[The rum is innocent!!!

He'll just freeze where he is, which is probably a rather comical stance given he has his arm stretched out as if to reach for the bottle of draining rum—]

No—I mean—I'm sorry! I went too far with the joke!

[mooglebow]

[Oh... he apologized quick. She'll just... tip the bottle back so it's only dripping rum now, at least for a few drops. Any that drips down the bottle neck she'll catch with a finger to get so it's no longer wasted, and hands the bottle back to him when she passes him to sit back down with her ice cream.

HMPH.]

If you get a bad brain freeze I won't feel bad for you.

[Just gonna scold him for it that way.]

[rokubro]

[HE WAS GOING TO BEFORE SHE TOOK THE RUM HOSTAGE.

But oh his precious rum. There's just a look of exhausted defeat as he takes it back and sits back down next to her.

...Man. He really does feel kind of bad though.]

Okay, so I just have to get a brain freeze, right?

[He stares at the rest of his ice cream, seems to think about his next course of action for like two seconds, dumps a good bit of rum into his bowl, and just shovels over half of it into his mouth.]

[mooglebow]

[At least it wasn't a huge amount gone! Just a shot glass worth, maybe. That's not that much!!!

His question gets a confused look, but she quickly understands when he starts shoveling the ice cream into his mouth Rokurou what are you doing?!]

Roku-- no, I didn't mean to do that!

[rokubro]

[A shot of rum is like a lifetime of joy or something overdramatic like that.

He just holds up a hand as he shovels one last spoonful—]

Aaah, shit, mmph—!

[Just a very loud hiss as he now suffers a real brain freeze. It's honestly been so long since he's had a legitimate one, and considering how much and fast he had to eat to get there, not surprising. Perhaps it's not so much he's immune and just his daemon constitution allows him to endure a hell lot more before it triggers.

Anyway. Yeah just going to grasp at his bowl and hunch over just a little as it passes through. Definitely a more normal reaction.]

[mooglebow]

Rokurou, you didn't have to go that far--!

[For as much as she said she wouldn't feel bad for him, she does feel bad that he thought he had to do that at all, and that's pretty obvious on her placing her bowl on the table so she can fret over Rokurou doing something that dumb.]

Just you saying you were sorry was fine!

[rokubro]

[Just another heavy cringe before he leans and tilt his head back, clenching his teeth as he feels the last of it finally passing through before he can finally relax again.]

It's fine, I kind of asked for it for being a jerk earlier.

[Just a little strained because man that was one doozy of a brain freeze. But it'll pass quickly.]

[mooglebow]

[Just. Gonna stare at him for a moment, before cupping his cheeks with her hands, leaning in, and kissing his forehead.]

You're so stupid. I said I wouldn't worry, and I didn't, but I am concerned that you just... did that.

[rokubro]

[He honestly wasn't sure where she was going with this, so the kiss on the forehead is a very pleasant surprise. So there's just a light chuckle as he looks at her.]

Hey, I'm a daemon and it's just a brain freeze. It's not the worst thing.

[mooglebow]

Yeah, yeah. You still didn't have to do that, you know.

[The hands that are still on his cheeks give just the gentlest of caresses... before she pinches both of his cheeks and pulls them a little.]

...there. Now we're even, I think. I didn't think I'd be pouring out too much of the rum but I was trying not to. Just enough to scare you a little. I didn't think it was that important to you, but you showed me.

[rokubro]

Ow ow ow—!

[Cheeks pulled!! How mean, especially after he started to let his guard down from that gentle caress!! But also. Fair in the grand scheme of things.

He just kind of winces a little, but at the mention of the rum and its importance, he just pouts a little.]

It's not so much "important" and just... Well it would have been a waste if you really dumped it all, especially since it's actually pretty good.

[mooglebow]

I wasn't going to. I also thought about just dumping your ice cream on you, but that seemed a little too mean. ...maybe nudging a bruise by "accident" but that would have made me feel really bad, especially after everything. So I went with the least mean thing I could think of.

[She'll be honest with him, at least?! But no, actively hurting an injury or doing any of that really would have made her feel terrible for a lot of reasons, but the alcohol could be a casualty, even for just a shot glass worth of it.]

