I Spy Sea Green Eyes

Chapter 36

"Thish ish unfair!" Tritannus groaned into the sea breeze as we sank into the sand with each step. "You're a soaked quilt!"

"I think the phrase is 'wet blanket'," I muttered as I desperately tried to pull him along. "Can you not be an insufferable meat sack and try to walk properly? Meat sacks are not nice stuff to walk with."

"Which meat ish it?" Tritannus slurred as he tried to upright himself and failed. "I should be a nice meat, like veal, or venison. Venison is nice."

" You're beef," I said, almost falling with Tritannus weighing me down. "'Cause you're like a frigging cow right now!" I shook my head as I muttered to myself, "I should have never let you drink that Everclear. Now you're drunk off your ass, and I gotta pay the price."

Tritannus snorted with indignation. "I am not drunk, Kylie!"

"Khloe. I've often wondered why I have a K instead of a C...."

" Gisellheight- gasendheat-"

"Gesundheit? Hm, that's a funny word."

"Geez, I knew the word, you didn't need to tell me!" Tritannus whined as we stepped onto tiled floor, inside the fortress of the headquarters. "You're not my boss!"

"Finally, you're right for once," I said, shaking my head as we walked through the hallways, a marvelous (note the sarcasm) sight for people to see. Tritannus' arm was slung over my shoulder, and I was holding him up by his waist. One drunk person, and one slightly hyper person with her sense of reason slowly coming back to her- it would have made for a nice comedy show.

" I am always right!" Tritannus shouted for the whole of the headquarters to hear. "I am the Supreme Commander, Lord Katastrofeas Tritannus, ultimate awesome person and and very good-"

" You mind keeping your volume down?" I hissed as a Hyperborean passed me with a puzzled look on his face. "He's very drunk. He's not actually His Supremeness," I told the Hyperborean and then dragged Tritannus away before Tritannus could expose any more.

"Nice going," I said to Tritannus once we were on the stairs to our rooms, where we could be out of earshot of anybody.

"Why thank you, Klee!" Tritannus beamed, a drunk grin on his face. "I've always prided myself in my achievements, but you didn't let me finish the last-"

"I think people would have understood," I said, hastily cutting him off. "You really didn't need to say it."

"But people would need to know!" Tritannus protested as we finally reached the landing. Our rooms (and my freedom) were only two meters away. Just a few more steps...

"Karlie?" Tritannus said, his voice much more subdued. "I don't feel very good."

" Shiz," I muttered, running as I dragged him along. "Gimme your key!" I said, as we reached in front of his door, him leaning against the doorframe.

"Can't find," he muttered as he searched in his pockets. Rolling my eyes in frustration, my eyes landed on something golden hanging out from his pocket, threatening to fall out.

"There!" I exclaimed, quickly snatched it and unlocked the door. Pushing the door open, I grabbed hold of him and pulled him to his bathroom, which thankfully was close to the door.

I nudged the door open, and Tritannus pointed to the very corner of the bathroom, where a toilet was sitting. Suddenly, he made a mad dash to the toilet like he'd forgotten that he was drunk , and I turned away from the scene of carnage that was about to unfold.

The noises that I heard could only be explained as a walrus desperately trying to retch its insides out like it had eaten something that was far from agreeing with his stomach. It continued for a minute, and then it stopped, with a tired groan from Tritannus.
