[ she just... puts it down. on the bridge. ] It's, uh - it's supposed to be destroyed. You don't like, want it. Right? You aren't feeling like you want to put it on?
I think that's okay. We can all take a day off, can't we? [putting the gauntlet down, he leans back on his hands to look at the water.] But think about it this way. If you got something like this, doesn't that mean the others from Wolf's team did, too?
Yep. [ she leans next to him. she kicks the gauntlet a bit away from them out of spite. ]
I also got some glow bracelets, stickers, and other garbage - actually. I have a suspicion Cater was Wolf team, since she had a fanny pack. That was something I got last week.
[please ignore the way he immediately looks curious at the word "stickers" but he tilts his head again even while he leans against her, too.]
Yeah? I wonder...maybe that'll help us start narrowing down teams if we can't just ask everybody. Too bad we have no way of knowing what Sharon's team was.
[ haha cool it's the last time they cuddle for a week
actually, she'll reach into her robes and pull out the stickers. they're gold stars, cute animals, and castles. she sticks one of the gold stars on sora's nose. ]
I don't know how to uh, bring up the gift stuff without immediately giving myself away. You know?
[upsetti. but they don't know that so instead he's comfortable and goes kinda cross-eyed trying to see this sticker.]
Yeah. Maybe it's one of those things where we just have to suggest it. It's not that weird to think people with top ranks are getting rewards, right? The other Wolves would just have to be careful but...I dunno. It's no different than people getting stuff for doing those tasks to collect the nova.
[ she sticks another one on his cheek because it's funny. ]
Guess that's true. I can always be like oh, I heard from a friend of a friend! Play some telephone, as it were. [ ... ] I don't know if the teams in second or third place get anything either! So who knows.
[he allows this either because he has a very high level of tolerance for shenanigans or he actually likes it, take your pick.]
Couldn't tell you. We're pretty close to being last. But everybody knows that we all came here with only a couple of things. If people are collecting more things they didn't have before, shouldn't that be enough to make people question it?
[it takes him like half a second to realize what she's grumbling for before he sighs, reaching up to pat her hair. there there.]
I don't know if you're gonna be able to stay up the whole night to avoid it. Besides, it's not like you have to stay in your new room if you really hate it, but maybe you won't.

Considering how many times we have to fish stuff out of the river, probably not. What is it?
no subject
[ anyway ] Uh, it's called the Phoenix Fire Gauntlet. I made it.
no subject
Oh. [oh. he remembers this story.] Where'd it come from? I thought you had the umbrella.
no subject
[ she just... puts it down. on the bridge. ] It's, uh - it's supposed to be destroyed. You don't like, want it. Right? You aren't feeling like you want to put it on?
no subject
No? I don't do gauntlets. [pokepoke.] Maybe it doesn't work like it's supposed to.
no subject
[ sniff. she's tipsy, don't mind her even weirder words. the gauntlet just lies there and is poked. ] So uh. Let's be glad it's not.
no subject
But I don't think throwing it out's safe either. We'll have to hold onto it.
no subject
after a moment, when he doesn't immediately put it on, she relaxes. ] I was, uh. I was just gonna shove it in my closet and never look at it again.

[ she closes her eyes and just leans against him heavily for a second. ] I wanna go back inside.
no subject
[and it sucks. but he lets her lean and he stays still to support her, glancing at the gauntlet again.]
We can go back in if you want. It's getting late anyway.
no subject
They're gonna switch our rooms again and I hate it. [ don't be such a baby. ] Maybe if I don't sleep I won't switch.
