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.]

[headmt]

[That’s really cute. He’ll let her stop to fan herself, letting go of her hand for the moment and turning to face her while she recovers. It’s a good feeling, to make someone laugh like that? After a moment, he’ll gently reach up and turn the fan out of the way, sliding a the hand over her cheek to hold her still when he leans in to try and steal a kiss.

Feel free to whack him with it.]

[shiftingwinds]

[this is, perhaps, more of a surprise than it should be. shi qingxuan's eyes widen slightly when he turns the fan out of the way and leans in, but she doesn't react right away.

it takes her a moment to process what's happening (and he'll feel it as her cheek warms under his palm) - but she doesn't smack him with the fan. after all, they're both supposed to be indulging, aren't they?

so, she kisses him back.]

[headmt]

[ehehehe

Quickly moving to kiss her on the forehead too, because she’s cute, then letting her go. Reaching to take her by the hand.]

Let’s go ring that bell, yeah?
