okay recovers ] Vi was just taking the piss out of me! Stop assuming bizarre things!!
[ AND GIMME THAT DRINK he fumbles stupidly with the bottle and almost fails to catch it with a HUFF. embarrassed and refusing to look at that thought in the eye ever again ]
[ yes of course you are darling vi you have done nothing wrong*
*right now, you are also embarrassing and wily ]
Stop saying bizarre things, then. [ she's not yelling anymore, at least? as she sets down her alcohaul of ( mumbles in what's in there ) for them to rummage through, she balances on one foot, then the other, taking her booties off to set by the entrance. she's now no longer the same height as strohl but is still a horse. ]
[ she is probably half sprawled on strohl actually like, just really pound puppy about it where she's half in his lap but in the sense that she fell here rather than intentionally did this.
yawns. drinks. ]
Good, glad you're on board. [ satisfied emotions. ] Who do you think is cute? Strohl thinks Iris does taxes sexily.
[ she'll drop to sit with them, but not directly on them. her legs are out there, though, so that's probably going to lead to piling soon, what with the drinking and velcro dog behaviour.
takes cap off bottle a little too hard when vi asks that. ]
Ach - [ a ] Well, she did certainly have him by the jabot, earlier, didn't she.
[ immediately chokes on the drink and elbows vi in the gut, but like, really gently. just enough for an oof. ]
That is not what I said, selective hearing is a bloody curse around here-- and that is not an answer! [ gesturing with the bottle at hulkenberg - despite getting a fresh bottle he does not put it down. gotta keep that shit vi is still being babysat a little
anyway. ] Enough harassing Strohl, now! Enough. Answer the question.
also that's probably a good idea because she will just drink until she gets sick if they leave her to her own devices. right now she's just pleasantly tipsy, and the second hulkenberg is close enough she throws her ankle over her legs. c'mere. ]
'Tis a response! [ patting vi's ankle as she settles in, like this is fine.
she is delaying answering, taking a sip from her ale, ears twitching a notch lower in her embarrassment. ] Have you two really been drinking and discussing this..?
Don't be weird! You said girls, plural, so I am thinking of all of the appropriate ones! There are many girls here!
[ a!!! ]
... there is a sharp-edge beauty and elegance to Ladies Manwol, Roxana, and Iris, for example! But I know personally that Lady Manwol is kind, if also a bit... wily, the same way L- [ beat ] Tama is. No doubt she would know if I went back on that, somehow...
I'm also on a first name basis with Tama, because I'm not fancy.
[ you noble types... smh
she stretches lazily, and then: ] I don't know, all of the girls here are hot in their own ways? Roxana's pretty, but she's not the type to get involved with people, Manwol's taken, Tama is... Tama.
[ she's an eyeball. ]
Not really interested in anybody here like that past eye candy.
'Tis different. [ to vi ] But I am, now, because she asked.
[ also don't! be weird!! she said don't be weird, strohl!!! she does not her agreement though with vi. ]
Tama reminds me a bit of a more mischevious version of someone we know in Euchronia, at least in appearance, but both are extraordinarily beautiful women.
[ taking a longer drink, the most sober of you all having to catch up. but then indicates vi with bottle. ]
And there is you, of course, Vi. You are striking. Strong, and beauteous.
Yes, well, you're one of three people on a first name basis with me, and fanciness has nothing to do with it.
[ no its a cute tradition about FRIENDSHIP. and second... ]
Not really interested in anything either. It's not like anything like that's afforded to me, so it's not like it's the kind of thing I even think about, usually. Got shouted at for not saying anything about Junah being beautiful once already.
[ grumble grumble. bu he stops there, letting hulkenberg and vi talk with a slightly curious look.
... though the curiosity turns to a nose wrinkle, which suggests that this is the first time he's even conceptualised vi as a member of the female persuasion. not that he feels any different about this its just like oh yeah. forgot you were a girl. ]
I cannot give Strohl too much grief for this, frankly. [ she'll defend him on the duty thing. even if she's pretty sure he would be able to marry for love if it came down to it. ] 'Twould be unfair to the other person for me to pursue any relationship, whether here or at home, because of my own duty. His Highness would always come first.
Tama did ask what would happen if someone came along who understood, or shared the pledge with me, but... [ is anybody ever going to be as much of a freak about will as her and strohl. unlikely.
anyways she shakes her head at that. clearly she has remembered that vi is a girl? hulkenberg's also a girl. what makes vi any less of a girl. you two are just wired to being bash brothers ass siblings. ]
Right. [ single point in hulkenberg's direction. ]
Same for me. I'm not say I won't, someday, but the likelihood's that it'll be someone I don't initially care for. Might get lucky. Even if I don't, I'll come to care for her and love her in time, either way.
[ it's fine..............this is something he does not like thinking about that much....... it's fine,
anyway teasing hulkenberg: ] Honesty, if you can manage a complete sentence.

it's okay though, she also doesn't think that hard about it, really. she reaches up to pinch strohl's cheeks. ]
It could be, if you'd quit being all like, duty first. Doesn't have to be here, but yeesh, the way you talk about romance even makes me feel bad.
