crystal;

Abby, [hello,] what's your opinion on arm wrestling?

[armd]

That you shouldn't challenge me to it.

[grindset]

Trash talking noted and approved. Would you, perhaps, be interested in wrestling the arm of my research partner?

[armd]

Yeah.

(Wait,) Why? Are you gonna be watching, or something?

[grindset]

Well, yes, obviously. I was also thinking, ehh... it might be entertaining for all involved if the both of you take turns trying to insult each other while you're doing it.

[armd]

(...)

Is this a sex thing.

[grindset]

For someone, probably.

[armd]

Are there gonna be bets on who wins?

[grindset]

Whatever inspires you to greater enthusiasm.

[armd]

(For the record:) This is fucking weird, but I'll do it.

[grindset]

Try to describe arm wrestling in a way that doesn't make it sound, at minimum, a little bit weird. Or any sport, for that matter.

[armd]

Fair.

Who is your partner, exactly?

[grindset]

Jayce. Tall, dark hair, big shoulders—you might have seen him at the anvil now and then.

[armd]

Oh.

Does he know that you go around soliciting arm wrestles for him?

[grindset]

Not yet.

[armd]

Should I yell SURPRISE right before I challenge him?

[grindset]

Nothing's stopping you. But leaping from the bushes into his path might put him off. He's, eh... little bit jumpy.

[armd]

Okay. Guess I'll keep my eyes peeled for you, then.
