Steph is, in fact, sleeping. She spends a lot of time sleeping, because it's significantly easier than spending time thinking seriously about her life as it stands.

Steph is about to accept the bottle Mel's so patiently offering, but Katara has her hands and Steph blinks at her, surprised and a little unsure. Because there was That Night, and ... are you still allowed to be as comfortable as before with your best friends when there's That Night sitting there?

"...even though I'm pretty much an idiot ... with terrible taste in men-and-don't-you-dare-say-told-you-so-Mel-Fray?"

"Y'know I wouldn't," Mel protests despite all evidence to the contrary.

But she shrugs, pulls the bottle back and takes a healthy swig herself, watching the two girls.

"All my family are idiots. It's why they need me."

"Besides, you have really good taste in sisters and friends," Katara adds, grinning hopefully.

"...y'know, apart from me."