So the rum got the worst of it instead of you. ...I feel bad even thinking about the other two before that, if I'm honest, so... I'm sorry I did.

[rokubro]

...Even if you didn't do it, the fact that you thought of it still says a lot about your ideas of revenge. [A very wry if wary grin. Maybe he should think twice about his pranks—]

But since you feel bad about it—

[Just going to suddenly lean in and steal a kiss.]

—now we're good.

[Cheeky grin is very cheeky.]

[mooglebow]

Yeah, but I feel bad that I even thought of those things in the first place! That isn't what I should think of, those are just mean--

[... you know. She'll let the kiss slide.]

That's all it takes for us to be good, huh?

[rokubro]

[Just a careless grin and a shrug.]

What can I say, I'm a simple guy.

[mooglebow]

Yeah, I guess you are. At least now I know it doesn't take much for you to put something behind you. Imagine everyone else who has gotten a kiss from you for that same reason!

[Considering she's laughing, she's joking... probably.]

[rokubro]

[Pft. He can tell she's joking, but he's running with it, anyway.]

I'm a little more selective than that. Only the ladies get that treatment, the guys get a kiss from my blade instead.

[If he were more of a ladies man—that actually could have been a true statement.]

But you're getting off a little easy now. I may have to ask for more depending on future transgressions.

[mooglebow]

Glad I'm not a guy, then, and I get the other kind.

[Though it's not like she hasn't gotten hit by his blade already, but.

His response in general gets a raised eyebrow. "More" huh?]

Like what, two instead of one kiss? Oh no, how terrible.

[rokubro]

Maybe.

[And are those his hands at her sides? And is that his face moving closer to her and dipping down to her neck? Why yes. Yes all that is happening.

But instead of what she might be thinking, he ends up........





.....................tickling her.]

[mooglebow]

Wh-- Rokurou, what are--

[His getting close like that, and then going toward her neck, she braces for his worst (and of course, to enjoy it) until... UNTIL...

He starts tickling her. She's really glad she hadn't grabbed her ice cream again, because it would have gone alllllll over the floor, but in between her laughter and flailing and trying to get him to stop, she does smack the container of the whipped cream...

...to get it on to them and the floor. Whoops.]

[rokubro]

[Yes, he could have gone thought route, but he went for the more fun one instead. Punishment and all that. Plus it's nice to hear her laugh, and he's starting to laugh as well as he continues his terrible attack.

However, he had not expected the whip cream to suddenly splatter everywhere—okay maybe he should have been more aware of things but he honestly just forgot about it.]

Whoa—! Whoops—

[Well. It did make him stop, arms raised a little bit as he stares at the whip cream splattered on them.]

[mooglebow]

[...well it was better than her accidentally slamming a hand into an injury of his, at least? So she's at least grateful for that, and she's kind of giggling still, but she's looking at the ice cream topping on her arm, shirt, and a little on her cheek, she thinks?

And then there's Rokurou, who doesn't look like he came out unscathed in the whipped cream massacre.]

S-sorry, you... [just gonna giggle here] you kinda deserved that...

[rokubro]

[He's got a long, splattering streak starting from a little on his lower cheek, a few specks on his neck to the exposed neckline, down his shirt, and across his arm, so yeah definitely not unscathed. He'll just be in his assumed awkward position for a few moments before he looks at her.

...Pfft.]

Maybe so. So here, let me make it up to you by helping clean up a bit.

[And then there's just a devilish glint in his eye as he first leans in to bring his lips to that cheek, licking off that bit of cream before pulling back with a smirk.]

[mooglebow]

H-hey, Roku--!

[Ooh-- that was rude. Well... kind of rude... it's kind of hot?? But he shouldn't be doing that?! She's blushing pretty furiously at his actions though!]

[rokubro]

[Oh he sees that blush. He had planned to just end it there, just an extreme form of teasing, but... Even he couldn't resist going in for just a little more.]

Hold on, think I missed a spot.

[There's still that little glint and smirk as one hand goes to her side while the other moves to her other cheek, tilting her face up a bit to expose more of her neck. She'll then feel his lips against the top of her neck, near the underside of her jaw before he starts to travel down a bit. Slowly.

Yeah.

There's no whip cream here.]
