     Has a point with that question, one that the mercenary wants to gloss over.  ❝ Like... Anyone else would get here ?  ❞   &&  it's not a statement, containing an upturn marking a question. There's not a lot of convincing words to use regarding how one could get here, but so long as he continues to play a fool, then the details shouldn't matter.

     What's somewhat worrying is that he's more than aware of the news that concerns his own face. Not his own actions, but those of an explosive Fool that decided to use his looks to talk with the Trailblazer. Were the lies he told her passed onto the Nameless ?  He's unsure if that'll prove to be a good or bad thing for him. More than that, he's already organized a few scams during his renewed time here, reputation not exactly great depending on who you ask.

“     come on, are you telling me that you   don’t   even   know   how   to   shuffle   a   deck?     ”     sharp   exhale   of   amusement   is   almost   genuine,     before   his   head   shakes   in   disappointment.       “     that’s   easy.     ”     ever   so   generous,     he   beckons   for   the   cards   to   be   returned.   holds   the   trailblazer’s   gaze   and   attention   with   sincerity        —      and   then   they   are   discarded   with   a   swift   flick   to   the   side,     hand   following   the   motion   to   splay   out   triumphant   as   the   deck   is   scattered   and   cascading   to   the   floor.      “     you   just   pick   them   up.      ”

she stands before him with the customary nonchalant playfulness gleaming in her eyes; one arm drapes effortlessly around her midsection, while the opposite elbow finds a perch upon it. “ it appears you've found me. ” kafka comments, delivering the statement with an air of disinterest, as though casually discussing the climatic nuances in luofu. “ are you going to call the authorities? hm? or will you allow me to remain in your company for a little while longer? ” a lone gloved finger delicately twirls a strand of red wine - colored hair as she adds, “ i'm sure you have plenty questions. ”

@oneireth continued ; despite all these years, kokomi never fully understood sunday and his mannerisms, yet still found it in her heart to deeply trust his words even more than her own. with her own aura glowing as if she were a halovian herself, holds a purity of the seas. " if it's as bad as you say, how can i help?"

the touch of her shoulder prompted her soft face to look upward, taking in the features of his smile even if it were short lived. without hesitation, her own hand rests upon his to offer support within the silence. after all it was she who admired his perseverance.

-> @oneireth ; cont. the avgin is used to being talked around in circles, used to gleaning meaning from the tiniest hints of truth or falsehood... and even then, whether he's right or not is another question altogether. another gamble the newest stoneheart stumbles into when faced with naught more than a... blank look and even blanker response. even the overly scripted mind of the newest iteration of aventurine struggles to maintain the easy grin he'd found himself fond of flashing people up until now.

there's a moment of silence between the two of them, tired mind scrambling for a more eloquent response than the one that immediately comes to mind. garnet is... well, aventurine can't help but feel that familiar flicker of growing interest in the back of his mind when it comes to the taller man stood before him. jade is cunning, diamond is straightforward and unyielding, everyone else has some kind of act kept up between them and their co-workers. but... aventurine can't see or hear an act here. not one as obvious as the people he's grown accustomed to dealing with thus far. then, seemingly surprising the avgin himself, a laugh bubbles forward between them.

"is it that obvious, my friend?" fingers flit through blond hair, flicking unruly strands out of his eyes as the smile upon aventurine's lips briefly matches the shine in amethyst gaze. "truth be told, i could do with a decent meal but... let's just say that the food served in the canteen leaves a little -- a lot -- to be desired. i was wondering, though... if you might have a suggestion on where to find good food in this place? you see, i haven't quite explored the whole complex yet and i... hazard to do so by my lonesome - for obvious reasons."

briefly, a hand flickers upward to adjust the collar that sits just beneath the puckered brand at aventurine's neck.

