WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

[falling into step beside him instantly, letting Tristan lead him wherever without a second thought]

[turnonmycharm]

[leading him up into his apartment, guiding the way to the bathroom]

Not as fancy as Court.

[conatus]

It's fine. Thank you.

[just immediately starting to strip out of his well ruined clothes, probably giving Tristan a good view of all the dried blood on him]

[turnonmycharm]

. . . you hungry?

[conatus]

Really hungry.

[turnonmycharm]

Get in the bath. We can take care of both.

[conatus]

[just nods, shuffling in once he's fully disrobed and got his hair down]

[turnonmycharm]

[helping to ease him in]

[conatus]

I'm dehydrated, not arthritic.

[grumpy, but not pulling away from him]

[turnonmycharm]

Maybe I just don't want to stop touching you.

[conatus]

Wow, smooth.

[drawing his knees up to his chest once he's in the tub]

[turnonmycharm]

[just sits next to him and pets his hair]

Mm.

[conatus]

[tilting his head into that, expression softening]

Missed you.

[turnonmycharm]

[. . . kisses his temple]

. . .

Do you remember going to my world?

[conatus]

[—sitting up]

No, what the fuck.

[turnonmycharm]

You also came back to Court for a while and didn't remember me.

[conatus]

Fuck. Fuck.

[pulling away to immediately submerge his head under the water]

[turnonmycharm]

It's oka—

[okay. I'll wait.]

[conatus]

[he's down there for a good minute or two, staring unblinkingly up at the ceiling before pulling up again

at least now his hair's cleaner?]

I know. It's fine.

[turnonmycharm]

[. . . he sighs]

And when you showed up in my world, I didn't remember you.

[conatus]

Oh, great. So we're even.

[turnonmycharm]

Shit's fucked.

I fell in love with you again pretty damn fast.

[conatus]

Yeah? I guess maybe this all really wasn't a fluke.

[turnonmycharm]

. . .

No. No, I don't . . . think so.

[did you miss this face]

[conatus]

[yoU KNOW WHAT

leaning over to kiss him, trying to keep it light and quick but has a lot of hunger slipping through]
