From:

[ he turns to Lahabrea now - - clearly expecting him to take his side in this. ]

You see? He's clearly not aware of his own status in comparison to ours. Believing he can make such demands as if he is owed any of them. As if he has earned my mercy in any sense.

From:

temperedinpride

[He raises an eyebrow because some of this is news to him but also why should he care about anyone but Absinthe?]

Well, I suppose I should ask, what can I do for you then? Lucifel. To help this situation.

From:

sancrimony

[ sighs! ]

What is the end goal you wish to reach?

From:

innerdaemons

That is not really an answer, is it now?

From:

temperedinpride

I wish to know what you want, and how I may help bring it about.

From:

sancrimony

[ smh!!!!!!!! ]

. . . I only wish to leave alone and be left alone. This Godforsaken land is already cursed enough, and I don't desire any unnecessary conflict.

From:

innerdaemons

[ and to Lahabrea again, like he's a relationship counselor and Absinthe is refusing to speak to the person he's in a relationship with; ]

I feel as if he is creating unnecessary conflict.

From:

temperedinpride

[He smiles, friendly, stepping forward to pat Absinthe on the head and lean over Lucifel.]

If that is all you wish than I think we can arrange it, don't you Absinthe? Helping you achieve your wish is actually the easiest thing.

From:

sancrimony

[ he does not want to be this close—yet his eyes light up with hope, distrust melting with lahabrea's words, and he picks his head up ]

—Please. If we could both amicably depart, I'd be happy.

From:

innerdaemons

[ he stares at Lahabrea a moment.

simple cat brain: I AM BEING BETRAYED!!!! ]

Did you have a solution in mind?

From:

temperedinpride

[He puts a fond hand on Lucifel's head, pat pat he doesn't know it's an off button he's really just doing this.]

Yes. Can neither of you think of the solution, truly?

[He sounds amused.]

From:

sancrimony

[ did u kno as per the script he is just significantly more naive and receptive to positive and peaceful words, because he doesn't move away from that and seems to be anticipating but— ]

From:

sancrimony

[ —somehow

he can't

keep his head up— ]

From:

sancrimony

[ tttttipping over, head lolling forward as he nods off

zzzz ]

From:

innerdaemons

[

???

he gets up, walking over. ]

Was that intentional on your part?

From:

temperedinpride

[????????

Looking down at Lucifel and then his own hand totally puzzled.]

No. Not in the least...?

[He kneels to lift Lucifel's face, cupping it in his hands to check if he's really sleeping?]

From:

sancrimony

[ his breathing is even; muscles in his face completely relaxed, he sways like he might tip over any minute now, though—

after a few moments, it seems as though he's beginning to stir, a soft noise escaping him as his brows begin to knit ]

From:

innerdaemons

Do you believe you can repeat it? Whatever you did just now.

From:

temperedinpride

What I did...

[He gets up and gently puts his hand on Lucifel's head, pat pat...????]

From:

sancrimony

[ the furrow in his brow disappears and he's relaxed again, completely ]

From:

innerdaemons

Well that's terribly convenient, isn't it?

From:

temperedinpride

[He lifts his hand away and crosses his arms, eyebrows raised.]

I wonder if that is a normal weakness of his or some curse of this hotel?

[Sitting beside Lucifel to pull his head into his lap.]

From:

sancrimony

[ ker-flop. he is just out, especially if bread keeps patting his head. ]

From:

innerdaemons

[ he shifts to sit on the other side of him, tugging the rest of Lucifel into his own lap!

also taking out a knife. ]

It would be quite an odd curse for the hotel, hmm?
