[hopping closer, cocking his head]

And...let him think you broke into someone's house to get laid?

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ ...It made sense to him for a second, now it doesn't. Grimaces. ]

I don't know, maybe? It wasn't something I was thinking about in the memory, so no idea if I had a reason for thinking it'd work, or if it was just one more really stupid decision on top of all the others.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[have you ever heard a bird snicker? well, now you have.]

So what was the first one? Taking him back to your room in the first place?

Re: b

[at_heart]

Oh, that'll be at least my second mistake. The first was probably getting drunk enough that sleeping with one of the knights seemed like a great idea.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Not a fan of men in uniform?

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ Lipquirk. ]

I mean, maybe this memory predates the rap sheet, but less than a year later I was definitely some kind of petty-crime fugitive.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[snickers again. naturally, Valor approves of crimes.]

That doesn't mean you don't wanna fuck them, though.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ For no reason at all, there sure is some heat crawling up the back of his neck?? ]

Heh, well. Does make sleeping with them kind of stupid, though.

[ Criminals probably shouldn't sleep with the people who enforce the laws?? ]

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[fortunately, between Lupine's long hair and Valor being stuck low down on a planter, he can't see that, so Lupine is safe (for now?)]

Only if they recognize you.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ Good, good (for now). ]

Least it wasn't the guys in purple, their boss definitely seems like an extra shitty shitheel.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

See? There's your fucking bright side. It wasn't the absolute stupidest thing you could've done.

1/

[at_heart]

...Yeah. Definitely not that.

[ Was he looking for purple when he looked for the uniform? Is that why he was so relieved? ]

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ Beat, then he looks down at Valor and really seems to see him for the first time. Lipquirk. ]

Somewhere you were trying to go? And a follow-up question: do you want a ride?

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[shrugs]

Nowhere in particular, but I won't say no to a ride.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ Crouches down deliberately, tilting his head so that his hair's out of the way. ]

All aboard.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[hops onto Lupine's shoulder with a little wing flutter. his little bird feet are still icy cold.]

Where are you headed?

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ guh ] [ And there's a beat, but then he admits with some amusement, ]

Out. Might've stopped by the department store on my way back, though. I need more shirts with, uh. Room.

[ For the wings, ]

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[in an amused tone]

Yeah, I noticed you had some new accessories.

[and he's hopping around on Lupine's shoulder, craning his neck around to take in the wings...and then peering down to look at the tail]

A lot of new fucking accessories.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ The wings flare a little, making better space for Valor while also, not entirely consciously, shielding him from the sun. ] [ His eyes are very silver as he watches the bird shift around. ]

Oh yeah? See anything you like?

[ He's gotten some positive responses, ]

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[It's a little hard for Valor to take in the full effect from Lupine's shoulder, and he also doesn't have the cultural background that makes the horns/bat wing/spade tail combo ping as anything in particular. Nonetheless, he does find something to appreciate about Lupine's new look.]

Seems like it'd all get in the fucking way, but if it means you're walking around shirtless for a few days, I'm not gonna complain.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ snork omg Valor ]

I guess that's one way to handle it. It's a little cold out for going totally shirtless, but...

[ Well. .......Thoughtful look. ]

Guess I could always do the cloak-thing. It's really drapey, I could just kind of wrap the ends around the wings.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[hopping back around on Lupine's shoulder]

Or just cut the back off your shirts.

Re: b

[at_heart]

[ Snort. ]

Aster — our latest — did offer to sew them back up for me.

Re: b

[carrionmywaywardsun]

There's your solution, then.

Re: b

[at_heart]

...Yeah, but like.

[ He can't help it, he'd feel terrible. ]
