Emmmmm! ( Here, Jules slouching against the bar, leaning against it and grinning at Em.

... She may have been drinking, but it's mostly evident in how relaxed she is, which goes past her normal easy-going way and into bonelessness, almost. ) It's like déjà vu!

[ Em takes one long look at her. One long, hard, judging look at Jules and presses her lips in a thin line, clearly annoyed, but keeping it under control. ]

Right. Déjà vu.

[ Holding her arms over her stomach protectively while side-eyeing all those dancing people and drinks and smoking and other things other than cigarettes going on. ]

( That sinks in past the usual obliviousness, because it's Em, and Jules sets down her drink. ) What's wrong?

[ I don't want to be here, the music's terrible and loud, too many people are smoking cigarettes, you're drunk... ]

What do you think, Jules? [ Just a tiny bit exasperated. ]

( A little pout. It's just meant to be fun, right? And things keep being amazingly un-fun, lately. Like the universe is doing it on purpose. Ha ha. ) Well... why don't we dance?

( Ever hopeful. )

[ She has to suppress a groan. On one hand, she really just wants to leave, on the other hand, Jules is enjoying this and... well, Jules isn't pregnant and it's not her fault in any way. It's selfish and mean to deny her that. ]

I don't feel like dancing. [ A little sigh. ] But, go ahead, go dance. [ And so very jealous: ] No touching, though, okay?

( Shaking her head, and playing with top of Em's dress a bit. ) Dancing with other people wasn't really what I had in mind. ( She's about to be annoying. ) Please?

[ She is ought to not to concede to Jules' request. Because she feels silly dancing surrounded by people she thinks that they are judging her. And because she's drunk. ]

Jules. [ A sigh. Then she looks at that pout. Ugh. It doesn't help that they had a fight not that long ago and she wants to make it up to her and--

God dammit. ] Just for a bit, okay?

( Yay! That would be an excited little wiggle, and she grabs Em's hands. )( But she will at least stay by the edge, so Em isn't dragged into the maw, settling her hands at Em's waist for a moment as she starts to dance. ) Relax, it'll be fun.

[ She would probably not let Jules do that, anyway, dragging her to the sea of people. She tenses up a little instead of relaxing, though, kind of just... swaying there in Jules' arms. ]

Yeah, fun. [ Stupid music, stupid place, stupid drinks. ]

( Feeling that tensing, she frowns a little, squeezing Em a little. ) Hey. Em, we can have fun. It's allowed!

( Right? Because that almost seems like the problem lately. Like there's always something waiting to mess things up, and part of that is her fault, and that is partly why she's had some drinks. ) Just have fun with me.

[ Dancing in a club full of people smoking and touching and dancing is not exactly her idea of fun. Jules, however, seems right at her natural environment, so what can she do? ]

I'm having fun. [ ... Right. ]

( Jules knows Em well enough that she's arching her eyebrow, and resting her arms on Em's shoulders to link her hands behind her. Maybe if she just... makes it fun, Em will have fun?

Maybe? ) That's promising.

[ And just how are you going to make this fun, Jules? Are you putting on a red ribbon again? Don't do that. JEALOUSY WILL STRIKE.

She sighs through her nose and frowns, pressing her cheek on Jules' shoulder. She's going to go deaf and the music is gonna give her a headache. ]

( The ribbon kind of got ruined. She isn't sure she'll try that again for a while. Not unless doors are locked and Ellie is outside.

Jules is good at this dancing thing, and she's having fun just moving to the music, relaxed and cruisey. The alcohol makes it a bit easier for Em's poor mood not to bring her down too far. Still, she tilts her head a bit, eyebrows raised as she looks at Em's cheek pressed against her shoulder.

Hopeful? She's hopeful. Maybe not especially convinced, though. )
