[ It's uncomfortable no matter how good she is at that, so he's only getting more aggravated and tense as she goes on. The moment she's done, he pulls his hands away like she's boiling water or something ]

[voreaciously]

Was that so unpleasant?

[time5kip]

Doesn't matter.

[ Definitely just shaking it off like. immediately. And then going to look at his bingo card and frowing ]

I don't have anything else I can conceivably do with you.

[voreaciously]

It matters. My apologies.

What remains for you?

[time5kip]

Like I said. Nothing I can conceivably do with you.

[ Because they're vaguely uncomfortable and he's reached maximum uncomfortableness capacity with Amane. But he is looking at his card again to see if he can at least bend things somewhat ]

I can beg for your love and combine that with a love confession.

[voreaciously]

...As you like.

[well then.]

[time5kip]

[ He proposed it but this is a lot more annoying than he envisioned. Again. There's a sigh, and eventually ]

My undying passion for you cannot be contained any longer. I beg you, please return my feelings of love.

Which are definitely here.

[voreaciously]

[she stands there waiting with perfect patience, and then.]

Alas, Mister five. I cannot. My heart already belongs to another.

[time5kip]

I'll find it in me to accept this one way or another.

[voreaciously]

Good. I would hate for you to on broken-hearted.

[but with respect to the game--]

Was that all you could do with me?

[time5kip]

For the time being. I'm getting a new card as soon as I finish the first one.

[voreaciously]

As you like. Please feel free to find me again if you have need of me.
