The cheshire eyed the other, not truly believing they intended it the opposite. But still the statement was true, he was very capable "Why not? She's our child!" He was annoyed, clearly, but the other wasn't giving any good reason as to why he couldn't be a part of it. Sage was harmless in her prison.

Making a face, he glares toward the hatter, then turned his head away, claws digging into the table he sat at as he listened "Of course…" The other had been bonding with his sister much these days, which he had no problem with, they hadn't seen one another in a life time. But this, it didn't feel like something that should exclude him.

He was still waiting for Darius to explain why he couldn't come with, when it was their child that was being dealt with. Which he was trying to wait for Darius to explain it, any way "Are you going to tell me or am I simply supposed to guess?"

"Oh really!?! Just like you?! Wow! I don't believe it..." He gave the other a bored look then before bringing his hand away from their stomach and smirking a little as they spoke again " I'm a cheshire, Darius. I've never even seen a bear. Have you?" He gave the other man a suspicious look then " Well, I can just grow more fingers back, right?"

Asher tilt his head at the others refusing to just let him do it. He laughed a little bit then raised his eyebrows, his mouth opening a little as he clicked his tongue, kind of annoyed " Oh? You care?" Asher rolled his eyes then and held up his arms " No no. It wasn't any of the shit leading up to this point, but now, now it's just suddenly click-getthefuckoutofmywayyoucarenowmyass- " Asher quickly said before deftly ducking under the taller man as he moved to walk passed them " I'm not an idiot just because you don't like it. What about me?" Asher turned, rotating acrobatically on his heel, tossing his arms out, his hands covered in the sleeves of his shirt " You know, I gave up everything for you. I lost my soul! Just to try and make you happy." Laughing, he paused, and looked around.

" Maybe I am an idiot. Because that was a stupid cause. But if I act any differently. If I act indifferently. What then? You'll not be happy. I'll not be happy. We both suffer twice as much. So-" Lifting his right hand to the side of his head, he scratched his temple "So, see this from my perspective how stressful it's been. Because you want me, but don't want me, but do like having me. But don't want me around. But miss the things I do when I am around, but tell me to stop doing them-" Asher snickered "You're nuts! You are absolute crazy!- Course I knew this. I love that about you. But fucking hell, man- It's like constantly walking on land minds to deal with you, because you're crazy ass is so flipfloppity it's hard and harder to bring you joy. But I'm squeezing those moments out as hard as I can, the more you resist. The more I must have it. Am I crazy?!"

Asher gave Sean a look up and down as the other spoke "It's always something to do with Darius, when my things don't go as planned, Sean." At least he wouldn't need to worry about it anymore. Asher tilt his head, looking curiously away then, thinking quietly for a moment "Because he's desperate to prove he can do it without me. That's why we are no longer communicating. Him and I. You should do the same. He told me himself he doesn't want to be involved with anyone. Give him what he wants, Sean." Asher gave an amused huff " But you're an adult. I'm sure you are more than capable of doing whatever you think would be best." Not that he was concerned. The emotion selling business  had been plummeting long before Sean quit. Most of the Diamond and Club Kingdom's were dry countries.

The people were thriving just fine without the substances offered by Sean or Darius.  Moving away then he goes to sit down " No. I don't want to talk about it. It's done. I'm moving on with my life. Sage is safe living in the Club Kingdom. I visit her several days a week." Asher smiled lightly " There's really nothing to talk about. My life, has continued on as it always has been. See, Sean. That's what happens when you are content. I'm very much content with this arrangement between Darius and I. He requested to be alone. And I suppose if that would make him happier. I gifted him this thing he seeks. Why do you presume that I am not happy? If Darius is doing what he wants to do, and doing what ever it is that he would like to do with his life. Then, I am happy for him. Honestly."

Asher laughed a bit at that reply " Yeah. Because that's usually what you do. Why do you think I brought it up." Asher remarked, then rolled his eyes. He wouldn't have expected much else from Darius at this point. Even though it had been some years. The other was always pulling him on a rope. Either along for the ride or tying him to a post and asking that he WAIT for Darius to get over his latest bout of wanting to reject everything that loved him. Asher crossed his arms over his chest, then brought the fingers of his right hand up to rub along his own jawline, thinking to himself for a moment.

