[ oh. well. this is slightly less mortifying than being scruffed like a naughty cat. vax groans, almost draping half dramatically in his arms, because he recognizes there is a reason he's being dragged off. ]
Alright, alright... Look, I already burnt my foot off with lava once, I promise I'm not looking to do it again.
[ but with a great big sigh, he drapes his arm half around his neck and acquiesces. ]
[ he gives up and just lets this happen, waving his other hand in a "yes, yes, go on", and then drapes his other arm back around his shoulders. ]
Pickings are kind of slim this week, less you want to go play with the picture thing. [ purikura!! ] Oughta take Bass there, later, but I'm gonna hog you to myself if you're gonna cart me around for now.
Good. [ forgot to be gay there, but before they step through the archway, he presses a kiss to his cheek, with a 'mwah', and then settles again. ] Mhm. Both of them.
[ he did in fact have two. vax looks absently down at the tops of his hands, which are finally free of tattoos for the first time in a week! finally. ]
For the record, I didn't use you for any of them. [ this is teasing, at least. ] Had to dress in bright colors for the week. And then for the pig one, had to scare three people.
[oof, holding him gets awkward for a second, because after that kiss he has to stop and shift vax's weight to support him in one arm. the other sleeve is pressed to his mouth, to cough up more petals.]
...mm. Not too troubling, then. He did not offer up what the task was, but when Kashuu had the pig tattoo, he said it was bad, and he did not wish to complete it.
vax has not coughed up too many flower petals really - he's not exactly hiding his emotions, most of the time - so he just gives him a little pat on the chest, concerned and a little bit guilty. as he's adjusted, he reaches up to try and brush away a couple of these errant flowers - catching a petal between his fingertips with a quick sleight of hand and turning it to investigate it, absently.
whoops. he'll let it flutter to the ground once he's gotten a look at it, and settles again, sort of behaving, instead just propping his arm up on his shoulder and then his cheek on it, looking up at him, thoughtful. ]
Yeah. Rubes said the same, when she had one. Seems like I got lucky. [ considering he likes to startle people normally - terrifying people isn't exactly out of his wheelhouse. ] Just got a token for it.
[ he shakes his head... she didn't look too happy about it, so, frankly, he hadn't asked.
... the curiosity takes over, though, and he turns the unfamiliar flower between his fingers, absently. ] ... Never seen one like this before. From your world, maybe?
[ crow probably would too, honestly, because sometimes you are just two stupid birds, but, vin is his immediate first thought. there! productive. see?
... he watches the next couple of petals go with the sort of acute fascination you just have to? sir. you're making it worse. why are you and percy both like this. ] ..aaand? What is it?
[ that gets a little nod, at first - yeah, he'll look into that.
but otherwise, he just leans forward a little from his perch, examining the flower itself, its soft color. ]
Like what? Different from the colors here? [ there's maybe a liiiitttle bit of gremlin to that, but, it is a genuine question. kiki'd love these, probably. ]
[ he would not continue doing this if you didn't continue enabling him. alas, the continued pink just gets him smiling like a fox, entirely too pleased. ]
Maybe I just wanted to hear you say it. [ :3c ] Happy? Or...
No promises. [ :3c This is what happens when you cart him around you’re within retaliation damage splash zone.
anyway. pleased! ]
Got some stuff to tell you about from my meeting with Soosh and Vin: it worked out. I was able to hold them together for a little bit. Might be able to help with your dreams.

There is always the-- "moon", I suppose.
By the by-- did you complete your task last week?

[he clears his throat and a couple more petals flutter away. ugh.
they're not cherry blossoms this time. they look like the petals of the flower in meteion's wall graffiti in the alley, glowing a soft pink.]
no subject

no subject
[he's trying to work some stuff out here in the middle of being gay okay
he pauses, though, at the question about the flower.]
-mm. It is.
[he doesn't say anything else about it.
annnd so there are another few petals.]
no subject
[ crow probably would too, honestly, because sometimes you are just two stupid birds, but, vin is his immediate first thought. there! productive. see?

no subject
[as for the flowers.... hhh.]
...they are called Elpis flowers, after the place where they grow. Their color varies, as they... reflect the dominant emotion in their surroundings.
[he doesn't cough any more up, this time.]
no subject

...fondness. I expect.
no subject
