[She nods.]

I haven't talked to her yet, but Junpei told me who it is this afternoon.

[givethemhell]

Ah— Well, first of all, when you do, let her know it was Junpei who told you! She told me not to tell anyone and I don't want her coming to bash my skull in.

[Junpei is fair game though, apparently??]

Also, could you pass on to her that role-holders can be possessed whenever you do that?

[uncurtained]

...I'm not going to tell her who it was unless he tells me it's okay, but I'm not going to pin it on you, either.

[After a moment:]

Where did you hear that?

[givethemhell]

That's fine, too - just as long as she knows it wasn't me.

[HIS REALASS FEARS... Though he waves a hand at that!]

Junpei mentioned it once and she was asking about it. Ah - probably a good thing for everyone to know, just in case they think role-holding is equivalent to immunity. After all, it would be far too easy if our dear friends only had a few hosts to choose from, you know?

[uncurtained]

...Yeah. Couldn't get that lucky, right?

[There's a small laugh, even though it's a little bit tight.]

When I talk to her, I'll make sure to tell her.

[givethemhell]

Mm, appreciate it!

[Though of course he picks up on that little bit of tension in her laugh, and he gives her a look - curious, but with a bit of worry threaded below the surface.]

...It's unpleasant news to you especially, I'm sure.

[There's a note of apology in his tone. He hopes he didn't just ruin her night!]

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

No, it's... I mean, I kind of figured. [...] A while after I started talking more to one of the hosts, he told me I should stop expecting good news whenever I had to ask him something. So, it makes sense.

[givethemhell]

Haha, what a grim thing to say.

[But also like, not incorrect?? He can't say shit, he'd probably be talking the exact same tune in that host's shoes.]

Still, though... [...] Ah, I didn't mean for this to take this kind of turn. Hardly the kind of discussion you want before resting up for the night!

[uncurtained]

[After a moment:]

No - I should apologize, I didn’t mean to... go there. Let’s change the subject, okay?

[givethemhell]

[Waving his hands!]

No need for an apology! It's fine - that's the kind of place this is, you know? It's important to talk about all of the things that may or may not go wrong. Best prepared than not, you know?

[uncurtained]

Yeah. Just... It’d be nice if we had a second between any of this, you know?

[She breathes put a sigh that shifts into a half hearted laugh, shaking her head.]

Okay, I’m done being a downer.

[givethemhell]

[Yeah that SURE IS... real. He laughs a little himself, shoulders raising.]

Just know that if you do ever want to talk about the things that are less than happy, I'm here to listen, you know? [He wants! To help!!

But for now, he'll let the subject drop, reaching out to tap the back of her hand.]

—Next time I'm out this late, I should bring back a snack, hm?

[uncurtained]

[After a moment:]

It's not too late, you know. I could go for a midnight snack.

[givethemhell]

[He is absolutely perking up a little at that. Food? Food?? He could eat, god, lord knows they've all burned off their share of calories already this week.]

What are you in the mood for?

[uncurtained]

[After a few moments:]

You know what sounds really good right now? Chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven.

[givethemhell]

[There is absolutely a sparkle in his lil demon eye at the mention of fresh cookies...]

Ah! I've never had that kind before, but I had one of the cookies Taako made fresh out of the oven, once. That was wonderful!

[So predictably he's on his feet in a hotass second, turning to hold a hand out toward her.]

Shall we?

[uncurtained]

...Do you want to grab a bottle of something on the way?

[Tipsy baking seems like the only appropriate way for this night to go.]

[givethemhell]

[He's never gonna turn down the opportunity to drink, so:]

Sure! Your pick, alright? Anything you'd like!

[uncurtained]

[With absolutely no hesitation:]

Tequila.

[Sometimes it just be like that. Anyways, with that, she's taking his hand and heading towards the door.]

[givethemhell]

[Sometimes as in every day on the murder sexboat.]

Hah! What a decisive pick. Alright, then - tequila it is!

[They will hold hands on their way to tequila hell, apparently.]

[uncurtained]

[yeets them into the future as they come into the kitchen

She sets the bottle down on the counter as she starts to open it.]

Do you know how to bake at all?

[She's assuming not, but.]

[givethemhell]

[TIPSYYY BAKING AHOY.]

I do! [SHOCKING.] ...Well, a little, anyway. I've watched Taako make things plenty of times! And I helped someone make cookies, once.

[It was Dimitri which is why he doesn't state the name directly... RIP sweet prince.]

Not sure if that knowledge will actually do much good if we're trying to make something that isn't a lumpy mess, though.

[uncurtained]

Well, as long as it's a tasty lumpy mess...

[As she tries to think of what they'll need to make these, she follows her excellent priorities and grabs two shot glasses first.]

[givethemhell]

[Is this not the key ingredient to drunk baking?? He crowds over while she's pouring, clearly excited to start this midnight good choices train.]

Wouldn't know, didn't actually try any of them! They smelled alright, at least? Nowhere near as good as some of the other things people have made, but a snack is a snack.

[uncurtained]

Well, I'll make an effort to make ours not lumpy.

[With a smile, she holds a full shot glass out to him, clinking her glass against his.]

Cheers.

[And then she downs it.]
