[ Jim helps him back onto his feet, still not entirely convinced that Blue can stand on his own, which is why he doesn't let go. Well, that and the kiss was nice and he's enjoying the closeness that lingers after.

The question gets an amused huff from him, and his smile widens. ] Only if you forget to breathe through it. Either that, or I was really good.

[firstroar]

Oh-- [silly. forgetting a basic function like that.

...still.]

Probably...both. [though...Blue doesn't have any other benchmarks, so he's biased. he's already biased, liking Jim as a person in general. he's tremendously patient and kind, keen to learning but not at another's expense.

and he's warm.]

I think I. I understand the appeal.

[winscenario]

[ Jim's smile is soft, very much endeared by Blue's honesty. He's... really cute, and Jim likes that he seems almost unaware of the concept of embarrassment, at least in the traditional sense that most people feel. ]

Mm, maybe next time I'll remind you. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

[ AKA he's up for kissing Blue again sometime, unless he tells him he doesn't want to. ]

Yeah? So that felt good, I take it.

[firstroar]

[it's hard to be embarrassed about the things he doesn't know, and it's especially easy to evade when Blue frames himself as so othered from things like this. shame is only born in things he'd feel he ought to know, after all.

next time prompts a fresh bloom of warmth, coloring his features and pulling a corner of his mouth upward.]

Yes. I liked that, thank you. I'll...do better. Next time.

[winscenario]

[ It's hard for Jim to be embarrassed about most anything, honestly. That said, he does like it when others get embarrassed, especially when that comes with that soft fluster like the one coloring Blue's cheeks right now. ]

I'm sure. [ He leans in for a last quick peck, this time on Blue's cheek, then carefully lets go of him, paying attention as to whether he can stand on his own two feet now. ]

Anyway, where were you headed from here?

[firstroar]

[Jim gets some of the bashfulness he was looking for with that last peck, giving Blue cause to duck his head - look, he also has to watch here he's stepping when let go!]

Aa, the kitchen. [gotta try and get his single calorie for the day.

a beat. he glances upward:] These...are they...hanging in the entire station? I'm...not sure I have the stamina...

[winscenario]

[ Mm, sure thing buddy. Jim will even pretend to believe that and everything. ]

Alright, then. I'll walk with you.

[ He offers his hand, or arm, to Blue, whichever of the two he wants to take, given his touch-based abilities. He's about to answer the question when Blue adds that last murmured bit, and he can't help burst into laughter, head tipping back just a little bit. ]

Sorry— sorry. Yeah, it's a little all over the station. But you don't have to kiss anyone you don't want to, and even if you decide to do it, you don't have to kiss them the same way we kissed. Could just be a cheek kiss, or forehead kiss. That should be fine, too.

[firstroar]

[Blue smiles small and accepts the arm, though his expression shifts to mild surprise at all the caveats. so many options with people here!]

...Duly noted... [that's a relief; there's far too many people still a stranger to him for this brand of hijinks to accommodate without great discomfort.

honestly...no wonder so many don't get much done beyond kissing in the downtime...then again, without psionics, how else are they supposed to feel more connected? it's starting to make a bit more sense in his head.

and on down the corridor and to the kitchen they go, a slow pace as dictated by the old Mu, off to get that calorie.]
