That river in Egypt

"Uhhhhmm Rennala?"
She turned around to see Damocles leaning against the doorframe.
"Oh? You again, heya"
"Hi, I heard thatuhhhh uhmm like do you need uhh"
"Are you offering to walk me home Damocles?"
"Yess"
"Aw that's sweet. Alright, you can walk me home"
The two went down the steps of the porch and onto the garden path. Damocles walking worse than before, missing the bottom step and nearly stumbling.
"Woah there, you've had a little too much. Come on, give me your arm"
"Huhh"
Rennala grabbed his arm and pulled it over her shoulder, around the back of her neck. They walked beside eachother, and it kept him much more steady.
"Don't you try grabbing anything with that hand hehe"
"HUHH"
His head jolted up, he wasn't doing anything. She was just teasing, but with his arm over her shoulders it was close.
"Relax silly"
They were slow, but they were going.

It felt like a long walk, and he was okay with silence but he tried making conversation.
"Yourrfriend. Thebrown hair..."
"Yes? That's Melina"
"Whaddafuck wasthat car"
"THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING"

She noticed that as time went on, he was slurring more, and he was leaning on her even more for balance.
"Fuck, Damocles. Why'd you have to drink so much?"
"Uhhhhmmm, wanted oranjuice"
"How is it? Are you feeling drunk at all? My back can feel it that's for sure"
"I'vegotta pissbaaad"
"Oh great... I'll take that as a yes"

It took a long while, but they eventually made it to Rennala's house.
"Here we are"
Rennala let go of his arm, making him stand by himself. He swayed in place before putting his hand against the wall for balance. She unlocked the door, opened it, and then stood in the doorway.
"Thank you for the escort Damocles"
"Youu'rewelcome. I'llbe goingthen I supppose"
