Isn't the end of that 'and hope to die'? That's barely a consequence here. Guess I'll just have to make sure it's really worth doing anyway.
[ Light. He tips his head back, thinking. Apparently completely content to do this thinking while still leaning with his back against the tree and Venti's weight supported. ]
Let's see... I've got a square for pinning someone down with vines, a square for poisoned kissing, a square for using pollen in ~some way~...

[ It's comfy?? Why would they move?? Lupine's strong, Venti weighs nothing, this is fine. ] [ A chuckle, ]
Why do I feel like you like one of those options more than the other two.
[ ...And why not, really. He's got something he could say. Lipquirk, but instead of continuing he's gonna just ~nightingale~ them, a flourish of scented wind full of petals and leaves; one lifts them up, then up. Because maybe he remembers this was something Venti liked, too. ]
[ It's a ludicrously soft way of flying, too, like. Ride the leaf. ] [ But he smothers a laugh and gives Venti a toothy grin. ]
Thought you'd like that.

Probably should've taken a few seconds to really assess his card-swap; he was so used to the wolf's instincts that so far he's only really noticed their absence, but of course the nymph card must've come with something, too. He should slow this down a little, double-check some of the things he wants to do.
...But the 'secret' should be fine. Right? It's not much of one, even though he— ]
I left some stuff outside your door after that long game, the one that really sucked for most people. Didn't sign my name, or anything, so it should count?
[ ...annnnd suddenly he feels a little put on the spot, even though he absolutely did this to himself. He tells himself it's ridiculous to feel self-conscious, it's not like he actually meant the stuff to be a secret. ]
Uh, I left some fixings for beef bowls? And a thermos.
[ Really wishes he could rub the back of his neck right now, or fidget in literally any way, but his arms are occupied and you don't shift your weight when you're standing on a branch. ]
Yeah, well. [ He's glad you like it, or something. ] I can give you the recipe.
[ And boy the nymph is enjoying all of this, so so much. ]
Yeah, well, the sign said you wanted to be left alone.
[ Somewhere between what he clearly thinks is a tone of eminent reasonableness and an embarrassed mutter. ] [ In his defense, he'd probably be less embarrassed if the nymph in him would stop having reactions to and feelings about this obviously stupid thing, reactions and feelings that he is sincerely hoping aren't in any way visible. ]

Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
Hmmm~
You could find someone much more into in the first one, and it would be pretty bad if I got poisoned, so . . .
I vote for pollen or nature walks or secrets~

Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
Venti balances easily, like perhaps he's someone who spends a lot of time in trees for some reason . . . ]
If I didn't know better, I'd think I was being wooed.

Right, like you need wooing.

Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
[ Blank confusion, plain and simple ]
. . . Something like that is a secret?
Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
Sure. I mean, unless you already guessed. Then it probably won't count.

Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
Ohhhh!! So you were the one who left that mysterious drink I liked so much!
Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
[ Mysterious??? ] [ Well, that sure is another bubble of warmth. Ugh. Thanks a lot, nymph card. ]
I guess so? It was a... kind of eggnog. With, uh, sake? —Good for colds, that kind of thing.

Yes!! How silly of you to hide it. Plenty of people left gifts for sensitIV that day.

[ Bops his nose ]
Thank you for such a thoughtful gift. You didn't have to go out of your way, but you did.
Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
It's easy to make. Not all that stable, though, once it starts to cool off, so you have to drink it kind of quickly.
Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
Well then, you'll just have to teach me sometime!
Re: + Venti, Monster Bingo 3
—Yeah, I can do that.
[ And he would've agreed anyway, but there's a tiny bit of heat crawling up his neck right now. ] [ stupid nymph's stupid feelings ]
