Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

I'm not very in touch with mine. But such things are vestigial, yes?

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

Correct, much like our cycles and such.

[He reaches for the alcohol- some cheap beers, and two bottles of really shit vodka.

A very cold hand also insinuates itself up the back of Dan Heng's clothes.]

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

[tiny grimace. is it the mention of cycles or the very cold hand? unclear. but he reaches for a beer.]

The fertility of the Vidyadhara wasn't lost naturally, but rather an exchange, so it makes sense for there to be holdovers, especially in those who have changed the least from that time.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

[He reaches for a beer, too, grimacing at the carbonation, but drinking it all the same.]

I. [He starts, quiet, curling that cold hand around Dan Heng's hip.] I could have restored it. That fertility. That night.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

[ah

fuck]

It's... better not to think about what could have been.

[leaning into him just a little more]

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

[Luckily Dan Feng is an easy guy (specifically for Dan Heng and one (1) other person), so he's easily distracted as he snuggles further into his warmth.]

That game was really awful. Awful.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

[the change of subject and cuddling are both welcome but he is Confused.]

...Because of the tea?

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

No, I have long expected Yuan'er to be a horrible person.

[Injured sniff :((]

There were- compulsions. Involved. I did not like that.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

[patpats him.]

That... makes sense, yes.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

Was it not like that for your team?

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

No, it was. But I think we just sort of... leaned into it?

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

I do not like sharing my thoughts with people who aren't Jing Yuan. Or you.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

I'm much the same. But... I wanted to be helpful. So I drank. A lot.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

[Leaaaans in






To press his cold nose to the underside of Dan Heng's jaw!!!]

You smell like it, too. Hmph.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

[squeaks but bares his throat. trusting?!]

You too.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

I haven't been drunk in seven hundred years, I deserve. I deserve this.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

I didn't say it was bad. You started it.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

[That gets him a petulant scrape of teeth along his throat.]

Anyway. Do you drink often? We should play a drinking game.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

I don't.

[a little thrum of a growl, bordering a purr, with those teeth.]

I don't like... vulnerability.

What kind of game?

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

[Dan Feng rumbles a purr of his own, before digging for the hard liquor.]

Baiheng taught it to us, she said, it builds. Closeness...? It's named Never Have I Ever. Juvenile, I know.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

...Seems self explanatory.

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

Yes. So if I say, never have I ever crashed a vehicle, and you have, you take a drink.

[He pops the bottle open with a claw. It smelly vaguely of paint thinner. He drinks from it anyway.]

I did crash several starskiffs...

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

I assume you aren't supposed to say things you've done.

[dry. but reaching for the bottle himself.]

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[eggshell]

Really? Jingliu would start saying things I knew she did three cups in...

[Surrenders the bottle!!]

Re: DAY 12 9PM

[lifeban]

Maybe she just wanted to drink.

[takes a swig. wrinkles his nose.]

Never have I ever... been High Elder.
