Neal made it to Shaw's with Malcolm's help. He was surprised and relieved that she asked, though there's a layer of apprehension in it, too. He's waiting to be yelled at once he's flopped onto the bed in his pajamas, Malcolm having left.

He brought George with him, and the cat is making the rounds of the room before returning to the mattress and climbing onto Neal's hip. He stays put, half-under the one blanket he managed to tug over him before he got tired.

"I can do that." His voice definitely still sounds like someone took a knife to his vocal cords.

Eiffel manages to make it without needing Shaw's help, but that's large because he has the wall to help him keep his balance. He is very obviously not sober, which - is going to be a brand new state of affairs for him for both Shaw and Neal.

He flops down next to Neal, making a half-hearted attempt to finish pulling the blanket over Neal for him. "Hey, shhhhh, relax." And then he pats Neal's hair, clumsy but affectionate. "You just gotta relax. Nnnno more talking."

Neal turns his head to look at Eiffel, see-sawing between amusement and concern. "Are you okay?"
littletonoidea: (that made sense right?)

"Totally okay. I'm freakin' tubular." He reaches out his hand to try patting George, and mostly ends up gently bapping the cat's soft side. "Just had a li'l bit to drink, tha's all. You're dead, though, you should be- go have a nap."

Tubular,” Neal mimics under his breath. Louder, he says, “Making what? Is it a surprise?”
littletonoidea: (yeeeeeeeees?)

Eiffel throws a hand into the air with aggressive enthusiasm and yells way too loud. "Do chicken wings!"

Neal cringes visibly at the shout, adding a melodramatic hand to his ear for good measure.

Eiffel, have mercy.”
