I'm curious, though. How would you rate our chances?

[Can he steal popcorn from everyone else...]

Well, I'd say 50/50.

[ You know. ]

I think they... have an interesting dynamic, and there's obviously chemistry there, but I'm not sure if they're what the other needs, if that makes sense.

50/50!

[ Sorry, he was eavesdropping. ]

That's a fairly high guess.

I'm an optimist!

[ BRIGHTLY. Tilting the popcorn invitingly at him.

Eat more, scraggly. ]

I see!

[ After a brief moment of consideration, he'll take a handful of popcorn with a nod, thank you. It's not that he's opposed to food, he just kind of eats whatever, whenever instead of seeking it out much. ]

Well it would certainly be nice if we managed to hit the jackpot on the first go. The odds are against us, but it isn't impossible.

Exactly! So while we can, I'm choosing to believe in them.

[ Winners all around except for Luka haters. ]

You're right, they're a bit hard to read beneath the show they put on for others.

[Sounds familiar, but! Luka and Yingying take this concept and run with it to the nth degree.]

Do you really think matching up what each other needs is the move we should take going forward? That's a very different approach...

[ Shh we don't talk about it. ]

It was just a thought I had. If they end up matched, then maybe it's what everyone was first thinking. If not, we can consider other factors.

Maybe...

[What they need. That sounds rather self-reflective, requiring plenty of introspection. And sharing!! yeah no thanks]

Here's hoping it's the easier option, actually.

For their sake or yours?

[ A little nudge. ]

[A little wobble, and excuse you!! He nudges back.]

You're not one to talk.

That's not an answer! And I'm not saying one's more ideal than the other, but we should take it into consideration either way!

[ Gosh! ]

[It wasn't an answer, really. But it seems to be the first time that Verso's considered it'll take more than just flirting and good chemistry to find their matches.

An uncomfortable thought, but for his wish... he'll just have to, won't he? Maybe just small baby steps at a time, until it's enough.]

Mmn. [Grunt of acceptance, maybe.] If they end up not matching, I'll consider it. I'm stubborn, but I'm not going to stand in the way of winning.
