Emmy flicked her eyes over at Rory when Shawn made the joke about writing lines to Callisto. It seemed more like flirting than joking, and that made Emmy curious as to what kind of relationship the two sort-of strangers had. It wasn’t polite to ask in front of them. Not that Emmy really cared about politeness, but Rory did, and she would bet her bottom dollar that Rory wouldn’t give her an honest answer if he knew that Shawn and Callisto were listening to his explanation.
Callisto made a comment about shots being a part of the reason they came, and Emmy let out a loud laugh. “Why only a part of the reason?” She asked. As far as she was concerned, dancing was only a secondary goal of clubbing. The real objective was to get entire trashed. Shawn seemed to understand that goal, though he was delusional if he thought that he was going to be able to drink her under a table. “You do know I’m Scottish, don’t you?” If her accent hadn’t given it away, then Emmy was sure that Rory’s apparently plentiful stories about her would have, and if Shawn was smart then he would know that Scots were champion drinkers. There wasn’t much else to do in the country. Of course, Emmy had left Scotland before she was of legal drinking age, but she still had the heart of a Scot on the inside. “I’ll go get some drinks, then!” She announced happily. Emmy tugged on Callisto’s arm. “Come with me? We can have some girl talk.” She said. Maybe she wouldn’t get a straight answer out of Rory, but she was sure if there was anything between Callisto and Shawn, Emmy could dig it out of the other woman.

He said he would have her writing lines about not rolling her eyes at him and she narrowed her eyes even more, not commenting further. It was easier for her to not speak sometimes when it came to Shawn, because she didn't have much control of over what she would say. There was nothing she hated more than not knowing what to say. Emmy called Shawn out on saying drinking was 'part' of the reason for their coming, and Callisto swallowed nervously. Was that the whole reason? No, no. There was dancing too, right? Shawn spoke about drinking them under the table, and Callisto raised an eyebrow. Rory said he was game and Callisto found herself inching closer to him nervously. Emmy mentioned her being Scottish, which was obvious, and Callisto smirked a little. Then Callisto was being tugged with Emmy, to get the drinks and have girl talk. Callisto looked at Rory with wide eyes, but let Emmy lead her. "So," she cleared her throat, "you and Rory pretty close?"@emilia @rory shawn lesley ashcroft

Emmy asked but more in a tone like she was reminding Shawn if he knew she was Scottish and he just laughed. “Hey, it doesn’t mean I’m not up for the challenge.” Shawn replied with a smirk while Rory just explained he was game for getting some drinks. The only one who didn’t seem fully on board was Callisto and he only hoped she would join them or wouldn’t feel left out if she didn’t. It wasn’t long till Emmy explained how she was going to get the drinks while pulling Callisto off for some girl talk along the way. Shawn just smiled as he watched them walking off. At least those two seemed to be hitting it off which was good sign he hoped but it did leave him and Rory there alone which wasn’t the worst thing. “So she seems nice, I’ll try not to embarrass you too much. Still no guarantees once I start drinking.” Shawn was just kidding, he had more self control when he was drinking than he gave himself credit for at times.

Watching Emmy and Shawn argue about who was better at drinking was definitely interesting, but Rory was careful to make sure he kept his expression neutral. He didn't want to turn their attention to him, because then he was sure he would be the one getting teased. Better to just let them have at it. He noticed Callisto moving over to him and he smiled at her, trying to reassure him that it would be fine, but before she reached him, Emmy grabbed her and dragged her away. Callisto looked at him again and Rory nodded, once more trying to show her that she'd be fine. Then he was alone with Shawn, which wasn't really a bad thing. His friend started talking about Emmy and Rory smiled. "She can be nice. Or feisty. I'm sure you'll get to know her pretty well tonight. Emmy doesn't really hold back." He laughed, "It's okay. I can handle whatever happens. The whole point of tonight is for us to have fun." He really hoped everyone would. He was glad Emmy came, that way it shouldn't get too awkward. He cocked his head to the side, "I didn't know you and Callisto knew one another." It was a comment, but also a question and he was sure Shawn would know that. @emilia @callisto shawn lesley ashcroft

