This was bad, worse than bad, his head was reeling, even his body ached. It was dull, but didn't look as if it wanted to subside any time soon. The alcohol made it better, somehow, but he knew he'd need plenty more of it before the night was done if he wanted to get through this. The guilt alone was killing him. The tawny knight found it hard to look at her, even breathing was difficult, every inhale threatened to cloud his mind, to make all coherent thought impossible, but it was overshadowed by the reality of what he'd done...what they'd almost done. Love, Mateship, Puppies, that was how it should be, in that precise order. Or so was his belief, he wasn't one for casual sex, never would be. Sex was something you had with someone you cared for, and Sidra...Sure, she was alluring, a dark golden-touched temptress like herself, but his advances were wasted on her. He was kind-hearted, boyish in his charms, with a set of strong morals to keep him centered, and little experience with the opposite sex. She...was entirely on the other side of the spectrum-- a wildly passionate woman, tempestous in her moods, and wise to the ways of the world.

Alister was chivalrous to continuously deny her any blame, shaking his head with his lips set in a frown. She dismissed it, leaving the circumstances of the situation to the chemical responces of her body. The wolfdog's eyes were dark, he'd been more than willing to shoulder this burden, and it annoyed him that she refused him even in this. "Sure, why don't we blame the weather while we're at it?" Sarcasm. Up it rose to his defense, as sure as the wooden shield resting against the couch. Fortunately, he missed the wide-eyed glance she cast in his direction. He'd been vague, but she was quick to catch his meaning. If he'd not been in such a state of panic, he would have never admitted to it. It's not like the women had been all that receptive to the young Callow in his former clan, as to give him any experience.

He was so preoccupied with his guilt, he didn't bother to think how he'd only just been making this predicament worse. God-- if he could only breathe! Her intoxicating scent clung heavily on the air, refusing to relent. With determination in the set of his brow he crossed again to the filth covered window, tempted to pry it open and let the fresh air flood in, but stopped short and sighed. No, he couldn't do that, even. Every male within a mile's radius would flock to answer the call. Frustrated, his fist slammed into the windowsill and he leaned back, clutching it. She was speaking behind him on the couch, and only an ear twitched towards her to acknowledge he'd even heard. "You're sorry, huh? Well now, that makes it all so much better, doesn't it?" The wine went down his throat smoothly, but it wasn't enough. It wasn't nearly enough to wash this feeling away. He needed something more potent. Without thinking he took the flask instead. "Do you mind?" He didn't even wait for an answer he just took off the cap and swallowed a large gulp.

The vodka burned down his throat, and his head swam. He cleared his throat and set the flask down, without even looking at it, fumbling with his actions until it actually rested on the table. He chuckled bitterly. Yes he was quite the gentleman, wasn't he, and where had that gotten him, exactly? Oh, right-- nowhere. "It was...foolissh." He slurred, agreeing. His body felt light as he picked up the belt from the floor, buckling it about his waist with clumsy fingers. "You can rest asssshured...you're in good handss." He patted the sword at his left, not that'd he'd be able to wield it with much grace anymore as the vodka began to burn through his body. Seeing her smile he grinned crookedly in return, reaching for the flask again. "Oh, I'm already there." He said agreeably as he downed another swig. Talking hadn't gotten them very far before, but drinking, sure-- he could handle that.
