Sorry, I kind of go into automatic pilot. I'm used to being the designated driver for my liquored up friends.

( Quentin gets sloppy drunk himself all the time too, it's not as if he's a clean and innocent. He likes booze and mild drugs as much as the next Brakebills student. But if someone else is a little off, they are priority to him, and he sobers up. He did have one drink tonight, but he wanted his wits about him. Now he's very glad; both of them drunk would've been shenanigans ... and possibly dangerous ones!)

Ha, yeah. He does. I worry about everything and everyone, it's a real character flaw. Sorry to naysay, I really do want to go with you, promise.

( It's said with some self-deprecating humor, but he's being honest. Quentin's anxiety disorder hasn't gone away and now he only has more people to worry about and more reasons to worry. He's really trying to keep it from being intrusive on others though. That's why he tries to cover up as much skin as he can when being around others, so they don't accidentally absorb his disastrous inner workings.

He laughs though.) Okay Pennifer is pretty hilarious as a name.