Neither of the boys protested Emmy stealing Callisto away, which she had expected – Rory knew better than to get in her way when she had her mind stuck on something, and Shawn didn’t seem to care that much about anything other than having a good time. As they approached the bar, Callisto asked if she and Rory were close, and Emmy saw her opportunity. “Not as close as you and Shawn.” She said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. Emmy knew she was going out on a long, long limb by assuming that Callisto and Shawn were anything more than friends after having just met them, but she liked to consider herself a matchmaker in her own right, so even if the two weren’t romantically involved or considering becoming so, Emmy’s brilliance would push them together. She paused her commentary momentarily to order four shots, wiggling her eyebrows a little at Callisto as she did so. “In truth, the only thing I ever kept from Rory was magic.” Emmy said, deciding that it was better to be straight with the other woman. “He’s a bit of a numpty sometimes, but when I was seven I decided he was my numpty, and here we are.” She said, scooping up the shots as they were brought out so they could take them back to the boys.

Rory was trying to be encouraging with the smiles and nods and it was calming her nerves a little. Plus, Emmy seemed liked a pretty level headed person, which was nice. Callisto liked people like that. Emmy answered her by bringing up her and Shawn and Cal coughed a little, as if she could disguise the mild joking that was starting to happen. "We're not close. Just... getting close," she admitted. She had gone to lunch with Shawn when they ran into each other, but that was it so far. They were going to try and be friends, though, so that was where they were at. Emmy ordered the shots and said that the only thing she kept from Rory was the magic, and then nodded as Emmy went on to speak more about their relationship. "Numpty... is that a technical term for something?" she joked, then followed Emmy back to the boys. She stood in between Emmy and Rory, with Shawn across from her. She didn't look at him right away, her eyes on the glasses in Emmy's hands... shawn lesley ashcroft@rory @emilia

Both Rory and Shawn stood there waiting for the girls to return. He would have suggested finding some place they could sit but that would have made it harder for Callisto and Emmy to find them when they came back. “I think I’m beginning to see that.” Shawn replied as Rory explained how Emmy didn’t hold back and could be feisty at times. “The moment you two want some private time just give me some type of signal, okay?” Shawn was partly just teasing but he also wasn’t sure just what was going on between Rory and Emmy besides just being pen pals forever.
Rory brought up that fact that he didn’t know that Callisto and him knew each other. That wasn’t much of a surprise to Shawn as the situation was a little weird. “Yeah I used to annoy her back in school, which does probably describe half the student body back then.” He attempted to explain the best he could but it was true, he wasn’t one to avoid annoying people back then or now even. “I ran into her again a few weeks ago and well here we are.” There wasn’t much else to it than that even if it felt there might have been. Just starting to become friends. After he explained the girls returned with Emmy holding four drinks. “Welcome back, Rory was just telling me to not embarrass him tonight.”

Rory took a big breath once the girls were gone. He was a bit surprised by how nervous he was because he was the one who set this all up. Besides that, everyone seemed to be getting along quite nicely with one another. He chuckled a little when Shawn mentioned that he was starting to see how Emmy was and then started teasing about alone time. "It's- it's not like that," Rory answered, shaking his head. "I mean, not that I don't want- no- Emmy and I have never," he stopped, his face starting to burn. He glanced around for the girls, relieved when they weren't near. Emmy would tease him mercilessly if she saw him blushing. "Don't say anything," he said, his tone quite a bit more serious as he looked back to his friend. Yes, Shawn was a tease, but he wouldn't sell Rory out ... right? He grinned when Shawn mentioned that they knew one another in school, but that they ran into one another a few weeks ago. Rory couldn't tell if Shawn was looking for friendship or more than that, but he definitely wasn't about to say a thing. "Well I'm glad she knows you. That makes this a bit easier, I think." At least, hopefully it would make this outing easier on Callisto, who he knew wasn't entirely comfortable with the situation. Then the girls were back and Shawn teased him. Rory shot a fake glare at his friend and then turned to the girls, rolling his eyes. He really should have expected something like that. Reaching forward, Rory took one of the shots, waiting for the others. @emilia @callisto shawn lesley ashcroft

