Imrijka drinks and adjusts her clothing to make her ring clearer.

"Some people say I don't take anything seriously but I've at least considered it." The lyrakien takes a drink.

"Thyme was at one point considering having me marry a fairy prince and then kill him, does that count?"

"Let's say no."

"...Does thinking if a specific slave were to overthrow and imprison me it'd be hot and I'd be okay belonging to them forever count as contemplating marriage? Sorry, I did some really fucked up things while mind controlled."

"I don’t really think that counts as a marriage so I'd say no again."

He doesn't drink this time.

Imrijka grabs a stack of plates and forks and napkins from Bar to go with Cumin's cake, analyzes the cake, and serves herself a slice.

"Never have I ever been cheated on in a relationship, at least that I know of."

Sigh. "Bet you can guess what I’m about to say."

"I'll count it even if it was coercive, I have seen witches get mad at their enchanted boyfriends for nonmonogamy before."

He thinks about it and then just drinks rather than ask for further clarification.

The lyrakien drinks. "I would have been fine with sharing, but I don't like being extensively lied to."

"I'm not natively attracted to women and I don't like drama and I'm not sure I really want a love life enough to buy a potion for it."

"A potion?"

"The really upscale alchemists sell love potions, yeah. If two people drink the same potion they fall in love. Verrry pricey but if you want to date a witch and you're not a sapphist and you don't want to fight over boys it's one of the better options."

"Huh, I've only heard of much shorter-term love potions and not really the kind people take on purpose."

"Oh, those are cheaper, it's just that you really shouldn't use them on yourself or someone else unless you like drama. I used to sell them but that was before I cared about negative reviews."

"I have also had no real love life to speak of but not because I was specifically rejecting a lot of obvious plans, it's more that I never made time."

Clarinda pauses and turns to the lyrakien. "You're the kind of celestial who does relationships? How, uh, humanoid do you get? …I'm sorry, I don't want to make things weird."

"Are you the kind of person who'll get messed up if you never see me again?"

"Do I look not messed up? I want to do things that aren't about trying to win an unwinnable game for once in my pointless life. Afterlife. Whatever."

"That's fair. I'll think about it."

Cumin has a thought, and makes eye contact with Imrijka. "Never have I ever tried to kill myself."

Imrijka has a drink and rolls her eyes a bit. "Do you still hold it against me?"

Clarinda will also have a drink.

Cumin shrugs, then looks confusedly at Clarinda. "You said you've never cast a combat spell and I don't think we've met before today."
