Do you use them on Alex?

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

Sometimes. Usually I send him flowers.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

You guys are so cute.

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ oh no he didn't expect him to say that ]

—Don't say it like that.

[ a pause, then he adds ]

By the way. You're invited to a board game night at Baritones. ... One of these days.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

--I am?

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

Cosmo is organizing it. ...And I'll probably ask Luther as well.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

Yeah, sure! Sounds like fun!

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ Does he look relieved that he said yes? He will never admit it ]

Good.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

[ did he actually expect klaus to say no?? ]

Yay, bonding!

[ sneaking an underwater cheek-kiss! ]

--Speaking of which, though! Why does John hate Baritones so much?

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ He lets out a noise of protest but he doesn't even try to push him away ]

Doesn't he hate everyone? He's an asshole.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

He's also very soft and fluffy right now!

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

I'm sure he'll find a way to be an asshole still.

Baritones doesn't have a good reputation as a whole. It was worse when I arrived here — I got so close to them because both Taisho and Baritones had been targeted heavily by other Units during a game. Taisho's had been an unfortunate result of not being first choice for most others, Baritones was actively disliked.

They tend to play to win and protect themselves and despite the fact everyone does, somehow that makes them monsters. They were very into the whole "oh we're villains" speeches for a while.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

That sounds like the opposite of what I hear Lilis does.

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

So he's a self-rightehous asshole who believes they should have as little regard for their lives as he does.

If he tries that bullshit while you're playing, tell him to go fuck himself. You are not sacrificing yourself for anyone else's comfort.

Understood?

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

I don't want to die. So, uh, I think we're okay on that count.

[ squeezes the arms he has slung around five's shoulders, giving him a slight side-hug ]

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ There is a small pause at that, as he considers whether he wants to push this conversation further or not. He's already said this to Luther, so ... ]

When I was thirteen.

When I got stuck in the apocalypse. I found your dead bodies while I was scavenging for food.

I had to bury you all.

I know it's inevitable that for as long as you and Luther are here I will see you die, at some point. But I'd rather avoid that for as long as possible.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

[ stares at him, horrified ]

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ yeah, like. He knows. What do you even say to that. He's quiet for a few minutes at that, and then he just sighs ]

Just keep it in mind.

What else do you have there? On your card.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

[...presses his lips to five's temple in another quiet kiss but, yes, okay, pulling out his card ]

Gotta rip someone's shirt, or do a hypnotizing song, orrr leave a mark with my claws, uh...

Do you wanna see?

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ he didn't expect the kiss and he doesn't know what to make of it, but he doesn't protest either.

He's aware that the mood shifted, and that's ... odd. To have with Klaus. Maybe it's especially fucked up that he never expects empathy from his siblings. But he hold his hand out to see the card again, just to buy himself some time ]

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

[ hands it over, and then gonna draw his fingers through five's hair while he looks it over, careful with his claws ]

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ That seems to be his limit, AND NEVERMIND THAT WHOLE HE STOPPED CARRYING HIM NOW WE RETCON HE WAS TOTALLY STILL CARRYING HIM.

But not anymore because he drops him on his ass immediately at that, and takes a few steps back ]

I'm fine.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

Ow, Fiiiive...

[ it's worse because they're surrounded by water except in THIS BUBBLE ]

Re: Valour

[homicidalrage]

[ now that's much better. he smirks at that and he seems to prefer being an asshole to showing too much vulnerability ]

You can leave a mark with your claws, provided it's small enough.

And on one condition.

Re: Valour

[ouji4board]

[ coils his tail under him, tilting his head up to look at Five ]

Yeah?
