It's more that when I go fast I have difficulty stopping. Or turning quickly.

[levelheadless]

Mm, I think I get it. [puts a hand on his side] There's always hide and find.

[was_no_monster]

[ leans into the touch a little, absentminded ]

That one I would probably be too good at.

[levelheadless]

In which role, the demon or the prey?

[was_no_monster]

Both. I've got good hearing, and I'm better at stealth than most people tend to expect, given—

[ wiggles his bad shoulder, resulting in a really obnoxious stuck-machinery grinding noise ]

[levelheadless]

[laughs softly, running a hand over that shoulder]

I wouldn't mind being hunted down by you.

[was_no_monster]

Rille.

[ more amused than the verging on scandalized tone he'd been using last time, though. leaning into that touch again, but this time not stopping until he's slowly tipped over to sprawl stomach-down across Rille's legs ]

I'm starting to think that you wouldn't recognize subtlety if it walked up and quietly tapped on your shoulder.

[levelheadless]

[reaches down to pull his head out of the way and put it a bit higher up]

I'm flirting, I'm not hitting on you. Just flirting.

[was_no_monster]

[ waits until he's done doing that and then basically makes himself comfortable ]

Well, now you're cuddling me.

[levelheadless]

So I am.

[curls around him]

[was_no_monster]

[ hums a low, pleased rumble ]

[levelheadless]

[laughs softly and pets his hair] Sleepy, huh.

[was_no_monster]

It takes me a while to get started in the mornings. ...Not that I'd object to this when I'm not half-asleep, but.

[levelheadless]

Oh, a cuddler?

[was_no_monster]

Mn. ...My sense of touch isn't very good, so I tend to overcompensate.

[levelheadless]

...

[hesitates uncertainly, hand hovering]

[was_no_monster]

[ lifting his head to look at his hand, and then check Rille's expression ]

[levelheadless]

[Blushing a bit, uncertain]

Ah, I ... That's a big opening.

[was_no_monster]

...Ah, sorry. I didn't... actually mean for it to be, it was more... there are things you have to work with or around, too.

[levelheadless]

My impulse was to flirt but I feel like I'd have offended you pretty bad there.

[was_no_monster]

[ ... starts laughing quietly. reaching over to pat Rille clumsily just under his shoulder ]

To be honest, I've, had that sort of conversation, so probably not. Thank you, though.

[levelheadless]

Something like, "I'd help you overcompensate", but that's going too far, maybe?

[was_no_monster]

[ pffft ]

That's fine because it's going too far.

[levelheadless]

[groans, laughing] Your lines are weird and I don't know how to find them.

[was_no_monster]

[ wryly apologetic ]

When I can figure that out myself, you'll be the first to know.

...That particular one isn't that difficult, though. I'm not used to other people being interested enough to want to flirt; it's easier to accept if I can't take it seriously.
