Ferran snorted a laugh as he keyed a response to Nikolai. "I don't know what that meeeeeans," Ferran whined through his laughter. It sounded vaguely familiar, like something he heard in high pitched squeals in the halls with the students. He settled closer to Jo, turning to kiss her on the cheek. Two could play that game. "'Bout the ship thing, that is. I know what cuddling is. And you only say that about us 'cause we're telepaths." Ferran lightly drummed his fingers against Joelle's forehead. He knew it was more than that, at least on his end. He paid attention. He saw things about Nikolai no one else did. Well, the same could be said the other way too which was an interesting thought...
"Oh no," Ferran shook his head. That was out of the question. Ferran might not be able to contain himself drunk and trying to explain what your intoxicated self did was just awful. "You can have me for cuddles."
