Neptune's Reef, Hot Tub, Thursday

[walks_two_paths]

Savannah was trying to relax in one of the hot tubs at Neptune's Reef.

The hangover and everything else had made her decide that she wasn't about to try leaving the ship for any reason today.

She also might be wishing she had left her cell phone in her room... and couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't toss it overboard at some point today.


[[OOC: For any of the people that she may have called last night to call her back and WTF at her.]]

This was a very hung-over Sean calling his sister.

And when she'd finally answered her phone, it was a very hung-over Sean going, "It's YOUR fault I'm having four migraines at once!"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah whimpered. "Why is it my fault? I'm not even there," she whined.

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"You got married! And then drunkenly called me about it!"

But at least he didn't sound like he was going to kill her for it. Points to him?

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"At least I told you?" Her logic, be in fear of it.

Oh, it was apparently going to be one of those types of conversations.

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"But you didn't get married where I could walk you down the aisle!"

Apparently mutual hangovers cut right to the heart of the matter.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah winced. "We didn't plan to get married, Sean," she tried. "It just... Mai Tais are evil. Did you know that?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"You still got married, though!" He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm not gonna say you still should've thought of it, because alcohol in general is evil and fucks you up like that. But... I was looking forward to it, Savannah. And now it's another experience with you that I'm not going to get because Johnny got there first."

Which brought it to a grand total of TWO. But ssh, Sean's logic wasn't the best at the moment.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"As you so succintly put it, I was drunk! It wasn't planned and he didn't do it to screw you out of anything and if there ever is a real wedding -- which I would like for there to be one so that I damn well remember it and I hope he still wants to one day marry me after all of this, but I won't blame him if he doesn't -- you will be the one walking me down the aisle!" Savannah might have been near tears because while she had known he'd be upset about what had happened, she hadn't expected to find out that he was hurt by it and she didn't know how to deal with hurting her brother.

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

That loud thud in the background was Sean hitting his head against something hard. Several times.

"If a bit of drunken stupidity is enough to make him not want to marry you anymore, he's a fucking goddamn moron."

A pause. "And I get to buy you the next puppy you get. Not cool on him beating me to that one, either."

Hey, hangover!logic, remember?

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah sighed.

"It's him feeling pressured when he's sober that I'm worried about," Savannah said quietly, looking down at her hand where the promise ring from Johnny was again. "He's only eightteen and he's graduating and leaving in a few months. It's highly possible that he'll decide that I'm not the one for him."

Oh hangover!logic.

"You could get me one any time you want to."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"Uh... if he's already given you a promise ring, he wants to marry you. This might just delay it a little until you're both ready."

Another pause.

"But you already have a puppy. So it won't mean anything."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Idiot," she said quietly. "Anything that comes from you means a lot. You're my brother and you have a bond with me that no one can ever take away or replace."

Yep, so not commenting about whether or not Johnny would still want that after all of this. Avoidance was awesome.

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

And because he was also hung over, the avoidance went right on by him.

"I didn't get to get you your first puppy, though, and I wanted to." They'd had conversations about it. Hadn't they? Gah, head hurty. He couldn't remember.

Well... at least he wasn't yelling at her. Yay?

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She smiled. "So get me my first kitten," she suggested. "I've never had one of those. I can even show you what I found that I love, or you can surprise me."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

... ooh, he liked that idea.

"Why don't you show me what you found when you get back and I'll use it as a starting point?" he suggested. "Or email me a picture while you're gone and I'll have it for you when you get back."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah smiled. "Hang on a sec. I have a pic saved on my phone that I can send you right now."

Sean's reaction? Something incoherent involving "Awww asdfasfsaboo!"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah laughed softly. "Dork."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, pretty much," he agreed cheerfully.

"So. Forgive me for almost making you cry?" Because yes, he knew his sister's voice well enough to know she'd almost been in tears earlier.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"If you forgive me for the drunken shenanigans," she said with a smile. "And, you weren't supposed to notice the crying thing."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"Of course I do, kid," he said. "And I'm your brother -- of course I'm gonna notice."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"How livid is mom?" Because, well, if any one would know besides Gwynn, it would be Sean.

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't call it livid so much as I would still passed out face-down on the floor of my room."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Oh no." Savannah winced. "She took the news badly?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"No, just... flaily-y. Shut up, that is too a word."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

There may have been a soft whimper.

"At least I didn't tell Benicio or The Pack?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"See? Even when drunk, you're still smart and have an excellent sense of self-preservation."

The sound of incoherent grumbling into the carpet could be heard over the line.

"Oh, I think your mother just woke up."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah winced.

"Uhmm... is she okay?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"Sean, your carpet tastes like booze!" was the complaint that could be heard.

"... I'd go with yes on that one."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah facepalmed.

"How much did you guys drink last night?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure we both could've qualified for the lower limits of alcohol poisoning," he admitted. "Mostly 'cause playing drinking games with infomercials is a really quick way to get drunk as is and drinking on top of that? Yeah."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah pulled the phone away from her ear to shake her head.

"Infomercial drinking games?"

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"Seriously, try it. One swig for every time they mention the product name, one for every time they use it in two successive sentences, one for every time they go 'but that's not all', the list goes on."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god. You guys are lucky you didn't get alcohol poisoning, Sean."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"I know that! Well, I know that now," he added. "And once your mother pries her face out of my carpet, she'll know it, too."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah laughed softly. "She'll need coffee and three aspirin and make her call Gwynn to let her know she's still alive."

[bigbrothersean.livejournal.com]

"I handwavily took care of the phone call already," Sean assured her. "I'm pretty sure Gwynn thinks I'm mentally deficient now, but she does know the roomie isn't dead in a ditch somewhere or something."
