[ It's not like Byleth gets drunk all the time — far from it, actually — but Sylvain is probably used to taking care of him by now. It should come as no surprise that the professor, who indeed looks rather small when he's curled in on himself, has been sleepily waiting on the bar's "sober bench" this whole time. ]
Sylv'n... You came?
[ He looks up when called, a little dazed, and then —
— immediately opens his arms for his big Sylvain. The hat is nice, but he wants a hug! ]
[ hat secured! at least byleth won't catch a head cold now, hopefully. sylvain kneels down to give him a hug--
--that is, a hug that he uses to lift byleth into his arms. byleth is, luckily, slight enough that sylvain can carry him like this. it's clear that he ran out in a bit of a hurry with his plaid pajama pants, worn garreg mach university hoodie, and hastily tied sneakers, but he couldn't leave byleth all alone for too long. he doesn't even have his own coat on, but he made sure byleth has his hat. ]
Sounds like you had a nice night out, huh, Professor? You really went hard, huh!
[ A quick glance into the windows will finally reveal who Byleth was drinking with: Hanneman and Manuela, apparently, as well as some of the other faculty members. It's a bit of a surprise that they left him to sober up on the bench here, but it looks like Hanneman is the designated driver of the night and is currently quite occupied trying to keep Manuela from hitting on anything that moves...
Regardless. Byleth is safe now with one of his students to escort him back to their hotel rooms for the night. He's also kind of cute like this: placid and childish, and also easy to carry. Some people wiggle and make things hard when they're drunk; it's equally hard to carry people when they're blacked out, though, because they get too heavy. Byleth seems to be just the right amount of buzzed — he can make his weight more manageable to Sylvain but also not move around much at all. ]
I won. [ He flashes a little peace sign with his fingers. ] At great cost.
