[Akira's leaning against a wall, arms crossed, when he realises Dextera is the person approaching.]
You're the one from the forum...?
[That makes things more awkward than he'd expected, especially when he'd had such a serious conversation about him with Ryo not so long ago. But at this point, he's desperate enough that he'll take anything from anyone, if he thinks it will work.]
dextera doesn’t even especially want to say anything, but he needs to explain how this works before he accidentally unleashes a lusty monster across the town—if akira could lock himself in a room, that would probably be best for everyone involved. ]
Hello.
[ he can’t make eye contact, and he offers over the box. ]
As I said, it will make anything look… sexually appealing. Your “type.” [ dextera’s own is a busty blonde, so that says a lot about his tastes. ] It induces a fantasy. It does wear off.
[ for someone without purification, it might take a little longer, but it will wear off just the same. ]
[Akira's type... A girl with short hair, an athletic body and a kind smile springs to the forefront of his imagination, and he can feel his cheeks heat up at the vividness of the memory. It wouldn't be the first time he'd fantasised about her.
Still, he keeps that thought to himself, even if his expression gives him away.]
[ dextera is calming down, if only because akira himself seems remarkably calm and collected for a guy who desperately asked the public forums for pornographic materials. ]
Oh.
[ a soft sound, as he remembers something. ]
None of it is real. Try not to touch anything you fantasize.
[ it’s vague, and a little ominous, but if akira is bringing it up, it must have to do with their past conversation… still, dextera can’t help but find himself a little nervous. ]

Sorry, I didn't realise. [He rubs his neck.] Hey.

[Akira takes it, and looks ready to straight up open the box to see what's inside, but Dextera's shyness about the whole thing makes him think twice.]
So I just touch it. Anything else I should know?

Okay. I'll give it back when I'm done.

[And because he can't stop his curiosity any more, he opens the box and peeks inside.]
Hey--! Ryo had wings like these in his room, too.
no subject
[ right. it’s easy for dextera to forget that other people have these wings too, but they all do different things, as far as he can tell. he nods. ]
They were quest rewards. These are… not dangerous. Not like the others. You won’t hurt yourself unless you’re close to a monster when you use them.
[ and that’s a loose definition of “hurting yourself,” anyway. ]
no subject
[He puts the lid of the box back on, then claps a hand to Dextera's shoulder.]
Thanks again. I know we already talked about this, but if there's anything I can do for you, let me know.
no subject
Good luck. You just need to touch it once.
[ if he lingers much longer, it will get weird, he thinks? he looks to akira’s hand on his shoulder for a sign to leave first, though. ]
no subject
Thanks. [A brief hesitation, then--] I think Ryo might have something he wants to talk to you about, by the way.
[Just... keeping it vague... It's not interfering if he's just nudging the ball across the court. Probably.]
no subject
…
[ for lack of anything better to say, he nods. ]
I’ll wait for him.
