Broken Boulder and i'll be your fever

lol im torn btwn 'we should wrap up these old threads probs' and 'gdi i want this cute conversation to play out'

oh thank god ali lets him go first -- of course he does not mind sharing whatever his lover wants to know, but -- but! -- he is dying to learn anything about him. hence the game in the first place. the options swim in his head for a moment, so many he's too overwhelmed to pick. "where are you from? no, wait -- what was your childhood like?" he rolls, putting enough distance between them that he can fix his eyes on alarian's face, intense and maybe a little alarming -- but he's listening. intently. very intently.
