[-nah he has three dogs-

He ponders for a moment what a good answer is - honest? is honest too sad? or be vague maybe? how is this flirting?? - before finally shrugging his shoulders, though only lightly since she's got her hand on one.]

Sometimes, maybe.

1/2

[iustaegis]

[ .Maybe. Maybe? He is impossible to flirt with!/i> ]

[iustaegis]

[ But she ain't gonna give up!

Sweetly, ] Oh, no! Someone as handsome as you... shouldn't be lonely! We can spend that time together?

[ She's terrible at attempting to flirt "naturally" too. ]

[carbungle]

Don't we already spend loads of time together?

[He never promised this would be easy. ...Also there's a reason his bros called him clueless. Even when he knows it's coming...!]

[iustaegis]

[ She hesitates, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her expression-- because taking up too much of his time is indeed a real concern of hers-- but this is supposed to be fun, unserious, and flirty, so...

Her hand upon his shoulder moves. Now, it's a playful finger just beneath his chin. ]

All I need is just a moment of your time. Not too much.

[carbungle]

[Oho. He can be oblivious, but he's not entirely dense. As her finger guides him, he leans in a little, helpless under her touch.]

Right now's good for me.

[iustaegis]

[ Her voice lowers to a whisper, her finger remaining poised beneath his chin. ]

Close your eyes.

[carbungle]

[He does. Immediately, he does, head tilted, waiting expectantly.]

[iustaegis]

[ She gives him a quick, quiet peck upon his lips. ]

There.

[carbungle]

[He opens his eyes slowly, brows lifting a little.]

Amazing... for just a second, I felt less lonely.

[iustaegis]

[ She gazes at him affectionately, taking his hands in hers. ]

Does this mean my flirting worked?

[carbungle]

I'm gonna say yes, but you have a pretty solid advantage, you know.

[On account of him being 1000% smitten.]

[iustaegis]

[ Her grin becomes far more confident at that. Victory! ]

Oh, but speaking about the Regalia...

Could I borrow it for something?

[carbungle]

The Regalia? I can ask my dad, but he'll probably say yes. You want to go somewhere?

[iustaegis]

Oh— no, no. I, ah,...

[ It’s! A secret! ]

I only need to take some measurements. That’s all.

[carbungle]

[Hmm, suspicious.]

What, like for the upholstery or something?

[iustaegis]

[ She opens her mouth as if about to tell him, but stops herself. ]

It’s a secret.

[carbungle]

Okay, maybe you should ask my dad then, so you can tell him exactly what secret thing it is that you're trying to do to his car.

[Like... he inherited it, so it's half-his... but also not... it's dad's car...]

[iustaegis]

[ She’s not planning on making any changes that can’t be detached..... ] Mm... okay. I’ll ask him.

[ So long as he can keep it a secret, too! (More like, can Pyra keep this secret, when she seems so excited about it?)

But what if Regis says no? ] .....Ah, and he he doesn’t approve— I suppose I’ll have to find something else to give you for being so wonderful.

[carbungle]

You're, uh. [He hesitates, because it feels like they've gotten themselves more or less back to normal, but he can't help feeling anxious about it anyway.] You're not doing this because of what we talked about earlier, are you?

[She'd worried about not doing enough for him, and now here she is trying to do... something? Which he's not opposed to, but he doesn't want her to think she has to just to earn anything he's giving freely.]

[iustaegis]

[ Ah. ]

Actually... I've had this idea in my head for the Regalia for a while. [ But he may be rest assured (or she believes he should be rest assured) that that won't be all. ] Although, I still intend to make up for... [ A delicate pause. ] before.

[ Which, she believes she should. ]

[carbungle]

[That makes him very curious - and a little suspicious, actually, since they've talked about certain things before - but he opts not to question her again. Let her keep the surprise.

Instead he tugs her in a bit, freeing his hand to wind his arm around her, exhaling a vaguely annoyed noise.]

Gotta figure out a way to make you stop that, then. You don't have to do anything. Weren't we supposed to quit keeping score?

[iustaegis]

[ She allows herself to be drawn in, and she feels her cheeks heat up, except for an entirely different reason: ]

...I wasn't planning on making it up to you sexually?

[ Isn't that the context of the aforementioned "score-keeping" about? Unless she is mistaken! ]

[carbungle]

[He half-chokes at that one. Pyra no!!]

I-I didn't mean like that either...!

[iustaegis]

I--

[ Good thing she clarified! Although she's still blushing. Ahem. ]

Of course. But I want to still make up for upsetting you.
