[ Something else to talk about, good. He'll tease her and pretend he doesn't feel any kind of relief about that, and it'll be fine. Normal. Everything's fine. ]
Damn. Had a speech planned and everything.

Nah, I--
[ didn't feel like this. A little blip of something he wouldn't want to call anxiety (but which maybe is), and he shrugs like nothing's ever been wrong in his life. ]
I wanna keep getting discounts at the bar here, right?

Maybe. [ He lets his hand be tugged. There's amusement coming through it, a warmth that doesn't really balance out everything else--but it's there, at least. ] Sometime I get whiskey outta the deal.
Oh, you're fishing for compliments, is that it?
Hm. You're the...hold on. Do I get one, too?
Hey, you're making the rules here.
[ he's not going to judge!!! ]
You're funny.
[ he's not going to judge!!! ]
You're funny.
You didn't say I had to stretch for it.
[ Does he tug lightly on a lock of her hair? Maybe. ]

Pretty smart? Damning with faint praise, there, Kyna.
[ He huffs a little, like it isn't good enough, but also he's grinning, so. You know. Whatever. ]
You feel a little better? Or you need your ego stroked a little more?

That's something, right?
[ A lot better's definitely something. And just having someone to hold onto is...well, that's something, too. He's not trying to think too hard about it, how it smooths things out a little. Besides the danger of transmitting every feeling he might have about being close to Kyna, it doesn't really pay to analyze something like this. Just enjoy it while it's there. ]
Y'know, you might be the prettiest girl I've ever seen.
[ He says it about as seriously as he did You're funny, which is to say, with all the attitude of all right, here's a compliment on demand. So it's fine. Not serious. Normal. Friend behavior. ]

Sappy? Please.
