"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[memlost]

Well, I liked it.

[ To be completely, shamelessly honest. His hand sneaks up into her hair to give it a reassuring ruffle. ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ She'll lift her head-- just a little, to peer at him dubiously. ]

... It wasn't exactly dignified...

[memlost]

But you were enjoying yourself.

[ No question necessary. ]

[bloodandblunder]

Y-yes...

[ She wants to die. ]

[memlost]

[ DON'T DIE. ]

Then that's what matters! And to be frank, little signs like that make me enjoy it even more. Not that I needed much help in the first place... but it sure is encouraging!

[bloodandblunder]

So I... shouldn't try to be quieter?

[ But... ]

[memlost]

Not for my sake! Everyone else, on the other hand...

[ They might get a little jealous. ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ ... Erk. ]

I'll, um-- definitely try to be careful.

[memlost]

Ha ha ha. But I really did like it, for the record! Not just the um, noises, but all of it. All of you!

[ ... M...ostly not as dirty as it sounds?? ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ Mostly... Morgan please, she's already so red. ]

I... liked it, too. Kissing you, I mean-- I don't think I've ever seen you so...

[ And she'll trail off, because how does she even put words to this? ]

[memlost]

So...?

[bloodandblunder]

... Just the sight of you took my breath away.

[ she says to her lap. In a whisper. ]

[memlost]

Oh. ... Me? Are you sure?

[ It sounds like high praise, but higher praise than he should be getting... ]

[bloodandblunder]

I-I wouldn't be so embarrassed if I wasn't sure!

[memlost]

Heh, okay, okay. I'm flattered! And I'll take it as a sign that I should keep right on doing what I'm doing. Which should be easy enough, since... well, you're pretty stunning yourself.

[ A+, would make out with anytime. ]

[bloodandblunder]

S-stunning? With this bedhead?

[ Morgan pls. ]

[memlost]

It's adorable! And kind of attractive, if we're making this Honesty Hour. It's juuust that right level of unkempt that makes me want to run a hand through your hair and mess it up even more... and go for a kiss or two while I'm at it, 'cause why waste a perfectly good opportunity, and also because you have the cutest reactions and it's sorta exciting if I go at it a certain way--

[ stop him ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ She legit has no idea what to say to any of this, and if she tries to protest, he seriously might keep going--

So she'll just lean forward for a brief kiss, if just to throw off his rhythm. MORGAN SHE CAN'T HANDLE YOUR HONESTY RIGHT NOW. ]

[memlost]

[ Just as planned. Distantly. But hey, it does get him to stop talking in a hurry. He blinks in surprise at her and... takes the hint... ]

I guess that means I should stop now.

[bloodandblunder]

Yes, please.

[ She won't last much longer. ]

[memlost]

... Gotcha. We should get this day properly started anyhow! I'll give you a moment to get in proper order, and we can get this ball rolling.

[ He scoots away so he can... not be here when she's changing and such... ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ Thanks for that, Morgan. It won't take long, and she'll even try to do something about her hair.

... Not that it cooperates much, and it's still curling near the ends, but she looks a little less like she just woke up when she opens the door again. ]

Sorry to keep you waiting... I'm all finished.

[memlost]

[ He's still mildly pink and leaning on a couch arm with a distracted air when she comes out, but hops up quickly. ]

Do you want to grab a snack before we go?

[bloodandblunder]

Ah, I'm all right! [ appetite of a dying bird. ] But if you'd like anything--

[memlost]

[ welp he tried... ]

Mm, I'm fine. I had a bite earlier. But if you get hungry later, be sure to mention it! I brought along some dried noodles, just in case.

[ They are expertly squirreled away in his Robespace in a place where they could not be felt or crushed shh. Trade secret. ]
