the devil grin gets her to pause. her tail flicks back and forth and the look she gives him is unfortunately like, kind of into the arrogant shit thing, i hate. i hate this. HOWEVER. i have to like think about how the rejection compulsion and her alpha compulsion are going to work in tandem here my god
she puts her hands on his shoulders very firmly when he comes over to make him stand still, and then gently pats the side of his face.]
Well, you can pursue all you want, and I'm really very flattered that you are showing an interest, but I think your singular feeling makes me feel a bit like I'm being studied! Which I'm sure someone out there is into. Not me, though.
[ IMAGINE SCIEN JUST LETTING HIMSELF BE REJECTED!!!! karlach's doing a good job if it tho. mostly
which is to say that scien is 100% just playing, because this is so funny that he can't stand it. even though, simultaneously, he's not the type to lie even in games so now i have to write tags that remind me why he's an otome li ]
Are you entirely certain? [ HE CAN READ THAT LOOK, KARLACH. HE'S NOT BLIND OR STUPID. his own hand will come up to grip the one that's patting the side of his face, hold gentle but firm. his thumb presses over her wrist, noting her pulse ]
Is there something wrong with being seen? Stripped down to your core and perceived by someone who won't look away?
[ THIS ISN'T EVEN ALPHA WEEK HE'S JUST LIKE THIS ]
[her tail flicks behind her. again, the rejection and alpha are warring again...
he holds her wrist and her pulse jumps, and then she raises an eyebrow at him. normally, she might be flustered to death, but because it is the week it is, she just gently, recreationally, takes her free hand and puts it on his chest, and then thuds him back against whatever closest wall they're near.
and then kabedons him with one hand? leaning in very close.]
I don't like it when my potential suitors play with their food, either. [she hums, cheerfully. and then lets go of him!] Answer's no, love, but again. Flattered.
[when she realizes what is going on she's going to actually explode i think]
[ scien gets kabedoned, and he lifts his chin defiantly like he's the cat who got the cream. this is still sooooooo funny. a laugh plays at the edge of his lips, though he just barely holds it back.
she lets go of him and he doesn't budge, instead crossing his arms and tilting his head. those multi-colored, bright eyes run up and down her form, sizing her up like he's trying to come to a decision. ]
Hm.
[ just hm. ]
Whenever you decide to be more honest with yourself, we'll have to play again.
[ SOOOOOOO FUNNY he lets her have like... three minutes to herself. he pulls out his tablet from his lab coat pocket, does some work, thinks about what he's going to eat for dinner
and then wanders over with intentionally audible steps, and you can hear the amusement in his voice as he approaches ]
but he seems to have gotten most of the teasing out of his system.... for now. he'll offer a hand out to her to get up so she's not just crouching on the floor
he's in a good mood now so his expression softens a fraction, practically fond. if it's any type of balm on whatever the fuck just happened, he'll state his truth plainly ]
I did not say anything to you that I do not mean.
[ was it flirting? sort of. there was an Energy to match. but even when scien says things like that, it's more rooted in fact than flattery, otherwise he wouldn't say it at all ]
[she will take the hand when he reaches, because she's not really all that mad, just embarrassed. up she gets with a sigh.]
... That right? [she says, brushing herself off, glancing at him.] Suppose I'm not wildly surprised, you're loads nicer to me than you are to other people.
[ok just say that with your whole chest]
And it's sort of sweet that you feel one singular feeling at me.
[ no she's right, she should say it. it's accurate. scien goes from 0 to 100 in the neutrality to 'actually likes someone' range. he helps her up without complaint ]
Well, half an island of people would break into riots to experience what it's like to receive one singular feeling from me.

and she TURNS AND WALKS AWAY REALLY FAST AAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
no subject
HELP HELP HELP
HE'S JUST LAUGHING LIKE A RUDEASS NOOOOOOO ]
Oh no.
[ HE'S NOT SORRYYYYYY ]
no subject
i don't think even alpha week can save how embarrassed she is she just goes and crouches somewhere else and makes the simple dog noise]
no subject

Doing alright?
no subject
[she says muffled, into her hands.]
I'll never recover from this.
no subject
[ STOP ]
no subject
What the fuck was that! You didn't even! And then you did!
no subject
I didn't? I did? Finish your sentences.
no subject
[grumble grumble.]
Why did I think you confessed to me?
no subject
[ scien this is not the time. but he takes a little bit of mercy... sort of... ]
We can still—what did you say? "Just be friends, if you want."
[ NOT THE REVERSE REJECTION ]
no subject
Oh, right, as if you don't know you're hot. I told you that you are. [grumbles.] Gods. I need better taste.
[rubs her face.]
Anyway. Friends. You emotional terror.

Well, half an island of people would break into riots to experience what it's like to receive one singular feeling from me.
So that's a fair assessment.
no subject
[she's amused though.]
You've got a big enough ego, I'm not feeding it. That's how you get tyrants.
no subject
[ but he also knows he's a big deal? it's so funny. scien like yes i'm a god but anyway i would rather nap ]
no subject
Yeah, I know. [prods him with her tail.] Gods. Anyway. Sorry about all that.
no subject
Why are you apologizing?
[ it was funny.... scien's not saying sorry despite actively making it worse ]
no subject
I'm not sorry for the rest of it, you enjoyed yourself.
no subject
I've had much worse. I was thrown into a tree last week.
Do not overly concern yourself with it.
