[ .... mmf. he's settled in here now, i guess.

strokes thumb over the side of his hand. ]

[ktiseos]

[he squeezes his hand a little tighter, there.]

[daggering]

[ huff. alright. ]

...Need anything, big guy?

[ktiseos]

... I am fine.

[it's just. odd, not to have vax close as usual.]

[daggering]

[ that's gay. ]

Mmn. [ ok. if you say so.

he turns his face a little up to look at him properly. ]

[ktiseos]

[he still looks like shit!

but he reaches up, carefully, and brushes a thumb along vax's cheek.]

[daggering]

[ he tilts his head a lil and bonks into it - his cheek feathers stop dripping, and the ones in his hair seem to solidify a little bit, too. ]

We're right here. [ bass included. ]

[ktiseos]

I know, Vax.

[just. subtly giving his hand a slight tug. come here it's Weird]

[daggering]

[ ….. cute….

he will scooch a little closer, then, tucking in carefully as to not hurt anything or agitate anything… he’s a little less oozy now. ]

[ktiseos]

[...good. less ooze is good.

a few little tendrils of shadow reach out to run through vax's hair, as he cautiously drapes an arm around him.]

[daggering]

[ …okay, yeah. he seems to settle in with that, so careful not to jostle anything. ]

…hey.

[ktiseos]

Hello, yourself.

[a slight quirk of one corner of his mouth.]

Have you quite finished your brooding?

[daggering]

[ wow!!!! ]

I wasn’t brooding. [ yes you were ]

[ktiseos]

No? Then what would you call it, Vax.

[daggering]

...Watching.



[ he was definitely brooding. ]

[decisions]

Stop lying.

[ a hand lifts and briefly flicks vax in the ear before disappearing again. ]

[daggering]

Ow! Fucker!

[ that didn't actually hurt but he does glower sort of ineffectively at percy anyway for it. leave his ears alone ]

[ktiseos]

What, did you think me so fragile you must simply observe from a distance?

[daggering]

[ the feathers that are not all icky and gooey go poof, surprised at this ]

I - no!


[ no he was just sulking ]

[ktiseos]

[...he huffs out an amused sound at the poof

which hurts, but. worth it.]

Then you need not stay so far. Do not be foolish.

[daggering]

[ emet you are not allowed to feel happy if it's going to cause you pain,

alright. alright!!! he has been properly scolded. his head ducks, briefly - pink flickers through the oilspill slick of his slowly reforming wings. ]

Yeah, yeah. Somebody's gotta cart you both around. [ but this is just performative grumbling. he lifts his head again after a moment, though, a little embarrassed at being scolded and caught so thoroughly but not enough to run back to his sulking corner. his turn to be coaxed. how the turn tables. ]

[ktiseos]

[oh, the pink is-- that's new.

he's quiet, a few moments, but if vax is the one who needs coaxing right now-

when he lifts his head again, emet leans down to kiss the top of it. brief, easily missable.]

[daggering]

[ shut up its embarrassing to get called out for being a tittybaby

well, okay. the feathers rustle. a single snowdrop pops up right in that spot on the top of his head, sticking out like a a curl. embarrassing.

....but fuck that. it's thursday anyway, so, like the week before, when no one's really paying attention, he'll scooch up the bit of horizontal space between them and steal a kiss. small, lingering a second or two longer than it probably should. sometimes you really do be just almost losing the majority of your important people in one fell swoop. ]