❝ i want you to show me y o u r f a n t a s y. ❞ such intensity and flame within her gaze, it threatened to burn out the stars. her hands find both of caelus' to ever so slightly close the gap between the two. despite their moment atop the building, firefly had never just wanted to bask in the feeling of now. ❝ let me rave forever in your lie. ❞ // @oneireth sc.

  his   words   linger   ,   causing   an   organ   beneath   a   wreath   of   ribs   to   flutter   ,   providing   the   truth   behind   his   uttered   statement.   though   ,   there   was   no   need   ,   for   the   roseate   profile   stationed   before   caelus   is   more   than   enough.   and   with   their   proximity   ,   the   faint   thrum   against   a   chest   pressed   to   his   ,   echoes   the   success   of   the   starboy   and   his   ministrations.

  lips   part   to   remark   ,   but   the   guest   in   the   archives   is   quick   to   the   draw   ,   leaving   dan   heng   with   cheeks   florid   once   more.   ❝   ah.   ❞   spills   a   whisper   ,   to   caress   the   ears   of   the   male   awaiting   a   response.   he   stares   at   him   ,   almost   expectantly   ,   and   the   nameless   can   only   sense   as   his   flushed   features   intensify.

  there   is   no   escape   in   the   captivity   of   his   grasp   ,   despite   how   the   vidyadhara   might   desire   to   slink   away.

  but   eventually   ,   with   the   slightest   gap   in   the   fog   ,   his   voice   finds   him   as   eyes   narrow   ,   fixing   on   his   favourite   constellation.   ❝   i   could   echo   your   sentiment.   ❞   it   appears   somewhere   ,   in   the   depths   ,   his   core   is   bolder   than   he   suspected.   for   his   hand   trickles   ,   to   map   gold.

  outlining   as   fingertips   travel   ,   tracing   rich   lines   to   the   middle   of   his   torso.   ❝   it   seems   yours   is   racing   faster   than   mine.   ❞   until   an   entire   palm   rests   ,   outstretching   upon   the   glittering   plane.   ❝   were   all   your   earlier   words   an   attempt   to   hide   this   ?   ❞

  inclining   ,   he   leans   to   press   a   kiss   to   jutted   edge   of   a   collarbone   ,   teasing   with   a   graze   of   fangs   as   he   withdraws.   ❝   i   want   to   know   all   of   you   ,   caelus.   don’t   keep   secrets   from   me.   ❞

with briar this close, his body pressed to his, sunday almost forgets that they shouldn't be more than just confidants and coworkers. yet in the vacant room, save for them, who would tell them otherwise? he leans close to speak softly to the slightly shorter halovian, perhaps still afraid someone might overhear them, and the spell would be broken. "well, you've got me now, my magpie. lead the way."

music plays from a corner of the room, a gentle melody, one that encourages something just as gentle as it's notes are. step by easy step, focus split between his own heels- and the one who's hand rests in his. who leans close enough to speak against his ear. this is reality; he well and truly cannot see, there is no dream to help him see. no crutch to lean on, trusting that sunday will ensure he doesn't pull them into a chair or a shelf or---

" if i step on your feet, you'd better not complain. " only half joking. he doesn't lead in dance for a reason. metal heels tapping heavily against the floor, as he picks up on the next rise in tune. the motion delicate, and careful-- it's easy to get lost in this sort of thing. so he demands trust, trust he finds himself effortlessly placing in sunday as much as it is being placed in him. ah... thank goodness they're somewhere quite and alone. where propriety and face count for very little. it gives him the boost he needs to maintain good tempo and rhythm. to enjoy it without fear of someone seeing, or a slew of questions. it'd certainly sour the mood hm?

and perhaps. one day, when he can see properly-- he will be able to lead with more confidence. dance is a wonderful thing. he doesn't sing, but he plays; he lets himself feel music more than he can ever express it with his voice.

so lost in it then, that briar narrowly misses a trip, pulling himself closer. hand at sunday's back gripping his jacket. a smooth enough transition, and not as awkward as he thought it was bound to be. their difference in height isn't substantial.

