[ oh. oh no no no. ]

You can't coyly hint like that and then not gossip with me, Shi. C'mon. Let's have a look around at some of these shops as well, so you've got something to hide in if you're getting too flustered.

[shiftingwinds]

That wasn't what I meant to...

[aaaaaa, she just meant maybe they should be more willing to indulge in things they've been avoiding...?! but she'll nod. they can look around.

she points at him with her fan, though.]

...I-I won't be the only one talking about this. You go first!

[this is a paltry attempt at turning it around on him]

[aubins]

[ you're trapped now sqx. ]

Okay sure. What do you want to know about? I might need specifics.

[shiftingwinds]

I didn't think you'd actually agree.

[aubins]

The contract has been sealed, Shi.

[shiftingwinds]

[just. rapidly fanning herself. help.]

[aubins]

[ there is no help to be found here. he's just smiling at her. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha, I might've... gotten a little carried away... when we were playing that game the week I lost my alcohol tolerance...

[

she's just going to perish right here congrats on your monday corpse, yuri, you're talking to a ghost tomorrow]

[aubins]

And you still didn't learn from your party girl ways even then. Who was the lucky someone?

[ better get the most out of her now if she's just going mcfucking expire on the spot anyway ]

[shiftingwinds]

...ahahaha that's their secret to tell not mine!

[she's dying]

[aubins]

Where's the fun in that. [ siiiiigh. ]

Did you enjoy yourself, though? That's always the most important thing. Indulge, but have fun.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

...it was nice.

[aubins]

[ he smiles ]

Good. That's the main thing.

[shiftingwinds]

[just fans herself]

A-anyway... have you also been having... [a nice time? oh god she can't say that. help.] ...well! You've been enjoying yourself too, right?

[aubins]

[ shi you're adorable. ]

I have been, yeah. It's... something I feel like I should be doing, for similar reasons but it's nice to choose either way. Whether I want to or I don't.

[shiftingwinds]

[...she points her fan at him]

You should only do it if you want to!

[aubins]

It's a legitimate way of indulging. It's not that I haven't wanted to.

[shiftingwinds]

...well, as long as you're not doing something you don't want to do.

[or


someone.]

[aubins]

I'm enjoying the fact we all have that choice, don't worry about it. I'm not going to do anything I don't want to.

...

Or anyone.

[shiftingwinds]

G—

[well she's about to say "good" but then he says "or anyone" and she just goes crimson. she's a disaster.]

[aubins]

[ he just


bursts out laughing ]

[shiftingwinds]

[SHE POUTS and folds up her fan to smack his arm lightly with it]

Stop, it's not that funny...!

[aubins]

[ he waves a hand at her. he's still giggling. ]

It kind of is though.

[shiftingwinds]

[she huffs]

It really, really isn't!

[aubins]

You get so flustered about it, it's cute.
