[ hm

he nods slowly ]

So much for my efforts to divert toward something more innocuous.

[evocationary]

[okay, she laughs at that.]

I mean, yeah, furbies usually are, you just hit the shit jackpot. It's fine.

[shaft]

In my head I imagined you being gently attacked by small, furry creatures.

[evocationary]

And - that's innocuous to you?

[shaft]

Like... kittens?

[evocationary]

God, I wish. [she hands him the champagne bottle.] Anyway. You enjoy this while you can.

[shaft]

[ He accepts it, pouring more into his flute because he's a fancy boy. ]

You don't plan to drink once the danger starts?

[evocationary]

For sure, but then it won't be enjoying it! It'll be a coping mechanism. [she says this so cheerfully]

[shaft]

[ askldfjasd HELP THAT makes him snort so suddenly he gets champagne up his nose and starts coughing. [

[evocationary]

Stop that, don't die! [she says, laughing as she leans over to like, pat his back.] It's too early!

[shaft]

You almost got me with that honesty of yours.

[ he coughs ]

How diabolical.

[evocationary]

[more patting!]

Yeah, it'll get you when you're not expecting it. You gonna live?

[shaft]

I think I'll manage.

[ grabs a tissue to delicately dab his mouth ]

I hope you didn't worry too much.

[evocationary]

Oh, I was beside myself. [she nudges him. teasing:] But I'll manage.

[shaft]

Yeah? Want me to hold your hand? Assuage your concerns?

[evocationary]

[she ain't no scrub she'll win this game of chicken. she holds out her hand for him to take? tadaaa.]

[shaft]

[ Oh yeah, Lup is tactile.

Well, they're holding hands now. ]

[evocationary]

[she sure is! she also has no shame, so she'll sit here forever holding his hand, which is very funny.]

I feel very assuaged.

[shaft]

[ He's drinking. ]

I bet you tell all the guys that.

[evocationary]

Eh. Maybe half. Half of that I actually mean.

[shaft]

Can I ask what factors into your sincerity?

[evocationary]

It varies. Mostly it's how much I actually like them. Usually you have to play with me in the space a bit to get in my good graces. Banter. You know.

[shaft]

[ He nods. ]

That all seems sensible. I do enjoy a bit of banter.

Basically anyone who isn't too uptight.

[evocationary]

That sums it up!
