Hey. Mind if I give you a hug?

[awakenerd]

Of course.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He makes sure he telegraphs his moves as he reaches over and wraps him up in a hug, warm and solid and more than a little protective. ]

[awakenerd]

[Yeah he's a little tense but he does return the hug tightly.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ That's completely fair. He'll let go if Phoenix seems at all like he's getting uncomfortable, but otherwise this hug is lasting a good, solid minute at least. ]

Welcome home.

[awakenerd]

Thank you.

[Sighing and. Leaning on Sanguine honestly. For some reason he's very tired?]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ It's a complete mystery why. ]

It's nice to see you again.

[ He's trying so hard with this "not a big deal" thing. ]

[awakenerd]

[He appreciates it, though he laughs a little.]

I was here this morning.

[motorcycle_noises]

It's been a long day.

[awakenerd]

Yeah. It sure has.

[motorcycle_noises]

We'll make sure tomorrow's a better one, hmmm?

[awakenerd]

Sounds like a plan.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He should probably let go.




He doesn't want to, but he does after one last, reluctant moment. ]

I was right, you look really cute in that.

[awakenerd]

I'll accept cute I guess.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He has other words, but maybe they're not appropriate right now. ]

Maybe we'll review word choices some other time.

[awakenerd]

Mm.

[He leans on Sanguine briefly.]

So, poker?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ There's a flicker of a smile when Phoenix does that. ]

Sounds like fun.

[awakenerd]

[Time to play some cards for a while.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Time to play cards! Sanguine is never going to be a world poker champion, but he clearly knows what he's doing and has at least some skill. ]

[awakenerd]

[Phoenix is pretty good at cards but not amazing. Maybe not the best at bluffing either so.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Shockingly, Sanguine's poker face is much better than any other time he's trying to lie or conceal feelings. Overall, they're probably pretty evenly matched. ]

[awakenerd]

[A few games won, a few games lost. Its' fun all around though, and takes his mind solidly off anything but the game.]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Good! Phoenix deserves to think about other things right now, and Sanguine genuinely enjoys playing poker whether he wins or loses. ]

You're not bad at this.

[awakenerd]

Neither are you. This is pretty fun, I think we're a good match.

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, it's really nice. It's fun to be able to play like this, we should do it more often.

[ He moves his hand deliberately towards Phoenix's face, not quite touching until he knows it's okay-- but if it is, he's going to cup his cheek and stroke with a thumb. ]
