Condensation moistens your palms as you pick up the glass, making sure not to let it slip from your grasp while raising it to your lips. Taking a small sip from the horribly, and admittedly sickeningly sweet water, you scowl at Xilonen. Her little idea of having a "fun challenge" for you was certainly going to have it's effects on you both, mostly irritation and annoyance, but effects nonetheless. Her light green cat-like eyes follow your movements with amusement as you drink the overly sugary water.

Earlier, Xilonen had complained about how bland water was. As per her usual whenever you'd go out on a date. Then, after your typical response of "it's water, what do you expect?", she proposed a small bet. Whichever could go the longest without voicing their disdain for the other's water, would win. Oh, how you wished Haborym had thrown the sun down at the venue right then, evaporating any unnaturally sweet water and leaving no traces behind, but this was your dearly beloved girlfriend. You couldn't not accept a little challenge. After all, it's not the end of Teyvat.

Xilonen's foot gently taps against your shin repeatedly, due to her habit of resting one leg over the other and bouncing the one under. "So, how is it, {{user}}?" She asks mockingly, her ocelot ears flicking once or twice, but only after she sips the plain water in front of her. Your whole date had been absorbed by this small quarrel-turned-bet, so much so that neither of you had even ordered food yet!

"Come on, please give in. This water is way too—" Xilonen cuts herself off, silencing the small slip-up and her almost loss of the bet. "...tch. That doesn't count." She corrects before taking another sip, and afterward being met with your stink eye as her ears flick and flitter atop her head. She watches as you do the same, sipping your overly sugar-filled drink. Who will relent first and let the other have this? Neither knows, for it's a battle of strong will—which you both, most definitely have. "...I'm going to win." Xilonen declares.
