But that's none of my business

[Sweats harder]

I mean, I don't really know. I haven't gotten to spend much time with people my age before. And only a few that were reasonably older, even. Two of my best friends are children, and one is a talking cat! And the only grown men I really know are over sixty or enchanted to be a frog, so I'm working with, um. A bit of a disadvantage!

But if I had to choose...um. Do I pick separately for men and women? Or altogether. Sorry. What?

[ She is thinking to herself that Rosamund must have an interesting life with how long she's stalling and being indecisive. Her thoughts are not meant to be rude, just observation. ]

[rosebleed]

[Is it interesting or is it just deeply unfortunate]

[dropoffs]

[ objectively, unfortunate, but she's nice and thinks it's interesting. ]

[polliwog]

[ oh, she's shy. that makes sense. that's a lot of words.

unfortunately he would show her mercy. ]

You can choose the most attractive person... to be trapped in a room with! [ so like, the best company. not the hottest. ] If it is easier, picking a man and a woman is fine.

[rosebleed]

Oh! [She perks up at once.] Okay! Then it's you!

[discomfort]

[ this feels like a copout....... ]

[discomfort]

Truth or dare?

[rosebleed]

Don't I get to ask somebody at some point?

[but alas, she is a bottom, so she obeys]

Dare.

[discomfort]

[ she should have but he just ignores the etiquette of this game ]

Invite someone to dance with you.

[polliwog]

Flatterer!

[ mock-accusatory. he does a pleased little fin ruffle. ]

[rosebleed]

It's true though! I've never once had a bad time with you, Sidon!

[Except when you tried to eat her as an octopus.]

Your turn! Truth or dare.

[polliwog]

And I treasure every moment with you, my friend!

[ except the octopuff thing but he was but a baby what do they do besides put things wantonly into their lil shark mouths ]

Let's try... truth!

[rosebleed]

Truth. Truth truth truth. [Ponders.]

Kiss, marry, kill... [Avoiding the recently injured is difficult] Dion, Lucien, or Rodya.

[drymonster]

[ why do you know that game ]

[dropoffs]

[ bro someone's already going to die goddamn ]

[polliwog]

[ incredibly funny question when someone is going to die today ]

So... I choose one for each?

[ cocks his head slightly ]

Prince Dion would make the best partner. But it would be too politically complicated... so I kiss him. I would fight Rodya to the death as she would be a more entertaining battle than Lucien. So I suppose that leaves marriage!

[ is it more insulting to be the kill option or the one left at the end ]

[dropoffs]

I was right to consider you worthy of the suave goose emoji.

[polliwog]

[ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ]

Should I consider that an honor?

[dropoffs]

[ HE CAN ASK ] Yes, you should.

[polliwog]

[ i GUESS ]

Then I will gladly take this title! What does it mean? [ ask that first ]

[dropoffs]

My confidant and I deemed it to represent the bachelor/ette/x with the most potential. [ She will project it on her I.R.I.S. for them. ]

[rosebleed]

[GASPS]

A handsome gander!

[polliwog]

[ THIS.. FUCKING GOOSe.... he laughs, not looking shy at all. ]

I don't know that I deserve a title! But I am indeed honored to associate with this very, very dapper fellow.

Who else was a contender?
