POLKA DOT: Sky’s the limit, huh?
POLKA DOT: Good to know…
POLKA DOT: Small stuff seems pretty nice to me…
POLKA DOT: Being this close is a good start.
POLKA DOT: But…
POLKA DOT: How’s that?
WILLOW: Really…cheesy.
WILLOW: But I like cheesy! It’s sweet…
WILLOW: It helps take the edge off, you know?
POLKA DOT: So, uh…what else would this kind of thing look like for you?
POLKA DOT: Anything you’ve been itching to try?
WILLOW: Hm…
WILLOW: Let me think on that for a second.
WILLOW: We could play a little game.
POLKA DOT: A game?
WILLOW: Mhm. We ask each other questions back and forth.
WILLOW: Like…getting to know each other that way.
WILLOW: I’ll even let you ask me anything, no matter how weird.
WILLOW: If something’s too much, we’re both allowed to pass, and I’ll respect anything you don’t want me to ask you…
WILLOW: All I ask is that we’re truthful with each other.
WILLOW: How’s that?
POLKA DOT: Yeah…think I can go for that.
WILLOW: Awesome!
WILLOW: I’ll let you start. Let’s do…rounds of three. Three questions at a time.
POLKA DOT: Good to know…
You do your best to shoot a flirtatious look back at her, feeling more than a little silly over it in the process.
POLKA DOT: Small stuff seems pretty nice to me…

POLKA DOT: But…
You not-so-sneakily extend a wing, the virtual pet placing her hand in it. The plastic’s texture is smooth with gentle ridges along the fingers, making a somewhat satisfying noise as it makes contact. With as much finesse as you can muster, you bring her hand up to your beak for a quick smooch- causing a flurry of beeps out of your friend in the process.
POLKA DOT: How’s that?
WILLOW: Really…cheesy.
WILLOW: But I like cheesy! It’s sweet…
WILLOW: It helps take the edge off, you know?
She scoots in a little closer so you could both get comfortable holding hands, leaning over onto your shoulder just a smidge.
POLKA DOT: So, uh…what else would this kind of thing look like for you?
POLKA DOT: Anything you’ve been itching to try?
WILLOW: Hm…
WILLOW: Let me think on that for a second.
You can just barely get a glimpse at her screen from this angle, looking over to see the character on her screen in what you can only guess is an exaggerated thoughtful expression.
WILLOW: We could play a little game.
POLKA DOT: A game?
WILLOW: Mhm. We ask each other questions back and forth.
WILLOW: Like…getting to know each other that way.

WILLOW: Awesome!
Willow lets out an excited chirp, giving your wing a squeeze.
WILLOW: I’ll let you start. Let’s do…rounds of three. Three questions at a time.
