─ slow

@jung eunhan. i would be most impressed if you could but wouldn’t want my dear senior to be hurt~
his lips curls up into a smirk while leaning closer with a hum
a gentler and more enjoyable way huh? i am very interested in this method you speak of

@kija. You have me as a friend forever, now
He takes a seat with kija, his own legs outstretched as his baggy pans fan out across the floor.
That must be really hard…
He bumps his shoulder with the other, reminding him that getou indeed was by his side
Maybe you will develop a sense when I am around
The idea strikes him giddy
Then you will feel less lonely! What do you think?

@getou suguru. he thinks a moment, knees curling up to meet his chin as he thinks of his next words
i’m glad to have found a friend in you today…
my old companions.. i have a sort of sense when it comes to them. when they are near i feel it, and when they are not i feel… a bit more absent. that feeling seems stronger these days. that’s all.

@kija. The pat is less than reassuring
While I agree that a nights rest is always beneficial, I do want you to know that I am here for you.
I know that it’s hard to trust someone with such vulnerable things, and I do not wish to press…
But I am here for you, if you ever would like to talk about things

@getou suguru. smiles and gently pats getou’s shoulder
i’m alright. a night’s sleep and time away from my thoughts will help, certainly.

@kija. I worry about you

@kija. Frowns at kija
What is wrong

shakes off
i’ll sleep. that will be my solution.

holds head
no..

Waves to the two men

he chuckles at the bravado in the other's words, impressed by his confidence.
well, i might not be able to outdo your 'resilience', but perhaps we could do a gentler and more enjoyable way to help you sleep.
he teases, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he gives the other a playful wink.

i know i can take a punch or a beating so i doubt that can put me to sleep our dear senior~
he runs his fingers through his hair before leaning back in his seat and arches a brow.
unless you know of a better way to help aid me ~

are you sure?
his eyes slipping shut as his smile stretches wider across his face. tilting his head slightly, amused by the others response.
hm? but your dear senior doesn't have trouble with sleep unlike you.

his remains unfazed and hums softly.
no thank you dear senior~ but i wouldn’t mind helping senior if he needs it~ perhaps

is there anything i can do to help you?
he smiles, resting his chin against the palm of his hand.
perhaps, knocking you out?

its a habit of mine, a terrible one

is that another talent of yours, rookie? not sleeping when you have to?

i ed up big time the sun is up already

yikes

head in hands

holds his head and sits on a corner.

@» sucrose. do all men with white hair suffer loneliness? i know of one, myself. poor bastard. i got faith in him though, he's gonna break out of his shell one day
one hand comes up to cover half of his face. he was getting so spoiled today with such warm words, his heart really felt like it was going to burst. in the best way possible, of course.
move in with me?
he kisses her knuckles, taking a long inhale
move in with me. i wanna get married and be a family with you. ring, papers, dog. all of it, all with you.

@cole cassidy. perhaps you’re right… kija used to have a lot of companions. i think he feels a bit lonely now in trying to make friends… but in due time.
she smiles a bit and pulls cassidy in closer, burrowing her head against his chest with a flutter of ears after he kisses her. he is so warm and welcoming, like home, she briefly thinks.
you are truly the source of my joy, cole… i don’t want to be anywhere without you.

@» sucrose. i notice him starting to make friends /he bites into him smile as a particularly soft moment he remembers
I think he needs to be patient and kind to himself. friends don't always happen over night. and... i saw a fellow with dark hair trying to get his attention. hmm.. might be mistaken, though.
he gives her a reassuring squeeze
of course, you really don't have to thank me- it means so much that you trust me enough to be able to confide in me. you're my world
his arms wrap around her in an all-consuming hug and proceeds to decorate her whole face in kisses

@cole cassidy. i think kija thinks he doesn’t have much of anyone to confide in.
she looks off a moment before taking cole’s metal hand and holds on tight
i’m glad i have you by my side. and that you’re so willing to listen to me… i love you so very much, cole cassidy.

@» sucrose. I hope the white dragon finds peace in his thoughts. i be known a thing or two bout the brain workin too hard.
sometimes talkin things out might help? maybe you should let him know that.
i always want you to know I love and support you, and I love listening to you talk

@cole cassidy. i’ve got a bit on the mind… but i mostly can’t sleep because my body isn’t used to sleeping until later these days. the white dragon is the one with lots to think about..

@» sucrose. he plays with her hair and hums
do you have a lot on your mind?

@cole cassidy. just a bit of trouble.. restless nights these days

@» sucrose. ya havin trouble sleepin? :(
crawls up to spoon her
