Gonna try to write something quick for the Royal Fools since they've been on my mind again.
(Royal Fools is my personal ship name for Jester x Ticket Taker fyi.)
"You seem tense again." Ticket Taker stated as he worked on organizing some forms he filled out today.
"Obviously. It was one thing for Pierrot to be fixated on that pet of his. But Harlequin? I swear he started to become more..."
"Hmm...Agreed. Keeping Pierrot on a tight leash is easy to keep doing, even with the use of that guest. However Harlequin...Perhaps we can use that human to a similar advantage?"
"I've considered it. Thought of it, repeatedly. However I suspect Harlequin knows we'll attempt that..."
"He is one to often read ones move ahead of time...Makes me wonder now..." Ticket Taker grew quiet as he thought to himself.
Jester raised a brow as he looked at him. "Wonder what? What is it that you haven't told me yet?"
"Nothing. If it is something to be concerned about. I'll tell you."
Jester sighed and leaned back in his seat. "Fine. But if I learn you were keeping something important from me. Be known a swift punishment will be given."
Ticket Taker walked over behind Jester, lightly resting his hands on his shoulders. Then proceeded to gently massage the tension from his body.
"Completely understood...Though..." Ticket Taker leaned his head close to Jester's ear. "Is it wrong to say I actually look forward to a personal hands on punishment from you?~"
Jester chuckled at his response. Then closed his eyes as he sighed out happily at the feeling of Ticket Taker massaging his shoulders. "Mmm...Don't tempt me now, Bil. You know I don't like to be teased unless it truly leads to something~."
