[She angles up, wincing and rubbing the wounded spot on her head.]

Mmhm, I think I just need my bed.

[And like sixteen pillows to cuddle with.]

[hairrowing]

[leaning in closely, at least it doesn't look like she has a knot on her head]

Okay, we'll get outta here.

[gunslingerqueen]

[She is nothing, if not durable.]

Next time, we'll do something that's actually fun.

[She puts way too much money under one of their cups before getting up.]

[hairrowing]

This wasn't not fun.

[he's at least going to say that. defend that

and he

sighs. and puts some of the money back, while replacing it with his own]

[gunslingerqueen]

Fun adjacent isn't good enough!

[It definitely got better with time, but -

Oh, he's lost his mind!!!

Nariko attempts a glare and just puts more of her own down and takes his back!!

Which, hopefully he doesn't notice because now she's run out of physical money to pay for anything else...]

[hairrowing]

[he notices


and he frowns at her]

Why...

[gunslingerqueen]

[Well, alright since they're at this point she freely thrusts it back to him with the most petulant expression ever.]

Save your money for your Pokemon and a proper first date you're excited for!

[hairrowing]

[he sighs at her]

That second part won't happen. But I'm not sure it'd be fair to fight you here, while you're like this.

[gunslingerqueen]

Yeah, yeah, okay.

[It's the 'sure, that's what you think until first love pummels you in the face' voice.]

Hm? Like what? Tired?

[hairrowing]

Tired and still a little drunk. [said matter of factly-- no judgement, though!]

[gunslingerqueen]

Oh, I'm not drunk anymore.

[Not that it really changes anything.]

You've done enough for one night, Gladion. Plus! I seriously don't know how to handle this much kindness in one one go!

[A very polite way of airing out her control issues.]

[hairrowing]

[he raises a brow at her, silently, for a moment, then concedes with a nod]

Okay. Okay, Nariko.

[gunslingerqueen]

[... Huh?

She had clearly expected a fight where there was none! Her relief is palpable, as they leave. It's a while before the question arrives:]

Are you going to worry unless you walk me right back to my hotel room?

[hairrowing]

[he considered it for a moment, but she must look more 'tired' than she thinks if he goes with it]

Absolutely.

[gunslingerqueen]

[To be entirely fair she is standing upright out of nothing but spite, and knowing that he probably wouldn't be sensible enough to just drag her somewhere.]

Okay.

[He was kind about the money so she won't argue this one! Though, the hotel is a walk away. Time to get going, since teleporting would likely freak him out....]

[hairrowing]

[freak him out and worry him once he'd come to his senses.

but another nod, and though she's fine, Gladion does slip his arm around hers. Just in case, y'know]

[gunslingerqueen]

[It's really late and a little cold, and never a bad time for comforting touch. Though, she does ruin it just a bit with the gigantic smile, her arm briefly tightening around his.

Off they go! Being in unfamiliar places is par for the course and since her head is clear, just tired, making sure to walk in the right direction is easy. It's a while before she speaks up again.]

Hey, start thinking of a proper fun thing you wanna do!

[hairrowing]

[it's...pleasant. a little cold, sure, but the streets aren't too crowded (though he does keep alert, just in case)]

Proper fun thing? What for? I mean...what kind of fun thing?

[gunslingerqueen]

Because friends do fun things together! That's one of the joys of being alive!

[Presumably.]

We could do anything you want!

[hairrowing]

Hmmmm....eating again could be nice. Uh, going to a movie?

[look it isn't that he doesn't do Fun he's just....been busy and not thinking about it lately]

[gunslingerqueen]

[He does not do Fun and it is written over all over the suggestions but -]

Let's do both! [She's really not any better.] What kind of movies do you like?

[hairrowing]

You want to? [well it could be a lot] I like...adventure movies. What about you?

[gunslingerqueen]

Considering that I enjoy spending time with you: Yes!

[There's some brightening with his answer, though its dimmer than usual, just a sign of that exhaustion.]

Same, actually! Oh, and horror movies, and thrillers, and mysteries, too! I'm sort of relieved you didn't say a comedy because I don't know that I could put myself through that.

[hairrowing]

Do I look like the kind of guy who cracks up at comedy movies?

[he raises a brow at her]

[gunslingerqueen]

Do I look like the kind of person who watches gory horror movies?

[Eyebrow waggling: commenced!]
