[All Mando will see of Riz is one small hand snaking out over the edge of the top bunk to accept the offered cup of coffee, before it retreats back to its bunk lair.
Is Riz going to drink his coffee laying down? Fuck off, he can do what he wants!!
And sure, Riz had talked about this to his dad before but that had been basically half a year ago (has he really been here that long already? horrific) and things haven't changed. His dad said they might, that it was okay wasn't there yet, but months later, Riz still doesn't get it. He doesn't get why everybody cares so much about kissing. It just looks wet and a little gross to him. He doesn't want anyone else's tongue to touch his tongue. The very thought makes him feel slightly queasy.
But clearly, that isn't a concern for anyone else! It's not just the bad kids. Even the friends he has made here care about that sort of thing. And people on the network do and talk about who is and isn't hot. And Riz just. Still doesn't get it. Doesn't want to get it, he thinks, but also doesn't want to not get it?]
It's weird.
[The response is soft and a little sulky almost. And it is very possible the only reason Riz is even responding is because he cannot actually see Mando. And Mando cannot see him. Almost makes it feel more like he is talking to himself.]
