By now, Elliana was definitely feeling the full affects of the alcohol, pestering Spencer as he tried to calm her down.

"Come on, Spencer," she slurred slightly, leaning back so much that she almost fell off of her stall. "At least come dance with me!"

Spencer bristled a little and shook his head. "I'm okay. Dancing isn't my thing."

She huffed slightly and stood up, stumbling a bit before brushing her dress down. "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back in a minute." She said, still slurring as she spoke and Spencer was majorly aware of that.

So, feeling uncomfortable with her going off to the bathroom alone, Spencer stood up too and tucked his little satchel into his side. "I'll walk you to the bathroom, you're... very drunk."

Elliana snorted and nodded before she began to stumble towards the toilets, almost falling over good few times with Spencer behind her, telling her to be careful as she made her way towards the door that was labelled as the bathroom. Once she got to it, she smiled at him and walked into the bathroom, looking into the mirrors that were in there.

She still looked fine but she then wanted to get her hair off of her neck and so she pulled it up and slipped a hairband off of her wrist and began to wrap it around her hair so it was set up in a high ponytail, keeping all of it out from her face before she adjusted her dress so it would cover her a bit more. Once she'd decided that she was uncomfortable the way she was, she kicked her heels off and stepped onto the floor bare-footed despite the fact that it was a dirty public bathroom and pulled the pair of socks on that she'd brought before slipping into a pair of the comfortable trainers she'd also brought before putting them into her bag.

Once she was done, she walked back out to see Spencer who had been writing in a small notebook he'd been carrying in his bag before he looked up at her with a confused look on his face before he realised everything she'd changed.

"You look shorter." He said, simply, looking her up and down before realising she'd changed into a pair of trainers which made him smile and even chuckle a little bit. He then put his notebook away. "They look comfortable."

"Mhm. They are." She slurred, beginning to stumble back to their original seats.

Spencer followed after her and helped her down into the bar stool she'd been sat on before he sat besides her. He then awkwardly motioned the bartender over and asked for a glass of water before handing it to her after, watching her as she drank it, despite it being begrudgingly.

"I don't need to sober up, Reid." She mumbled, gulping down the pint glass of water as fast as she could which made Spencer lean forward and pull it from her mouth, making sure that she didn't accidentally choke on the water.
