Hm? Ah... [Good question actually?! He goes over and picks it up to sniff it... he's a fuckin animal] Oh! Haha, that's where I put that. Just alcohol! I accidentally broke the bottle it was in, so I had to put it in here.
[He... sets the bowl right back down where he picked it up from, god. But at least he'll start cleaning up the more fratboy-ish of the mess ie the Actual Trash and food garbage lying around!]
A bowl is more useful than a cup or glass! Once I finish the drink, I can repurpose it and it saves me a trip back to the kitchen if I'm in the middle of working on something.
[Not only is he a messy necromancer but he's also one of those Mad Inventors types who just. Does this kind of thing.]
[She will absolutely be better off not knowing the answer.
But he nods! And points over toward the wall, then some spots to the left of the oven, then over across the floor--]
Perimeter barriers, protection rings, spirit deflection. I'm working on deflection charms that can be carried, too. None of these have had the sort of effect I'm looking for just yet, though.
Not much of anything at all, unfortunately! [He sighs, carding a hand through his hair and toeing at one of the ink splotches.] The ones I was carrying on me didn't really stop whatever is here and I haven't had the chance to test out the rest.
Hey... Maybe we should talk about something [less incredibly awkward] better. I know some stuff about you, but... Maybe we should do some icebreakers, or something.
ANYWAY. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT AN ICEBREAKER IS but he can guess by context, at least. Some sort of introductory something or other... Well, he'll continue cleaning up the garbage, at least, but nods in her direction.]
If you wouldn't mind leading! I'm not entirely sure what an icebreaker entails, or how you do one.
Yeah, sure thing! Um... I guess you haven't heard of truth or dare, but - it's exactly what it sounds like. Each round, whoever's turn it is picks one of those, and they either have to answer a question truthfully or do something the other person tells them to.
[She pushes herself off the bed, so she can give him a demonstration; it's probably easiest to show him what she means. Anyways she teaches yoga for a living so it's probably a Very Good example!!]

What kind of effect have they had, then?

I'm also guessing those aren't going to come off very easily.
no subject
[But haha whoops YEAH... At the question, he glances at the nearest set of stains and looks back at her sheepishly.]
--To be honest, I haven't given it much of a try yet! I usually just wipe them away with my hand enough to break the lines.
[But he thinks that no, no they will not come off easily.]
no subject
It's okay. The ink isn't so bad.
no subject
Haha, still... I'll do my best to clean it up! And I'll keep my writings over here from now on.

So then, your round first? Or shall I go? Either way is fine with me!

Try to do a cartwheel.

-The last thing Wei Wuxian thinks before he attempts to copy her cartwheel and goes crashing into the bedside table.]
—That's much harder than it looks, for some reason!?

[Note to self: no more dares.]

I'm fine, I'm fine! This is nothing. Ah, to think I'd fail a game on the first try, though...! I'm losing my touch!
no subject
[And she looks clearly apologetic.]
Anyways, um - truth.
no subject
[He could have gone for a normal "what's your favorite food" but that's boring!! Though the question in general is hilariously mundane...]
