[Tries to talk again - frowns]

[Taps at his throat]

[softlyfalling]

[ uh????? ]

That, er—

[ putting her hands on his shoulders as she leans down to look at him. ]

Does anything else feel off?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Visibly relaxes a couple of degrees as soon as her hands are on his shoulders]

I dunno, I -

Oh. Hey.

[softlyfalling]

Oh, is it... something about having to touch people, then...

[ relieved! ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. Seemed like - like I wanted to.

[softlyfalling]

Ah, I guess that's one to watch out for, but—this works, right?

[ she leans down and gives him a peck on the forehead. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... that works just fine.

[softlyfalling]

Well, in that case, choose another one each?

[crossmyheartandhope]

You got it, dude.

[Snags a red one]

You want the same, or...?

[softlyfalling]

Ah—sure, that's fine.

[ she takes one, herself, pops the cork out, and drinks it. ]

You're a very thoughtful young man.

[ ??? it's not wrong but it's a little to the left of what she meant to say. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Drinks it down, himself]

You're pretty badass. Not just, like... in an ass-kicking kind of way. But like, you're pretty cool all around.

[softlyfalling]

Oh! Well, ah... I'm glad, too, that Nemesis has a good friend in you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... I try, anyways.

Pretty glad she's got you on her team, though.

[softlyfalling]

You're very kind to say so.

[ she offers her hand, this time. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Gives it a kiss, careful]

[softlyfalling]

[ lovely. ]

I think that was well-done—next one, do you suppose?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... you wanna try purple?

[softlyfalling]

Oh, I think that was my first one, but maybe this time you can do that one and I'll do... I don't know, orange?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Works for me, dude.

[Downs the purple one, and the words show up above his head: RELAXED and AMUSED]

[softlyfalling]

[ she takes one of the orange ones and drinks it, and pauses to see if it does anything. ]

Well, it seems like this game's doing pretty well for you so far.

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'way better than the other kind, anyways.

[The words start to flicker and change - and maybe he realizes they're going to, because he leans in, quick, to kiss her]

[softlyfalling]

That's certainly true.

...I still can't work out what the orange one does, but ah, well.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Long's it ain't nothing too bad, it's probly fine.

[softlyfalling]

Well, this is mostly quick enough there's little to worry about, anyway.

Next one, then? I suppose, er—blue?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Blue works for me.

[Helps himself to a blue one and swallows it down]

Pretty sure we better do this one quick, though, or else I just ain't gonna shut up. I mean, sometimes I don't shut up just regular? But if I ever start rambling or whatever and I'm being real annoying you can just say and I'll quit, I swear. But, like we better do the kiss thing or else -

[Or else he's just going to keep going,]
