cowboy crosstalk shenanigans

[lifeban]

[they've won! good job everyone! 10/10 performance! dan heng didn't even blow his once-in-a-lifetime bootycall button this time around, thanks to boothill's quick interference.

there was celebrating on the Express, but one way or another, the party wound up in the VIP lounge of the hotel again, where dan heng accidentally took a swig of boothill's drink and became Fantastically Drunk.

in fact, at this moment he's sulkily leaning into boothill's side, all his aloof and cool energy utterly abandoned.]

[peers... from under hat.]

What time is it?

[motherfudger]

Still the middle of the night. Or... whatever.

[lifeban]

[tipping the hat back down, but trying to sit up.]

Thank you for keeping watch.

[motherfudger]

[Just casually tightens an arm around his waist, which is made of steel. Very immovable.]

Where do you think you're going? Watch shift ain't changed.

[lifeban]

Hgck.

[back down he goes?!

dan heng do not think about how hot that was. thanks.]

...I need water.

[motherfudger]

[Now the hat hides a lot but it doesn't hide that small noise?

But he suspects if he lets Dan Heng up he'll lose him but that's easy, he just stands up with him in his arms.]

Sure thing partner.

[lifeban]

[????!?!?!?!

at this moment, dan heng is grateful the hat is hiding his sudden, explosive blush.]

I can walk!

[motherfudger]

Yeah? Good for you.

[Wandering over to, there's probably a sink or something right, well he'll scrounge for water while casually holding Dan Heng in one arm.]

[lifeban]

[STOP BEING SO ATTRACTIVELY STRONG, FUCK,]

Boothill...

[motherfudger]

[Absolutely not. He lifts the glass he manages to pour to Dan Heng's lips.]

Yeah?

[lifeban]

Why are you-?

[oop water drinking time, cannot speak and sip.]

[motherfudger]

Why am I what? So handsome? Couldn't tell you myself.

[lifeban]

[pouts under the hat at him]

[motherfudger]

Haha!

[He'll carry Dan Heng and the water back to the couch.]

[lifeban]

Why are you putting in so much effort?

[motherfudger]

[Good question. Why is he? Not like Dan Heng is his responsibility.

Sure the Nameless are universally famous as being a whole bunch of meddlesome do-gooders, and that kind of path makes them just as trustworthy, and the kind of folks worth helping. But that doesn't mean he has to go out of his way for any of them. But then again, it's not obligation in the first place.]

I reckon the answer's not as complicated as you think. I just want to.

[lifeban]

...Mm. I believe you. People are like that.

[motherfudger]

Guess that's the sort of thing you Nameless are known for after all.

I do things my own way. But it don't sit right to watch people like you strugglin'.

[lifeban]

...Was it that bad?

[motherfudger]

Don't you mean "is"? Not like you've gone and changed in the span of a nap.

[lifeban]

[the callout is accurate and brutal]

...

[motherfudger]

Well the answer's a yes anyway.

[lifeban]

I'm going back to sleep.

[motherfudger]

Hahaha, the truth too rough, partner?

[lifeban]

It's bad manners to bully someone when they're under the weather.
