[No, I'm just forever stuck in ESL hell.

ESL? ETL? Who knows.

Though, Zag chuckles with a shake of his head and finds out as he gets closer that, at 5'8", there's actually some height difference between them that makes the logistics of it a little tricky if he were the one to initiate. Maybe if he gets on his tip toes?]

Has this happened to you a lot?

[lackluster]

[ There is a sizable height difference between them right now. Tippy toes might help Zag out though, if he really wanted to bridge that gap. ]

A few times here and there. I figured getting a kiss out of this is better than dealing with the pranks.

[ Unless Zag REALLY wants to be cursed instead, but still. Tartaglia isn't going to let that happen. He's already leaning close to capture the man's mouth in a simple kiss. No bells and whistles here since he doesn't think it's all that necessary. ]

[Well, Zag finds that fair, and he will meet him halfway with said tippytoes. He reaches to cradle the Harbinger's face between his hands to both steady himself and to add a little whistle to the kiss. He's never doing something half-assedly, so Zag actually hums heartily at it, unafraid of showing that he enjoys a good smooch.]

There. I'd like to think that's better than being pranked, yes.

[ If the Harbinger is caught off guard by the hands on his face, he doesn't say anything, breaking away from the kiss with a satisfied smile. It was a nice smooch all things considered; simple and mutually beneficial. ]

Saves us the trouble of dealing with the sprites, yeah. If only most people are like you — no fuss, no questions.

[ Who knew so many would be against a simple kiss??? Smh. ]

[At that, Zagreus frowns, a little concerned.

He hasn’t really faced many problems with people, just the sudden awkwardness of having to.] Did they not want to?
