ELESA YOU ARE MERCILESS]

--Ah. [...Wait, that means--] Absolutely-- absolutely, it sounds like a very good idea. It would be quite efficient... [and he'd have more opportunities to see her...!]

[shiningbeauty]

And you'd have no excuse to not come to more of my shows, too. I'll give you VIP passes.

[infinitefrown]

Once it's more accessible, I'd be happy to attend, of course. [VIP passes, so special... ... and with a more advantageous view... (of course, it would still be relative torture because she'd be there and he could only watch and SHE WOULD PROBABLY TAUNT HIM, TOO........)] I'll count on the passes, then.

[shiningbeauty]

[Making you want it and then not letting you have it is just... too fun.]

Good, good. But first, you have to get better.

[Here, have a kiss since you've been so patient.]

[infinitefrown]

[the cruelest of girlfriends... (but why does he like it)]

Ah, that destination is disappointingly far off... [But he can accept the kiss. Thank you. Please don't be as quick as last time--!!]

[shiningbeauty]

[Because the wait is so worth it. And here, she'll be fair and give you a nice long kiss.]

Mm, you can make it. I love you, Ingo.

[infinitefrown]

I love you too. [Aah, it's nice how easy that is to say.

...oh, but-- not to gossip, but-- ] Hmm. Speaking of that kind of thin-- Emmet has started to go down that line with someone, himself... [Hasn't he?

Hilbert's been around a lot... though Ingo doesn't see much, since he's stuck here. Elesa, you probably intuitively know about it since you're a girl....]

[shiningbeauty]

He's been going down that line longer than he's been aware of it.

[Elesa chuckles, looking all too amused.]

It's only recently that the two of them have come to realize it.

[infinitefrown]

Well... He's done better than me, in any case. [Ingo you sucked at this. How long did you crush on Elesa without realizing it??? Forever?]

[shiningbeauty]

He has absolutely not! It took until this whole scare before he realized that he felt so secure with Hilbert's presence.

You two are equally as bad at this.

[infinitefrown]

Ah. [... ...]

You're quite observant.

[elesa how do you know these things]

[shiningbeauty]

I work in a workplace that is almost completely dominated by women. You learn to recognize romantic tension and interpret those wistful sighs.

[infinitefrown]

I see. [...Kind of.

WOMAN'S INTUITION]

I'm sorry you had to go through the trouble of interpreting us... [not that... he can really help being a huge dork and not getting it fhkjsfh BUT

YOU KNOW

(if he's careful about his wound can he cuddle you elesa pls)]

[shiningbeauty]

[She can curl up against your not-stabbed side. That is perfectly acceptable!]

It's fine. It's part of your charm, in the end.

[infinitefrown]

[Charm?... That?? Wh.... OKAY NOW SHE'S REALLY BEYOND HIM]

If you say so. [He plants a kiss in her hair, frowning a little to himself. Oh no, he's being thickheaded right now, isn't he... noooo....]

[shiningbeauty]

You don't understand because you're not attracted to yourself the way I'm attracted to you.

[infinitefrown]

[Ingo has to chuckle a little at the way that sounds. So she's attracted to him and his social awkwardness. Well, okay.]

I suppose that makes sense. [Leaning his forehead on hers. At least his "charm" is a.... positive thing...?] So long as you're all right with it.

[shiningbeauty]

If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here. You know that. Don't overthink it - I'm as serious as a lightning strike!

[infinitefrown]

[A lightning strike... aah, Elesa.]

Of course. I won't try to puzzle my way down that line-- I already know.

[and now they're just gonna exchange their respective puns oops]

[shiningbeauty]

You have such a mild self-image! You should know you're more electrifying than you assume yourself to be.

[infinitefrown]

Perhaps... [ah, elesa saying that is embarrassing...] It's hard to acknowledge when I don't notice it myself, but... at least I am secure in the knowledge that your electricity prefers to run in this subway circuit.

[So there's some credit to her assertion!!]

[shiningbeauty]

Oh, I'll show you how much you amplify every little spark, for me...

[She'll place a kiss at the corner of his mouth...]

...Once you've fully recovered, of course.

[infinitefrown]

[....dsfsdffhg--]

You're a horrible tease, Miss Elesa.

[and he won't let her get away with just that little kiss...! he'll pull her in for a proper one-- no escaping!]

[shiningbeauty]

[Ah, so you use pursuit on Elesa to grab a kiss? Sneaky... she indulges, and she'll get more bang for her buck for it.]
