[ he also smiles a little at the thought of tobari being thrown off that bad. ]

From me? [ ... ] Is that really what he said?

[tindery]

[ tobari, one of the itehari love interests that never gets a blushing sprite,, ]

He brought up your name and said he might need to get lessons from you.

[ looking thoughtful again... ]

... this place is kind of a lost cause, and I'm not someone who can teach someone like Tokinaga how to flirt, so it didn't sound like the worst idea.

[ doesn't mention that he said raf seems like the type to flirt in a cute aggression kind of way ]

[glub]

[ NO BLUSHING SPRITE!?!? THAT'S A CRIME ]

I was just about to say what about you... But, it's like you thought of everything possible before finding me? [ it's a joke. but, it's also true that he was the type who tended to take the initiative too. ]

You sure he could really learn, though? [ not that he doubted tokinaga's learning abilities. he means this in more of a way like can you imagine tokinaga checking himself into the hospital for attention... these techniques aren't for everyone (thankfully) ]

[tindery]

[ everything i learn about lads is killing me ]

I'm not a good role model. [ in terms of intimacy or dating. this is so funny coming from an otome li but it's fine tobari doesn't know his genre ]

But sure. Unless you have any better teacher suggestions? No one here even knew how to go on a date.

[ what the hell? ]

[glub]

[ yeah tobari???? YOU'RE FROM AN OTOME!!!!

you and raf are not so different in origin ]

If you say so, Mister Jailbreak. [ lol. ]

Nah, you might be right. [ about the no one knows how to go on a date. ] The only people I can think of— well, one bites and one lost his hair the other day, so that's probably a no.

[tindery]

[ listen... tobari knows he's hot he also knows he's a specific taste (if you're into scoundrels) ]

The first is salvageable but still probably not right for a beginner like Tokinaga.

The second is a lost cause.

[ IS IT (no he's fucking around) ]

[glub]

[ but he could be tokinaga's flavor... wait,

the flavor of who tokinaga wants to get with** yeah ]

Wow, hair loss is more common than you think. Don't think that full head of hair of yours is forever. [ jk, but yeah

then he knows no one. after this thread i will prob. think of someone be like god why didn't we think of them ]

You say beginner, but he could have been using those lines for years.

[tindery]

[ tokinaga got his date with hien already....

but he just snorts, amused again ]

I'll take my chances.

But oh? Did one of them work on you?

[glub]

Yeah, who isn't moved when someone offers to be your sea turtle?

[tindery]

Yeah? You like animals? And the... [ what's it called again ] Ocean?

[glub]

[ no... not another ocean non-knower. ]

I guess you can say that. Why, do you not? Would you have preferred him just acting cutesy?

[tindery]

I'd rather get to know people as they are. I just think that he needs some help. If he decides that he'll keep trying with this style, then that's fine... just seemed clumsy to me.

[ so he's attempting to wingman because tobari is bad at leaving people alone ]

[glub]

That's ... weirdly reasonable. But, I think the same. I don't mind teaching him a few things, but like you said, it might be more of a lecture on how better to express himself. You know, so he doesn't scare them away by sticking his leggy out too high.

[ winking. ]

[tindery]

The flexibility was unexpectedly impressive though.

[ genuine

anyway he feels weirdly good about leaving tokinaga to raf's capable hands as a love tutor now ]

Thanks for helping.

[glub]

[ okay, that is kind of true... rafayel is agreeing

we did it... now inflict this on tokinaga tomorrow out of nowhere ]

No problem. [ ... ] But, alsooooo I forgot to say.

You're a pretty nice guy yourself.

[tindery]

[ ? ]

I don't think you should start to develop a wrong opinion of me.

Aren't I Mr. Jailbreak?

[ he's not trying as hard to hide that he's a fucking criminal if it comes up in conversation ]

[glub]

Yeah, and didn't I still try to get you out?

[ he gives a shrug. ]

Does that make me your accomplice?

[tindery]

[ lol ]

I'd rather you not get burned from hanging out with a guy like me.

[glub]

You saw my abilities. You think a little fire scares me?

[tindery]

I think you shouldn't be so eager to approach an open flame.

[ a burn is a burn, sweet raf

in a painfully obvious change of subject that he doesn't even try to hide because he's curious, ]

Can you tell me more about the ocean?

[glub]

Same to you.

[ a small quirk of his lips, before he settles on tobari's question. ]

Yeah, what do you want to know about it? It holds a lot of mysteries and tales, though.... so we might not get through them all in one day.

[tindery]

[ what if we were both fiery little bastards?

anyway, he'll be openly curious now ]

Anything. It's fine if it takes time, or there's things you don't feel like sharing. [ maybe the ocean has secrets? or rafayel does? either way ] ... but I haven't gotten the chance to see one.

What do you like most about it?

[glub]

Nah, it's nothing like that. It's just really vast. I've heard some people like to compare the ocean as something calm and placid, while others like to think of it as dangerous and unpredictable. To be honest, I think it's both, but as harsh as it can be...

It's a beautiful place. I think you'd like it. [ ... ] As for my favorite part, maybe just what it ends up representing, you know? It feels like home.

[tindery]

[ hm...

tobari listens thoughtfully, nodding along. it's hard for him to imagine with his limited experience but. ]

Do you want to see one?

[ an ocean ]

[handfast]

[ while tobari and rafayel are having this nice conversation, hak aims his pillow princess grenade launcher at rafayel. i have decided there are two pillows left after they misfired at each other in the hotel.

with a roll of 16, he fires at rafayel.

oh yeah i forgot to include the description: They find sitting in the center is a 40MM Milkor MGL, a light-weight, six-shot grenade launcher. What it shoots for ammunition, however... are mini pillows. Six of them are arranged on the tray. Each one explodes into a cloud of romance. Those caught in the cloud will be more susceptible for a short while to flirting, hugging, kissing, or touching.

now kiss ]
