[spellslots]

I've got like, eyes.

[As if that answers the question, which in Taako's opinion it very much does.

Drew's comment startles a laugh out of him, too.]

You gotta try harder, my man, a lotta people here are down with that kinda thing.

[He's... not, mostly.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew barks out a laugh, a grin on his features as he moves to lean on the tree.] Y'got real pretty ones, too.

[Drew pouts.] I ain't used to tryin' hard! [He's still smiling though, still with an air of teasing about him.]

[spellslots]

[He makes a point to bat his eyelashes, a hand on his chest to show just how flattered he is.]

Doesn't seem like you'd have to try that hard.

[Drew is pretty charming, but then Taako is easily charmed by compliments.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew grins.] Y'don't think so... well y'should see what some of the people here think of my southern charm. [Because Drew's brand of flirtation bordered pretty heavily on the crossroads of offensive and vulgar.]

[spellslots]

Maybe the problem is that they got no idea what southern charm is.

[South of what, Drew!!!]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew laughs at that.] Well then they should be givin' me the chance to show 'em!

[spellslots]

That's what you should lead with, cause it totally sounds like some kinda euphemism.

[Southern charm is obviously some kinda sex thing.]

[willinglychanged]

Wait, really? So if I start runnin' 'round askin' people if I can show 'em a little southern charm y'think I'll finally start getting laid? [Drew's eyebrows knit together in surprise at that, but hey it was a line, at least. One that might work, too.]

[spellslots]

I think if you went to like, any club and spent half an hour there you'd get laid, but sure, maybe the line'll help.

[Everyone here are sluts.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew just laughs at that, shaking his head a little.] So you trying to tell me y'got a lot of experience with those kindsa people here?

[spellslots]

Maybe just a little, but I've uh, spent most of my time here in a... thing? Relationship thing, I guess? [All his chill kind of goes out the window, because he's still bad at talking about this.] So it's not like I've been sleeping around a lot, you know?

[Nailed it.]

[willinglychanged]

Oh yeah? [Drew smiles at that.] Man you're lucky, I just can't do the whole relationship thing- [He waves his hands around in the air as if a relationship is some magical idea that's beyond him.]

[spellslots]

Fuck, uh, neither. That's why I'm not in one anymore. Got dumped cause I couldn't like, commit or whatever the fuck.

[He feels super awkward. And kinda guilty because that's really oversimplifying it.]

[willinglychanged]

Aw, really? [Drew looks at least consoling.] I'm sorry dude, that sucks- I kinda had the same thing, before I got here... I mean, there was more to it than my whole I hate commitment thing but yeah, it sucks.

[spellslots]

Uh, yeah, it's whatever, you know?

[It sucked, but he really should've expected it, and that's what frustrated him the most. He knows better than to get caught up in that kind of bullshit.

And because he's incapable of not deflecting with a joke:]

I'm saving myself for death now, anyway.

[what]

[willinglychanged]

Yeah, I know what ya mean... [Drew slowblinks at him, a little confused at the joke.] Well hey, if it works.... [Even if he was lowkey alarmed at the dark humour.]

[spellslots]

[Taako huffs a laugh; that wasn't quite the reaction he was hoping for, but he can roll with it.]

Been on a couple dates with the grim reaper, back home, he's a very handsome dude.

[willinglychanged]

Really? [Drew's jaw drops a little because well, they didn't really have a grim reaper back home and while all the legends may be true, Drew had never heard an outright confirmation of that one.]

[spellslots]

Yup, his name's Kravitz, tried to kill me and my friends but we squared that one away with his goddess so we're all good now. Real bad at pottery though.

[He tried his best.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew just stares at him gain, slowblinking once more.] I think I smoked too much before I walked here, man... [Which is also a possibility.]

[spellslots]

[That is a much, much better reaction, and Taako grins.]

You can handle a wizard elf, but a grim reaper is too much for you?

[willinglychanged]

I mean like, yeah... y'got a bunch of elves out there in the world but I thought the Grim Reaper was kinda fake man, who wants to think death is an actual person? [Because Drew did not, no thank you.]

[spellslots]

Well, if you wanna get right down to it, death is a goddess. The grim reaper just works for her.

[Life and death, really, but that's getting a little too deep into it.]

[willinglychanged]

[Drew takes in a deep breath, a little confused about that.] Wait, shit, really? I leave all that divinity crap to the witches...

[spellslots]

Yeah, yeah, this kinda gets everyone. [Turns out gods aren't as active in most worlds. Weird.] But there are celestial, divine beings and I work for one too, I guess?
