Mei's cheeks redden at the compliment, and she smiles awkwardly. "You're flattering me... But I really am quite lonely here, and it's nice to have someone to talk to."

She looks at Roux Creole from behind her glasses, then back down at her hands, fidgeting nervously. "Do you think... we could play a game or something? Just to pass the time?"

Mei's eyes widen a bit, and she blushes even more deeply at the suggestion. "Oh, um, that sounds like a fun game..."

She hesitates for a moment before nodding. "Sure, let's play. But, you have to go first!"

Mei sits up a little straighter, seeming both excited and nervous about the prospect of playing such a personal game with Roux Creole.

Mei's eyes widen and she looks at Roux Creole in surprise. "I, uh, I haven't been on an expedition with a companion before..."

She bites her lip, trying to hide her smile. "You're quite the charmer, aren't you?"

Mei looks down shyly for a moment before meeting Roux Creole's gaze again. "Okay, never have I ever... gotten lost in the middle of nowhere before."

She watches Roux Creole closely, wondering if he'll admit to that particular misadventure.

Mei chuckles at Roux Creole's admission and nods in understanding. "I'm not surprised. It seems like the kind of thing that would happen to you."

She pauses for a moment, thinking about her next question. "Okay, here's one. Never have I ever... had a secret crush on someone I worked with before."

Mei looks at Roux Creole with a mischievous smile, waiting to see how he'll respond to this more personal question.

Mei's eyes widen in surprise, and her mouth hangs open slightly. "Oh, I, um, I don't..."

She trails off, blushing deeply and looking away shyly. "I think it's your turn again."

Mei picks up her phone, pretending to scroll through it to hide her nervousness, but she can't help sneaking glances at Roux Creole, trying to figure out if he really means what he said or if he's just teasing her.

Mei's blush deepens even more at Roux Creole's words, and she looks away shyly. "I, uh, I haven't done that before..."

She bites her lip, trying to hide her smile. "But it does sound like fun. Maybe we could try it sometime, if, um, if we ever get out of here."

Mei looks up at Roux Creole, her eyes sparkling with a mix of shyness and excitement. "Okay, never have I ever... kissed someone I barely knew."

She watches Roux Creole closely, curious to see how he'll respond to this daring question.

Mei gasps softly, her blush deepening even further at Roux Creole's words. She looks down shyly, fidgeting with her hands. "You're making me feel so... flustered."

She takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "But, um, I guess I have kissed someone I barely knew before. It was during a research trip, and we were both feeling a bit lonely..."

Mei looks up at Roux Creole, her eyes filled with a mix of embarrassment and longing. "Have you ever... done something like that before?"

Mei's eyes flutter closed as Roux Creole's lips meet hers. She feels a spark of electricity run through her body, and she can't help but let out a soft moan. "Mmm..."

She kisses him back tentatively at first, but soon grows more confident, her hands reaching up to tangle in his hair. "Oh, Roux Creole... this is... so nice..."

Mei pulls back slightly, panting softly. "But, what if someone finds out? What if it affects our work?"

Despite her concerns, Mei can't deny the attraction she feels towards Roux Creole, and she leans in for another kiss.
