ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

[ He has made an effort, and she would be remiss to be blind to it, when it's exactly what she'd asked of him when he first made such crass comments towards her. Though she has always been close with nature's elements, from wind to earth to fire to water, the forest has always been her home. She hadn't expected someone, anyone here to so thoroughly open her eyes to another of nature's realms she'd not given much consideration to in the past.

She'd thought her adventurous spirit snuffed out for a long while, now, but... because of everyone here, she's beginning to think that maybe that isn't quite so. A long while for her, however, has been a decade or two— but Uroko speaks on the magnitude of centuries, understandably so, but for that she must look at him in awe.

For the first time in centuries. With her. ]

What... do you mean? What things?

[cosmoid]

I wonder if you'll tease me for it. [ again, mostly a joke. but he says these stupid things (and she might have started to catch on), as a cover for something else. but he's not a coward, so once more, he states clearly: ]

Kissing. And...hmm, these might have been my first dates. Divinity doesn't usually have a need for courting. [ ...now she knows he's been winging a lot of the time they've spent together. All the high school romance he's seen have been good(?) sources of inspiration for their outings. ]

[hearthwarming]

[ ...Oh. ]

...Oh. Really?

[ The Really? truly just tumbles out of her mouth dumbfoundedly. Of course, she'd never bothered to ask until this moment, but... Well, she supposes that gods and their like truly wouldn't have need for courting, when worshippers do enough of that towards them, albeit in a different way.

She can't help but chuckle, maybe a bit teasingly after all, though there's a bit of fondness there, too. She can scarcely believe this is happening... Oh, Oriphi, what have you gotten yourself into now...? ]

No, I- I won't tease you for it, but you understand why I find it a bit surprising, right?

[cosmoid]

Because I'm lazy? [ though he's more slothful really. he guesses it's probably not that though, as she didn't know him well enough when they first met to make that assumption. ]

You are different than any woman I've met before, and though I am not the Sea God—we do share a desire to pursue when someone catches our eye.

[ ...more than eye really as he's said, but he figures he doesn't need to explain that any further and. this is being more open than he's used to on matters of his own heart. his fingers thrum lightly against her skin, not seeking a reaction but more of an energy he needs to express. ]

[hearthwarming]

No, but... as you'd said, you've lived for a very long time.

[ She'd made the assumption, then, that at some point along his lifetime... he must have...

Ori takes a deep breath in, then looses it in something that's an exhale, a laugh, and a sigh all at once. ]

I wonder if you would find me so unique if your world were more like mine. Where there are many tieflings, adventurers, and so on...

[cosmoid]

Oriphi. If you're trying to convince me that I shouldn't like you, you'll have to do a much better job.

[ not to mention he is either incredibly lax or incredibly stubborn with no in between. he pokes her cheek. ]

Or would you rather I not?

[hearthwarming]

[ poke. Her cheeks puff up a little in response. ]

I'm not! I'm just... wondering out loud, is all. Does this mean I have more... romantic experience, between the two of us?

[ lol. lmao even, ]

[cosmoid]

Hoh, maybe. Shall I let you take the lead then?

[ if she doesn't resist, he'll roll her on top of him. ]

[hearthwarming]

[ He'll meet no resistant on her end, and as she settles over him, she hums thoughtfully... for only a moment, before she brings herself down onto her forearms and touches the tip of her nose to his. ]

You're letting me take the lead, hm?

[cosmoid]

[ the sound he makes is part chuckle, part hum, reverberating from his chest. ]

Even a fish out of water has its dignity.
