[Yep. Be wary of this one, Luna, as he sneaks up on you when you least expect it. For now, he's offering you a coy smile before feeling it fade at the "pink" and "shaving legs" comment.]

Still teasing me with that, are we? Really, my lady, it is most unbecoming of you.

[Meaning: you're injuring his masculinity, Luna. Keep doing it.]

As a matter of fact; no I haven't, nor will I ever be shaving any part of my body. I do not have a pink car back home. It is red.

[ Just seeing that shit eating smile fading, even a little, is reward enough. So, it still bothers him, does it? Her own smile remains. ]

But it is not teasing. I am genuinely concerned for your state of mentality. There is nothing wrong with pink, nor shaving your legs. Should you choose to do so, you've my full support.

[ What would you do without the support of the Oracle, Ardyn? ]

Now, now. There is no time like the present, Chancellor. Are you truly that afraid to get in touch with your more feminine side?

[He knows you're teasing him and probably enjoying it too. Oh, how he wishes he was back in his own land with that knife in his hand once more...]

There is nothing wrong with my mentality. Do not question my state of being again, as it is quite pointless.

[See that? He's annoyed and pissed off. Well done, Luna.]

I am sure there isn't for those who wish to do so. I am not one of those men.

[Meaning: He intends to keep his macho charm intact. Whatever that might be dressed as a hobo space tramp.]

If I wanted to get in touch with my feminine side you'd think I would dress in pink and wear women's clothes, yet I do not. Nor do I seek to wear women's perfume and stockings. This conversation is very silly and I wish it to cease. The cars are what we are here for, are we not?

You are a bit touchy today, aren't you?

[ he deserves this and everything he gets. Her same placid smile remains in tact, even as he sounds more irritated. ]

But how do you know if you have never explored that side of yourself? Never say never.

[ She wishes that too Ardyn. Especially if she feels as good as she does now, because if you had a knife now things would turn out a LOT differently. ]

That's just silly. You don't need to wear women's clothing to get in touch with yourfeminine side. Perhaps you simply just need to find yourself period. As for this conversation coming to an end, there are many things that I wish would come to an end as well buy that just isn't in the cards.

[ She lifts a hand and points at him. ]

We are, but I am most certainly not going anywhere together with the likes of you.

Touchy? Perhaps. Maybe it's because you keep bringing this up every time we meet. Sordid rumours which tell no truth about me whatsoever.

[He's bitter and everyone knows it. Maybe he doesn't like seeing you smile at him like this.]

I don't have any wish to explore that side because I'm fine with who and what I am. I'm a man who likes his rugged and handsome looks.

[Boasting? Yes. Talk about over-inflated ego.]

What's the matter, my lady? Afraid you'll lose against me? Quite understandable, of course, since these cars are far too masculine for a dainty princess. Perhaps, you might find handling such a car to be....difficult.

I cannot help it if your feminine side is your weakness.

[ She went there. Her head tips to the side slightly, and her smile only widens, even if only to further annoy him. ]

I will pray that you become less insecure with yourself as time goes on.

[ As if to gesture, her hands move into proper praying position, palms flat against one another and fingers pointed towards the sky.

...That next bit is a little annoying, though. Her? Dainty? ]

Oh, I am positive that I could and would beat you. That is not even part of the equation. Besides, these things look easy enough to handle.

My dear lady, it is not my weakness I can assure you.

[He offered her a soft chuckle, more laughing at her comment than anything else. Laughing it off seemed to work?]

My insecurity is nothing to do with you, so I will ask you nicely to keep your pretty little nose out of my affairs.

[So there?]

A challenge? Then, let us rise against it and see who will be pretty in pink after all.

[His amber eyes flashed dangerously, almost coaxing her to get into one of the ATVs and start the engine. Ardyn clambered into a red number and looked around at the dashboard, or what constituted for one. It was crude but surprisingly comfortable for an off-road vehicle.]

If that is what you believe.

[ Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. ]

But you admit that you are insecure?

[ Priorities! A brow arches, and suddenly she wishes she would have kept her thoughts to herself. Except now she has to put her money where Hee mouth is. So she climbs onto a black ATV, giving the controls a once over. ]

Very well. Are we wagering anything?

[ Go big or go home.... ]

[His amber eyes locked onto her for a good few moments before glancing away. What was she trying to reveal in him? A weakness? A chink in his armour? He wouldn't give her one.]

No, I am admitting nothing.

[Stubborn, hobo.]

Oh, a wager? A delightful idea. Hm, how about we wager our clothes? I have to wear yours if I lose and you have to wear mine if you lose. How does that sound?

[He knows he's risking a lot but he knows he'll win this, right?]

[ Lunafreya merely stares back, feeling a sense of pride when he glances away. Her steady gaze remains on him, and once again her smile widens. ]

I see. Truly a shame.

[ Lame. ]

...There is a problem with that. My clothes would be far too small for you, would they not? And yours would be too large for me.

[ Except at least she COULD wear his. He'd just rip hers to shreds and no one wants to see that. ]

But if you are truly set on that idea, I suppose we could always go purchase a dress of my choosing, should I win. And high heels.

[He can see that smile on your face, Luna. It practically infuriates him.]

High heels too? Aren't you going a little too far?

[Oh gods. Was she serious? Of course she was. He couldn't exactly get out of it now, could he? No. He would do this and win. How could he afford to lose? No way would he be seen in high heels and a dress. How preposterous!]

Very well. Since, I will be winning anyway, I feel that seeing you in my fedora might improve your own sense of fashion.

[Bitch.]

[ Good. ]

No, because if you are to dress like me, you have to wear heels.

[ She shifts a little, showing him her own foot that is, in fact, covered in a high heel. See, Ardyn? ]

Oh yes, of course. I am certain I could pull your look off regardless. But we need not worry about that.

[ Hope you learn to appreciate the pain of high heels, Ardyn. She starts her ATV up. ]

How far are we going, hm?

Very well. I am not a man to back down after a challenge has been issued, no matter how preposterous it is.

[See? It pisses him off that he's actually pushed himself into this. High heels? Whatever next? He started up his own ATV and gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than intended.]

Hm, let us say a circuit around the course?
