[she nods! this is not a secret, apparently.]

Mmhm. Ming-xiong! Have you met him?

[headmt]

No, but if he’s a friend of yours, I should only be honored!

[Just nodding through, and after a second.]

If it’s not prying, can I ask - are you asking for the same thing?

[shiftingwinds]

He's nicer than he acts! He doesn't talk much, though...

[and, honestly, in that same vein:]

I'm not sure. He won't tell me what he came here for.

[headmt]

Suppose we’re all entitled to our mysteries.

[Shrugging then, it was a shot in the dark.]

I’m asking because - have you met Beauregard?

[shiftingwinds]

Oh! Yes, I have. She was cute.

[she smiles, and because she can occasionally have half a braincell -]

She's a friend of yours, then?

[headmt]

She is cute! She’s certainly cuter than when I last saw her.

[He seems so so fond when he says this. He’s so proud of her?]

A good friend, yes. Probably a better friend than I deserve.

[shiftingwinds]

I don't know about that. You seem like someone who deserves plenty of wonderful friends, to me.

[headmt]

I do have wonderful friends. Enough that I thought I could come here and take this deal that will obviously have a catch. There was no . . . downside, for me. I could take the risk, because you never know. Perhaps it will be a wonderful experience and everyone will get everything they ever wanted.

But she’s here for me.

[shiftingwinds]

...for you?

[huh. that gives sqx a bad feeling, actually. mollymauk is right here, but - if someone else came here for his sake, does that mean they know something about him that he doesn't...?

that's scary to think about.]

She agreed to this deal for your sake?

[headmt]

. . . Now I’m feeling self-concious.

[haha!]

[shiftingwinds]

No, I just mean...

From what you said, it sounded like things were going really well for you. So, why would you be someone's motivation to be here? I could see it if you were in some kind of trouble...

[headmt]

She said as much, loudly, in the common area the other day. I’m surprised you didn’t hear.

But I suppose it doesn’t matter. I had a bit of a bad turn in a fight. Unlucky day.

[shiftingwinds]

...I might've been a bit drunk the other day.

[or. most of the other days. that's the excuse for me personally missing that because otherwise sqx would not have.]

I'm glad, then - to hear that she's looking out for you. We'll just have to make sure she gets what she wants, right?

[headmt]

Or at least something equally good.

[Drumming his fingers on the table after that little. Jag away from sincerity.]

[shiftingwinds]

[she winks at him]

I'm not sure anything could compare!

[headmt]

[winks right back!! And then. Moves to hop up to sit on that bar.]

And you’ve only known me a day!

[shiftingwinds]

What can I say? I know quality people when I see them.

[headmt]

[Since we’re running fastly from tough conversation . . . ]

You know, I haven’t drunk nearly as much today. If anything, I would say I’ve barely indulged in anything at all. I did leave your excellent company sooner than I intended to the other night.

[shiftingwinds]

[oh! that's direct. shi qingxuan smiles.]

Well, we can't have that, can we? We are meant to be indulging...

[headmt]

It works for you, to get as much of what you want when you want, and it works for me: a beautiful and interesting person to spend some quality time with, as is befitting of my pride.

[He hops off the bar and holds out a hand for her?]

Whatever you like, wherever you prefer.

[shiftingwinds]

[takes his hand! this is fine.]

The first thing that comes to mind is more alcohol, but I think I've been indulging in so much of that it might not count anymore...

[hmmm]

Anything you'd prefer to indulge in?

[headmt]

Well, there’s a thing, apparently, where if you get laid an alarm goes off for your Avatar. And Pride is so looking forward to hearing from me, I think.

[ haha

pride hates him so much ]

[shiftingwinds]

[





sorry she just cracks up laughing]

[headmt]

It turns it into a competition! How dangerous of them!

[yeah no he agrees this is the funniest of all possible outcomes]

[shiftingwinds]

It truly does - I suppose it would be a point of pride if you managed to set it off the most often...

[it would be helping?

she's

hold on. she's just taking her folding fan from her belt and hiding her laughter behind it, and also fanning herself a little. her cheeks are flushed, possibly because she's been laughing so hard.]
