"Not the worst" feels more right, actually. [ but he will stop leaning into his space and just drop down, now, slumping into the couch and leaving pretty much no space between them. equally dryly: ] High compliment, though. Thanks.

[ ... there's just a moment where there's a flash of mischief on his face - blink and you'll miss it. as revenge from thursday, maybe, after an absolutely disastrous weekend, with the remains of an effect firmly in place, vax moves quickly - he darts upwards, puts his right hand on emet's further cheek, then pulls his face close and gives him a big, fat kiss on the closer cheek, squishing his face a little bit in the process.
[--and then he's cut off by that cheek smooch, that word shifting to a startled and decidedly undignified sound. he would undoubtedly be embarrassed by it, if he were really registering that at the moment.

[just take the compliment "that's not much of a compliment the way he said it" it COUNTS.]
Fine. Say what you will.

he laughs, though, a soft chuckle in his chest, and tips his head, raising an eyebrow, pleased. ]
Are you capable of accepting something?
