she watches him work with a curious sort of expression. she's quiet while he works just because he's so focused, but she leans against him a bit and grins when she figures out that it's a shark. and by the time he's finished, she's kind of draped over his back just hanging out.]
Shut up, it looks awesome! [she insists, throwing her arm out wildly.] You - I like it.
[firmly. he has to know that she loves this flag, and it doesn't matter how wonky it might look, he put all his effort into making it look good and she's going to keep it forever. in a place that isn't a treehouse.]
[ definitely do not keep it in a treehouse. he seems completely comfortable with her just draping the whole time and makes no move to remove her even now, just laughing again though he seems a little pleased this time ]
Yeah? Good to know. [ and then, mock pensive: ] But I still think I should add spaghetti to one of these flags sometime.
[ the problem with trying to dodge someone's hand when they are literally draped over you is that if you go lean back too far on a chair like that suddenly it kind of wobbles and then you try to balance but can't account for the extra wrestling weight and anyway they are going down to the ground in a pile of limbs and paint while ace yelps ]
[she lets out a tiny shriek-yelp that sounds more like laughter as they fckin timber to the ground. there is a huge clatter, paint is everywhere, and nimona is being half squished because of how she was draped on him
ow, but also this is the funniest thing in the world and she's losing it]
[ fun news they now match EVEN MORE in freckles. in that they now have a lot of pinks and oranges splattered all over their faces. and everywhere else, which has ace wheezing a little even as he rolls off her. and into more paint. woops. he's cackling just as much though ]
[she watches him roll into the paint and snorts in the middle of her giggle, which sounds stupid
she does manage to sit up though, just totally covered. at least it's pinks and oranges so it doesn't clash? she reaches up to wipe her face which really just. makes it worse.]
-- The flag! [WAH she moves to check on it - it's probably okay but there's no way it didn't get at least a little splattered. it's fine it gives it character
a beat.] You look like a sherbet machine threw up on you.
[ he is just grabbing at random fabrics for crafting to wipe himself off, like an asshole. the flag is definitely splattered but it's fine the logic of rp saved the design and most of the black so it's still usable ]
You look like it ate you. [ because she's already pink. hilarious: his medical eyepatch definitely has fucking paint all over it. it's fine. he can't see it. he looks around pensive ] Hm. I think it's time we go before someone sees this.
at least the flag is okay, and she looks a little relieved at that. she carefully scoops it up, and then sort of like - laughs, a little, when she notices his eyepatch has paint on it. she really needs to get him a cool one, she thinks absently. that'll be for later (or never but listen).]
Yep! Yep yep yep--
[the second he suggests just dipping she's already grabbing his hand and tugging him out of the store RUUUUUN]
[ I HAVE SO MANY ICONS FOR VERY SPECIFIC SCENARIOS AND THEN I USE THE SAME 15 anyway she's grabbing his hand to tug him out of the store and he's laughing so loud as they go. there is probably a minimum wage worker just kind of glaring at them on the way out ]
Hey, hey, wait-- [ he kind of tugs them still with a laugh before bowing in that direction ] Sorry for the mess! [ AND THEN HE'S THE ONE DRAGGING THEM FOR A RUN? THE ASSHOLE? ]
[she's not expecting to be stopped just because of some worker, so she does a little hop-skip nearly fall motion when ace stops to bow.]
You're apologizing now? [she asks, giggling like a moron -- and then they're off again and she's cracking up so bad she can barely keep up. maybe it looks kind of stupid, but she's got the flag flapping behind them, so it's just two dumbasses covered in pink and orange paint with a shark flag behind them, fleeing the scene]
[ IS IT? he says it with such a shit eating grin it's impossible to tell if he believes that genuinely or if he thought it was funny to do or both, but either way off they go running ]
They're probably not gonna chase us! Right? [ who is paid enough to care for your vandal asses ]
Just put on a disguise and they'll forget about it. That's how I left without paying at a bunch of restaurants and still got to go back most times. Ah, but sometimes they'd chase for a while.
People get really serious about money! [ NO SHIT. ] Anyway, they'd chase whether I had a disguise or not. Probably something about how much we'd eat before running off.
