[He blinks. His face tells when realization dawns of what he's done.]

Ah . . . No, I was merely . . . responding to what sounded like my name.

[Help.]

[hexensabbat]

[damn, turned down, ice cold]

[embellwish]

Oh, so that was it, okay...~

[ She pouts, looking off. Like a flower, she is feigning wilting and drooping all dramatically. ]

I guess you're not interested after all then!

[poans]

[?!]

Miss Yingying, I would never . . . You are quite the lovely woman with a warmth few possess. That is, this is not a reflection of you, but of a poorly timed jest.

[Please don't wilt.]

[embellwish]

[ She is truly playing with him like a fiddle, or a cat messing with its food. The way he started backpedaling and being earnest is way too adorable... she's not ashamed at all to fake being all bummed out to elicit it.

Plus, why is he always dropping romantic lines while being completely clueless? It's just funny. And cute. A warmth few possess, huh? ]

Hmmmmmmmm.... [ She draws out the sound, pretending to think. ] Alright, I believe you. Just playing around, huh?

[ She readjusts herself, propping her chin up on a hand from where she's laying. Changing the subject to put him at ease: ]

How did you suddenly appear like that?

[poans]

[He himself is one thing due to his indifference, but he doesn't wish to inflict unnecessary hurt on others, much less someone like Yingying. As such, a calm settles over him when she lets the matter go.]

I have been here this whole time.

[He was just standing off to the side until opportunity struck.]

[embellwish]

Here, come sit with everyone.

[ She draws her legs closer to her body, patting the seat next to her. ]

No need to stand off on the sidelines like that. Or else I might think you disappeared again.

[poans]

[That shouldn't be a concern of hers. He has no reason to refuse, however, and so acquiesces by sitting next to her.]

. . . As you wish.

[embellwish]

[ So obedient. It makes her wonder if he'll just follow anyone around... ]

You don't have any ideas on who we should send to the booth?

[poans]

That depends on the criteria by which we're deciding on potential matches. I believe Miss Ringo has already initiated that discussion.

[embellwish]

Yes, Ringo started it — but we need everyone's help to solve it!

It's supposed to be who you've been having fun and getting along with. Or, that's a good starting point.

[poans]

[Fun?]

I've yet to engage in an altercation with any of the players.

[embellwish]

...Altercation?

[ sir????? ]

Do you normally get into altercations?

[poans]

No, just . . . As I've not had a disagreement, it can be said that I have been "getting along" with everyone.

[embellwish]

Have you ever heard of the phrase "tolerating someone?"
