[Well that left doubt out of the equation. He might need to be more drunk for this. Not because he doesn't like Kaidan but because the opposite: he does. And he doesn't like the idea of guilt for taking advantage.]
Ohho... you are an aggressive drunk. [He chuckles. He's teasing.] You're making it hard to play nice, Kai-chan.
What was it you said? "Don't worry, I can handle it"? [He falls quiet, and is quiet for so long Zhao might think the connection's been lost. Then Kaidan speaks again]
"Kai-chan". I don't usually like nicknames, but that one's growing on me.
Oh? [Again, a mercy that even drunk, he did just audio instead of video because blushing is happening] Oh, well... okay. That's... okay, I'll remember that.
Hmm, me neither. I like a challenge. [A shorter silence] I think I should lay down now. Just think about what I said. About... about the things. I said.

[He said it to reassure. Then the silence made him worried he'd said the wrong thing. It knawed at him until... he sighed in relief.]
Ah, I don't have to call you that if you don't want a nickname. I just can't resist a challenge.

Heh. Yeah... you do that. Let me know if you need anything.
