewhat with the knowledge that she could technically do the same to him, he just didn't fit as well.
"Trying to get myself drunk." She watched idly over his shoulder as they walked past a very tall man giving a very short man what was very clearly his first drink of moonshine. She figured they were both men, anyway. Some werewolves would tell you they could tell with just a whiff. Those werewolves were gender essentialists and Bridget Corey did not care for them. "And you've never been able to do anything straight for as long as I've known you, so let's not blame the alcohol, hmm?"
When they got to the table where they had her moonshine of choice, she wiggled around to sit on Gareth's shoulders again, holding out wide arms to Papa Clint. "Booze, please!"
Clint, a man with a very nice beard who knew her very well by now, pulled a two gallon jug with a little ring on the neck out from under the table.
"Have I told you yet today that I love you, Papa Clint?"
"We hadn't reached that level of drunk before now, no."
"I love you, you are the light of my life." She made more grabby hands at the alcohol until Gareth passed it up to her. She balanced the jug on top of his head; there was an audible POP as she pulled the cork out. "Give my man-servant whatever his heart desires, Clint! I'm paying."
"No one's paying, Auntie."
"That's what makes it so easy!" She took a long chug from the bottle. It didn't burn any less just because she was a werewolf, but you had to learn to tolerate these things if you wanted to get drunk. After she stopped, she immediately burped rather loudly despite trying to cover it. "Ugh. This is why I'm single." It was not even close to why she was single.
