[ Aoba's mind gently buzzes with static at the memory, uncomfortably warm. ]
Uh... maybe. I won't be able to drink while I'm there because I need to keep a clear head, and if anyone notices it might be suspicious. And that was... that was so embarrassing, last time...
[ He vaguely remembers being steadied in Shiro's arms, then waking up later in his own bed, which means he was carried... and was probably seen being carried. By another guy. So embarrassing. Whatever Shiro says, the sense of shame he feels over that is real, and he truly does mean to make it up to him somehow.
The change of subject is welcomed, though. The static lessens, the awkward warmth and volume turning back down, his concerns shoved aside to worry about later. ]
The Darkling? Um... yeah I think so. A video game champion, or an up and coming one for... Bout it Out? I don't really care for games like that...
[ He hasn't been paying much attention to the tabloids, especially any involving Bout it Out. It's a game too much like Rhyme, and he hated that game back home. It was so annoying and whether you played it or not, there was no avoiding it. At least here virtual games seem to have better boundaries, and he can ignore them if he wants to. ]
I hope the press doesn't follow the both of us around much.
