Re: RILLE

[levelheadless]

[is it the head stump, are you mentally reenacting the godfather]

Huh, Kaito...? What're you doing here...?

[feels up higher to touch his face]

[was_no_monster]

[ makes a breathy noise in the back of his throat very similar in tone to the trill a cat woken up by petting might make. that is in fact his cheek ]

I was wondering myself... it wouldn't be the first time someone's shifted everyone around as a prank.

[ uncurling from around Rille's head, clumsily tugging his shirt back down in the process ]

[levelheadless]

[yawning, but obviously can't bury his face in his pillow or anything] Well, at least it didn't move half of me anywhere.

[was_no_monster]

... Would you be able to tell where the rest of you had gone if it had?

[levelheadless]

[sleepily] Nope. I can see what I can see and I can feel what I can feel, but it's not like I've got some inherent demon-tag going on with my body.

[was_no_monster]

"Demon-tag?"

[levelheadless]

You know, demon tag? One person calls, the other answers, you try to find them?

[was_no_monster]

... I can't say I've heard of that, but that's as likely to be due to how I was brought up as it is our coming from different places.

[levelheadless]

[yawns again, props his body up on an elbow] No childhood games for you?

[was_no_monster]

[ echoes that yawn, and ends up smacking himself lightly in the nose when he automatically goes to cover his mouth. scowling at his hand ]

Nothing that required other participants, at least. My grandfather wasn't given to that kind of play.

[levelheadless]

[I can't quite see that from down here by your abs]

Too bad. It's pretty fun.

[was_no_monster]

[ damnit I thought I'd written him scooting to the edge of the bed. well, at least his dignity is grateful for that. ]

Mmm. I'm not really built for that type of game regardless, although I suppose that the same sentiment would apply.

[levelheadless]

Not fast?

[was_no_monster]

It's more that when I go fast I have difficulty stopping. Or turning quickly.

[levelheadless]

Mm, I think I get it. [puts a hand on his side] There's always hide and find.

[was_no_monster]

[ leans into the touch a little, absentminded ]

That one I would probably be too good at.

[levelheadless]

In which role, the demon or the prey?

[was_no_monster]

Both. I've got good hearing, and I'm better at stealth than most people tend to expect, given—

[ wiggles his bad shoulder, resulting in a really obnoxious stuck-machinery grinding noise ]

[levelheadless]

[laughs softly, running a hand over that shoulder]

I wouldn't mind being hunted down by you.

[was_no_monster]

Rille.

[ more amused than the verging on scandalized tone he'd been using last time, though. leaning into that touch again, but this time not stopping until he's slowly tipped over to sprawl stomach-down across Rille's legs ]

I'm starting to think that you wouldn't recognize subtlety if it walked up and quietly tapped on your shoulder.

[levelheadless]

[reaches down to pull his head out of the way and put it a bit higher up]

I'm flirting, I'm not hitting on you. Just flirting.

[was_no_monster]

[ waits until he's done doing that and then basically makes himself comfortable ]

Well, now you're cuddling me.

[levelheadless]

So I am.

[curls around him]

[was_no_monster]

[ hums a low, pleased rumble ]

[levelheadless]

[laughs softly and pets his hair] Sleepy, huh.
