[Yuya just kind of sits back again, feeling a little settled that the way Gongenzaka heals others won't be that intimate. You won't catch him admitting to slight jealously, though.

Yuya stretches his fingers.] It's like a massage~.

[betheman]

Mnh? Is it? [He asks, pausing briefly to answer. He clearly doesn't have to disappear into focus as much, for this part.] So it is pleasant then?

[hippocarnival]

Yeah. [He pauses, fluttering his eyes open.] I mean--the other thing wasn't unpleasant either! But I think anyone else would be okay being healed this way.

[betheman]

Auh-

As long as it is not invasive... [He mutters, grimacing somewhat. That...seems to be the key here now after all.]

[hippocarnival]

[This is a hard moment to navigate between them, Yuya thinks. He wants to assure Gongenzaka, of course, but... he doesn't know how. Would it calm the mood if he joked about it, is it better to put some distance between them now, or... let things be closer. Are they ready for closer (whatever closer even means)?! Is that even in Gongenzaka's head at all or is Yuya just going to embarrass himself, make things uncomfortable for perceiving intimacy in it?

Yuya looks aside shyly, absently picking at his cape.] No, not for healing someone.

[betheman]

[It's a tough call to make- on either end, truly. But for the purposes of the conversation now at least, it's something they can focus on and stick with. Maybe it would be better to truly think about later- about after, when the Ringmaster is saved and...hopefully things go back to normal.

Hopefully.

So-] Phew.... ...that is a relief then, [he replies honestly.] Not to say that I, the man Gongenzaka, wish to need to heal anyone...but I would rather not make anyone uncomfortable doing so..!

[hippocarnival]

[Or maybe Yuya could be a little shit.

He pushes himself to sit up, shaking his head.] We're going to need it anyway, but... no, it isn't uncomfortable.

[He smiles crookedly, slightly teasing.] You just weren't very shy about running your soul through me, were you?

[betheman]

Aah, that is my thinking, so-

[He trails off, and proceeds to immediately sputter.] TH- That..!!

I, the man Gongenzaka, did not realize it would feel that way, Yuuya..!! [He croaks, face beet red.]

[hippocarnival]

But you knew what you were doing, right? And then I told you... [He moves to stand up this time, casually dusting grass off himself.] So maybe you just enjoyed it?

[betheman]

[The sputtering continues.] TH- THAT-

Wh-whether I enjoyed it or otherwise, that should not-

It shall not be something I, the man Gongenzaka, repeat without your permission, after all..!! [He's getting lost in his own words a bit, here.]

[hippocarnival]

And if I gave you permission? [Yuya's getting lost with his thoughts, and what was just supposed to be some gentle teasing to test the mood between them is getting a little away from him now.

He leans in, though it doesn't do much to close the distance between them.] Like now?

[betheman]

A-AUH....AUH...

Goodness Yuuya, stop teasing us like this..!! [Yelps the daemon at the side, no doubt forgotten in all of this. It's enough to give Gongenzaka himself a bit of a boost though, and the other one coughs.]

W-We are still working with kisses, are we not..!? I-

Th-Though if you truly wish for it, I could....auh...

[YUUYA YOU ARE GOING TOO FAR.............]

[hippocarnival]

[Well. That confirms that the intimacy wasn't all in Yuya's head.

Marishi is a little forgotten, sorry, as Yuya's whole brain screeches to a stop and he's frozen, wide-eyed at Gon with his face deeply flushed.]

I... uh, I--[He shakes himself back to awareness, looking away and he rubs the back of his neck.] W-well I'm not really in a rush to... just--since it already happened, that was... nice.

[Why did he throw them in this hole.]

[betheman]

W...Th...As long as it was nice, I suppose...! Auhh...

[Still half frozen on the spot, Marishi again fills the blanks.] Perhaps you two could try something like that later..? Another day..? [She laments, her partner still beet red but latching onto the idea quickly.]

Mnh! Y...yes... ...If it is something you wish to...try again...? [He offers, only now able to look at Yuuya's face again.]

[hippocarnival]

Yeah! Another day. [Yuya presses his hand to his cheek, his gaze still averted as he flusters.] I mean, if you want to. Just when you want to!

[betheman]

O-Of course..!!

[GOD....] Auh...

....Sh...should....we perhaps have something to eat? Maybe? [Practicing magic seems like it's going to make this worse now.]

[hippocarnival]

Food sounds good. [Can he save himself by latching onto this topic change? This is just embarrassing both of them, isn't he, why can't he keep his mouth shut.] In the city, right?

[betheman]

Mn- Auh! [Gon stands, nodding rapidly.] Yes! Let us go, hm? [Maybe some tea can cool them off.]

[hippocarnival]

Yeah! Yeah. [Yuya shakes his head, drawing his hand back and looking between Gongenzaka and Marishi both. He briefly regards how they're looking at him before turning to lead the way back to the city.]

i think we can wrap here ahaha

[betheman]

[They look mostly embarrassed, though they're definitely doing the same awkward look back at Yuuya to see how He is doing. By the time they get to some food they'll be a lot more relaxed and back to themselves though. ...Which is good.]
