He cringed visibly. "It all made sense at the time...I could explain, but something tells me that won't make much of a difference." Shards, he felt like such an abysmal fool. He normally wouldn't have bothered to defend himself, and in fact he'd already restrained himself once, but wine and emotion were a deadly mixture for the confused boy.
"Erisi..." he said, slinking backwards and pressing himself against his headboard. "It...won't happen again. I didn't mean any harm," he said. He had the explanation, but not the will to deliver it. It was probably best to just let it go at this point anyhow. He continued to blush, hanging his head awkwardly and trying to blink his vision back into focus. He certainly had a lot to think about. It hadn't been so much different; so was he bothered because Erisi was a boy, or because he wasn't Fiora?
He sighed weakly. His buzz was quickly fading. Serious situations like this weren't called 'sobering' for no reason. Rather than continue to humiliate himself, Talian just gave in, practically cowed in front of Erisi. "...I'm sorry. It won't happen again." A safe answer, he knew it. Everyone loved someone who would cave to their desires.
