Nathaniel struggled to compose words, choosing to awkwardly shift in his seat before leaving her alone altogether, finally getting the message that she would rather not associate herself with him.
It had been an hour or so since she had arrived, so she thought it prudent to call it a night and leave for home. She usually got very sleepy after drinking.
She said goodbye to her friend, who danced to the music and sporadically enjoyed a drink and booked a cab for herself. She felt lightheaded as she came home and found herself playing the game in her clearly buzzed state.
She reached the apartment and stumbled into her computer chair.
In her half-drunken haze, she opened up the game and looked through the server. She was having a gala time on the world server when a message popped up.
[RayKon53: Don't worry. You haven't scared me off. I was just surprised by your random arrival.]
Katherine was thankful as she started typing her reply.
