Cazan was bright red from a combination of choking and embarrassment, though now it was more about how T'ryn had basically come running to her rescue and less about every other mortifying thing that had happened. The clarification oddly didn't help matters much either. It was oddly... sweet? She gratefully took the water and had a long drink while she calmed down, eventually nodding. Her voice still a little hoarse from the coughing as she said, "Yeah... yeah I know."
It was a lecture she'd heard a few times, though none of them had ever really had an impact on her before now. With as embarrassed as she was about the prior incidents, (don't think about the slap), and how concerned he seemed, she gave a grumbling sigh. "I have been staying up a bit later than I should trying to get everything done. I'll try go get some of that socializing in later. Promise. In the meantime I'll at least work on getting some sleep. Sound good?"
She didn't bother mentioning that she was guaranteed to get some socializing in at the party, but to help put a bit more artificial distance between her alter ego and herself she added, "Maybe a day or two after your party you can remind me to stop working for a bit. I'll be a bit busy the day of, so you might not even see me when you pick up my sister."
