[ He's lounging at the bar, looking a little tuckered out from a long day of BEACH FUN. I have to clarify this so Claude doesn't look like a day drinker.
Anyway, waves at Jing Yuan. ]
Hey there. Nice place, isn't it? [ Bougie. ] And probably no fear of drowning in drinks like the cafe.

Do you fear a dull mind moreso than a dull blade? Or dull meal, for that matter.
[ keeps adding to this ongoing litmus test of his understanding of claude.
and it's okay u can complain about whatever u want beautiful!!! 🥺 (deranged omo voice) ]
We could take our drinks out on the beach. I did see large parasols, if you have an aversion to the sun. The sand, unfortunately, is inescapable.

[ Narrows his eyes at Jing Yuan, but in a playful way. ]
What a question. Do you ask every handsome stranger questions like that or have I just caught your interest?
[ wink wonk
Anyway, he will slide off the stool, drink in hand. ]
But I'm down for a scenery change. The beach does make a better view.

[ sorry he just laughs. claude... you are bold. (and baby... tears up)
(fake) gravely, ]
I'm afraid the questions are universal. It is not a mark of good character to show favoritism, and we are all on the path of redemption.
[ gives a friendly wink back at least. ]
To the beach it is.
[ they go! ]

[ UR THE SPECIALIST BOYO IN THE WHOLE WHORL CLAUDE!
oh god for whatever reason i mixed up the drinks at the neighborhood bar with the stuff on the boardwalk. JUST TAKES THIS TRAIN RIDE WITH DRINKIES IN TO-GO CUPS OR SOMETHING. ]
Truly? By what means do you normally travel?
[ he grabs a couple beach towels off the boardwalk for them to sprawl on! their A+ in patience pays off with a nice view. ]

[ THAT'S WHY I SET IT IN THE BAR OMO... MY AGENDA not them walking around with alcohol in their travel cups like true alcoholics.
Whoa! He's appreciative of Jing Yuan grabbing the towels. Thank you, king. ]
Most people travel by horseback or carriage. I sometimes travel on my wyvern, but even she can't compete with this invention.
[ He's just a country deer... Jing Yuan is a city lion... ]

[ me looking back on all this like i have fucked up like i never fucked up before. MAKES A TRUE ALCOHOLIC OUT OF CLAUDE YET!!!!!
and ofc king enjoy your MORE BEACH 🥰 ]
Wyvern? That is... a dragon of sorts? [ he perks up a little, curiosity palpable. ]
Where I am from, we commute on flying crafts known as starskiffs—ground transportation is far less common.
[ NOT TO SHOW OFF OR ANYTHING... he fiddles with the lid of his drink, and takes a small sip. hmm. a little spicy. ]

They are sort of like small dragons.
[ He nods, settling down on one of the towels and patting the spot next of him for Jing Yuan to sit down as well.
Also sips his drink... Even though Claude would prefer a beer. Makes him drink a spicy cocktail. ]
Starskiffs, huh. Do you also have travel between planets?

[ unfortunately there was no beer left at the bar... (this is not possible) there was ONLY spicy cocktails left...
he takes a seat and arranges himself comfortably, within the confines of the shade because he was denied his birthright, melanin. ]
We do—it is the crux of our trade, in fact. Though it has been a rather long time since I've had the chance to venture beyond the Jade Gate.
[ he smiles out over the horizon, and takes another sip. ]
This was not the destination I was anticipating, but—
[ SUDDENLY gets distracted. he swings his gaze back on claude and stares VERY INTENTLY. ]
...Would you mind staying still for a moment? [ he is calculating BITE trajectory. ]

[ gooby forever (LET ME SEE THE BLUSHU!!!!)
but honestly even jing yuan is rather astonished. what the deuce.
carefully, ] ...That might not be an incorrect way to put it.
[ he frowns, considers something, and takes another sip of his cocktail. ]
...As I thought. My apologies in advance, Claude.
[ i lied about not being problematic again because he leans in to bite him a second time, on the same cheek (face). not hard enough to leave teeth marks, still enough to leave jing yuan with an abstract sense of horror. THIS IS A BABY...
he then sets down his cup entirely. ] We should stop drinking these.
[ eyes claude's drink like uh oh how far did he get. ]

[ if he's old enough to kill people, then he's old enough to bite jing yuan...
He just watches as Jing Yuan puts the cup down before looking back at him, and, hm. That does seem to be pretty sound advice, except he's leaning in before he even realizes it, teeth closing down over the smooth skin of Jing Yuan's jaw.
Chomp. ]
...
[ He does linger a second, like a deer in headlights, before ricocheting back. ]
Wow, what is in those drinks?

[ it really does look like he's gonna kword jing yuan in that icon
jing yuan blinks back at claude, perfectly still as he waits for him to withdraw. (omo's reaction: his eyes are so green... FLORSHED!!!!) and his lips quirk into a smile when claude suddenly snaps back to attention. he then reaches up to absently rub at his jaw, where claude had bit him. ]
An appetite stimulant, clearly.
[ he huffs softly, definitely looking amused. (thinks about how he dragged claude all the way back here because i couldn't READ, and now they can't even enjoy their DRINKIES,) ]
...Hmm. Would you care for a game instead?
[ handwaves them drawing out a board game in the sand and kickflips back into the gy ]
