[ SHE'S LIFTING HIM!! ]

[ But then he's got her - ]

Aaah! I almost had you!

[ She's still got him, too, so she's going to Do Her Best to pin him face-down in the sand-! ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[They are probably very sandy now.]

[And she is squirming, but he's got a hold on her and he pushes with his other arm and roll them over and now he's sitting on her.]

May want to let go there, Faito.

[bluediligence]

[ god fucking damnit ]

[ ... reaches up to Tenderly cup his cheek ]

Dusk ... are you a parking ticket? Because you've got fine written all over you.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

[N O P E]

[He is prying her arm off him and getting away several feet.]

No.

[bluediligence]

[ Cheekpuffs! And sits up, huffing. ]

You were supposed to freak out so I could win, damnit.

[schrodingerscockroach]

We joked about me being your father, flirting is not okay!

[Squeaky.]

[bluediligence]

Fake flirting! An underhanded tactic to win a fight!




[ it did feel Gross and Wrong, though, ugh. ]

... Sorry.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Wet willies are underhanded, but acceptable. Not that.

[He sighs.]

Well...that was still wrestling.

[bluediligence]

... Yeah. It was.

[ Rubs the back of her neck. ]

And I think I'm gonna take a break for a while.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...you okay?

...also I guess that was a reprimand, huh.

[bluediligence]

Yeah, I'm fine. [ waves off his concern ]

[ Takes a look around, drumming her fingers on her hip. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

....Faito.

[bluediligence]

Like I said, I'm gonna take a break. Be back in a bit, okay?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Okay.

I'm here if you need me.

[bluediligence]

Yeah. [ Smiles briefly at him. ]

[ But then she goes, wandering off along the beach. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[YOU WORRY HIM FAITO.]

[But will let her...go...]

[bluediligence]

[ NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS AT ALL CONCERNING ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[IT IS VERY CONCERNING.]

[bluediligence]

[ nah!! ]

[ and she's gonna take a nice, long walk, and find somewhere out of view to chill out for a while. she might be back eventually. sometime. maybe. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Faitooooo]
