The new splash of her hair draws his eye, and he reaches out, gently plucking a bit of void gore from the otherwise perfect curtain lying over her shoulder. He flicks it absently to their side.

Her continued laughter helps fill some of the emptiness a bit, but it's filling the way celery is. As soon as it's gone, the hunger returns. "Hey!" he scolds, trying to rouse something serious through the endless line of his grin. "You aren't taking this seriously at all. I mean it, bad consequences. The worst. Stuff of nightmares." It all falters a little bit when she steps away though, that golden thread of her touch that she'd handed him starting to slip through his fingers now.

Right. Friends.

"Well, always good to limit test I guess," he finally concedes, scoffing faintly as he lets her go without fuss, hands hiding back in his pockets. "Guess will see which one you go with, next week."
