He stumbles over his own feet as he enters the bar, then stops and blinks drunkenly at the room at large.
"Oh. Very well, then."

Setting her book down, she stood up from the sofa and helped him take a seat on the sofa. "Bar, could we have some water please...and some toast."
If he was drunk, he wasn't going to have a fun time tomorrow.
