[ I AM SO ENTRANCED.......and Akane would be so ridiculously impressed, smh ]

Do you have time to learn a dance routine? I think you should be doing other things...

NOT SLUTTY

[outplayed]

why not slutty? 🥺

[ does she fear the power of this white boy? ]

anyways, how long could it possibly take to learn? like i said, im very coordinated
if its not a super long routine i bet i could do it on one of my off days

[adrifts]

I'm not sure you can pull it off right

[ Shots fired ]

That sounds quite ambitious but coming from you I believe it. Hmmmmmm let me find a good one!

[outplayed]

damn, just because i dont have any curves?
fine, you pick the dance then
nothing too acrobatic either, and make sure its something youd actually want to see me doing

[adrifts]

Something I'd actually want to see you doing? I wouldn't pick something to make fun of you without giving something in return. Otherwise it's not fair.

How flexible are you?

[outplayed]

id say im pretty flexible, i do have to stretch every day
i can touch my toes unless im really sore

[ he might actually be understating slightly, seeing as how some of his crazier shots involved him contorting his body in unconventional ways... ]

dont make me do the splits or a full leg lift, though...

[adrifts]

Why not? I'm pretty sure those would be far more comfortable than some of the things you've done while playing.

[ True. Can Bodies Really Do All That? More news at 11..... ]

[outplayed]

you think? ive never considered it...

[ when the moment comes, kaiser simply clutches up and does what he must. ]

but now im a little concerned that youre really going to make me use all my hypothetical flexibility... you can go easy on me and be gentle, its my first time, okay? [ um ]

[adrifts]

Please don't say it like that, it makes me feel like I'm about to deflower you or something sinister!

[outplayed]

but i AM a delicate and beautiful flower who should be treated as such?

[ more like this, but yeah. ]

[adrifts]

I think... that is partly true, but I also think that is not what you want people to see. So, yes and no.

[outplayed]

oh my, you know me so well. i guess i cant say that youre wrong
but i also think i can say about the same to you in turn, no?

[adrifts]

A little. [ She spends a lot of time watching, going back over their conversations; Akane tells herself it is the challenge, the peculiarity of their acquaintanceship. ] I think you can, it wouldn't be fair otherwise, right?

[outplayed]

a little? lets just say its "enough" then.

[ true enough it is that you can never truly know somebody else... but "enough" will suffice. ]

[adrifts]

enough to carry on a convincing performance, is that satisfying?

[ meaning: she can pry but she is trying not to do so. ]

[outplayed]

do you really feel that way? somehow your phrasing is making me think youre being polite with me
if you need to know more then you should ask

[adrifts]

[ on the other side, akane fidgets a little, and shyness overtakes the feeling of momentary bravado she displayed before. a performance is easy to do but what she could find out here might be unwanted. ]

I don't really need to ask to know more. Does that bother you?

[outplayed]

[ that's a good question. kaiser has an immediate gut reaction, but he pauses to think about it through anyways, and decides that his logical response aligns with his instinct. ]

no, it doesn't bother me
if things seem clear to you, then all that means is that youre perceptive... thats it.

[adrifts]

[ getting messily attuned to the person she is fake-dating is Fun. ]

Thank you. I expect it goes both ways, and that's a little ... daunting.

[outplayed]

[ they can share mental disorders 💙 ]

is it? but im so trustworthy 🥺
why worry 🥺

[ he's kidding, of course. but he doesn't plan on taking advantage, that's not what a partnership looks like!! ]

[adrifts]

[ trauma bond asljklda.

his words are sweet, really. but in truth: ]

I just don't want you to be uncomfortable, it goes both ways.

[outplayed]

a little discomfort is good for my personal development so i dont mind
i wouldnt do something like this with just anybody, keep that in mind

[ with 99.99% of the other people kaiser might get into a business relationship with — and that list isn't very long in the first place — he would have provided a neurotic list of dozens of things that the other person can or can't do. but kaiser's pretty sure he can trust akane to act judiciously. ]

[adrifts]

I know, which is why I will do my best. [ she can act the part perfectly, she needs to watch him a little longer and learn all his tells and fill in the gaps of who he is. from there she can figure out— ]

But I never did ask who your type is, out of curiosity.

[outplayed]

havent i?
somebody beautiful, intelligent, and full of love 💙
wow, youre just the perfect fit 🥺

[ i'm like. 95% sure kaiser was bullshitting when he said that originally. but also... ]

[adrifts]

[ laughter on the other end of the line; she presses her fingers against a warming cheek. she knows it is bullshit—at least she perceives it to be partially so. but there are some very basic truths here: beautiful yes, appearances are important to kaiser. intelligent? absolutely, he's smart and would get bored with someone who is less so. full of love?

akane puzzles that one out. maybe he means devoted? ]

That makes me really happy to hear, this would be hard if I wasn't sort-of your type.
