[ sighs! but he's taking a sip. it doesn't really help with being thirsty at all but what is inhibitions ]

Ah, where were we?

[failedsafe]

[she takes a blue at random and downs it]

Well, are you worried really? Because I don't think you much care about the opinions of most others much, though these new developments have probably left you embarrassed, but I wouldn't worry too much about it, I mean your sentimentality is still largely secret so you'll probably only eat it while in the unit. And with fans if you run into them I guess there's the audience to consider, otherwise my impression of you is someone suuuper soft. No. I'd say it's charmingly apathetic, you don't get ruffled or scandalised very easily or conventionally because it's like...hm not much really affects you, but that is also pointedly not the case if you catch my meaning (hehe) but more that it might take moving mountains to get you to care about something, but mountains aren't used to being moved so there are probably a lot of feelings about that because whoa you just got moved you did not expect that at all what do you do about that so the people who manage are really precious to you even if that's hard to contend with at times maybe a lot of times and oh my stars really just shut me up already I could go on about this buteven though I'm still getting to know you, you have so many layers like everyone on this unit it is turtles all the way down--

[innerdaemons]

[ he raises his vial, the blue, and drinks it ]

I'll confess I have not been keeping track of the vials you've consumed thus far, but this is not one I've had yet. -- They're all quite sweet, aren't they? I would have preferred a mixture of flavors to differentiate them. It would make it easier to keep track.

[ he's rambling and does not appear to be stopping??? ]

[jobchange]

I am exactly as polite as my company deserves, as some of your unitmates can attest.

[sancrimony]

[ finding a vial for himself too, but—oh

just letting him talk, drinking his liquor for a little bit longer. ]

[innerdaemons]

[ he parts his mouth to speak,


finds himself unable to. and with a bit of a shrug he reaches forward to find an alternative way to make her Stop That Right Now

which is mainly to try to pull her into a kiss. ]

[innerdaemons]

It's quite interesting how to try to freshen up these games when it's all varieties on a similar routine, is it not? It is about who can be the most shameless and tenacious in the affections they choose to pursue. I also assume it is a matter of popularity -- I'm quite sure I would not be one that is pursued for kisses by most per se, no matter how modest. It almost leaves me feeling ... despondent! Unloved.

[ it does sound like he's bullshitting part of that but also please save him Lucifel ]

[avestan]

Sure, might as well.

[grabs a vial of his own and downs it]

[mind_blown]

[well, now he gets--

anger/annoyance, curiosity, horny.

ah well, at least it's consistent.]

Red's the-- flattery one, right?

[sancrimony]

[ no he's just going to nod along while he drinks more alcohol. ]

[failedsafe]

[oh

yeah that's one way to do it.

she returns the kiss, lips working against his for a few moments. she wants to go deeper, but--

wow after that schpiel she needs to breathe and does.]

Oh my stars, thanks, that was a lot.

[innerdaemons]

[ guess what he's going to cover his hand with his mouth and try to gesture him closer with the other. ]

[sancrimony]

Oh—one moment, please.

[ drinking a purple vial first, before coming closer

above his head pops out a word:

bitter

and then more words appear, not unlike a cloud over his head:

bitter bitter bitter wary bitter bitter wanting bitter upset bitter angry bitter hate angry bitter upset bitter love angry bitter bitter bitter bitter bitter ANGRY bitter ANGRY ANGRY bitter UPSET bitter bitter Amused bitter hate bitter love bitter hate bitter love bitter hate bitter love bitter hate bitter love ]

[innerdaemons]

[ -- his eyebrows raise and without bringing his hand away from his mouth he gestures to the words above Lucifel's head. hey buddy. what's up with that. ]

[sancrimony]

[


]

My, did you have a question? I'm afraid I don't understand, though.

[ is there "amused" somewhere in that cloud?

maybe ]

[innerdaemons]

[ fine. he takes the hand away ]

Perhaps it is surprise that you have any love left for me. Or is this the "love" you've discussed with me before? A sort of generalized, meaningless thing, where no matter how much I hurt you you will still love me?

[sancrimony]

[ just letting him talk. ]

[innerdaemons]

I'm quite touched if that is the case! As monstrous and terrible as I am there are not many that would choose to love me. Or is it because of my monstrosity you feel that I must be loved? Is is a foolish sense of pity, perhaps, that cause you to feel that way?

[sancrimony]

Regardless of your monstrosity, you are deserving of love.

[ is all he gives, letting him take that to talk more ]

[crimeson]

...If it did, I think you scared it off.

[innerdaemons]

What a noble sentiment. Even after what you have recalled has your opinion on that remained unchanged? Do you believe I am a man capable of - - worthy of being saved?

[sancrimony]

Let me ask you, then.

Have you not changed at all, since then?

[innerdaemons]

[ it's not like he's being forced to tell the truth. But at the same time - - he usually does put more thoughts behind his words than when he barely has a chance to pause like this, and he's not entirely certain what that lack of brain to mouth filter would do right now.

So he covers his mouth again, with a sigh of annoyance muffled into his hand. ]

[sancrimony]

[ honestly he didn't expect anything, but the silence itself is telling ]

I see.

I'm happy to hear that, Absinthe-san.

[ or not hear that, as it were—there's "satisfied" appearing in his cloud, and he's reaching up to try kissing absinthe through his hand ]

[innerdaemons]

[ the kiss frees him! sourly, he reaches for another vial

the last one for him fittingly being the yellow one ]

Shall we finish this, then?
