Of course you are. And the most sexy. [ Fabian says, though he apparently can't help but add: ] After me, of course.
[ Does it help if he's at least saying that last part in a seductive whisper? Maybe? Does that fix ruining your own compliment for someone else with your own ego? Who knows.
At least he does seem like he's going to help Gorgug here, since he's already reaching for the cutting knife. He gestures for Gorgug to grab one of the baguettes - Fabian could, but he doesn't want to let go of the other's hand just yet - so Gorgug can hold the bread while he cuts it. Teamwork.
They have other matters to discuss as they work on it, after all. ]
I really like the idea though. [ And judging by the look on Fabian's face? He really does. The smile on his face seems so genuine, and kind of sweet.. Like an excited kid.. ] Do you think you could steer a whole ship though?
[ They are definitely thinking in different sizes here.. Sorry, Gorgug. Time to test your water vehicle proficiency. ]
[ He's the most sexy... after Fabian, naturally. Gorgug can accept it!
But he was getting distracted from the actual food, surprising as that might be. Fabian reaching for the knife does call his attention to it, though, and he follows Fabian's gesture, grabbing the baguette and... thinking he should let go of Fabian's hand. Which he might start to do, unless Fabian says no and takes it back.
Which Gorgug might say, 'I'm holding it one-handed?', but accept with a chuckle in his throat. He can do that! He'll just hold it to the small table, and hopefully Fabian won't bump his hand.
But as for other potential issues: like steering. ]
Well-- yeah. [ Does he think so? sure! ] You steered your dad's ship in hell. I can steer a ship too. I steer my vanboat.
[ Which is the same thing no matter how Fabian may want to protest. Sorry, but it's true!!! Live with the facts! Are you going to argue with this face smiling back at you, Fabian?
[ He is definitely taking back that hand. It's his now!! Not allowed to let go, Gorgug! It'd be one thing if the other did it before Fabian got the idea of doing this one-handed into his mind, but it's too late now. He's settled on this plan. He is taking back Gorgug's hand, and thankfully high dexterity on Fabian's end allows him to cut the bread just fine without accidentally cutting Gorgug's hand along with it. You can keep your fingers for now, Gorgug. ]
That's not the same.
[ Sorry, bro. Even on a very romantic date Fabian will protest that. It's a matter of principle! ]
I mean-- Yes, technically the Hangvan is a boat right now. But that's still different from a ship! If we would be on a ship together, it would be one far larger than the van!
[ Well, a lot of boats can be larger than the Hangvan--they've got large hulls, for the most part. Gorgug would be willing to learn how to steer a boat to have a fun time with Fabian (and they could even invite their friends!), but giving it some thought, while pushing open the baguette so that Fabian can butter it when he's ready: ]
[ Gorgug sees the action stopped, the turn of Fabian's head in his vision, and so he looks back at Fabian. Surprised, if less than him; more curious, though he does turn that inward as he considers what he just said and decided. ]
--Yeah? [ He doesn't need that long to ponder. ] Boats are cool. We can go together and hang out with our friends.
[ Despite the fact that they're talking about this while on a date, Fabian doesn't protest the idea of going with their friends. Especially since Riz did say he would want to be Fabian's first mate and all. Leaving him out would just be cruel then. Fabian isn't like that.
The bridge of his nose wrinkles though when Gorgug mentions fishing, Fabian's attention momentarily turned away from what he was doing with the bread. ]
Fishing takes forever though. It's boring.
[ .. a beat, and then he has to admit, though not exactly enthusiastically: ]
But it is the only way to eat fish while out there. [ And who would Fabian be if he didn't eat fish, Gorgug.. Look at your poor pathetic boyfriend, could you deny him his fish dishes?? ]

What if you teach me how to ride a boat?
[ Wouldn't that be the most fun? ]
no subject
Mostly because he has to turn his head so he can actually properly look at Gorgug with his eye. A little surprised. Nothing too shocked, but-- ]
You'd want to learn?
[ --still sounding a little breathless, for some reason. Just a touch. ]
I mean-- You're serious about wanting to go out on a ship together sometime?
no subject
--Yeah? [ He doesn't need that long to ponder. ] Boats are cool. We can go together and hang out with our friends.
[ Hmmm. Oh, you know- ]
Should we pick up fishing?
[ Would that be any fun? ]

Gorgug's quiet, thinking about it, and then figures: ]
I can make us a bot to fish for us.
[ ... ]
... bear. [ ... ] Bird.
[ Of course his brain is going through fish-catching animals here... sorry, lunch. Gorgug is becoming distracted. ]
