"why not you?" he asks, tone light and playful. "even if you don't believe in fate, it almost feels like it, doesn't it?" he holds his hand out, wiggling his fingers. "c'mon, i'll show you around. do you want a hoodie? or maybe one of the light sticks? i can have my people go get you one."

                                " i've been waiting for you, " he remains stoic, watching the other carefully before he takes a few steps closer towards him. " i've . . . missed you, too. " a shallow breath, & he opens his arms up, inviting. " come, let me hold you. " he looks towards cloud expectantly, gaze softening, as if pleading.

he softens considerably at the sight of vincent opening his arms to him, beckoning him forward. a quick quirk of the mouth and he ducks his head to hide his smile as he reaches behind him to remove his blade and set it aside. once he's sure it won't fall, he goes to his lover, filling the space in his arms. his own wrap around him, holding him close to him as he buries his face into his shoulder, breathing him in. "sorry. . . for keeping you waiting." he's quiet for another moment, fingers curling into the fabric of his top. "have. . . things been okay?"

"they said something about baby dragons. ours." he shrugs. "they...probably just didn't know vidyadhara can't have offspring?" a pause. "would we have an egg, like this, if we could though? or live birth?" he doesn't really wait for a reply as he steers dan heng toward the labs. maybe they had something for the egg.

". . . live birth, i think." he looks over at kai as they make their way to the labs. "even if vidyadhara could have offspring, we wouldn't lay eggs. not with the rituals we do." he's thinking about this quite a bit. if, hypothetically, a vidyadhara and another species had offspring, they would most certainly be carried to term within the one who would birth them. once they reach the lab, dan heng shifts the egg slightly. "do we have an incubator? that might be the best place to start." a pause. ". . . are we telling your parents?"

another long stare, she allows cigarette to burn, soft honeyed hues focused solely on the other. " in a minute, " she finally speaks, retrieving the special grade cursed object from her coat pocket, covered in talisman. " don't you want this first ? "

"just like that?" he huffs, amused. his gaze flickers between her and the finger before he drops his hand to gently pluck it from her delicate fingers. the tips of his fingers where he holds it begin to sizzle, but the pain is near non-existent to him as he moves his other hand to remove the talisman and watching it turn to ash. he unwraps the finger with a satisfied hum before he pops it into his mouth and swallows it in one go. his eyes close as the energy in the air shifts for a moment, power increasing with the newly consumed finger. he grins as his eyes flutter open and he licks his lips. "now. . . how about that kiss? or would prefer somewhere more private?"

"wait — hold on, it might actually jam if you keep trying to open it. just calm down first, panicking isn't gonna help us."

"but we have to get out of here before— before whoever put us here gets back. i— i don't want to die. . . not like this." he moves to the door regardless of the warning and tries to open it again. "i have— i have a family i have to get back to—"

it appears he did not misinterpret the other, still, his face remains stoic. his tits ? he signs in repetition. what does his breasts have to do with this ?

"yes, his tits, kō." he continues to sign as he speaks, brows furrowed. "it— i'm just saying, they're huge. like. the dude is jacked. maybe he's taking some special sauce or something. wonder if he's got any connections with bane, actually—"

fingertips ghost along the other's jaw, palm flattening against rayne's cheek as he places a gentle kiss to her mouth. it's slow, meaningful in the way he meshes their lips together. lashes flutter close, free hand resting upon her waist as he brings her body closer into him. again, he kisses her, teeth nipping at her bottom lip as he suckles at it, releasing it if only to allow the witch to catch her breath. " rayne, " he kisses at the corner of her mouth, then her jaw. " rayne — "

her head feels like it's spinning, floating up into space with no way to return. his kisses make her see stars and his touches send sparks all through her body. no one has ever made her feel like this— she doesn't think anyone will ever make her feel the way val does. her arms moved to snake around his shoulders as he pulls her closer. "val—" lips part as she tries to catch her breath, but she's impatient. she wants more. she pulls him in for one more kiss before her hands settle on his shoulders and she hops up, wrapping her legs around around his waist, not wanting him to crane down for so long just to kiss her. gently, she takes his face in her hands and leans in to kiss him, this time letting her tongue slide along his bottom lip, asking for entrance.

" i'm sorry, " she breathes, gaze stagnant as her vision begins to blur over. " i never wanted to hurt you, igarashi - san. " i love you, she wants to say, they made me. a sharp inhale, " i . . . i understand if you no longer wish to . . . " a hand is raised, wiping at cheeks, " i understand if you no longer wish to be with me, but please — don't hate me. "

❝ don't be asinine. ❞ a spat response, mismatched eyes narrowed in distaste at the flighty one's words. ❝ where is he, then. ❞

". . ." a long pause as the marksman stares at the other before hands come to rest at his hips, chin jutting out a bit. "i'm not telling you." is it childish? perhaps, but he wasn't going to rat on his best friend ! especially when this lunatic wanted to hurt him. "can't we like, i dunno, get along?"
