... [ it's like she's trying to speak to him, he just knows it. but it flies over his head. ] If I'm ever in one, you have permission to smack it off my head.
[ lazy.
but hey, it's not too far to walk anyway. welcome to room 9, it's the best room on location because yuri and molly live here and sometimes gu yun is also here. ]
[ ugh i have got to do a relisten of the adventure zone soon, my heart. ]
[ as always and-- wow it's only been a day? it's still monday and he's already so tired of this whole... reaching into his mind and pulling out the raw parts of himself for everyone to see, but also of having other people's most vulnerable moments just splayed out in front of him.
he likes knowing things. he likes gathering up information and forming plans and using things, and rumours and past histories against people if he has to, to achieve what he wants. he's good at it. but he likes wrath. and this feels wrong right down to the depths of his bones.
and he doesn't even get to say anything before his own memory (4:34 to 7:20) is being drawn out as well.
...
after both he just sort of shakes his head. ]
...
[ and-- ]
You're a twin?
[ ... might as well start with the less raw things, rather than prying and picking at everything else that wasn't his to assess in the first place. ]
he lets her sit down and just sits himself next the chair on the floor. it'd be great if i didn't just remember this serious thread is happening with yuri in a cat maid outfit but sometimes life is just like that. ]
... He's got some impressive dance moves.
[ with her reacting like this, he's really not about to start swinging the hammer wildly and seeing if he can smash to some kind of breakthrough. it's not his style anyway. but he stays nearby -- near enough she knows he's there, but not touching her to give her some space. ]
[the absurdity of it helps, though. yuri's in a cat maid outfit and he says that, and she just - bursts into giggles. they're a little desperate, but she's laughing, at least.
she hiccups, and then:]
Yeah. Yeah, he does. He's a dork, but at least he can dance real good.
[ he bumps the side of his head against her leg. ]
Helps if you have someone around who lightens a situation.
[ ... ]
It's not my way to pry into things. But I will ask this -- the you in that memory didn't have-- [ well. fire feetsies. he gestures to them. ] Did something happen?
[ the finality of that conversation, as light as it was. it makes him wonder. ]
[she reaches down to run her fingers through his hair, absently. just for a moment. and then she slides down to the floor and just, like, into his lap? hope you were ready for that. she's quiet, and then she just - flips the hood down.
her eyes are red around the edges, with black sclera and bright red-orange irises, and there are cracks of fire that spread up her neck and face. she looks up at yuri, and sighs.]
Being the Avatar of Wrath has some side-effects, I guess.
[ he was not, but he adjusts. his weight shifts so that she's more comfortably seated, and an arm goes around her waist to keep balanced before he really realises she's out of her seat now. ]
Hm.
[ he uses his other hand to coax her face around to properly look at him, taking in the red surrounding her eyes, the bright irises and dark sclera, and the cracked lava-like veins running through her skin. with her memory, he can remember what she looked like before and compared it. and... ]
Quite the little firebird now, aren't you?
... It looks good on you. Unwanted side-effect or no, you're wearing it well.
[oh... it might be kind of hard to tell but her ears go pink at the tips.]
I do my best. [she says, trying for cheerful. she's a little uncomfortable with being looked at so thoroughly - which might seem weird, for someone as boastful as she normally is, with the hood.]
[ he won't keep her stuck for too long, the hand keeping her face turned to him will let up so she can look away if she wishes. but he does plant a quick, teasing kiss on her nose before she can. ]
[ that is mine, and possibly yuri's favourite thing. he will keep up the actions that cause that, i promise. ]
No one likes wearing a disguise constantly. [ he makes a shhh motion with his hand. ] I won't tell anyone if you want to hide away and see properly once in a while.
no subject
I won't look.
no subject
At least take a girl back to your room if you're going to get her to strip. [nyeeeh.]
no subject
[ he laughs, and offers her an arm -- almost in a bow. interestingly, he doesn't seem too surprised she's referring to herself by gender now. ]
Right this way then, milady.
no subject
Ooh, no on the milady. No fedoras. [they say, hissing. but they do take his arm. yes i'm using they forever, don't at me.]
no subject
I don't even know what a fedora is. [ he's laughing though, and leads her out of the control room towards his actual room in the sleep bay. ]
no subject
It's a hat that makes you look like a dudebro. [they hum, but - they follow! they could just teleport both of them to his room but they won't. lazy.]
no subject

no subject
once he's got the door open, though, they stroll in, and set the maid's costume on the table for the moment.]
Okay, okay. So let me --
[and then they're interrupted, as they look up at yuri! by a memory. congrats, you did it.]

... I'm a twin. [she confirms, sinking down heavily to sit in a chair. there's a lot of emotion packed into that.]

Uh, thanks. Though.

You're welcome.
Feel any better with the hood off for a change?
no subject
I usually feel better with it on, but it is nice to be able to see properly.
no subject

no subject
Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll take it off when you're around. [she teases.] ... I was supposed to show you that outfit? Wow. Talk about sidetracked.
no subject
Oh, I'm honoured.
[ he gives her a gentle poke in the side. ] If you want to, still. It was a bit of a bigger sidetrack than I think we could've anticipated.
no subject
no subject
I won't stop you then. It is rather fun to wear, I can promise you that.
no subject
Bet it'll be even more fun to take off. [pls] Hold on.
[and she'll pull herself up to grab the costume!]
no subject
Hmmm. [ he... pings the band of his socks. stop him. ] I'd say it would be.
[ he gives her a wave. have fun becoming cat maid..............2! ]
