[this is definitely more than he anticipated but it's... good. it feels good, it feels like he's taming absinthe in a way, making him less a source of fear, and that gives him a thrill. he curls his fingers in absinthe's shirt and holds on as he deepens the kiss further]
[ experimentally -- one hand goes to Raven's back, encouraging him closer, and the grip in his hair tightens some but still not enough to be truly painful. there's no teeth in the kiss either as much as he's briefly tempted to bite, pliant, letting Raven take the lead. ]
[blue.]
It's not eager.
[and then he tips the glass up]
Though, I guess flattering yourself feels about right. At least you're not dancing around in a shitty clown costume, telling jokes while you--
[ah right, covers his mouth]

[ he downs his own! which is green fittingly enough. and while he speaks he'll be casually trying to take Jay's hand into his own again. ]
That's very specific. You know, I've been compared to a court jester before.

[he lowers his other hand as he glances at their hands]
You, a court jester, huh? I s'pose that's higher up than a clown. But, I'm not one for the whole court intrigue bit.
And how, might I ask, did you get compared to a clown?
[he starts to talk some more, but, covers his mouth]

I chose to seat myself in a king's throne. He was not terribly happy with me.
[ amused, as he watches him cover his mouth: ]
Was your intent to kiss me?

[he raises an eyebrow, and lifts their hands so that he can kiss the back of it, even though he tries to talk through that]
That's how you wanna flatter yourself? After sitting on an actual throne?

[his fingers "walk" up absinthe's chest to the collar of his shirt, toying with it, and he breaks the kiss to take a breath]
... hah.
... hah.
[ he breaks the kiss but doesn't pull back much, catching his breath himself with an amused hum ]
Enjoying yourself?
Enjoying yourself?
[raven seems good with staying close as well, licking his lips]
... and if I am?
... and if I am?
[ a little pale, ]
... Are you okay now? Even if dying is fine, and it isn't something that we can avoid during that game, being possessed like that is still -
[ a breath, ]
- Something . . . even so, it's still something scary, isn't it...?
[ as if to punctuate it, she gives his hand a tiny squeeze, as if ???reassuring??? ]

Oh they're all quite hard-working in their own right. But some units tend to ... over-achieve in these sorts of games.
[ kissing will solve that! he pulls back, with a laugh ]
Cat got your tongue?
Cat got your tongue?
You truly need not be so concerned. I've experienced far worse things before -- it all hardly phased me.
[ he squeezes back! ]
[ he squeezes back! ]
They're not very kind.
[ but he doesn't seem seriously bothered, and he takes a step back himself, allowing Thancred space like a polite zombie. ]

I believe that to be the most entertaining way to go about this.
[ he'll be downing a red vial ]
