Who: you. Right there.
When: Day 24, Noon-ish
Where: the happy funtimes express

[Right, so. Yesterday was a Lot for several of us! There was a trial, some of us have more tokens to use, we’re all hurtling towards a possibly inescapable doom, it’s great.

But instead of focusing on that! Today in the lounge, one can Lucien and Naeva with a basket full of paper flower charms, made so you can hang them on your wrist or in your hair. The flowers are...well, Naeva’s doing her best to make them, and she bought a great deal of pretty origami paper for this.

Of course, when you take one, there’s affirmations attached to them. And the large princely Licorice may give you one directly. Such are the wonders of life on the Fun Train.

You may also just choose to mingle about the train, whatever, live freely.]

Sure, but that all certainly looked like flirting.

[You put flowers in each other's hair, Crow.]

It's okay for you to be wrong.

You put flowers in each other's hair.

[Crow. Buddy.]

That was the idea with the flowers, wasn't it?

[Holding up her wrist.

With a flower attached.]

[ He shrugs. ]

You picked wrists, I picked hair.

Mhmm. Nothing more intimate about this, I suppose?

[Just casually picking up a flower and walking up into his grill to put it in his hair.

...It's blue and silver and sparkly.]

You even picked my colours. You shouldn't have~

Of course I did. You told me what they were.

[Booping his nose before she steps back.]

You know, I'm only going to make fun of you, but I won't tell anyone else, right?

[She doesn't expect him to back down but like, she figures she should put that out there. So many people know Rean...but she doesn't. She's technically a neutral party.]

Do whatever you want, I'm not stopping you.

[ He's just! Telling you! That it's groundless! ]

Just making myself clear.

[A beat.]

Because if it's obvious to me that you treat him differently, then it's gonna be obvious to other people, too.

Yeah, yeah. Just show me how to make these flowers already.

[ Clearly if he changes the topic, he won't have to acknowledge THAT. ]

Just don't make fun of me for them, I only learned how to do this today.

[But she'll push the stack of paper at him! she picked up a pretty green-and-gold sheet.]

I promise I'll keep all teasing inside my head.

[ That's close enough, right? ]

That's the best I could expect from you.

[Right, time to make flowers. Though, she pauses--]

Get an affirmation from Lucien too. You'll get more sparks for a teammate's bond, right?

I sure do! I'll be sure to hit him up.

You probably shouldn't try to tease him, though, I don't think you'll win.

[She doesn't intend to bait crow, but in the back of her mind

this sounds hilarious?]

[ Crow hums. ]

Now that sounds like you want me to do exactly that.

I don't think the man can be embarrassed. It's not my fault if you don't take my word on it.

Anyone can be embarrassed given the right motivation. I'd bet he's just good at hiding it.

I'm not fool enough to take that bet.

[ Crow just laughs in response to that. ]

Hey, I have an unfair disadvantage, it's not my fault I can't win.

Poor Naeva.

Your sincerity amazes me.

[Sticking her new flower on him.]