" want to continue? " head cocking far to one side, his hands still kept on the other. fingers curling a bit tighter around his hand. " willing to push off our obligations so you can waste time like this? very irresponsible of you~ "

I wanna hear your thoughts on sunday and robin's relationship!!! also maybe the differences ( and similarities? ) between caelus and steel :3

ON SUNDAY AND ROBIN - these two! are so! important! to! me! everytime we see robin, sunday is with her - and judging alone by the letter we find in the dewlight pavilion - share cares so much for him. couple that with their lightcone from their childhood, and it is so ABUNDANTLY clear that they are incredibly close and robin is sunday's whole world. idk about you layla but when i write sunday, i always write him from the perspective of having done a lot of what he has done to ensure that she is mostly free. they both center heavily around 'caged bird' thematics - with robin's splash art, her songs, etc, and with sunday's pierced wings to keep him from 'flight.' i can only assume that there is something special about them (as aside from maeven and gopher - who could very well be their parents or some shit, they are the only two halovians we see with wings) which is why the dreammaster adopted them. anyways, back on track. i think robin and sunday both love penacony and the dreamscape, but robin's job was to spread the message of harmony - and with sunday's help - simultaneously 'fly the nest' so to speak. because i think sunday - sunday is very aware of what is happening in penacony, obviously, and has been for A LONG time, and did not want his sister subjected to that - so he facilitated her dream, he helped her achieve it, and together, robin was able to achieve intergalactic fame. it is very clear that robin worries about sunday - how much time he spends in the dreamscape, how she wonders if this dream is something they both want anymore, etc. and while we still don't know a lot of robin's inner thoughts (staring at the leakers with both my eyeballs rn), i think it's safe to say that they very much love each other in that way that only close siblings can, and would effectively do anything for one another. as for robin's personal opinion - she obviously looks up to her big brother immensely, and tries to spoil him at every given opportunity. she probably can never get him to leave penacony, but loves spending time with him, loves when they can just sing together or swap stories. sunday is her favorite person in the whole universe im going to cry now brb. ON CAELUS AND STELLE - honestly, i subscribe to the idea of the trailblazer's, regardless of avatar, being literally the same person. the only difference to me is personality. caelus is a bit more cheerful and openly unhinged, while stelle is more reserved and deadpan. but dw. she's still just as unhinged, it just doesn't come out in words as often as caelus' does. i think stelle is a touch more serious - but not in a way that really matters, and fundamentally aside from one being in a skirt and the other not, they're pretty much the same.

the rhythmic hum of the car engine and the soft glow of streetlights passing by form a soothing backdrop to her pre - show nerves. robin is dressed for the stage, but her mind is elsewhere, lost in a sea of unease as the city's lights streak past the window.

beside her, sunday sits with the confidence and calm that has always characterized him, especially in moments like these when her heart feels like it's caught in a storm.

she's been silent for too long, lost in my her thoughts, and she can feel sunday's concern even without looking at him. hidden within her bag, a letter lies secreted away, its destiny unsealed, awaiting the right moment for revelation..

his voice pulls her back from the edge of her anxiety, and robin finds herself speaking. “ i have this unsettling feeling in my gut. like something bad is going to happen tonight. ” saying it aloud doesn't relieve the dread; it makes it more real, more tangible.

@oneireth ; cont -> leant back 'gainst the closest tree, amethyst gaze watches the larger man pass him by from behind the safety of rose-tinted lenses and lopsided grin painted firmly across delicate lips. garnet only makes it a few feet ahead before the strategist is jogging after him, gait betraying his excitement with a slight bounce on the balls of his feet. really, it's not like aventurine is helpless by himself like he enjoys telling garnet is the case. more so that the avgin finds it more enjoyable to set up a fight and watch his coworker do what it is he does best. so what if he likes to plan his defence against garnet more than their mutual enemies?

he's just making a plan for every potential eventuality, of course.

"oh, but you make it look so easy - my knight in shining armour! the way you handled those ruffians without so much as breaking a sweat..." falling into step beside garnet, aventurine nudges the stoneheart's arm with his elbow. "besides, why would i spend my precious little energy on some low lives like them? surely it'd make more sense for us to both be at our full strength should a more suitable opponent arise? hm?"
