Bill goes down with them, and he's laughing so hard all he can do is nod to Kate's question.

"Y-- yea-- yup."

Turning his head, he cracks up into Kate's shoulder.

"How 'bout you?"

Beckett tries (in vain) to keep Kate up, and as she bows forward, her amusement slips out in a (slightly drunken) giggle.

"I don't even know what happened," she manages, and the world still feels like it's spinning even as she sinks to her knees beside them.

"M'fine. But I think -- "

She swallows a laugh and struggles to sit up, one hand closing around Beckett's wrist while she uses Bill's torso for leverage.

Gravity wins this particular war; she finds herself with her head pillowed on Bill's chest and her fingers laced with Beckett's.

"I think you guys've been drinking."

"Hey now, as cops, detective Beckett an' I, are much more qualified t'make that uh-- that assessment."

He gives Beckett a wink, and reaches out to nudge her side for backing up on the statement.

Grin widening, he wraps an around around Kate and bends so that his lips are against her ear.

"An' as sheriff, I get t'say that y'all are drunk as skunks."
