Talk to the couple on the bench

Over on the bench, the couple with the thermos are chatting under their breaths as they people watch. You walk their way, and as you arrive, they hush and stir as if getting ready to leave.

You have their attentions already, so you simply ask them, "Hello, would you rather tell me about your conversation just now or have it play back in my mind so I can hear it?"

To your delight, they select opposite options, so their whispers roll through your mind as the woman shakes her head and face palms, and the man explains, embarrassed, that they like to "people watch and guess each other's threesome scores."

"Threesome scores?" you have some ideas of what this might mean, but it seems the kind of thing to get clarified.

"What the what?" says the guy, not quite as compelled to answer your latest question, and so free to respond in classic confusion. "Why did we even tell you that?"

The woman squints at you. "Our shit really is playing back through your head right now isn't it?"

You nod and listen to the voices. You catch them mentioning a girl you remember seeing, a student they call 'wet hair,' who was obviously walking somewhere from the sports building.

The guy whispers "for you, she's.... a 4?"

"Uhuh, 6!" the girl responds. "For you...7?"

"Damn, you really know me babe!"

There's a pause, and at once they both whisper, "Skip it".

You shut out the rest, it's clear what's going on here. Well, mostly.

"What's in the thermos?"

The girl moves to unscrew the top and says "Oh that's our none of your beeswax!"

"Ugh, fine, would you rather accept my powers as awesome and move on with answering me or refuse to ever accept my powers could be real and be confused for ever?"

They freeze. "The first one."

"Yeah the first one."

"Woah."

"Holy shit dude woah is right," says the girl. "And can I just say, harsh! but I get it, totally get it. A superpower like that, you must have to expl..."

"Okay, so what's in your thermos?"

"Wine."

"Chardonnay."

So the athletic gear is not for exercise purposes.

"Okay so would you rather..." but you know better than to ask the big questions without thinking them through first.
