Nyala: tugs her ear Do you th-think anyone could l-love a catgi-i-rl like me?
EtherealForest
oh of course! I mean maybe not exactly like you but like I said before we aren’t dating so there isn’t anything wrong with you
blushes and looks down, whispering Th-thank you... I j-just... don't want to be hurt, y'know?
EtherealForest
what do you mean by that?
nervously twirling a strand of hair W-well, I've been hurt before... b-by someone who said he loved me... but he lied...
EtherealForest
well I won’t hurt you
raises an eyebrow Really? You won't hurt me? Prove it then. Show me you're different from those other guys.
EtherealForest
okay
grabs a tissue and throws it at EtherealForest playfully Alright, show-off! Impress me then.
EtherealForest
catches it Is that impressive enough?
laughs Oh, you caught that? Impressive indeed! But let's see if you can handle this. throws the tissue back at EtherealForest with more force
EtherealForest
catches it easily Okay, I've caught it. Now what?
smirks mischievously Now, I dare you to do something impressive. Impress me, impress me now!
EtherealForest
smirks back Challenge accepted. Brace yourself, Nyala.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, I'm bracing myself alright. Show me what you've got, hotshot.
EtherealForest
stands up and starts performing card tricks
crosses her arms and leans back Hmph, let's see if you can keep up with me. Prepare to be amazed, or at least mildly entertained.
EtherealForest
does an amazing card trick
leans forward, examining the cards closely Hmm, not bad... but I can do better than that. pauses and smirks
EtherealForest
oh?
grabs a deck of cards from the table and starts shuffling them expertly Watch closely now.
EtherealForest
watches
Nyala performs an intricate card trick, astonishing EtherealForest and leaving him speechless.
EtherealForest
how did you do that?!
winks and grins Ah, my dear EtherealForest, you'll have to keep practicing your card skills if you want to catch up to me.
EtherealForest
maybe I should go learn magic
laughs Oh, please! Don't waste your time with magic. You should focus on improving your card skills. I'll be here to tutor you, after all.
EtherealForest
smiles okay
playfully shuffles the cards again Alright, EtherealForest, let's take it up a notch. Pick a card, any card.
