She frowned, taking in his inebriated state and what he'd just said.
"Sir...I think you should sit down. You're not well."

Christian shut his eyes and continued to stand uneasily on his feet. "What? Oh, you're mistaken, mademoiselle. I'm completely fine...just...dandy. Actually, maybe, I should..."
He sat himself down on the ground.

She glanced aroud the inn, but there was no one around it seemed. With a sigh, she moved over to where he was and tugged at his arm.
"In a chair, sir."

"I'm really fine...where I am," Christian mumbled, but he got to his feet and shuffled along behind Anastasia, nonetheless.

"Well, I'm sure you are, but you don't want someone to step on you while you're down there." She said, trying to keep her voice even.
She pulled out a chair for him.

Christian seated himself and thanked Anastasia profusely prior to bursting into sobs.
"She...left me...for another man!"

She froze, unsure of what to do. She didn't know him and she wasn't sure how to handle someone that was so drunk.
"I...I'm sorry..."

"Me...too," Christian slurred, hot tears spilling over and sliding down his face. His vision became a mess of dark colors, and he took this as his cue to shut his eyes and begin to doze off.

Awkwardly, she patted his shoulder. Was...was he falling asleep?
"S...sir?"

The movement of patting his shoulder caused his head to slide and come to rest upon the girl's own shoulder. He mumbled a bit in the slumber that came heavily at him, in response to Anastasia's question.

She made an "eep" sound when he ended up leaning on her, and quickly moved to hold him before he went tumbling to the floor. Well, this wasn't turning out well. If she went anywhere, he'd probably fall down, but there didn't seem to be anybody in.
"Er...I can't...keep this up..."

A local passerby noticed the situation and offered to help Anastasia carry Christian inside.

"Thank you." She said, whole-heartedly. Between the two of them, Anastasia and the passerby were able to get Christian upstairs and onto a bed in one of the vacant rooms. "Is he all right?" "Oh...er, yes. He just needs to sleep it off." The passerby looked dubious, but as it was none of his business, he let it go and left Anastasia with a quite goodbye. She heaved a sigh, glancing down at Christian. "You have quite a way of making an entrance." She said quietly .
