// Start a tiny riot //
Confusion slides into something firm and knowing as she explains, but he's onto her. He wags a finger, shaking his head at her attempt of an innocent explanation. "Nah nah nah. You're trying to get me to play sexy Go Fish with you because you'd win easy. You'd know all my cards based on the faces I make. Nice try Flo-Ro, but we're playing a fair and square game." A pause. "Also what the fuck is a sky-anchor swivel kiss? That sounds made up, or like part of a boat." Sounds a bit too complicated and absurd, like naming all your fighting moves and magic and screaming them out at your enemy right before you attack. Watch out Caly—here comes the spinning hammock collapse!
He hums, leaning back as he deliberates. "So you're saying no letter at all?" He's no idea where she lives, but he supposes he could swing by the bar, although isn't that a bit lame to bother her at work? He glances from the ceiling back to her quiet seagreen eyes. "Guess I did," he admits with a frown. "Saw you talking to him again, at the party, so I assumed..." Somehow he's still talking about him, so Kaisel doesn't finish it all, and hopes she won't either. He's not about to argue the point that he didn't bring up Jack when they'd been talking about Caly just now, but he supposes she'd only been trying to help. It's good information to have, at the very least, though he could have gotten it straight from Caly's mouth instead of letting it dampen some of the edges here.
All of Flora's continued suggestions are good ones, and he nods along with rapt attention, mental notes scribbling up a flame until smoke is liable to start pouring from his ears. Gods, it's all starting to sound a bit complicated though, and he's still a bit short on time. After tonight (today? Shit, what time is it even?), Koa and he likely need to head back to King's End and resume sorting out shit there. They'd only come back to Torchline to check on things, not to flirt. Kaisel will have to make time though, if he plans on her keeping her claws sheathed.
The game is something easy at least, so he sinks back into it happily, his troubles like the sea surrounding them, lapping on the edges of his mind but not pouring in over the sides, yet. "Hmm, so some mild klepto qualities. Noted." He flicks a few more of the faces down, and picks up another gummy worm, mostly spinning it in his hands instead of eating it, chuckling at her newest question. "They look like they should be smarter than that, but yeah don't get left alone at a party with them or else you'll hear all about the ice wall at the end of the world."
"Does yours look like they've ever been kissed?"
