[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!]

[hairrowing]

Yes.

[just straight up]

[gunslingerqueen]

What?!

[He's fucking with her!!!!!]

[hairrowing]

[just looks at her solemnly]

[gunslingerqueen]

I really thought I gave off a cuter air than that ...

[Pout, pout, pout.]

Ugh, so I didn't even get to surprise you!

[hairrowing]

You forget while I haven't seen you at your wildest, I've seen some of it.

[but he's chuckling-- softly, so softly]

Too bad.

[gunslingerqueen]

[POUTING!!!! God, this is why she doesn't have a boyfriend, isn't it?! Well, not actually, but it is the first thought that crosses her mind. The second is that getting a laugh out of him was kind of the next best thing.]

Fine, whatever, we're gonna watch an incredibly cool adventure movie and have something really cool for dinner!

[hairrowing]

Fine, fine, whatever you say. You're in charge.

[gunslingerqueen]

But, you wouldn't get involved with anything you didn't want to do, right?

[Look, she's lovingly forceful, not inconsiderate!!]
