"Irresistible doesn't sound like a problem," he pointed out. "Not that I want to be irresistible. To anyone. Except you. Not that you can't. Resist. In which case I would respect your wishes."
Why did he say words.
She felt very strongly about the windmill. He probably should not have been amused by her obvious embarrassment, but it was a rare instance where he was not the one feeling like an awkward asshole. He thought he was allowed to enjoy it a little, at least.
And she did look very cute when she blushed like that.
"I'm not even sure what a hustle would entail," he informed her. While he generally quite liked it when she was close, something in her attitude had him leaning away. Even with their height difference, she could be very intimidating. Then again, Ix could be very easy to intimidate, under the right circumstances.
His backward lean went a little sideways as she bent at the waist, before he recalled that he was a gentleman. He put a little more distance between them, putting his eyes on her ball rather than her. Gentleman-like. She played with a great deal more intent than he had, which he'd anticipated. A rock would play with more intent than he did. Her's was a much more controlled ricochet, and he was pleased that she came as close to the hole as she did.
He stepped on the platform that would carry them to their hole, waiting for her to join him before pressing the button. "I hope any ass-kickings will be purely metaphorical, on your part," he teased. Ix had actually tested, once, the theory that he could travel perfectly well between the floating platforms unassisted. He was not drunk enough to do it again, but he had a hunch that it would amuse Nova greatly to see him do it.
When he stepped off the platform to take his turn, he considered deliberately botching the shot. But aside from being unsporting, Nova would probably see right through it and take offense. Better to let her win honestly, if winning was what he wanted. He nudged his ball, and it fell obediently into the hole, which lit up and played a little victory jingle. With a roll of his eyes, he collected it before standing well out of Nova's way. The display embedded in the ball displayed a jaunty '2'.
