[ Can't believe there aren't just dildos hanging from every wall to scandalize all the ye oldes.
But no, this is a shockingly normal-looking bedroom? Larger and nicer than the rest of the bedrooms they've been given, for sure, but still just a bedroom? And here Gawain thought there'd be something highly suspicious or incredibly damning about it.

This is it?
[ This can't be everything?? Gawain spares Rutile a singular glance before marching over to the nearest cabinet/closet/whatever and tugging open a drawer in order to inspect its contents. He digs through it and pulls out a whip and some fuzzy handcuffs.
on the other hand, while gawain goes to peruse those drawers, rutile is going to go to the bed and... sit on it, and if he's mildly bouncing on it that's just gawain's imagination. in his defense, it looked so big and comfortable. he can confirm it is indeed that.
then gawain is pulling out things the older wizards would definitely use better than rutile, who then leaves the comfy bed (woe) to come over and look at this curiously. ]
No... Miss Caren wouldn't make something like that.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you borrowed them, if you think they look that comfy.

What do you think, Mister Gawain?
[ whip crack
whip crack ]
It sounds striking, doesn't it?
[ needless to say they're not solving any mysteries tonight ]
Just kidding, Gawain wouldn't know foreplay if it hit it him in the head like a falling cartoon piano. He is vaguely interested in Rutile's fingering technique—I mean, handling of the whip, if only because he's always interested in weapons, kinky or otherwise. Even if he prefers using a poleaxe (even if it's not about the length or size but the girth—), being able to defend oneself with any variety of weapon is always a good thing, in his book.

It does. But I wonder how useful it'll actually be in the face of real danger.
[ They're on a game show, what danger is there other than the possibility of a broken heart. ]
[ getting this ready, and in his most gallant form, he says: ]
If you want to take my friend on a bad date, you'll have to go through me...!
[ WHIP CRACK
listen, this is the most dangerous thing he could think up of in a game show about love. anyway gawain only gets the one last crack of the whip, because rutile has a surprisingly low attention span and can only swing a weapon around for so long.
he ditched a dagger for magic, he'll ditch the whip for magic too... ]
[ in π³ position π³π³ —no i said i would stop
Anyway, that flamboyant show earns (maybe shockingly) a small laugh out of Gawain, as well as a geniune smile. It maybe have been stupid and dramatic but it's hard to stay serious when there's someone as earnest as Rutile around. ]
I didn't realize we were friends already.
[ Are Rutile and Nagiko in friendship cahoots......maybe. Or maybe more likely, this is all just a pretend hypothetical situation. ]
I wouldn't go on a bad date to begin with anyway. If it did end up bad, then I would just leave.
and gosh, gawain does have a pretty smile and laugh, doesn't he? it's rare enough that rutile does have to pause over it, but it's not enough to spare him from punishment for his rude, rude comment.
rutile's flipping the whip over, poking the handle of it lightly into gawain's side. it wasn't hypothetical; rutile is entirely too open and probably works much too fast. π³
bitch, please. ]
Of course we are. Jeez, Mister Gawain... Your nice smile and laugh aren't enough to save you from rejecting me that bluntly.
[ ... and, as he continues to lightly poke him, because he's curious: ]
What does a good date look like for you? One that would make you stay and go "wow, this is fun!"
[ it's definitely not sitting in the rgr looking in drawers ]
Sad to say (but probably easily predictable), his smile fades quick enough as soon as he's jabbed in the side by the whip handle. Hey, cut that out. He flicks at it idly with one hand, though not hard enough to send it flying or anything. Rutile and Nagiko are seriously in cahoots, aren't they.... ]
What is it with people here and their eagerness to make friends?
[ It's not an actual question he wants answers to, more muttered to himself than anything. Seriously, he could be some serial killer just putting on a good face while planning on murdering everyone in their sleep. People shouldn't be so easy to trust. ]
And I don't know. I've never thought about that. [ Obviously the whole point of the question was to get him to think about it but......sometimes your head is empty. ] Whatever would make the person I'm with happy, I suppose.
