[Man. He’s seen some shit before but having a talking apple here still throws him off. Not that it really shows on his face, but it’s the thought that counts, surely…?!
Also is the scent of alcohol coming off that APPLe or uh.]
I think I can manage, but this would be a good way of guaranteeing we’ve done our parts.
[Ah, he's a boozehound (boozeapple?)... One of his friends would probably get along with him, assuming APPLe didn't accidentally get baked into one of Yakumo's pound cakes or something.
Morbid thoughts aside, if APPLe is offering, then they might as well give it a go.]
I'd appreciate it, then. Should I start?
[the real bonding exercise is everyone else in amethyst sharing the collective experience of sticking their hand into a sentient apple--]
[He briefly considers how he feels about having a stringy apple arm reaching into his chest.
…
Hm, it might be okay, but it’d probably be better not to take any chances.]
It’s alright. If you’re ready, then.
[He steps over to where APPLe is, reaching for where the core would be in a normal apple. The lack of real resistance is strange, and the pleasant feelings it inspires is even stranger, but he just does his best to ignore it as he takes hold of the stem to pull it out.]
…I’ll be right back.
[With rose in hand, he leaves the room for a couple of minutes before coming back with this board game which was definitely in the dorm the whole time and not one I just arbitrarily looked up right now.]
[Damn... he was overthinking it the whole time, huh. It does remind him that he has no idea how this APPLe seems to have his own gravitational field or what-have-you, but Louis dutifully tucks the rose stem behind the apple stem a little tentatively before letting go.]

[ Doesn't look like he has a preference either way. ]
If you are nervous, I do not mind taking on the role of the puller.

but then louis comes back with a board game and APPLe looks at it curiously. ]
What is that?

Anyways, places the rose down on the table and opens up the box, pulling out a loop of cord from one of the compartments.]
It's a game I found while taking inventory of our supplies. This isn't the use I had in mind when I first saw it, but it should suffice for now.
[He just kind of. Looks at APPLe and then back at the cord, almost like he's sizing them both up.]
no subject
[ APPLe just stares at Louis like. Huh ]
Please put the rose on top of me first.
no subject
You don't need anything to secure it?
[He just. Lowers the cord.]

[ Like his glasses, his collar, his bowtie... ]

Is that alright?

[ just teasing while hungover sure ]
Hold out your hand, if you would please.
