[swordflash]

Just choose him.

[He says this casually, because Ogata is begging to be chosen.]

[selfinserting]

[Nodding along.]

Um, okay. I, I can do that. [But!] Is, um, is it your turn now?

[swordflash]

Looks like it.

[While Shinobu and Ogata drink, Zenitsu spins the board and lands on CHOOSE ANOTHER PLAYER TO DRINK.

Again! Why does he keep getting only drinking prompts? He hates this. Although he snaps his head in Evan's direction, his expression is devoid of animosity.]

Since you just got here, I'll choose you.

[selfinserting]

[Since Zenitsu is a good and valid boy, Evan's drink is at least non-alcoholic, so he nods and does just that.]

It's probably, um, more fair this way... Right?

[Especially since he got here late, and Some People have been at it for a while.]

[swordflash]

[Choosing Sanji would've been funny, but also cruel and unusual punishment. He might choke on the cider if they try to shove it down his throat.]

Yeah.

It's not a bad drink, either. Do you like it?

[selfinserting]

[He nods immediately, trying to offer a smile.]

Yeah! Yeah, I do. It's, um, it's really good. Thank you for giving it to me.

[swordflash]

There's plenty for all of us. Here.

[He grabs an unopened bottle of cider from the side.]

This way, you can keep your cup full.

[selfinserting]

Thanks.

[He takes it, opening it so he can pour some more into his cup, before he spins again. This time, he lands on "spinner drinks half a glass", so Zenitsu has good timing. He starts to sip as he looks his way.]

Have you, um... I mean, is this your first time, um, playing something like this?

[swordflash]

[They're going to feel so full after tonight.

Zenitsu nods.]

I didn't have friends to play them with, so most games are new to me—not that we have something like this in my world.

[selfinserting]

Oh...

[A sympathetic glance.]

I'm, um, I'm sorry. That you didn't - you know. But, um, people seem to like you a lot here!

[swordflash]

You think so? I didn't start making friends until the mansion.

[That was one good thing about that place. People are very kind here, generally speaking.]

By the way, did you ever get a paper crane from Wei Wuxian?

[selfinserting]

A paper crane...? I, um, I don't think so. Why?

[He tilts his head.]

[swordflash]

[His brow creases in mild confusion.]

We made some together. He wanted to give one to everyone here, but especially you.

[selfinserting]

[It isn’t hard to detect the surprise in his expression.]

I... Especially me? Why?

[swordflash]

He thought you might like it—being remembered.

I guess he couldn't send them with the postcards . . .

[selfinserting]

[Regardless of whether or not it worked, he looks clearly touched after the surprise fades, letting out a heavy exhale once he takes that in.]

It was... That was really nice of him, even if it didn't come over. [And, after a moment:] Nice of, um, nice of you too. I mean, if you helped him with it... Thank you.

[swordflash]

[His cheeks color a tad at the gratitude. That's too sincere!]

I didn't do that much . . .

How about this? Once we're done here, we can find some paper and fold those cranes you never got. If you don't know how to make them, I'll show you.

[selfinserting]

I, um... [aaaaa] I'd really, um, really like that.

[But!]

You, um, you can go whenever you want to. With the - bottle.
