I'm sure our stuff are here somewhere. I refuse to accept that they stole our belongings and destroyed them.
[ Not that she's even aware that people can be taken from their worlds without clothes on or anything. That would honestly just be so stupid. . . ]
There are other things to do here, you know. [ It's what she says once she's spun, quick to balance herself and move along. ] Not that I'll be doing much of it, but it seems there are so many games to play in the casino.

Ugh, of course...
[ It's not like Rin is wrong or anything, but Weiss would prefer to spend what money she has here on essentials. Food is essentials! And she sure as hell doesn't have any intention of going around and begging for people to treat her or anything.
She does wave the waiter over, though. It's a lounge, so maybe filling finger food might be available. ]
Do you have some Grilled Nectarine & Cheese Crostinis? Maybe Cilantro Tomato Bruschetta?
[ Those are oddly specific, but it's what she thinks are good to eat. The waiter does confirm they have crostinis, but it's smoked pimiento cheese. Some other finger food selections are offered, as well. So Weiss defers to Rin for judgement. ]
Any preference?

[ It's true - they could stop here. The thought even occurs to Weiss when their tongues meet, but she's overcome by a need to keep going. To keep kissing Furina. The fact that they're playing a game hasn't been lost on her, but. . . perhaps just a little more, a little longer.
There's something fun about this— kissing and being close to someone— the physical intimacy of it all is both so intriguing and exciting, and Weiss finds that she's not quite ready to let go just yet.
At the same time though, she isn't someone who intends to take this any further. Her kisses remain as slow and heated as Furina's, like a calm river during a hot summer day. Even Furina's hand by her neck feels hotter than it should, as if she's become so sensitive to everything.
When Weiss breaks away, it's more because she needs air than because she wanted to stop. Her eyes stay half-lidded after opening them, her cheeks so flush, and her chest is heaving just from all that. ]
Are you okay?
[ Her voice is hush, and it's only the hand on Furina's chin that drops. The other remains on the other girl's waist, albeit her touch isn't so heavy and pronounced now. ]

[When Rin hears something she likes she pipes up.]
Oh! The roasted Margherita flatbread sounds lovely.
[It sounds healthy enough that she won't feel (too) bad if she devours the whole thing. Also it sounds warm... a perfect contrast to the fruit plate.
Of which Rin helps herself more to. Thanks for being a temp sugar mama, Weiss. Rin may have a family pedigree but she's always been broke herself. For... a multitude of reasons.]

[ That's what she orders, then.
See, there's the problem of not having enough money here, but if she's able to help someone, then that totally is a good use of limited resources. Though now she'll have to be more careful of how she spends the rest of her money.
Especially when she doesn't even want to play the big game hanging over everyone's heads. ]
Actually, it might be a good idea to look for someone who has more resources than others, now that I think about it.
[ And mooch off them, too. ]

Oh?
[Rin's expression turns sly as she latches on to what Weiss is saying.]
Intend to leech off of the more fortunate?
[YOU MEAN EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, RIN? At least Rin actually intends to play the game. Though she does find herself a little concerned there haven't been many people she'd consider "prey," for now. She feels like like a cat surrounded by wolves while unable to spot any mice or birds.]

You're right. I don't know how to play most of them, myself. Never had much times for games back in Midgand.
[ The song reaches its close, the last few beats drawn out long enough for one more step. When it finally ends and the other guests politely clap for the band, Rokurou offers her a little bow, playing the part of a gentleman. ]
Thank you for dancing with me. You're a great partner.

If they have much to spare, then they'd be helping those in need. I don't think it's all that bad.
[ Though it would be more of an exchange of services, if anything. Weiss has no intention of leeching off other people and taking advantage of them! ]

[ He's not the only one who bows. Weiss places her hands on her skirt and does a curtsy. ]
Thank you for inviting me. It was fun.
[ She actually had fun. The most fun she's had since arriving here, and that's saying a lot. Their masks prevent her from seeing his face in full, but she'll try and remember the hair. Voice, too. ]
Can I get my dance partner's name?

[Rin's mental gymnastics is so twisted it's difficult to tell when she's "I will be completely selfish and talk all of what I want and leave nothing else," or when she's, "life is a series of debts and repayments, and I refuse to be the one indebted to others". Perhaps it's a matter of context.]
Is that right? Forced charitable donations are acceptable?

