... Then how do you know if you're winning?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?That's not the point.
The point is to like- tell a story. It's collaborative.
Like- I say the setting is... lets go with- a spaceship. Orbiting a planet.
My character is a engineer- yours is the pilot. And then we go from there- maybe something happens! A freak- solar storm! Unlike anything we had encountered!
Then we go through what happens next and so on.
Y'know... have fun. It's a story. Dice-rolling's when you want to bring some mechanics into it, to have a sense of challenge to it and make it more of a game.
That's when you see whether you succeed or don't succeed, based on chance...
The "winning" is being part of it in the first place.

Actually, that's how turians "kiss". It's usually just a firm press, but uh... some people hold it longer.
I mean, if I held my mouth open the right way, we could sort of kiss if you want to try the human way, but we'd have to both rinse our mouths out right afterwards so neither of us can get rashes.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I mean, from what I understand it's a pretty minor risk. If that's what you want, I mean.

We— yeah we can— totally, yeah. It's no problem, yeah.
