Just not you.

[ flat. stare. ]

[dadinside]

[he grumbles. might as well get this over with.]

... Fine.

[he told Flora he wouldn't occupy the bathroom when staying here anyway. gonna be awkward if she shows up.

so he slowly stands up and steps out of the tub.]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

[ this feels like a hollow victory in some way? He frowns slightly. ]

I won't even ask you to drink. You can just play. Hell, leave the lights off in there if you want, too.

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

It's fine.

[he repeats. after all, he only had the lights off so he could remain hidden.

probably would've been better if he left the barn. he just didn't think he'd hunt him down like this.

fully defeated he shuffles towards Acheron, like he's ready to follow him.]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

I won't get too crazy~

[ he says as he accepts the hollow victory and turns back to the door ]

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

Right.

[not that he expects Acheron to drop the gritty details of the encounter he saw the beginning of... but he knows enough to guess that's why he's in this particular mood.]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

[ a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell. Besides, it's not like he thinks Bombay would be particularly interested in those details, even if... things. ]

Cool. We got this.

[ whatever this is. as he makes his way out of the bathroom~ ]

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

[what gentleman?

anyway, he follows quietly, not entirely sure what to expect or why they "got this" (got what?).]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

[ and he leads the way back to the bedroom, quickly settling back into the chair next to a little table that's still holding the drinks, plural. They will both be gone before he goes to bed. ]

Today was so busy...

[ as he reaches for his drink. he doesn't know if Bombay'll talk to him so he is perfectly fine filling the air himself ]

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

[he takes a seat at the table and resumes playing his game while listening to Acheron.]

Was it really...

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

The ritual caught me off guard in the middle of my errands, dude. Totally a pain in the ass. I got a lot done but not everything, so it just means more work tomorrow.

[ as he takes a drink ]

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

[uh huh.

his eyes remain glued to his Switch.]

Sounds like your games took a long time.

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

A lot of talking. Got real thirsty.

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

Talking, huh.

[is that what the womanizers are calling it these days...]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

You should sympathize with me there more than anyone! I bet there are days that you wouldn't say a word if I wasn't around.

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

[nods.

probably. he was like that before meeting Acheron.]

So you suffered during the whole ritual.

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

I didn't say that. It was fun, too.

Re: late day 90;

[dadinside]

Must be why you're in a good mood.

[he finds himself idly clicking buttons in his game that... don't need clicking (opening the menu, closing it, opening it again). for some reason.

he doesn't know why he's having trouble focusing.]

Re: late day 90;

[papartner]

I mean yeah! I'm an extrovert, right? I totally get energy from people like that. Been a while since I've felt this good though~.

[ he is grinning way wider than anyone has a right to ]
