[ that suits him, really. lynxes and bobcats are so quiet, can be affectionate but are usually solitary. good for a scout. it also compliments his cousin's, in a way - owls are just the version that can fly. ]
It suits you. [ said affectionately, instead of judgmentally. ] I wouldn't mind a fox or weasel - weasels can take down prey up to ten times their size, and foxes are known for being clever and quick.
Raccoons just make me think of Denji now. [ trash panda...
anyways, also taking all the time in the world to go anywhere, especially considering he's going to have fall descending on him shortly. ]
[It's fine they can linger at the door for a while.]
If I had my powers, I could just look at you and see if you had one or not. I can sometimes see an owl just behind Onni's shoulders if I stare long enough.
[Now he kind of wants to see Kon with a little fox following him around. How cute.]
[ is it fine, maple. can they linger at the door. with it open, and lalli distracted?
anyways. ]
Mine cost 8, discounted to 6, to get back. You could buy your magic back until you get home? [ thoughtful. ] It might not matter much for the grand scheme of things, but it could be handy, and that'd be something that was taken from you given back.
[ he does seem pleased with the fox choice, and his smile is very fox-like with closed eyes. yip. ]
Luke told me once that it would be too expensive to buy back, but that was also Luke and not Riku. I think something about my magic would do something here that 'the man behind the curtain' doesn't want.
Mm, Viola told me the same thing, about a different magic that I have. I think the answer would stay the same even with Iris, though. Just because it would be the same, probably - I'd be able to rewrite things, here, so it wouldn't be great for the man behind the curtain.
I can see souls, spirits, and the dead for some of my magic. If I had that, I could find the dead easily, and maybe even communicate with them. That's why I'm pretty sure I got told no.
... yeah, I think it could. That'd literally let you see through the veil - the curtain. So of course you wouldn't be allowed to have it.
It took us weeks to be able to interact with the people that died, even though they've been adjacent to us this whole time. You'd have kickstarted us being able to figure things out about the daycare.
[ the blink that happens in response to that is abrupt, like kon snaps out of the slow descent into hyperfocus that he was starting to slip down with the plot dangling in front of him like that. ]
Right. Thanks, I'm kind of bad at not thinking. [ no one's around yet, so he brings up his right hand to touch his fingertips to the line of lalli's jaw, sneaking a quick kiss before they're no longer having a private moment. wehe. ] "Clever" is a double-edged sword, in a place where we're trying to find answers.
I used to pull double-shifts being both a day scout and a night scout when we only had me to do the scouting. Trust me, I know how hard it is to not think.
[Quick kiss get! Lalli tries to chase after it and nips at Kon's bottom lip, but doesn't go further than that. Affectionate cat-nibbles.]
We can take a nap later. In the afternoon there's a good sunny spot in the common room.
I pull a lot of all-nighters, here and back home. Researching, building things, trying to deal with what the Yakou's done. I'll keep you company if you'll do the same for me - help each other think and not think, depending on whether it's permissible thinking time or not.
[ the nip makes him grin a bit, and he leans in for more - gently nuzzles and smushes their noses, fitting against the upturn of lalli's, before returning the nip. playful fox affection back. ]
Dimitri had a sleeping curse yesterday and I was very jealous of him, actually? A sun nap sounds great.

But as quickly as he gets annoyed, he shakes his head.]
We can talk about it later. This isn't about that.
[He's lifting his head up to bump his forehead against Kon's again. This is a time for affection, not for thinking deeply.]

But so is nuzzling noses and grinning when Kon nips at him in return. I'm so sorry for everyone who has to see this nonsense.]
It'll be even better because it's not a curse. Kissa might even join us there.
[Catpile!]
