WHAT More timey-wimey nonsense
WHERE Wherever you are
WHEN Day 126, a̧ft̨er̡n͢ooņ

[So last night some of you experienced some serious smallness and weirdness. maybe you want to go check and jump some of the cute small people in that post, still.

But now it's a new day and things are—uh, oh shit, totally not back to normal. It's midday in early spring! Only then suddenly there's a snowstorm and an ice rink has appeared. And then it's nighttime in the sweltering summer heat and crickets are chirping.]

Sometimes it stays the same long enough to enjoy an out-of-season activity, so maybe you want a Pumpkin Spice Latte or something? Try to enjoy the day, even if the magic-sensitive might be occasionally feeling a little under-the-weather.]

[TIME / DEAGE / AGE-UP nonsense continues! Change things up from the first post? Jump in for the first time? You can also use this as a Totally Normal post. I'll do another post on Friday/Saturday for the weekend crowd as well. There's also been some other rad posts lately you can hit up as well if you don't want to timey-wimey. ]

How romantic. But I'm afraid I'm a bit more tenacious than that.

Then I'll just have to be more tenacious. Don't underestimate love, mm?

You're really fit for this sort of role.

Really? I'm not really sure whether to be happy about that or not . . .

It's very convincing, believe me.

[ lying back down, closing his eyes. ]

Are you concerned, then?

[ leans down, pressing his lips against his jaw ]

About what, in particular ... ?

That I might actually do that. Kill someone you hold dear, kill you, kill myself - all out of jealousy.

Oh, was that meant to be a serious thought?

[ hm ]

Well.

Can you think of a single person I hold dear right now?

It wasn't, but I'm concerned that you would think so if you were so convinced.

[ a beat ]

But, no. That's the sort of Master I expect you to be.

I'm afraid those sorts of threats have never been terribly effective in my case.

[ hums, quiet for a moment before he reaches up to take him by the shoulders and flip them over, so that he can rest on top of him ]

I'm sure.

Mm? Hoping to prove me wrong?

[ idly, lifting his arms up to wrap them around him loosely. how the turns have tabled ]

Hm? Nothing like that. I just wanted to move.

[ idly, running his fingers through ardyn's hair ]

I believe you entirely - maybe I'm foolish to think so, but I think if there is a force in this world that is impenetrable, it might be Master.

My, do you think highly of me.

[ he murmurs, tipping his head towards that touch. ]

I'm not invulnerable, of course, despite being what I am.

Mm, I know.

[ letting that settle for a moment before he continues on ]

But it doesn't do for a son to think that his father could fall. It doesn't do well for a son's sense of security and esteem.

[ -- he laughs. ]

Is it more comforting, the thought that I would live forever?

Edited 2018-06-05 07:36 (UTC)

No no, not forever.

[ letting his other hand drag down his neck, his collarbone, and to his chest ]

But, I can't imagine that anyone could strike you down.

Then you imagine I'll die peacefully, of natural causes?

[ jokes ]

[ jokes! ]

Maybe a heart attack in your sleep.

I'd request that you give me a swift death in that case.

Do you want me to kill you? It sounds difficult, but it's the duty of the son to carry out the father's wishes, so. . .

Well, there's difficult and then there's impossible.

Yes, but I love you that much, so I'll do my best.

And what would you plan on trying? Hmm?
