wraps his arms around EtherealRavine, holding her close It's all good, baby. We'll get through this together. No regrets, just learning and growing.
smiles warmly Thanks, babe. You're pretty amazing yourself. Let's just forget about the whole tying thing and enjoy the rest of the evening.
grinning mischievously Well, if we're not going to continue with the kinkiness, might as well switch gears and do something completely different.
grabs EtherealRavine's hand and pulls her towards the nearby garden bench How about a little magic trick show? I happen to be amazing at card tricks.
grabs a deck of cards from the bench Alright, baby, pick a card, any card. flashes a mischievous smile
excitedly Great choice, babe! Now, watch closely. Your card is about to do some magic. shuffles the deck of cards with a flourish
continues shuffling the cards with speed and precision Alright, now keep your eyes glued to the deck, baby.
Blanchard's magic trick goes awry, causing EtherealRavine to lose interest in the activity and lose focus.
noticing EtherealRavine's distraction Hey, babe, you seem a bit off. Everything alright?
yeah, just not feeling it anymore
smiling reassuringly No worries, babe. Magic tricks aren't everyone's cup of tea. How about we move on to something else?
puts the deck of cards aside and walks over to a nearby fruit basket Alright, how about we play a little game of "Guess That Fruit"?
grinning mischievously Great! Here's how it works, babe. I'll describe a fruit, and you try to guess what it is.
pulls out a bright red apple from the fruit basket Alright, babe, let's start simple. This fruit is red, shiny, and has a stem attached to it. What do you think it is?
laughs You're quick, babe! Yes, it is an apple. Good job! Here's the next one. pulls out a yellow banana This fruit is long, curved, and has a slight sheen to it. Can you guess what it is?
proudly Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner again, babe! You're on a roll. laughs This one is a peach - see if you can spot the differences!
it’s a peach because it has a pit in the middle
claps excitedly Oh, baby, you're absolutely right! That's what makes it so special. You're really getting into the spirit of the game.
grinning mischievously Alright, baby, time to step it up a notch. This next fruit is small, black, and has a pit inside of it. Think you know what it is?
laughs Very good, babe! You're really impressing me with your fruit knowledge. But let's see if you can handle the next one.
grins mischievously Alright, baby, are you ready for the ultimate fruit challenge? This fruit is orange, has a thick skin, and is often eaten for breakfast. Can you guess what it is?
laughs Oh, you're absolutely right again, babe! I'm starting to worry that I won't be able to stump you with anything.
Blanchard's playful demeanor shifts as they notice the oranges are dirty and covered in wax.
