A kiss is a kiss. Hand, cheek, neck are all a-Ok. [ slams the deck down on the edge of the table as some kind of a signal that the game is beginning... and also he just needs to make some kind of a scene to let the dragon's know something is up over here. ]

Would you like to do the honors~? [ motions to the balls and referring to the break. ]

Just making sure. When he brought up getting married my first reaction was to tell him that he'd have to actually kiss me in front of people. Somehow that's the only exception I've found.

[ As she says all this, she starts lining up a break shot. ] Do I get an advantage if I sink more than one?

I guess you're just going to have to renew your vows every year then. [ >3 ]

You get my congratulations. [ he gives her a small round of applause as a treat of what MAY come if she sinks anything. ] But, no, seriously... if you do sink anything... then I'll buy you a bottle of whatever liquor you want for the road.

-- It was a joke. We're not actually going to have any wedding. We'd both be miserable in that situation. One day we'll call ourselves married and everyone else can catch up.

Now you're talking.

[ She winks and does a power break without really needing to look. There's a loud rattle and three balls go down. ]

...either way, you can do so a bunch of times and make him kiss you each time. Marriage means different things to different people. You don't necessarily have to conform to the standard definition.

[ he gives her a real round of applause and then draws a card, a six of hearts, so he grabs a bottle and pours himself six shots - throwing his head back and taking each like a champ. ] Alright. What would you like me to do~?

[ An exaggerated curtsy, then she walks around the table, considering. ]

4 ball in the corner. [ The ball's close enough to the pocket, but there's a bunch of other balls blocking a direct shot. Caeli will have to bank it, jump the others, or do a combination. ]

After you spin around ten times.

I can do that easy... [ and then she adds the spinning. ] Really? [ he gives a laugh and sets the cue down on the edge of the table. she didn't say how fast or how slow, so he does so at his own pace - grinning like an ass the entire time. ]

[ once he's finished he picks up the cue and walks around the table, finding the perfect place to line up his shot. banking it would be easier, but he decides to, instead, jump it... landing it right in front of the pocket, so that it just glides~ in. ]

Hoping I'd miss, Miss Rin?

[ Laughing the entire time ] Ass. I'll be more specific next time.

[ She draws the ten of hearts! And proceeds to line up ten shots. ] Time me. [ (She gets them all down in 8.4 seconds. Chiropteran speed is scary.) ]

Okay, your turn.

14 ball [ points, since it's right next to him. ] middle pocket. [ and another point. there are two balls block a direct shot and another that's kind of in the way for a decent bank shot. she'll have to get creative. ] And play using your non dominant hand.

[ chuckles, she's ambidextrous ]

[ Left hand forward then, she lines up in a completely oddball direction and gives the cue ball a heave with a nice top spin. The bank is all the way across the table, hits another ball on the way back (which goes into the corner pocket) and alters the trajectory of the cue ball enough to hit the 14 in such a way that it splits the two balls in front of it. The 14 eases into the middle picket, and one of those formerly blocking it drifts into the corner pocket. The other ball stops short of the opposite corner. ]

[ She looks vaguely disappointed. ] I really thought I'd get all four. Ah well.

[ childe shakes his head and laughs. ] Next time I'm going to have to be a little bit more specific to make it harder, huh, and say no other balls. But still, real impressive. And 10 shots, huh, I'm falling behind. [ he's going to draw a card and get a nine of diamonds. he lines up the shot glasses and fills each one to the top. ]

So what am I doing this time, hm~?

Hmm.

Nine and three in opposite corners. [ It's a fairly simple split shot, except... ] But with a half full shot glass balanced on the cue ball to start. If any liquid spills when you kick the ball out from under the glass, I get to see the ten most recent pictures on your phone.

[ May the odds be ever in your favor! ]

[ he starts down the shots as she explains what she wants him to do. ]

Hahahaha. Wow, Rin, going hard on me. [ he pours the shot and sets it on the ball, moving around the table to look at the balls. he chooses the side to take aim on. it's not a hard split, but he's got to hit the cue ball with enough force to get the glass to drop soundly... which is the real problem. honestly, he doesn't care if he gets the two balls in so much as he does spilling the liquid, given the challenge. ]

[ he rockets the cue ball out from the shot, getting it to land on the table without spilling anything. the ball, itself, hits the three straight into the pocket and then ricochets off to strike another ball that hits the nine into the opposite one. ]

[ childe gives a laugh, grabbing the shot from the table and throwing his head back to take it, turning the glass upside down and setting it on the edge of the table. ] Hah!

I have faith in you.

[ She watches him shoot, amused to no end. When he manages to pass, she laughs. ] Nice.

-- They must be really good pictures. [ No one goes that hard unless they're sweating. ]

[ She draws again, the nine of clubs. Nine more shot glasses get lined up and slugged back. ] Make it good.

I don't remember what the heck I've taken pictures of recently, so I had to make the shot, so showing them off doesn't come as a surprise to us both. [ he laughs, taking out his phone to check. ]

...alright, nothing nuts. Just me being kind of mushy. [ childe leaves this billiard table while she's taking the shots to go to the one beside it, racking the balls, but then breaking them, himself. ]

Alright. I want you to knock this eight ball in... [ he takes a few shot glasses and sets them on the edge of the table that she'll have to jump to get there. ] without knocking these over.

And if you don't, then I get to turn you into an animal of Doctor's choosing for ten minutes.

[ amused as she hears about the challenge ]

Nice one.

[ She walks around both tables, examining the situation and then lining up for a jump shot with some steam on it. ]

[ She clears the shot glasses, but oh dear she overshot the 8-ball -- but no, when the cue lands it's got backspin and so it reverses course once on the felt, whacking the 8 ball with juuuuust enough force to sink it. ]

[ She gives a little whoop! but then turns to Caeli ]

I can do it anyway, right?

Hahaha. Of course. Who doesn't want to be a cute little animal. I'll even join you. But since you sunk it I'll let you pick.

What would you like to be?

A cat! He loves them, but couldn't get one as a pet. [ For Venti reasons ] His rabbits are adorable, but I know he'd love to snuggle with a kitty for a few minutes. And I get some pets in the deal, so win-win!

[ Doctor brings out her peak girlishness, looking at her right now it's difficult to believe she's a tough-as-nails fighter ]

A cat it is then.

[ time to change her into a cat. he turns himself into a fox, obviously, and then bounds over to zhongli. see you in ten minutes, rin! ]

[ Mrowing at Caeli, and then bounding off for Doctor. Once she poofs back into herself, she meanders back over, giggling ]

He's the cutest.

[ she'll find caeli on his back on the billiard table playing with the eight ball. ]

[ boops his cute little nose ]

Thanks, that was fun.

-- Am I supposed to ask you to make a shot like this?

[ pops up onto his hind paws and makes two muscles, clearly up for the ridiculous challenge. ]

Okay... hm.

You have to strike the cue ball using only one tail. Good luck getting any precision with that adorable fluff.