...Are you saying you'll sell yourself for it? I mean, what else is there to offer in a place like this?
["Just tellin' it like it is" - only in the must blunt and rude way possible. Rin may like her fellow women, but she can be a thorn to pretty much everyone.]

Rokurou Rangetsu.
[ There is no rule about removing your mask once you're in the party, as far as he knows, which is why he reaches up to peel it off of his face. The removal is a relief; air cools on his skin as he brushes a few loose strands of dark hair back behind his ear. ]
This might be cheating, buuuut ... I don't think anyone else is watching. [ he shares a little grin, ] A name is easier to remember with a face, right?

[ Well then! If he's doing that, then she may as well do the same.
She's careful to remove the mask off her face, making sure she doesn't mess up her hair in the process. There's a scar that runs down the left side of her face, across her eye. ]
If this is cheating, then I'll try to keep my mouth shut. [ There's a grin right back. She may be a goody two shoes, but she's not pandering to the authorities here. ] It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Rokurou. I'm Weiss.

[ It is unfortunate that Weiss was mid-sip when Rin responds, because she sputters and almost chokes on her drink. ]
Favours aren't all about sex, you know!
[ RIN????????? Oh god, now she's so flustered. The wine may not have made her drunk, but she looks drunk now with how red she's become. ]
Intelligence, protection, other deals— that sort of thing!

We're getting closer to victory! Anyway, I promise my hands are clean!
[ So he will make grabby hands with both, though he'll only use his right hand to reach out with his index finger and thumb to. Smoosh her lips a little bit in a grabby pinch (not hard). SO. SEXY. ]

Weiss... what a nice name. I won't forget it.
[ The scar draws his attention. She had mentioned she was a huntress; had it been from a battle? Thin, precise, but her eye does not seem to be compromised. He wants to ask but finally pushes the urge back down, knowing that it's not the time or place to ask a lady about a mark on her face. There may not actually be a time or place to ask a lady about anything on her face.
Which is rather pretty. It wouldn't have mattered either way with his finding her personality to be quite charming but it's nice to see it without the mask. True enough: a name is better with a face to go with it. ]
The pleasure is all mine.
[ Since he's already enjoying playing the role of a proper gentleman—he reaches to take her hand in his, bowing his hand as he presses a light kiss against the back of it. ]

Good luck banging your head on the wall. If you don't know how it pulled us all in, I doubt you'll figure a way out. I'd like to see you in a couple months and hear about your progress.
[Rin Tohsaka has always been stubborn, but she also likes to pretend she's the type of person who gives up in any situation she already knows she won't win in. Like someone dealing with "logic" rather than "heart".]

[ Truly so sexy. Weiss was expecting it, but she makes a little squeak when he pinches her lips together, anyway.
But at least she's free in no time! ]
So... it's just one round left for both of us.
[ She's quick to roll the dice, and lands on a 6-3. . . so that means she has to sniff his mouth now. ]
Another easy one! [ She claps her hands as she looks at him, as if signalling him to open his mouth. Chop chop! ] Okay, let's get to it.

Did your lord teach you how to charm people, or is this a natural trait?
[ Because she is just that— charmed. She's not a blushing mess surprisingly, but she does let out a giddy little giggle when he kisses the back of her hand. ]
This almost feels like one of those encounters at a fancy ball, and then we'll never meet each other ever again.

You know what? I'll take that challenge. I'll see you again and give a report on my progress. If I'm still here, anyway.
[ Oh boy. Now she can't not do some research and try to find a way out of here. She's determined, at least. Not just to prove someone wrong, but to make progress and find her way back to Remnant.
Their fingerfood is pretty easy to make, at least. By the looks of it, it was just plating everything and then bringing it to them, so it doesn't take very long. Weiss pushes the plate closer to Rin. ]
Now stop starving.

Haha, must be natural.
[ Whew, girl, giving that old lord of his way too much credit. This proper behavior would be the work of his strict and terrifying mother—but he doesn't think bringing that up is going to increase his charm points. The woman would be rolling in her grave if she knew that her youngest son was tomcatting around some sex resort, so better not to think about her right now at all. ]
Let's hope that isn't the case. Let's not be strangers, alright?