Callisto insisted that she and Shawn weren’t close, and Emmy shrugged. She knew that limb was long, but she had gone out on it anyways, even if it was just to make conversation with Callisto. “Rory and I are getting close, too.” Emmy said with a shrug. Her relationship with Rory was hard to quantify, because they’d never stopped being close, but there was also something different about seeing each other face to face, and not just writing letters to each other. She liked being able to reconnect with her best friend, but it was still… scary, to keep choosing to let him in. When Callisto asked if numpty was a technical term, Emmy let out a loud laugh. “He’s stupid, but the endearing sort of stupid.” Emmy said. Her explanation didn’t do the word much justice, but it was the best Emmy could do on their trip from the bar to the table.
Emmy laughed again when Shawn said Rory had asked him not to embarrass him. “He didn’t ask me anything of the sort, so I’ll just have to embarrass him enough for both of us.” Emmy replied, flipping her hair over her shoulder. She knew plenty of stories about Rory that would turn him pink in the face, and she had no qualms with bringing them out. Drunk Emmy would probably have even fewer qualms about it. Emmy took one of the shots, and grinned at the group. “No time like the present.” She said before knocking it back.

Emmy said that her and Rory were getting close, too, and Callisto relaxed a little. So they weren't a couple. That was good, for now. That meant Shawn and Callisto wouldn't be left on their own too much which meant that Callisto didn't have to worry about Shawn being so... Shawn and her being all... Shawn liking and all that. Oh dear, even her thoughts weren't making sense. Callisto did laugh at the 'endearingly stupid' comment in reference to Rory. "I think that's also a good way to describe Shawn," Callisto said with a short, firm nod. Almost as if discussing a business transaction. "But I like him," she added, not even realizing that she said it out loud. They were back to the boys and Callisto looked to Rory first, trying to give a smile that said 'thank you for inviting this girl lady for me to talk to, she is awesome and i am really grateful'. But, that was a lot to put into one smile to be translated... he'd figure it out. Her eyes immediately found Shawn as soon as Emmy was lifting her shot glass. She raised an eyebrow at him, taking a shot glass herself. But she waited to see if he would drink his first... before swallowing the one in her hand. shawn lesley ashcroft@emilia @rory

As Rory fumbled with how Shawn suggested if he wanted some alone time that was all he needed to know. He also enjoyed the serious tone in Rory’s voice that followed telling me to be quiet about what he just said. Shawn wasn’t a terrible person he wasn’t about to tell the world how someone else felt when they weren’t ready. “Don’t worry I’ll keep my mouth shut. I do request to at least be a groomsmen at the wedding, if not best man.” He elbowed Rory jokingly for a second. “If you do want a wing man I can just stick to impressive stories about you.” Shawn was sure he didn’t need the help and was just teasing but he would be quiet on anything that might make him sound too bad.
Shawn just laughed as Rory commented about how it was easier that Callisto and him already knew each other. “For sure, the only one whose a stranger here is Emmy and she’s already cool in my books after a few minutes.” He laughed as the Shawn already got the impression Emmy and him would get along just find. The girls returned and he just laughed while Emmy suggested she was under no such rule to not embarrass Rory and would do it twice as much to make up for Shawn. “I wasn’t aware I was going to meet my new best friend today.” Shawn joked as almost no one could replace that person in his books but Emmy would fit right in with any of his other friends. Shawn followed her lead grabbing his shot and downing it in one go. The all to familiar burning feeling that followed for him also, it was no firewhiskey but it was still there. “Would you two care to join us?” Shawn teased for a moment smiling toward Rory and Callisto as they both still had their shots in hand.

