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.]

[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.

[motherfudger]

Bullying the weak is against the bottom line. But too bad for you, you ain't weak.

[lifeban]

[a soft huff of near-laughter.]

I suppose I'm not.

[motherfudger]

[He raises his hand in a fist with one finger extended like a gun facing the ceiling.]

Which makes you.... fair game.

[Wink wonk.

He flicks the brim of the hat up to reveal Dan Heng's face. ]

You done gone sobered up yet?

[lifeban]

[blushing when the hat reveals him, because the rogueish energy is very charming.]

Mmmostly?

[motherfudger]

[Wow, cute.]

Ha, well. If you have trouble sleeping, exercise is one of the best cures, they say.

You ever ridden a horse?

[lifeban]

[??? is boothill going to pull him into a horse racing dream or something, dan heng thinks,]

Not a horse, though I've ridden similar steeds.

[motherfudger]

[The grin that spreads across his face is delighted, all teeth.]

Good, good.

How about a Galaxy Ranger?

[lifeban]

You're the first I've met, what-

[lifeban]

[oh no he IS sobering up. BRIGHT red.]

Subtle.

[this damned handsome charming cowboy,,]

[motherfudger]

[Leaning in.]

Don't know if you noticed, but I'm the straightforward type.

[lifeban]

I had. I had noticed, in fact.

...Strictly speaking, I haven't ridden anyone.

[motherfudger]

Yeah? Somehow that don't surprise me. After all, can't say you've never relaxed if you've ever had a good tiring ride.

[lifeban]

Hm.

[visibly thinking.

stellaron hunters are here, but blade? notably is not. and while he wouldn't bet on boothill beating blade in a fight, with how they met he's willing to bet on boothill being paranoid enough to escape blade, if blade ever caught wind of this somehow.

that being the major obstacle to dan heng getting laid for all these centuries...]

Well. If you're open to me finding out?

1/2

[motherfudger]

[What a good dragon. Honestly not being too worried about a Galaxy Ranger's survival does seem reasonable.

Though Boothill is just a little surprised by the quick acceptance, but not in a bad way?]

[motherfudger]

Well heavens to betsy I wasn't invitin' just to make fun.

[lifeban]

It didn't seem like you, no. But... it's good to be sure.

[motherfudger]

Well fudge...

[Okay well!

Time to yank Dan Heng in and give him a thorough kiss.]

[lifeban]

[!!

kissing back. clumsily! but learning quickly.]

[motherfudger]

[His mouth still tastes like liquor. And he's aggressive and just a bit pushy, pulling Dan Heng in closer casually, absolutely pushing his tongue against his lips, and biting at those lips too, sharp teeth and all.]

[lifeban]

[dan heng startles, parting his lips more in shock than anything-- but then he's biting back, eager, his own teeth sharper than may have been expected.]
