anyway i guess hak is somehow buttdialing sylus. there appear to be crunching noises coming from the compact. ]

[expulse]

[ haha


anyway hangs up ]

[handfast]

[ SPOON? my god



anyway buttdials him again. this will keep happening until he picks up. ]

action... in theory

[glub]

[ gimme cat bed

i was going to make this a serious tag and maybe i will ]

[expulse]

[ ok

Well, Rafayel is already on the bed when Sylus stumbles into one of the guest rooms. But frankly... What does he care? He wants to sit down a while, and the fact that Rafayel is on the bed is of no consequence, especially since there is a cute little kitty on the bed too.

So he will help himself... Plays with one of the cats. And then nods off. Cozy. ]

week 4... prefaces that this is not smut

[glub]

[ is it coincidence or fate that brings them to this same hotel room. when he uses the keycard, he's half expecting some sort of elaborate trap on the other side of the door. maybe more monsters, a reflection of their past, or even of their latent desires— instead, he sees a familiar figure in the room, holding a shard similar to his own. he can't completely make it out from his distance, but he wonders if sylus stares at it often?

in reality, rafayel had been avoiding looking at his. why look at something you couldn't do anything about immediately? why look at something when it felt undeserved to some degree. or maybe, he feels a swell of other emotions too, including resentment. either way, he doesn't focus on that.

he's already pushing past sylus and taking off his jacket. ]

What, did I interrupt something?

[expulse]

[ Why did you preface this?? SYLUS HAS HIS PANTS ON.

Also, unlike Rafayel, he has no problems owning up to being a wife guy. A total simp. He loves his shard. So he doesn't seem startled or embarrassed when he's intruded upon, just letting Rafayel aggress his way into the room with the same vaguely bored expression he usually wears.

He doesn't hide the shard either, holding it as he walks over to the couch and sits down. ]

Would it matter, even if you did?

[ Notices how he's already making himself at home. ]

post-maze run...

[glub]

[ he will suddenly come from behind and glomp sylus

yeah this is a serious tag ]

[expulse]

[ i have to read the word glomp in 2025

Sylus just goes very still. ]

Should I be watching out for a knife?

[ A 6 inch tall Hien falls from above. Catch him? He lands on your head? Make him go splat on the ground? You decide. ]

[expulse]

[ Oh, my... Hien will find himself getting caught in a bed of red-black mist, which cradles him briefly in the air before lowering him onto Sylus' hand. ]

What do we have here?

[ how did elysium know that it's christmas ]

delivery...

[glub]

[ after opening his box from the recent tasks,

he does end up leaving the contents at sylus' door. if he opens it, it's a flower. a flower that had recently been revived from extinction. considering he was planning to gift it to miss bodyguard, it does feel weird giving it to someone else, but he figures it'd be better than letting it die without getting the appreciation it deserved.

maybe giving it to sylus was also like giving it to her in a way...

besides, in the end, no matter what... it would never be the original. just a replica. ]

[expulse]

[ He does open it, and is genuinely caught off guard in a way that he so rarely ever is, holding the flower and admiring the scent and colour of it. Rafayel better be certain of his gift, because there will be no taking it back.

So... get ready to be hunted down. Sylus is going to roam around to find him, and once he's in his sights...

Teleports in front of him. The flower is tucked neatly into his shirt pocket.

Grants him two seconds to say something before grabbing his jaw. ]
