I don't know about hungover, I should think Casey would be violently sick after drinking that much of a liqueur, but that might only because I have low tolerance for sweet 'n' sticky drinks myself.

I was just imagining a pounding headache, but the violently sick thing is a good point. Will have to mention it.

Nice to see him getting so thoroughly and so convincingly rat-arsed, anyway.

I think drunk-Casey, like drunk-Danny, would be fairly adorable. Overdramatic, and weirdly pedantic about logic, but adorable.

Curious what book Dan bought him.

I'm thinking a novel, about an archeologist figuring out an old murder mystery. I *know* such a novel exists, because my Dad was trying to convince me to read it years ago. It's the type of kinda-nerdy book that I could really imagine Casey getting into.

And the cake was a nice touch of continuity, too.

Thank you. Has to be chocolate. *g*

It'll be interesting to see where it goes after this, since you haven't taken the usual easy but improbable get-out of going for a Mutual Declaration of Undying Love while under the influence ...

No. I have *plans* for them. *rubs hands and laughs evilly*

Just how secretly gay is Casey really ...

Well, I'm working on the basis of naive-inexperienced-Casey. You know, the type of Casey who's slept with five women in his entire life, and only kissed a handful more. I think he could be convincingly bi, but in general Casey fashion, it's not related to the amount of experience he has, it's related to a particular person.

Oh yes, I have *plans*. *g* (Glad you enjoyed it.)
