[ Venti drops himself onto the branch Lupine has chosen, grinning ]

Impeccable color-coordination and impeccable pecs, both.

Yeah?

[ You know, flying is great, but he really likes Rapunzel. It lets him twist the tree branches, opening up the space between them more, though he does it — gently. So that it's fluid, and the branches don't strain or snap. ]

I think one of those compliments is technically to you, but I'll take it anyway.

[ He watches the branches twist in momentary surprise, then recognition. ]

Hehehe . . . I know what I like!

[ WINKS ]

On both counts!

[ ...Feels good, all of that. Maybe a little too good. Lupine glances away briefly, then points another smile at Venti. This is about you. ]

So, I ditched my flower game status ailment this morning, but I figured not everyone was gonna be so lucky. How're you doing?

Wait, wait. I have to ask first.

Is this a -- what do they call it now? -- a "booty call"?

[ That just makes him think of Hades, and he snorts, shaking his head. ]

People keep asking me that, like I would bother showing up to one of those with pants on.

Ohhhhhhhh, this I'd like to see.

[ ...Smirk. ]

I think I can arrange that. Just so we're clear, though, I do not mean I would've come out to a public park naked.

Awwwww. That's a shame.

[ Very lightly: ]

I mean, who needs naked when you've got skirts and leggings that only go up to the middle of your thighs.

[ . . . :3c ]

Okay.

So -- next time.

[ .............yeah. It feels good. If also, maybe, a little disorienting. Lupine's smile softens. ]

Next time.

To answer your earlier question, though -- I'm still craving changes and new beginnings, so guess I'm not as lucky.

[ Hums, easing back a tiny bit. ]

Well, it's probably a good thing I didn't bring you more eggnog, then.

What kind of change sounds good to you?

Hmmmmm . . .

I was thinking about getting a piercing.

Yeah? Anywhere in particular?

[ Might be deliberately letting his tongue catch the light. Still just that and his ears for cuffs that match Persi's but in silver. ]

[ Very subtle, sir ]

Just an ear, I think . . . Zhongli has one and it looks so nice on him . . .

One ear.

[ Considering. ]

Ordinarily I'd say start with a stud and see how you like it, but. You're not really in a play it safe mindset, and you're sIV, so if you decide you don't like it later, you can just smooth it away.

[ Smallest beat. ]

I'd get it on the other side, if it were me. So that you — go together without matching.

Go together without matching . . .

Hehehe, that describes us perfectly! What a great idea.

[ Almost like he might have a point of reference or something~. ]

You're welcome. Does he just do one earring or does he swap 'em out?

Edited 2022-08-22 00:12 (UTC)

It's pretty much just the one.

So, you could get something similar. A moon earring if he's got a sun, or something.

[ Or Something ]

Maybe. But first, I need to pierce it!

--Wanna do it?

...Do I want to pierce your ear?

[ Is that what he's really being asked from the sIV who teased him for getting it done manually instead of just asking him to open up a hole, ]

[ IT'S ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE ]

Yeah!! C'mon, it'll be fun!
