With the way Trishna was mulling over it, Aileen expected far worse than what came out of his mouth.

Aileen had been accused of stealing several things over the years. Men's souls (or a certain Whitman's). Ministry jobs. Ancient Egyptian artifacts. Etc. She wouldn't call it stealing, of course.

But Aileen would admit to more harmless transgressions, if asked. Just before her first year at Hogwarts, she'd hid all of Simon's books in the garden, knowing full well that garden gnomes would destroy them. A stolen lip gloss in her third year. A stolen date in her seventh.

Speaking of!

"Not even a kiss? Tapendra," she rolled her eyes in disbelief and took a drink.

Aileen raised her eyebrows at Myrni, curious to hear what her 'I never' would be.

Myrni could not help but watch, a little wide eyed, as her two fellow professors seemed to jump at the chance to play the game so ruthlessly. It gave her an indication of how it would go for the long haul. She had dutifully sipped after Aileen's question because there had been little doubt if she should. But Tapendra's question was one she had to carefully consider, especially in her state.

She wasn't sure how literal they were to be with the questions and if everything counted, even acts they had done when they were children, which is the last time Myrni could think that she had stolen something. And did it really count if she had not meant to or it was not done with malicious intent?

The drinks seemed to be weaving their way into her senses and Myrni's mind lingered on the train of thought involving another kind of stealing. She nonchalantly shrugged and took a sip of her drink. Then she explained, “I guess if you consider stealing someone's heart, then I'm guilty as charged.”

She flashed both Tappy and Aileen an impish grin. She was still giddy with her own playfulness as her gaze lingered on Aileen to see if she was guilty as well.

Then it was her turn to take a stab. Her inhibitions slightly hindered, Myrni forged on with a point that she knew would make both her companions drink and there was no way they could contest, even if it could be considered a low blow.

She boldly declared, “Though I have been engaged, I have never been married.”

Tapendra smirked at Aileen. "I've had them stolen from me, but that doesn't count for that question, now does it?" Mind you, Tapendra's idea of a 'stolen' kiss was probably not the same as everyone else's.

He laughed at Myrni's response, though, raising his glass to drink automatically before remembering himself and putting it down. Myrni's question made him glance down the row at Aileen for a moment before he chuckled. "Emphasis on the been married, Myrni?" He asked, simply, and then drank.

Right, awkward question to follow and awkward question, a sort of unofficial rule to this game. He looked down at his drink, lips pressed together for a moment, and smiled again.

"Well then, while we're on awkward topics," he said, glass halfway to his lips and the work awkward said with, dare he suggest it, a sense of flair. "I've never lost my virginity," he paused, letting his lips curl into a devilish smirk, "in a bedroom."

There. That was awkward they could all share, and he was getting tipsy enough to find it nervously funny rather than just embarrassing.

Though Aileen was glad that Myrni's mood seemed to be improving, she was not at all prepared for the woman veering into subjects that Shall Not Be Mentioned. Who would have thought? The former Gryffindor played a tough game.

Aileen grudgingly drank to Myrni's question, her expression annoyed. She glanced at Tapendra, expecting him to throw out a line like 'I've never lied', which she'd have to call him out on. She still didn't believe he'd never had one thieving moment.

Aileen blinked at him when Tapendra revealed something very awkward indeed. Glancing at Myrni, she tried not to laugh, already affected somewhat by the alcohol.

And only about to become more tipsy.

"Broom closet, then? How romantic," she smirked at the Astronomy professor, than shook her head. "I don't want to know," she said quickly, just in case he was about to divulge details.

Shooting them both a look that said they'd better not comment on this, Aileen took another drink. Losing her virginity on her wedding night might be clichéd, but it was true.

There were several rather mean things she could say now that Myrni had brought up marriage. But she just didn't want to go there. Not yet. Instead, she smiled at them both a little slyly. "Along those same awkward lines... I've never had the Lumos or Nox argument."

Lights on or lights off. The age old debate!

Myrni felt her gaze roam back and forth between Tappy and Aileen at such a rapid pace that she was sure she might get an ache in her neck. She wondered if she was going to be able to keep up with their antics, even if they did place her in a better mood to forget her personal romantic woes.

She blushed a bit when Tappy commented on her choice of words and for a brief second, she felt guilty for exploiting his situation, even if it meant that Aileen was forced to drink. She almost felt compelled to drink herself and in fact had to keep herself from sipping out of nervousness.

But Tappy's next statement gave her reason to sip anyway.  Clearly her intimate relations with others weren't as adventurous or exciting as those of her colleagues. Or, at least, not in the same way.

Myrni grinned though at Aileen's next statement and she actually set her glass down, indicating that she was not going to drink. Myrni had never had that problem either. She rose her brows at Tappy because if he also did not have that problem then it would be Aileen drinking and not them.

Another idea for an easy point came to Myrni then and it was one that would hopefully steer the conversation away from love life pursuits and back to something more innocent. She brightly smiled and tossed out, “I've never had a sibling.” Truth be told, Myrni would have loved to have brothers and sisters growing up because being an only child had been so very lonesome to her. So while it got her a point, she didn't necessarily revel in how true it was.

"You don't? But it involved your bed sheets," Tapendra said teasingly - though the shite-eating grin he shot her meant he was joking.

Mostly.

He sat back, considering her question for some time before he shrugged and drank, apparently coming to the decision that if he couldn't remember the answer, it counted. Did candlelight count? It had been plenty dim enough that he'd fallen off the bed. That counted. He had drank again moments after when Myrni raised her question, shaking his head.

"Come on," he said, in a lightly teasing tone. "It's supposed to be stuff we don't know, you know." Though, he'd admit  Myrni might not know about Aileen's siblings. Though Simon had been closer to her year. And, at least from what he remembered of Aileen's dealing with him, annoying enough to be memorable.

"Hmm." He smiled, less jokingly, and considered his own question for a few moments. "I've never been rushed to a hospital," he said, swirling his half-empty glass.

It took Aileen a moment longer than it should have to fully process Tappy's joke about bedsheets. When she did, she pursed her mouth and glared at him, though part of her felt like laughing again. She did not want to know! Whatever Judy and Tappy had done in the Slytherin girls' dormitories, it was time for a subject change away from awkward topics.

Luckily, Myrni seemed to be thinking the same thing, though Aileen shook her head at the remark about siblings. That was an easy one!

"I have three siblings, but I only talk to one of them now. So I'm only taking one drink," Aileen rambled a bit, feeling the effects as she raised the glass to her lips.

Tapendra had never been rushed to a hospital. Not even after his attempts with Judy? Aileen rested her chin one hand to hide a smirk, looking inappropriately amused. At least she'd never been rushed to a hospital either, so this was one instance where she got a break from drinking. She glanced at Myrni curiously.

"I've never seriously injured someone," she told them, then paused. Well, not directly or on purpose. Aileen conveniently shoved the ancient Egyptian curses out of her head.

"Don't look so surprised," she murmured with a mock-offended air.
