['Mildly scandalised amusement' is about what he's going for and he's feeling bold enough to lean in for a quick kiss.]

I also might've pretended to be into fucking teddy bears to win a bet. It was an uh, interesting couple of days but you know, I totally won and got a vibrator out of the deal.

[He absolutely lied and cheated but this is a fun, harmless story that he figures Kravitz will get a kick out of it.]

[rapsheet]

[ There's a brief moment where Kravitz tilts his chin up slightly as they part again, almost chasing him - but it's a small gesture, covered quickly with a playful approximation of disappointment at the new 'revelation'. ]

You mean you aren't?

[ He breathes a huff of consternation out of his nose, and purses his lips that nonetheless are curled at the edges with the effort not to grin. ]

Well, obviously that changes everything...

[spellslots]

[That little movement doesn't escape his notice, Taako just decides not to make a fuss about it.]

If that's the worst you've got for me I think I can handle it.

[It was pretty weird but hey, he can pretend to be open to if it'll make Kravitz happy.]

I mean, shit, Loki says he won't fuck me unless I turn into a horse, that's kinda up there

[rapsheet]

A... a horse.

[ Okay, that's some genuine bewilderment. And because he knows for a fact that that's something Taako can do... ]

... You're not considering it, are you?

[spellslots]

[That response startles a little laugh out of Taako.]

I'll use alter self for kinky shit but polymorph is taking it too far.

[rapsheet]

[ And now there's a completely different reason why Kravitz is making a concerted effort not to picture things. Or to ask what exactly Taako could possibly want to use alter self for. ]

I suppose that's something.

[ He laughs again, still slightly incredulous. ]

I can't say I would have thought of either...

[spellslots]

[It's not the original distraction tactic he'd been planning for, but if it works...]

What, you've never wanted to shake things up a little?

[There's all sorts of applications.]

[rapsheet]

[ The look on his face makes it more than clear that no, honestly, he hasn't ever really had that issue. Though far from balking at the idea (at least so long as polymorph really does stay firmly in the 'no thank you' category), he's mostly just... oblivious, maybe. ]

Another thing I'm likely to regret asking, but - how?

[spellslots]

[He nearly makes a joke about not ruining the surprise before he remembers that - no, there's no ruining any surprises here. Luckily Taako is good at not letting his thoughts falter him too badly.

Instead, he grins.]

Dicks are all well and good, trust me, I'm a big fan but there are other configurations if you're into that kinda thing.

[Taako is A Dude but he also has a lazy sort of attachment to gender, enough that he's comfortable trying slightly different things on occasion.]

[rapsheet]

[ Oh. Well. Kravitz makes a little huh sound, the universal signal of 'I probably should have thought of that'. ]

For a man who was so enthusiastic about tentacles the first time we met, that's a surprisingly tame answer.

[ He's not complaining or anything, it's just difficult not to go to outlandish places sometimes when dealing with Taako. ]

[spellslots]

Pretty sure you</> were the one that was enthusiastic about tentacles.

[It feels important to point that out, even if Taako was the one who brought up the term tentacle porn.]

Anyway, you don't lead with the hard kinks, that's like 101.

[Not that he has a lot of hard kinks, but that's beside the point.]

[rapsheet]

Of course.

[ He makes a vague alright, if that's how you want to remember it sort of gesture. ]

It's reassuring at least that that still counts as 'hard' for you.

[ This line in the sand is much closer to comfortable than polymorphing into a horse, for example. Kravitz is aware that he isn't the most well-travelled on this particular subject, but even so... ]

noooo my html

[spellslots]

[In a playful sort of gesture, Taako places a hand on Kravtiz's cheek, as if to import the seriousness of what he's about to say.]

I have seen some fucked up shit, my fella, tentacles are way more tame than I would've thought.

[Kink expo.]

[rapsheet]

[ ... ]

... I don't want to know, do I.

[ And yet, curse the Grim Reaper for his morbid curiosity. ]

[spellslots]

There are some mysteries that should be left as mysteries.

[Taako is happy to torment Kravitz a little bit, but he'll keep some things to himself to spare the terrible pain.]

Don't think I haven't noticed that I'm the only one sharing here.

