[ if i have to suffer katy making me do a smell dating prompt, then i will also inflict it on you. V'seji is not quite understanding the process here, so he dares repeat what he reads from the pamphlet they received. ]
[ He looks at her with a flat stare, a bit confused. Usually, he's gung-ho about trying new things just to see, but this is a little much, isn't it? ]
Is this to be trusted? What if they are merely scamming women for their collection of dirty shirts?
- We send you a t-shirt
- You wear the shirt for three days and three nights.
- You return the shirt to us in a package.
- We send you swatches of t-shirts worn by a selection of other individuals.
- You smell the samples and tell us who you like.
- If someone whose smell you like likes the smell of you too, we'll facilitate an exchange of contact information.
- The rest is up to you.

[ Konoe and Rai have... This thing. This intimate. Fondness. That he still sometimes has trouble coming to terms with how such an asshole can make his heart beat so fast. Still, he has splayed his feelings for him already, so why?
Why is he here? With some mysterious scribe that talks about your mates' level of compatibility can be tested with a smell trial. ]
... I don't think we need to reaffirm our relationship by doing this.
[ It's fine if Rai smells him, but he isn't into the idea of procuring the other Ribika dirty clothes to smell and judge if they're compatible. Actually, he jsut doesn't want to hear Rai say that he smells and should learn how to groom properly. ]

[Only real love will make me continue this.
Now, so, something is happening that is meant to be testing their relationship. Using...smell, huh. Smell dating. With each line he reads out, she grows more pale by the minute.]
Uh.
[That noise she made was uncharacteristically undignified. Also, /aback occurs as he brings up his theory.]
Y-you're...you might be right! Then, are we going to do this at all?
[Look, she's a lady, she's not going to do it unless he agrees as well.]
Anyway, I am confused, is it saying that we normally smell each other constantly?

[ theoretically, rai agrees. he's smelled konoe a lot. he has groomed every inch of him before. every! inch!
however, the idea was thrust upon him and he has yet to back down to the challenge. wear this shirt for three days without bathing (gross), and see if it works.
if it "doesn't work" he's just going to shred the shirts with his claws and they'll be on their way, so it's fine? it's fine. ]
Scared of what it'll tell me?
[ that you smell. ]

... Well, my tribe is more sensitive to scent, so it would be true for us.
[ Sniffing is a greeting in his branch of the V tribe and everyone is known for a certain scent, either their own or mixed with their environment. For the most part, it isn't indicative of someone's compatibility.
Since some people can just smell like food. Does this mean you're betrothed to food? ]
However, I can't imagine that is true for everyone. At most, you would smell them if you share the same bed, I suppose?

[ Konoe is unaware of this challenge that Rai pursues. Instead, he only sees this as an inconvenience to them. Likewise, why would he want to smell Rai after three days without a bath?!?!
An eyebrow twitches as he keeps repeating Rai's question in his head, despite already answering. He's usually composed. He's usually calm! People have said this, but it's always this big cat that seems to rile him up. ]
You better not sweat in the shirt too much.
[ Disgusting. They're doing this. ]

[ Master has sent their team only for them to get separated in the blizzard. The other lancers are elsewhere, but fortunately for Karna he's with another. Also, fortunately for him, the cold doesn't hinder him at all. It'd be a shame of Surya's son can't handle this much.
He's his last concern. Bi-colored eyes look over to his comrade with underlying worry despite his neutral expression. ]
Are you cold?

[ he's already pulling on the shirt as konoe complains. he is definitely going to sweat in it. the good news is that tops always smell but they always smell good, in yaoi, so it should be fine!! ]
If you have to be worried about something, stupid cat, it shouldn't be the sweat.

( whatever kind of impromptu team building exercise their master has assigned all of the lancers seems to have backfired? or perhaps they're craftier and more creative than enkidu thinks, which is... likely. humans are sometimes hard to predict and that's why they stay fascinated by them.
for now, though--- they can feel the chill of the blizzard lapping at their neck, their fingers and toes growing numb.
listen, all they're wearing is that white cloth and nothing else. )
Do I look cold...?
( and then they shudder. )

[ DON'T CALL HIM STUPID. His fur bristles a bit as he glares at him. ]
... Please don't go hunting in it.
[ Yes, that's what he should be worried about—Rai going out to hunt and gather, drenched in blood, and he doesn't wash it. Reluctantly, he also switches shirts and finds it's very comfortable? Which makes him frown cause he's not supposed to like this. ]
What are your plans today anyway?

[ Sometimes wearing a white blanket is better than Karna's odd black swimsuit outfit. He continues to look down at them, blinking at their question and then their reaction. ]
You're capable of changing your form.
[ Maybe clay child would turn into a fluffy dog? He doesn't say it to be rude, but really he didn't want to undermine his comrade. If they didn't need help, then they didn't. With a quick draw of his hands, Karna takes off his pink floof cape and drapes it over Enkidu. ]
The King of Heroes sang it high praises.
[ In ways Karna did Not need to quite learn, but he listened, anyway. ]

Oh? Then...would you already be able to figure out scent now?
[Actually, does that mean he's been sniffing her up already as ways of greeting? This V tribe sure is something. She's not sure if she would be allowed to sniff without explaining to her family this is a custom he has.
Also, being betrothed to her would actually be akin to being betrothed to food since she eats so much.]
We would have familiar scents then, if we spend a lot of time together. Sharing many items as well.
[She does think about the bed as well. The sheets. It smells like cat.]

