[It's been a long week for everyone, but there are a few people that stick out to her. That's why, when she sees Nikkari on the pool deck, she approaches, voice soft.]
[ at the very least, it looks like he's doing better than his near breakdown during trial. so that's something! when beck approaches him, he tears his eyes away from whatever he was staring at in the distance, and just laughs softly. ]
Haha... if I received a token for every time someone asked me that question this weekend, I'd be able to buy out the entire gift shop.
[ yeah... yeah. he's a little more reluctant to talk about himself than some of his peers. ]
It is. But even though it's less claustrophobic than staying inside... it still only serves to remind us that we are trapped.
[ he shifts his gaze over to the seemingly boundless ocean again, long ponytail whipping in the salty breeze... but then offers another, weaker chuckle as he shakes his head. ]
Haha... where are my manners? Surely you didn't come to find me just to have me lament about our circumstances. [ he turns to her properly and gives her a little polite bow. ] My apologies, Beck-san.
[ if he's bothered by her tone, he doesn't show it. if anything, it encourages him to shoot her a teasing look of his own. ]
Oh my—you already feel comfortable enough with me that you'd allow me to drop the honorific? We haven't even gotten to know each other that intimately yet, unless...
[ ... but then he shakes his head too, with a soft chuckle as his expression relaxes. ]
Don't worry—I'm not serious. This way of addressing people is simply what I'm most familiar with. If you'd truly prefer just "Beck," that is what I'll use.
[It's a little bit after the dates have wrapped up that she's looking around the BDSM store again. When she notices Nikkari there, she glances away from the restraints that she's currently focused on, tilting her head slightly.]
[ meanwhile, nikkari is idly poking at some of the more... impressive anal plugs. hm. ]
Haha... nothing in particular, though I was wondering if I could get creative with some of the squares I have yet to fill on my bingo card. What brings you here, Beck?
[ he looks at his card, and then starts to laugh. ]
Speaking honestly, I've already completed a row. I've since been helping others cross off their cards, but... I've now gotten to a point where I'm curious as to what may happen if I manage to do everything.
week one, sunday.
Hey. You doing alright, after everything...?

[In this cruel world of sex demons. Either way, she won't push him to answer if he doesn't want to, but...]
It's nice to be able to get some air, isn't it?

[It's sarcastic, stretched over a layer of frustration. She shakes her head in turn when he apologizes, waving a hand.]
Hey, don't sweat it. I'm pretty sure we've all earned some venting. But - you can just call me Beck, if you want.

Looking for something?

[She tilts her head, though, looking his way.]
How much do you have left?

[ NIKKARI? ]
no subject
[To the row thing, at least. Although...]
You got any predictions? Maybe you'll get an extra special prize.
no subject
[ DON'T JOKE ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING? ]
no subject
...Let's cross our fingers that's not going to happen. Are there any you're particularly curious about, though?
