Not if you choose to be one of those stubborn people yourself.

Besides, they'll drag you back by the ear no matter what, and then all you'll be able to do is pout cutely!

...Well, you're right that if I did pout, it would be cute.

Of course! I would never accuse you of being uncute, Pavo.

pavo ocellus: I'm not sure I'd call it subtle.
SLACKER: Hehe ♪
SLACKER: Where to, Captain?

pavo ocellus: We could investigate the new spots, if you like?
SLACKER: Catering to my taste for adventure? How thoughtful!

[ Venti is waiting when he arrives, seated on a stump and kicking his feet idly. ]
Well, well. Having an interesting day, I take it?

[plops down on the next stump over, just for now!]
I haven't had many boring days since arriving, to be quite honest. But yes. I'd wondered how long it'd be, but I was still startled.

Will the two of you fall into each other's confidence, or fight terribly? I wonder . . .
I'm making a noble attempt to head off the latter possibility.

[look at this instant flush. heart games did things to him, venti, it's very cruel]
...Yes, that is true. Shall we go exploring now?
...Yes, that is true. Shall we go exploring now?
Ehh? Hedging already? But I haven't even gotten started yet!
You can tease me while we walk, in the privacy of our own company.

[Why does he like Venti so much again???
This is embarrassing... but it's a date, so he'll take Venti's arm.]
Where to first?
