[Technically, he's already been on the other side of this. But he hadn't really thought about it when Koltira had said that magic was responsible for the request he'd made to touch his hand for a moment, and now the berries have gotten to Kagari himself, and his first thought isn't 'magic' so much as wondering if mmmmmaybe those drinks were stronger than he'd thought, or he had more than he realized. There's definitely that familiar hazy sort of warmth in his chest that accompanies getting buzzed, and he can rationalize his happiness pretty easily, under the circumstances. El Nysa has been a whole new world of opportunities, quite literally, and he's bound to feel a sort of 'high' off of his newfound freedom.
On the other hand, wanting to hug someone who was effectively a complete stranger is not one that's familiar at all, though he's not 100% sure that that's not because he's literally never had the opportunity to be drunk in front of strangers before. At any rate, he's not gonna do it. That'd just be weird, even if he's more drunk than he thought. He's gonna go eat more of those delicious cookies, and maybe arm-wrestle some Olympia nerd--
(because even if he doesn't give a rat's ass about either country or their political problems, how can he turn down some good-ol'-fashioned competition?)
--or, apparently, he's not going anywhere and he's sidling up to wherever Shinjiro's probably wallflowering with a big grin and a wave.]
Yoooo, Gaki-san! You're here too, huh.
[Should he have asked before just calling him by a random nickname invented on the fly? probably. but #yolo???? or, well. twice, technically. but who's counting.]
Cheer up, there's no meteors this time!
[tho shinji might wish there were by the end of this interaction, i'm so sorry shinji]
awkward bro hugs are go. also gonna assume they exchanged names in the last thread, if that's ok!