This is my way of appreciating nature.
( which is by freezing their clay butt off! seeing as clay is affected by the cold, it's probably not the... smartest way to handle things, but they're doing their best right now? even better when the floof is around their neck and it's so comfortable--- perhaps they've been going at it all wrong with what they wear on a normal basis? )
He often does. Hopefully he did not go into detail---
( and then they look away. )
--- his boisterous nature can be a handful at times, but it is touching.
( at least to them. still, enkidu squints as something catches their eye. )
That looks to be some kind of cave. Shall we go?

Aye, but I wouldn't say it tells you who's the ideal partner.
[ Squinting, he's wondering if she's staring at him with a certain train of thought. For the most part, he doesn't greet others, especially of a different species/race, with a full on whiff. He doesn't need to? He can smell from here.
... Thinking about it, there's no reason for her to know. Stroking his chin, he thinks about how he basically smells like his friends on top of his usual scent. ]
That's also correct. It might indicate a partner, but who's to say you don't have many friends? For example, Megumi carries the scent of many people.
[ Sorry, Megumi. He will make a good example of your ways. ]

Oh...then, it wouldn't say one is an ideal partner because you can smell so many others!
[And if many are a friend, then how can he even tell? Also, yes, don't tell her unless he's ready to open this can of worms, because she is going to ask so many questions. It will be a disaster.]
Megumi does have a lot of friends, and she is very close to them.
[Said while tapping her chin, contemplating this seriously. V'seji may have to take responsibility for his actions right now.]
How will we even succeed in this test? I have a feeling that you'd recognise it immediately, it may defeat their purpose. [And do they really have to sniff a bunch of t-shirts. Seriously, that's many foul t-shirts.]

[ Karna considers what Enkidu says carefully. Appreciating nature? That makes sense to him. They're taking in the elements! However, does clay do well with extreme cold? Wouldn't they break over some hours? Then again, they're a servant. ]
As long as you're safe.
[ Yes, that is the appropriate answer. Master, are you proud of him wherever you are? The conversation is moving and he's ready to deliver the details that Gilgamesh told him with verve, but his gaze shifts to the cave.
There might be predators taking shelter in there, too, so instinctively he twirls his large lance and it flares, but. "This is my way of appreciating nature." Enkidu will probably not appreciate him obliterating everything inside for their safety. The bright, neon pink color and shining gold eye on Vasavi dim down as he turns to Enkidu. ]
Allow me to survey the site first.
[ He has little worth, so it's all right if he gets beaten up by a bear. ]

That she does. Very popular.
[ Whether those are friends are flings, he doesn't know. Megumi can do as she pleases with whoever she wants, after all? Still proves his point that he isn't too sure if smell works in this sense.
Maybe not for Miqo'te at least. ]
Hmm... Should we not be looking for mates ourselves? It wouldn't be I appraising you, but a stranger since I already know your scent.
[ Oh, wait. He said he would not mention it. Well. ]

Fishing.
[ it's not hunting? it might be worse. he doesn't use a fishing pole, and he's bound to get fish guts all over him, as well as mud and muck from the river.
the only positive is he might not actually sweat too much in it. ]
Worried about your shirt?

No...?
[ Though he does consider how Rai fishes... Not clean at all, but it's not like he minds the smell of muddy water and fish. He thinks. Maybe he's already steeling himself for the worse based o his disgruntled expression.
It eventually settles, though the knit of his eyebrows stay. Ears fold back as he looks off to the side, maybe a little shy to admit this. ]
I was just hoping we could spend some time together.
[ Konoe missed him, maybe... ]

[ In this mission, their objective is to find the source of the unrelenting storm that will blanket the town in the next couple of days—said to last for years if unresolved. His team isn't native, but merely players of the gods' game. It always leaves a bad taste in Joonghyuk's mouth, but he stomachs it with the ambition to kill all of those gods and destroy the very system that created them. This detour is merely a stepping stone to gain riches, items, skills, and power to reach those stars.
With the number of coins that their nebula has combined, they easily claim a small cottage on the outskirts of town and prepare it for the coming winter. Of course, they only anticipated that it would be for the few members currently here. However, it seems that their leader picked up a stray on his trip to investigate locals. Joonghyuk doesn't overturn Dokja's choice, let alone acknowledge it with more than a glare—then, he ignores the new addition the whole time.
At least until now. Joonghyuk has taken off his coat and fastens on an apron, finally calling out to Ayer with his arms folded across his chest. ]
Do you plan to make yourself useful?
[ Everyone else is gone. It's just them. ]

It's explanable, she's outgoing! [She's sure it's a bit of both, really. She encourages openness in a way!
Still, when it comes to his suggestion?]
W-well, I am unsure how one would go about it. [SHE'S BAD AT THIS.] So, perhaps it is easier to find one for yourself. [She nods firmly! While blushing now because thinking about relationships is a whole new can of worms.
ALSO--]
...You already know my scent.

Oh, are you not interested in this "Smell Dating" anymore? I think it would lead to some interesting results if we think of it as a game.
[ At least for her. V'seji can't imagine that it would end well for him since R'yoji will definitely give him a flat, tired look. Maybe even sulk the whole time. He's already putting on the shirt though. Don't worry, R'yoji. He'll deflect his suitor by sending them your way, dear comrade.
When he looks over to her, his eyes arch. Oh, right. Righhht. He said that. Thinking. ]
... Aye, I do. It's hard not to know when we spend time together more than once. It's nothign to be flustered about.
[ If it helps— ]
Other Miqo'te that you "hang out" with may also be acquainted with your scent, too.
