[bobsicle]

I honestly don't know, to be fair. Maybe just average?

[vintsparkler]

No, average is boring. You are not boring.

[bobsicle]

What adjective do you think best describes me, then?

[vintsparkler]

Generous.

[bobsicle]

Oh, that's actually

Very generous of you, Dorian. [ See what he did there. ]

Why, though?

[vintsparkler]

Because you are. With sharing your views, experiences, kind words and touch.

[bobsicle]

That's really kind of you to say.

This just means I'm standing by what I said that you're a generous man, too.

[vintsparkler]

You’re welcome.

Well, I’m not exactly trying to disprove it.

[bobsicle]

And I wouldn't want you to either.

Okay, one word I'll describe you, too, is thoughtful.

[ Is he somehow turning this into a game of Describe Each Other With One Word? Maybe. ]

[vintsparkler]

No, but it could be fun, see if you believe some of the things I say.

[ would be like a game of two truths and a lie. ]

Oh, you can do better than that.

[bobsicle]

[ Maybe that's a better game. ]

Fine, let's do what you suggested instead. Sounds fun. I think I'll enjoy trying to figure out if you're telling the truth or not.

[vintsparkler]

Alright, spot the lie.
1. I was expelled from university.
2. Wine is my favorite drink.
3. I can’t swim.

[bobsicle]

[ Wow, this is actually hard. So there's a brief delay on Bobby's end. ]

Maybe number 3? [ Totally just a wild guess. ]

[vintsparkler]

Correct, it was almost 2, because wine moves around on my list of favorites. Depends on where it’s from.

[bobsicle]

Wow! I got it right! That's really cool.

What's your favorite kind of wine, then?

[vintsparkler]

How did you figure that out?

Red, specifically from my home, Tevinter.

[bobsicle]

Process of elimination, I guess? You're smart so I'm sure you wouldn't be expelled.

And you also like to drink. So wine has to be up there somewhere.

What's Tevinter like?

[vintsparkler]

Oh, I was expelled.

But you’re right, I do make my love of wine known.

Humid. Laden with as much history as corruption.

[bobsicle]

Oh, I misread that as you weren't expelled so I guess my victory earlier is a fluke.

Sorry to hear about the corruption from your home, though.

[vintsparkler]

Could go again with a different set, if you’re up for it. Or if you have some of your own to share.

No place is perfect, but it’s home. And I was spoiled by very high quality wine… Beer and Brandy are close seconds.

[bobsicle]

Okay, I'll keep these drinks in mind when you drop by the Abyss again.

Anyway, while I'm thinking of my own set, you can give me yours in the meantime. Let's see if I can get it right again.

[vintsparkler]

Thank you.

1. I love the ocean.
2. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies.
3. I’m an only child.

[bobsicle]

Oh, this is harder.

[ Which is emphasized by a delay on his end. ]

Maybe number 3 again?

[vintsparkler]

No. I am, in fact, an only child.

It’s number 1. I do not like the ocean, especially the one here in Duplicity.

[bobsicle]

Oh dang, I didn't win this time.

I heard there's a creature in the ocean here in Duplicity, so I understand that. But why don't you like oceans in general?
