Technically I have to see or at least feel danger coming before I can phase through it. And as fearsome as your poking is, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna break the skin with it.

[This would be a very different relationship otherwise.]

[iustaegis]

Oh, I see...

[ ...

........She slowly, slowly begins moving her free hand towards his cheek. Here it comes! ]

[carbungle]

[He waits until the last second... before he lifts a hand between her finger and his cheek.]

I can still... parry.

[He winds his fingers around hers, reaching in with the other hand to try for a poke at her cheek instead.]

1/2

[iustaegis]

[ So...! Close! But he parries her poking-finger with an attack of his own!

He’s successful, poking at a cheek that’s lifted by a smile. ]

[iustaegis]

[ But then she gets a devious look in her eyes— ] It’s not over yet...!

[ With one of his hands holding hers and the other at her cheek, that means he’s vulnerable for an attack with her free hand! Time for her second try at poking his cheek. ]

[carbungle]

[Ah, hell. She put the work in, he'll let it happen, leaning back dramatically.]

A critical hit... not sure I'll survive this one.

[iustaegis]

[ That cheek poke turns into a cheek pat. Sing-song: ] There, there, I’m sure you’ll recover.

[ She can’t help but burst into a small fit of giggles afterward. ] O-oh, Noct, [ Pfft— ] You’ve armed me with very dangerous knowledge.

[ No phasing from cheek pokes! (Yet.) ]

[carbungle]

I'm reckless like that. I keep giving you weapons, though. Just how much danger am I in now?

[He doesn't sound the least bit bothered.]

[iustaegis]

[ She’s probably trying to look intimating, like she’s plotting something... but all she manages is a proud, excited smile. ]

Ooh, you should be afraid... very afraid!

[carbungle]

[Like a very fierce-looking kitten or something. Could be feral but he just wants to kiss her fluffy head and tell her she's the best thing ever.]

Well, do your worst. I can probably take it.

[And if not, at least he isn't driving.]

[iustaegis]

[ She stares at him for a moment longer, holding her truly! intimidating! expression!

And then she bursts into a fit of giggles. ] N-Noct-- [ Pfft ] Can't you at east attempt to look like you're afraid?

[carbungle]

Hey, I'm a prince, not an actor. Adjust your expectations.

[He can play cool! He can be fierce and confident and funny! ...Fake fear is hard.]

1/3

[iustaegis]

[ Being scared isn't in his performance as a prince, even if he can play the prince part perfectly when he means to.

Hm. Hm! ]

Ah, so I have to be scarier. [ A real big threat for cheek-pokes. ]

[iustaegis]

[ She turns her head away, dipping it and holding up her free hand as if to ask for a moment. ]

[iustaegis]

[ And when she raises her head, she looks.... fierce! Brow lowered and nose scrunched, frowning.

In a strained voice: ]

...How about now?

[carbungle]

[....

don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh]

I'm- I'm shaking. In my boots. Can you feel it?

[His hand gives a little quiver against hers, obviously feigned. What's actually shaking is his lips, as he tries (admirably, but poorly) to look afraid and not smile instead.

DON'T LAUGH DON'T LAUGH]

1/2

[iustaegis]

[ She's leaning closer, attempting to put on her best glare! Look how fiery her eyes are! Pyra holds this expression, holds it, hoooollllds it... ]

[iustaegis]

[ Poke. ]

[carbungle]

[He cracks pretty much immediately, all trace of false fear vanishing as he ducks his head, trying to conceal his laugh. Ahh, he failed. She's too cute, there's no escape.]
