[ He hasn't left anything in his blessing basket lately, and he hasn't been here long enough to get a solid sense of what would be considered genuinely unusual in this place, so Vyng wouldn't know.]
Hmm. Well, I think I could convince him to at least try it. It's actually how a lot of people travelled between villages back home.
Aw, bud... [ Of course Shiro would leave messages like that for Sodder. It's too bad they probably don't help him sleep any better at night. Vyng places a hand on his shoulder. ] When you say they've talked to her, you mean she responded to them? But now she's just...silent?
[ Not a good sign. ]
[ At least Shiro's still capable of laughing at some things. But Vyng doesn't expect the other man to throw the teasing back at him like this. And so handily, too! ]
[ Thankfully, he and Adam have already talked about his elf crush. Now that it's out in the open between them all, Vyng feels like he can swap some light-hearted, flirty jabs in good fun. ]
Oh yeah? And if he had you to hold onto while I steered? You think he'd be into that too?
[ Shiro's been here longer than almost anybody Vyng knows, so he's interested to hear his thoughts. Even if it is just speculation. ]
[ But the scenario with the skiff is too easy to imagine: Adam's face pinched with consternation and red with embarrassment...as if riding on a ship with his husband and some weirdo elf he likes (for some reason) is just some big fucking chore. ]
[ Vyng can't help it. His shoulders start shaking with quiet laughter. ]

[But at least he's... smiling a bit, as he speaks this time.]
I'm ready any time - but Adam? You might have to convince him.
no subject
[ Smiling is good! Vyng mirrors his expression back at him. ]
Guess Adam doesn't like living in the fast lane, huh.
no subject
[Which is - probably not good.]
Not even remotely, no.

[But now there's nothing. And he's worried.]
You'd be surprised. He can out-stubborn me, honestly.
no subject
[ Vyng's not sure how useful that information actually is. But he's a curious man, if nothing else. ]
Hah, I believe it. [ Then, leaning in with a teasing tone: ] ...Any tips on getting him to climb aboard a vehicle with a questionable pilot?
no subject
[And Shiro's always going to have concerns over a kid. Especially one he believes is in the same situation he'd been in, before.]
Pfff - [That's a laugh. It really is. Because Shiro thinks Adam's elf Thing is hilarious.] If it's you? I think he'd be into it.

no subject
[Now, not so much.]
[But look, teasing his partner over this? He can do that. He can absolutely do that.]
You know, maybe. But he'd be really irritated about it the whole time. Or act like he was.

Now I wanna ask, just to see what he'd say.
no subject
[He doesn't know. He really doesn't. It's kind of terrifying, really.]
[Shiro ends up snorting - totally dignified.]
You're welcome to. But I did warn you, it won't be fun.
