[Where is that ringing bell coming from? What about that whistle? Is it the kitchen? No. The garden?

Still no, but you're getting warmer.

Han is waiting for everyone on the field, whistle in his mouth, and bell on the ground (because his hand got tired of ringing the damn thing).]

Finally! Alright, 1, 2, 3.... Do we have everyone here?

[close enough. He then says easily,]

We've got a fun activity today. We're doing trust falls.

Falls. As in multiple.

I expect you guys to partner off-- and don't just stick to someone you know!

I- you-!

[NOPE. ABORT SITUATION. HE IS NOT DEALING WITH WHATEVER THIS IS TODAY.]

Forget it! Let's... let's just get this activity over with!

Of course!

[He crosses his arms over his chest.]

Fall for me whenever you’re ready~

No.

[He is not trusting those arms that easily.]

You will fall first.

[He'll humor this exercise enough to not drop the clown.]

So forward!

[He feigns a swoon, stopping himself short of the actual fall.]

Are you ready?

I- you- why- ugh!

[Clown. Clown, why???? The worst part is that he's actually getting flustered.]

Fine. I'm ready.

[He giggles at Poe’s reaction. Stop being hilarious and he’ll stop teasing you.]

Catch me, Mr. Detective!

[THERE HE GOES, taking the swoon to its full conclusion.]

[Poe squawks at the sudden movement, but catches Gogol nonetheless.]

Was.... was the um... the.... the swooning really necessary???

I simply couldn't help myself!

So.... because it amused you.

[Perhaps.]

It was just a natural reaction.

[He's still just chilling in Poe's arms.]

I.... I see?

[He.... really does not understand him. So don't mind Poe just getting a good look at Gogol while he's being more still than usual. As much as the Clown annoys him, he's also interesting to an degree, and Poe can't help but wonder why exactly Gogol acts the way he does.... but at the same time, is that an mystery he really wants to solve? It'd require far more interaction with the Clown than is probably healthy for his sanity too...]

[He looks up to him with a smirk.]

Would you like to hold me for a bit longer, or can I get up now?

I- you- just- just go!

[He did not realize he was holding him that long! With an embarrassed sputter, Gogol is getting shoved back up right.]

[He laughs as Poe pushes him back up.]

Now it's your turn!

Right, um... let's- let's get this over with.

[He's been embarrassed enough for one conversation.]

Just... just let me know when you're ready.

Ready!

[He stretches out his arms.]

I... am going to regret this.

[With an great sigh, Poe falls back, fully expecting to hit the ground.]

[And he falls!

...into Gogol's waiting arms.]

Did I surprise you?

..... You actually caught me.

[There's a fair bit of incredulity in Poe's voice.]

I figured you’d want to be in my arms, after all.

[You thought dropping you was the only way he could be a shit about this, Poe?]

[Why is the clown continuing to flirt with him???? It's really embarrassing!]

I... um....! Ah...! You..!

[SAY SOMETHING.]

No.

[........ He's so disappointed in himself. Poe tries to stand himself back up and out of the Gogol's arms.]

[Regardless of whether Poe has actually gotten up yet, Gogol lets go.]

That's a shame!

[It's a good thing Poe got out of there as fast as he could. He's... just going to ignore the last part.]

Well... that um... that... went far better than I expected it to.

[Flirting Clown > Clown dropping him..... maybe.]
