Alcide starts laughing and Zatanna nearly does, too, a snort escaping her as she suppresses it, which she'll complain about later. It takes more effort than she expected to stay calm and collected, look casual, and walk with a dresses full of cream puffs while intoxicated and wearing heels, but Zee manages it all the same. And honestly, dammit, she's really proud of herself for neither laughing, nor tripping, nor panicking and breaking into a run.

Once she's outside, Zatanna doesn't stop walking, but she does slow down for Alcide to catch up.

Hearing him bust up laughing again, this time, Zatanna can't not join him. All the same, she manages to hiss out, "shhh, wait," amidst her giggles. "Why bother cleaning it if I can't ever wear it again?" she points out as she starts to lead the way toward Specials HQ, looking over at him with a smirk she's trying very hard to hide. Spoiler: she's failing miserably at the attempt.

As she's looking back, Zatanna notices the champagne and her face lights up with an almost comical amount of excitement. "You're my hero," she says with a sincerity and seriousness that has no place in this context at all.

A few minutes later and they've made their way to HQ, Zatanna leading their way in and ignoring the robot dog greeting them at the door. "Where should I put these?" she asks, looking around.
