One of those clouds of depression hung heavily over Noel. She... really didn't want to be here right now. On top of everything that's happened, she's also having a major identity crisis. Part of her wants to try and find a way to get home so she could get some answers regarding what she is, but the other part is screaming at her to just stay here and forget about recovering her lost memories. She really wanted some time to just sit and deliberate alone.

When she heard what Ada had to say, however... She realized how much everyone acting so gloomy had affected those who had no idea what's going on. Ada worked so hard in trying cheer them up... Noel would feel bad if she just brushed it off.

"Um... Th-That's very thoughtful of you, Miss Ada," she comments nervously, trying her best to maintain an appreciative smile. "Umm... Thank you very much?"

2/2 I changed my mind

A few seconds later...

Noel is passed out on the sofa, her face flushed and the empty champagne glass lying on the floor. Why is the room spinning? Why does her body feel so light? And why is it so stuffy in this room?

[purethingsonly]

Even without knowing what was going on, Ada kept reminding herself that she had to stay strong and keep trying rather than give up. That had been the idea behind all this anyway. So she was happy when Noel accepted the glass, a smile lighting up her face.

"It's nothing much... Just my way of trying to help." She wasn't sure how much it would help, but just the fact that some would accept her attempt was enough, really.

She got her own glass once she was finished taking care of handing out some to the others. The bottle, still not completely empty, sat on the table, should someone want more. Ada took a large gulp, thinking nothing of it at the time. And it wasn't much later that she found herself sitting on the sofa next to Noel's body, feeling her cheeks burning and her body a bit... off balance.

Looking over at Noel, she blinked. And a second later she was giggling, setting the empty glass down and reaching over to shake Noel gently.

"Wake up~~"

Her voice was a bit more giddy than usual; almost excited.

[unsureazure]

"... Mm?"

Noel blinks awake upon being shaken, and groggily rubs her eyes. She narrows her eyes, trying to focus her blurry vision on whoever disturbed her slumber. Upon recognition---or maybe just satisfied enough knowing that there was a person in front of her---Noel gives the most carefree smile that was humanly possible.

"Oh..." she greets the other girl by pulling her into a hug. It may or may not have been a very squishy hug. "Good~♥ mor~♥ ning~♥"

[purethingsonly]

Ada blinked, but quickly returned the hug, smiling at the cheerful response she got. This really seemed to be helping. "Good morning~" She giggled, hugging her tightly.

She was glad after all the gloom that someone seemed truly happy. It was such a relief.

"Did you sleep well~?"

[unsureazure]

In response to that, Noel pulls back a bit, pressing her forehead lightly against the other girl's. She pouts childishly.

"No."

And then... Back to being all smiles as Noel gracefully (or as gracefully as she can be in her drunken stupor) takes one of Ada's hands into hers. She's practically sparkling~

"Because... You weren't in my dreams~♥"

[purethingsonly]

...awww! How utterly sweet of her! Ada couldn't help but giggle at Noel's adorable pout.

"Then what did you dream of~?" She can't help but ask curiously, lifting her other hand to squeeze Noel's.

[unsureazure]

"Mmmm..." Noel frowns, trying very hard to remember what she was dreaming about. Never mind that she wasn't even asleep to begin with. Giving up, she shrugs. "Don't remember... But that doesn't matter! You're here now~♥"

However, a new problem rears its ugly head. Noel begins tugging at her collar with her free hand.

"Hey... Don't you think it's a little too warm...?"

[purethingsonly]

That's more then sufficient for an answer. Or at least, Ada isn't quite sober enough to care about that much. "Mmn!" Ada nods tilting her head to look up at Noel.

But now that the other girl mentions it... While Ada hadn't thought about it, Noel had a point. It was a bit warm, wasn't it? Warmer then she remembered it being a little bit ago. "You're right..." Ada tugs at the bow around her neck a bit. Funny how it didn't bother her until mentioned. Still, it was true.

How odd.

[unsureazure]

"Muuuh... If only Major Kisaragi was here, I could use his sword to make some ice... Oh well!"

And off goes her clip-on tie! If anyone in this room were sober then her secret of not knowing how to tie a necktie would be out. Next, her uniform's detached sleeves flew into the air like over-sized confetti. Thankfully, she didn't go beyond that.

"There! Much better!" Noel proclaimed proudly, giggling and flailing her arms like a hyperactive child. She's sooooooo smart!

[purethingsonly]

"Major Kisaragi? Who's that?" Though Ada giggles, having mentally tried to picture how a sword would produce ice, and with that... how difficult it would be for one to really cool down with it. That would have been rather amusing.

Ada untied the bow around her own neck, watching Noel go, giggling the whole time. Hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to locate everything later once things settled down, because Ada certainly wasn't thinking about it now.

She really wasn't thinking about much of anything in reality.