[rapsheet]

[ Well, Kravitz supposes he was never going to get away with it forever. ]

I've never been to a 'kink expo', if that's what you mean.

[ It obviously isn't, but in all honesty he just has less - apparently a lot less - to share in general. ]

[spellslots]

That is absolutely not what I meant and we both know it, you're not smooth.

[He might not know Kravitz as well as the Taako in Fearun does, but he's still easy to read.]

[rapsheet]

[ Never could get one up on Taako. Still, it was worth a try. (It probably wasn't even worth that, but let's pretend.) ]

Alright, alright - what do you want to know? I warn you, though, there really isn't anything particularly interesting.

[ As far as he's concerned, he's actually pretty boring as people go... ]

[spellslots]

I don't really go for boring people, darling, so I doubt you're not interesting.

[That's partly a reassuring and partly the truth; genuinely wanting to know more about someone and being interested in learning about them is a good litmus test for Taako when it comes to whether he's really into them or just dealing with a physical attraction sort of thing.]

Anyway I think we were trading secrets somewhere along the way. You got any juicy goss?

[He's leaving it open enough that Kravitz doesn't have to keep talking about kink things if he'd rather not.]

[rapsheet]

[ That is definitely appreciated - the only problem is that the only other things Kravitz can think of off the top of his head that might be interesting are... well, more downbeat than he'd like to be right now. There aren't that many high points in the day to day life of a reaper.

Well, there are more of them now, he supposes. Now that he no longer works strictly alone. But anecdotes about his sister and her de-facto husband aren't what Taako asked for. And really, when else is this situation going to arrange itself? When he can just say things, take it out of his own hands in a sense. It's almost fun. Gives the words 'this is a problem for future me' a whole new meaning. ]

You, ah. You left me a message once, on my stone - I was working, and you wanted to invite me over afterwards? I don't think you noticed, otherwise I think you would have done it much more since then, but um... you... you called me pretty bird at the end, just sort of out of nowhere. And I don't think I've ever rounded off a job quite so fast as I did when I listened back to that?

[ Gods, what can he do but laugh, if nothing else just about how ridiculous that is. He shakes his head at it, hiding his flushed face in one hand, eyes screwed shut against the entire idea of making eye-contact right now. ]

I did tell you there wasn't anything interesting...

[spellslots]

[It's almost a shame that Kravitz has his eyes closed, it means he misses Taako's utterly delighted smile.]

Gonna argue you on that one cause it's definitely interesting. I mean, it's fucking adorable, holy shit.

[Now he really hopes that the real Kravtiz shows up here so that he can use this fact against him, though he has the sense not to say that out loud.

Instead, he gently curls his fingers around Kravtiz's wrist, to tug that hand away from hiding his handsome face.]

Lemme look at you, pretty bird.

[rapsheet]

[ Of course. Of course it is the very first thing out of his mouth. Kravitz isn't sure how he ever thought it might not be, in retrospect.

Still flushed dark pink, he nonetheless lets Taako move his hand from his face, and glances up to achieve eye contact for an impressive half a second before his eyes flit bashfully away. ]

I knew I shouldn't have told you that...

[spellslots]

[Honestly that's even cuter. Taako might actually die from how cute it is.]

You absolutely shouldn't have but I'm glad ya did, cause now I've got some serious ammunition. I do have to say, didn't think something that simple would get to you, I mean - you know you're like crazy handsome right?

[Pretty is low on the scale of words that could be used to describe Kravtiz's looks.]

[rapsheet]

So you've said...

[ Not that he doesn't believe it or anything - he does have at least that level of basic awareness, and he does still very much pride himself on his general aesthetic. (There's a joke about preening in here, but if he's honest that really wouldn't be entirely a joke, so nevermind.) Still, just coming out and admitting to being aware of how attractive you are isn't a look everyone can pull off quite as easily as Taako can. ]

I have to ask, then - what would you think would do it?

[spellslots]

You're putting me on the spot here, bubbale.

[Which is obviously a terrible crime and he buys himself a little moment to think by lightly tracing a finger along Kravtiz's jaw. There's something selfish in this, he thinks, the way he wants to remember everything about this moment when Kravitz won't be able to. He just wants something to hold onto.]

I guess I kinda thought it'd be something big, you know? Like, uh, the L-word.
