[The video switches back to reality with Waver looking pale and a little sick. He immediately cuts off the D-Terminal as Palmon can be heard asking him if he's going to faint.]

[ She arches a brow, regarding him thoughtfully before nodding once. ]

I'll stop talking about that, but Velvet Cake stays. You can't fight it, man. I'm willing to bet my sword you'd be the best dessert I've ever had.

Aside from that, look at me. Right here. Stop with the shifty eyes and look right here. *taptap*

Give me a smile and I might consider dropping the nickname. Promise. No fingers crossed.

[velveteenmage]

Wh--do you think I'm a little kid or something?! I'm not just going to smile on command or anything like that!

[fullofthorns]

[ There's that toothy grin, fierce and shark-like. ]

Sorry. [ No she's not. ] I just like that little thrill and shiver I get when you snap like that. [ That's honest, though. ] One of these days you're gonna be some sexy, super-authoritative guy in a ridiculously expensive suit. I'm totally jealous of whatever chick or dude you end up with.

[velveteenmage]

[roze you have noooooo idea]

I'm not interested in that kind of thing at all! And it's nobody's business even if I was!

[fullofthorns]

Into what kind of thing? [ Innocent face. Come on Waver. Deets. CLEARLY you're too young and innocent to kn~ow. ]

[velveteenmage]

...You're having fun with this, aren't you?

[fullofthorns]

[ Lazy smile and shrug. ]

I am all but transparent to you.

[ She scratches the side of her nose. ]

You seem like the bookish type. Should I try a little harder?

[velveteenmage]

I'd rather you didn't try at all, please.

[fullofthorns]

Come on, bear with me. Give me a chance. *playful pout*

It just has to be a little more high brow. Right?

Knock Knock.

[ She's serious, Velvet Cake. ]

[velveteenmage]

[do you hear the long-suffering anguish in this sigh do you]

Who's there?

[fullofthorns]

[ Hey, could be worse. Could be making impassioned cries loud enough to get his roomies' attention. ]

To.

[velveteenmage]

[>:T]

To who?

[fullofthorns]

To whom.

[ 8D CLEVER RIGHT OMG? ]

[velveteenmage]

... [groaning in disgust at that joke thanks.]

You've got to be kidding me.

[fullofthorns]

Okay okay. Here. How about this.

Julius Caesar walks into a bar. He says to the bartender, "I'd like a martinus." "Don't you mean a martini?" the bartender asks, to which Caesar replies "If I wanted a double I'd have said so!"

[ Internal snare drum! ]

[velveteenmage]

...Pfft.

[Waver quickly brought a hand to his mouth to cover up any trace of a laugh, doing his best to keep looking disapproving.]

Th-that's ridiculous.

[fullofthorns]

I know right? Caesar is obviously more of a malbec or merlot guy. [ Wink. Don't worry, she won't call you out on that, Velvet Cake. ]

[velveteenmage]

That doesn't even make any sense.

[fullofthorns]

You don't think he's a red wine guy?

Okay then...

Argon walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, you have to leave! We don't serve noble gasses here!" Argon didn't react.

[velveteenmage]

[Face, meet desk.]

[LAME JOKES. WHY.]

[fullofthorns]

Oh come on! Okay okay.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar.

...

And it doesn't.

[velveteenmage]

[whack whack whack]

[waver you're gonna give yourself a concussion on that desk.]

Please. Enough. I can't take it.

[fullofthorns]

Alright alright. I promise. *chuckle* Don't get bent out of shape. I might be having a better time of it than you, but you're doin' alright. Mission accomplished in toto.

[ She reaches up, testing the twists in her hair that Kotemon finished and nods approvingly before moving to sit on her bed, eyeing Waver thoughtfully. ]

You want me to let you go then? I didn't quite get a smile but I'll settle for what I did get.

[velveteenmage]

If you're quite done trying to kill me with terrible jokes.

[Waver hesitated--she had done remarkably well to get his mind off of things, and he suspected that had been the goal from the start.]

...Thanks. If you end up needing anything around here, I probably won't be too hard to find.

[fullofthorns]

[ She smiles and nods, tipping an imaginary hat. ]

Likewise, Velvet Cake. Anytime you need anything, from playful cajoling to a proper hug. Or just to talk. I happen to like talking for the sake of it. I'm not a total man-eater. To quote one of my idols, 'I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way'.

Hope you dream sweet, babe. *screen kiss* Later. *click*
