[Holy shit. He remembers that cat]

You caught it!?

[iamverybadass]

Her. And I would hardly call it catching. They were happy to come with me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Slightly u n s u r e]

Does that mean you're a secret cat whisperer?

[iamverybadass]

Perhaps. I did convince them both not to bite their shoes off, which was a little difficult.

[ They seem...pretty chill with them now, in fact. Aside from taking awkward steps with them on. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just watches them for a few more moments. Entranced.

Before shaking his head.

Focus, Intensity, focus.]

You participating in the game?

[iamverybadass]

I am not making a real effort to play, but I am willing to participate with people who are.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Excellent. It just so happens I'm attempting to cross Wild City off my bingo card.

[iamverybadass]

Very well.

[ Glancing at the cat(s) to make sure they're not getting into trouble before turning to face him ]

I prefer simple hugs, if you do not mind.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's more than one type of hug?

[iamverybadass]

[ Flatly ]

Some people like to take the opportunity to cuddle.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

One. I don't cuddle.

Two. I'm only doing this for the points. And the title.

[iamverybadass]

I'm not surprised, but the confirmation is nice.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well then.

Holds out arms awkwardly.

Shall we do the thing?]

[iamverybadass]

[ Going over for the hug but

He is definitely watching Intensity like a hawk, alert for any extra tension or movement to indicate something up his sleeve, or movement toward his pockets ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wow, Talon.

Surely there is no ulterior motive for Intensity to go in for a hug so shortly after they made their bet.

And surely there is nothing suspicious about the attempt at sleight of hand movement from Intensity's wrist to one of Talon's pockets]

[iamverybadass]

[ Of course, how could he suspect such an innocent teen?

He shifts slightly, just enough to transition to a one-armed hug so he can reach down and grip Intensity's wrist in a light but firm hold ]

You will need to be much more subtle than this.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He laughs. Seemingly delighted]

Just checking to see if you were paying attention.

[iamverybadass]

I am always paying attention.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you have claimed.

But we're just getting started.

[And from the motions of his wrist, it seems he's pocketing the card back into whatever place he pulled it out of]

[iamverybadass]

Hopefully your next attempt is less glaringly obvious.

[ He waits until he's satisfied that Intensity's actually put the card away before letting go of his wrist ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[The card is no longer in his hand. And neither will Talon find it on his person, so---]

You wound me, Talon.

You don't think I would hug you just to win a game?

[iamverybadass]

I would be disappointed if you proved to be less goal-driven than I expected.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Perish the thought.

And why not be economical about things and try to get two things accomplished for the price of one?

[iamverybadass]

Of course. It is the most efficient use of your time, after all.
