Because I keep you humble, [ Kostos says, around the lip of his wine goblet, ] and because if it had been a pairs event, we would have won, [ speaking of humble, ] and because there is an Antivan couple over there— [ a directional nod ] —who want to know what it is like to fuck a mage, and I told them I would let you know.
We absolutely would have won, [ Nell agrees, and it's clear she's about to launch into an unnecessary explanation of exactly how and why and how much before she is distracted. She turns to look at the Antivans and drops her head onto his shoulder with a groan. ]
Do you think they'd wait til tomorrow? You know I'd love to, but they're going to want magic and I have maybe enough energy left to lie there and make appreciative noises until I pass out.
You could tell them that is what it's like, with a mage.
[ He leans his shoulder toward her for a moment, less of a jostle than an accepting answering press—as close as he'll get to putting an arm around someone's shoulders without first having substantially more to drink. ]
I am sure they will be happy to tomorrow, if you can find them.
[ Nell barks a laugh even more surprised than the first. He can enjoy that right next to his ear. She is also going to reach over and steal his wine. ]
You're the worst friend. Next time I'll just set the wyvern on you.
[ Of course she says it like she means exactly the opposite, because she does. ]
You couldn't— [ Kostos says, but you can tell that he also thinks she's the 'worst' by the way he looks straight ahead and slightly up at a spot high on the distant wall while she takes his wine, which he was actually very fond of ] —tell the wyvern to attack me, because it was deaf.
[ He cants his head to look at her (or at her hair and down the slope of her nose, whatever) at that last word, for emphasis. ]

We could make it a pairs event. You could zap me back to life.
[ She's joking, mostly. ]

[ For at least two reasons. The first is the magic. The second— ]
Nell Voss lying back and taking anything must be a once in a decade occurrence. I couldn't ruin it.
