Ron pursed his lips even more. He wasn't that far gone and definitely still aware of his surroundings. But he did feel a bit loose and woozy--still! It was a celebration!

See? This uncle fetch him right away despite all the rejection the man gave him. Would he get this reaction if he wasn't drunk? Ron doubted it.

"Haa..." Agni shook his head exasperatedly. "Why do you have to be so good with your mouth?"