Rory nodded and couldn't help but feel a rush of relief when Shawn said he would keep his mouth shut, then proceeded to tease him about being groomsman. "Yeah, yeah," Rory muttered, not wanting to say anything else about it. At least, he wasn't going to until Shawn elbowed him and mentioned that he could stick to impressive stories if Rory wanted. He snorted. "Yeah, pretty sure Emmy wouldn't believe half of any of it. She doesn't need to hear impressive stories about me, she'll assume I asked you to tell her them and she'll just one-up me." He smiled as he considered the different ways Emmy might respond to stories about Rory and Shawn's exploits. He grinned when Shawn said that Emmy was cool, but didn't have time to say anything before the girls were there. Of course, Emmy was saying how she'd do her best to embarrass Rory and Shawn called her his new best friend. He caught the look from Callisto and smiled at her before Rory rolled his eyes at the other two. He was about to suggest he and Callisto go somewhere else, where they might be able to have more fun, but then Emmy and Shawn were draining their shot glasses. "Right behind you," Rory muttered as he swallowed his quickly, assuming Callisto was doing the same. He looked around the circle afterward, content to let Emmy or Shawn take control. He knew either of them would feel comfortable doing so and he wanted to relax a little more today. @emilia @callisto shawn lesley ashcroft

Shawn and Emmy drank first, big surprise, and seemed to be getting along swimmingly. It was kind of funny that the two healers were the ones not drinking yet. Callisto turned to Rory as he took his, and then she did the same. "So do we... dance now or just keeping drinking or what? I'm not familiar with this being out and about thing," she said in all honesty, standing a little closer to Emmy. The girl took another drink without even answering, and Callisto widened her eyes at her. This was going to be a long night, that much was clear. With Emmy and Shawn there to tease her and Rory there trying to be supportive but just as easy to tease as she was. She kind of felt like they were the nerds and Emmy and Shawn were the jocks who had dared each other to take the nerds on a date. Aside from the fact that Rory was the one who had planned on this. @rory shawn lesley ashcroft next!

“I’ll try to make them believable.” Shawn said with a smirk, as he couldn’t help but like the sound of this Emmy girl more and more. Rory had already made her sound like an interesting person and now that he had met her he would have to agree as well. He could only hope that Callisto was thinking the same thing. Shawn himself had a difficult time trying to have fun with Callisto when they first met. Still that was back when she was a first year and more so he was just goofing off while she was very serious already for a first year.
After they had taken their first shots Callisto asked what was next, dancing or more drinking. Emmy seemed to answer her question with an action which was taking another drink. Shawn was up for anything truthfully but he wasn’t about to be outdone just yet by Emmy. “Well you heard her.. well saw her.” Shawn teased for a moment looking in Callisto's way as he took another shot himself and downed it. “Still we can dance if you want, I didn’t take you for the dancing at a club type.” Shawn said smiling just having some fun hoping Callisto wouldn't take him too seriously, as if anyone ever took him seriously. “Same goes for you Rory, Emmy I would believe already and as for me. I don’t so much as dance as I just flail around to music in the background.”

Rory just chuckled and shook his head slightly when Shawn said that he'd make the stories believable. He did believe that Shawn could do that, he just wasn't sure how Emmy would respond to any of that. Then again, predicting what Emmy was ever going to do was a bit of a difficult thing. She was so impulsive and good at doing things she was interested in. Emmy took another drink when Callisto asked what was next and Rory glanced at Callisto, rolling his eyes in Emmy's direction. He wasn't a real big drinker, but he could tell that Emmy was sort of making it into a competition. Shawn followed suit, but Rory waited. Shawn said they could dance if they wanted and he smiled, "I'm fine dancing," he spoke up. Honestly, he'd rather dance than drink all night, even though he definitely wasn't a great dancer either. He glanced around and laughed, "I don't think most people here care about being a good dancer," he commented as well. A lot of them were flailing about, as Shawn described it. Then he shrugged, waiting to see what the others wanted to do. He wouldn't be really surprised if Emmy and Shawn kept up their little drinking competition thing, but maybe they wouldn't. @callisto next shawn lesley ashcroft
