[ shifts a bit beneath the sand. whelp.
guess she's trapped now. ]

[ her tail flits back and forth a bit anxiously. ]

I'm okay, King, really. But thanks for coming out.

Even if you're fine [ which she transparently IS NOT ], I came because I want to be with you. That's all.

... [ and that earns a small smile. ] thanks, King.

[ gently does a bap with her tail. ]

I only have one Queen.

... No offense to the cat, of course.

[ Now don't mind him as he brushes some of this sand out of the way so she can warm up properly. ]

...heh. She's not around to hear you say it, so no harm no foul.

[ once he's brushed some of the sand off of her she sits up and moves alongside him, taking a seat, proper, and leaning into him. shuts her eyes and sighs, coiling her tail around herself and shivering. ]

I think she'd forget about it after a few treats and ear scratches.

[ The wing closest to her unfolds and presses against her back, his arm going around her waist to drag her in. ]

[ manages a bit of a laugh. ]

I think you're right. Better have some ready when you go back to HSS.

[ she's more than happy to get dragged in. he's definitely nice, warm, and welcoming, so she snuggles as closely as humanly possible. ]

You sure I wasn't interrupting anything?

Why do you assume that?

[ ... ]

I was beating my own high score in that rockets-and-aliens game for the hundredth time.

[ So. Yeah. ]

I was just asking...

[ looks back to the water. ]

...

Hey.

[ Reaching out to tug on a strand of her hair, gently. SURELY that should have earned a comment about knocking out his score, or "get gud", or something?? ]

What happened? You know I'll listen if you want to talk.

[ looks at him, tilting her head. she doesn't make a comment about the scores. the thought doesn't even cross her mind. she's not feeling particularly playful right now. ]

[ shakes her head. ] ...thanks for the offer, but your company is plenty, King. I'm just here to clear my head and stuff. [ she's trying not to let her emotions get the best of her, basically. ]

Okay.

[ He accepts that answer easily enough, tilting his hand to run his fingers through that hair instead. ]

... Maybe I should have brought a blanket instead of alcohol.

A blanket would have been nice, but doesn’t drinking enough alcohol make you warm or something too, ..? Like temporarily?

[ He uses his free hand to reach for the bottle. ]

... I'm not sure if it makes you warm or makes you think you're warm.

Either is good at this point, yeah?

[ gives him a lopsided smile. ]

[ He takes that as his cue to pop open the bottle. ]

Shall we, then?

[ she holds her hand out for the bottle. ]

May I?

[ Placing it in her hand. ]

You may.

[ takes the bottle and brings it to her lips, sitting back and takes a few healthy sized gulps. falls backward, but lifts the bottle up to keep from spilling any. ]

[ He plucks the bottle out of her hand as she holds it up, peering down at her. ]

Hopefully it takes the edge off the cold soon.

[ she lifts her hand up and gives him a thumbs up. ]

Here's to hoping.

[ looks over at him. ] Are you going to have any?

Do you want me to?

I got it for you.

You can have a sip, sure.

Bet it's boring just to watch me drink, ...

Unless. [ sits up and grabs his front, tugging him down for a kiss. ]

Unle--?

[ Oh.

Well okay, he goes along with that easily. ]

How's that taste?

[ said against his lips, her free hand framing his face and then dropping to his shoulder. ]

Not sure you're going to get drunk off'a me though.
