It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

[Oh my god why is he doing this. This is so-- no, he knows why this is so weird. This feels like Magnus. This feels like cycle five or six, when Taako decided he was gonna have a little fun with the man with a bicep the side of his head and Magnus wasn't in on it, but just kept wanting to make sure he was okay. It made his stomach turn. It was-- feelsy. Kind. And relating Nate to someone he really gives a shit about makes things way way way too complicated.

Finally, Taako huffs, and lets him go.]

Look, I know you're-- compassionate or whatever, but it's fine. I have a boyfriend, dude. Seriously.

[That's not gonna stop him from grabbing Nate's liquor, tilting his head back, and taking a four second chug. Fuck any hesitancy or choking from earlier, he just fucking takes it, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.]

I mean, you're missing out, but I'm not gonna be pissed at you or whatever. What're you worried about, that I'm gonna turn you into a toad or something?

[This isn't his forte and he doesn't have his druthers to push further, particularly when there's a snowball's chance in Hell it'll actually work, that Taako would participate. Nate tries not to make a habit of requesting more from others than he would be willing to give in return. He tries not to ask for things people aren't ready to share. Or talk about. Ever.

He's empathetic to it, he knows. He knows.

So Nate lets Taako snatch the wicker-wrapped bottle and pound a good quarter of it, a carefully neutral expression on his face, and takes a sip of his own drink.]

Nah. [The smile he gives is rueful, but it doesn't reach his eyes.] I'll save it for another day.

[He rolls his eyes, but doesn't protest.]

Just make sure you keep having shit to say to me and I guess I can work with your sentimentality.

[Aka, keep hanging around, don't like. Leave or anything. Shut up. He's not teetering on his heels anymore, but that doesn't mean he isn't still a little wobbly, and he leans back on Nate's shoulder.]

I'd say you owe me a dance for all that fuckin' emotional shit you just put me through unasked for, Natey boy.

[Is there??? Dancing here???? There's about to be, fuck it.]
