After taking a moment to dry his eyes for hopefully the last time tonight, Arven pushes himself into a crouching position and holds on a hand for Eli to take.]
I can walk! I can... just help me keep upright, just like that... don' even think of carrying me!
[ His pride really isn't going to allow it, nope. He can leave on Arven, though, and being able to do that at least offers him some semblance of balance. ]
[ Eli trails off for a minute, thinking it over as they inevitably attempt the stairs. There's some staggering, that's for sure, but Eli can manage with both of their help. ]
I. Yeah? It'd be nice to camp without... worrying 'bout demons showing up... I think... have I camped before...? Before... mm... I don' know...
[Thank god Eli didn't take a tumble down the stairs. He might've brought Arven with him.]
Wait, what do you mean you don't know? [The demons part would be more alarming if he didn't already know about those.] I thought you said you liked sleeping outside.

I'll help you down.

...thanks.
[ He'll cringe about being so pathetic once he's sober, so, for now, he'll reach out to grip Arven's offered hand for the extra help up to his feet. ]

Once he gets Eli to his feet, he wraps his arm around Eli's waist for support.]
How's this? Think you can walk with me holding you? Or do you need to be...carried.
[He can do it, it's just...he's got a feeling Eli's pride would argue with the idea.]

C'mon, have a little faith in your buddy Arven. I asked for a reason!
[He keeps a firm grip on Eli as he steers them toward the way down.]
Let's go, Mabosstiff.
[Woof. Mabosstiff positions himself on the other side of Eli for additional support in case things go pear-shaped.]
Say, Eli, something you said got me thinking... We should go camping sometime. I've always preferred the outdoors, too.

[ Arven clearly does not know. ]
For fun... I mean, yeah, I like. I sleep outside when I can. But it isn't part of some... activity or... it's just life?
