[ Glancing up. ]

I know, but it helps a lot having a friend to talk over the weird stuff like this with. So thanks for that.

[ She pauses. For a brief moment, a blink and you miss it kind of moment her smile's one of embarassment. She hides it from tucking away a strand of loose bangs and then moving to press a kiss against his cheek. ]

[ And then turns away like she did nothing at all as she puts away the rest of the braiding supplies she just magically had. ]

[ He pauses for a moment before smiling a bit fondly himself and probably wisely not commenting, hand reaching up to idly feel over the braid curiously. They can have a nice moment without heckling each other. ]

Onto the next?

[ Probably a wise decision since resettles against him with a raised brow: ]

What was it again? Bear hug and pet names, right? How about Soft-boy?

[ It's teasing, probably. ]

When'd I get a reputation for being soft?

By my standards you're definitely pretty soft.

[ A beat and she adds on: ] But that's not a bad thing.

[ Gonna tease right back then!! ]

How about something that doesn't come with a disclaimer?

Are you actually going to try to use it for longer than the next five seconds?

I'm gonna remember it at least.

Well, I've already said it so you'll already remember it.

Besides, it only needs a disclaimer if you make it need one. I was just saying how you're a good guy - but 'Good Guy Rion' is hardly a pet name. And isn't half of it to have secondary implications?

[ Look she should double down because like??? She's already said it she can't unsay it. Besides he is soft - ]

[ Honestly he's laughing at that doubling down because it's too funny and cute. ]

Okay, okay, I graciously accept the first one.

[ Elbow him before giving a satisfied hmph: ]

Looks like all you got left is a hug to see if you can get a new form, then.

[ or just stay perma werehorse like she's perma dragon - ]

Looks like it.

[ Opening his arms for her again, surely he'll survive this time. ]

[ It's time for another bear hug - But he's right :( Horse Rion just too beefy to squish. ]

[ Yesss, survival, and giving her a warm hug before letting go. ]

I think that's all of them.

Yep, now you'll have to help me.

[ Hands him the card for him to choose the line - ]

[ Tracing down the column second from the right. ]

How about this one?

[ She finds it and frowns slightly with a roll of her eyes - ]

Talking ones, huh.

[ Said with all the indignation of someone who just likes to punch things. She shakes her head: ]

Should we start at the top, then?

[ Unabashedly. ]

I like talking.

And that sounds good.

Of course you do.

[ Life is so much easier if you just punch things, but she doesn't linger too much further on it. It says share a memory, so obviously the natural solution there is to bring out the cellphone and buy one. There is a brief moment of hesitance since the last of the batch she purchased a few days prior... left her blinded for a little bit. ]

[ But she doesn't let herself think about it too long before she presses the purchase button. And Rion gets to see this across the nearby screens... It's a lot of information (war) all at once - among certain other things. ]

[ She's honestly just - Quiet for once, brows furrowed. ]

That was... a lot.

[ Definitely a lot to take in. ]

[ Another moment and she kind of laughs - It's not exactly amused or over-the-top. It's most just a sound that almost sounds like understanding. Agreement? ]

You're telling me - I think the least complicated memories were the races.

... You said someone you knew was here, was he... ?

[ He won't point out which, but... ]