As Darius spoke on, he listened, eyes glancing to one side. He knew he would have to save himself. He usually did, Darius could have saved him. And did, quietly, unknowingly, in most cases. Because Asher knew the other didn't have much guts when it came to playing the actual hero. A man convinced he has no heart tended to make far too many mistakes to be a heroic figure to anyone. Not that Darius wanted such a look, clearly. Asher didn't want that either. It wouldn't be Darius any other way. But, the other pulled away so often, it was hard to see Darius, in all the masks he had tried to put on.

Reaching out toward Darius then, Asher places his hand gently over the others face, his index and ring fingers over Darius' eyes directly, blocking the others vision partially " You could start, by taking off the masks you made for yourself, to hide from reality." His hand pulled away, the skin starting to rot away to the bone, followed by the rest of his arm. Asher didn't seem to notice it as he dropped his hand to his side, smiling at Darius then " I don't care about any of that. I have known you since I was ten years old. You often choose the wrong option if you are given them.” Asher frowned a bit.

Looking away then he sighs " You should maybe start doing the opposite of what you think is best for you. It's seemed to work in the past." Turning away, Asher moved toward a chair, taking a seat then, he places his hands out on the arm rests, his fingers on each hand drumming along the armrests excitedly then. The rotting boney hand of his grotesquely so " Remember, you chose to kidnap me. You went away to the Human world, with Alice, instead staying here. And in the end, it was always your second choices, that saved you more. You chose to feel bad for kidnapping me. You then returned me. You convince yourself you have no feelings, but..."

His head dropped suddenly as if he had lost all mobility in it " Think about it...What was the next thing you did. You ran off to be with Alice. Then you came back, and realized you loved me and not her. Or is that...the story you tell all your boys." Asher commented, his head lifting a little bit eyes turning to look toward the reader, glowing purple, a smirk spreading over his lips. Then he looked toward Darius again " You forget, though. I am not generic, Darius. I will be gentle.  I will be rough. I will be here for you. Always, even if I have to wait for you to take off those masks."

"I will be honest with you. To make you see that you're capable of more than what you give yourself credit for.  I won't cower away, or run. I respect you enough to, give you what you want. As well as what you need, even if it's only what you think you need. I'm a challenge, Darius. You aren't awarded trophies by backing down and hiding in the shadows." Standing then he walked over toward the other once more leaning in he brought his hands toward the others face, gently holding his hands against the sides of Darius’ head, his own face moving in closer toward the other "It's never too late to apologize for a wrong. There's always time to be remorseful for doing terrible things."

Asher pressed his forehead toward Darius', skin rotting away the longer he touches Darius, his bones showing " But I never asked for your apology. I forgive you. Because I do, love you. I forgive you. I forgive your stupidity. Your need to prove I don't need you. Your being scared of being with me. I don't care, because I loved you. I loved you till the day, I died." Boney hands pressed to the side of Darius' face then, gripping onto the other before Asher moved in to kiss the other male, for a moment, before the bottom part of his face rotted away to nothing more but bone against the others skin. Asher pulled away then, eyes staring at the other " Get out of your head, and be with me. Save me."

Asher looked toward Darius as the other had said that. He didn’t know why they were saying that. He was well aware of all of these things. Asher had known Darius. Very well. He knew the other was not often the brightest light bulb in the pack. He knew Darius made shitty mistakes. But still, he had loved Darius. Not because of the others inconsistencies. Or forgetfulness. Or their tendency to forget that Asher had indeed, loved them. But just because, Asher did, love, Darius. He liked these certain other things about the other. Not everything, but these certain things. Staring the other over, he frowned a little bit a thought coming to him “And what about the time you don’t save me. What if…one time, you destroy me? Thinking that you might be saving me. What then, Hatter? Would you give up, after that?”

Asher rolled his eyes when the other seemed to be mopey about it all " Well, yeah. It's kind of a bad habit I assume you picked up while being an orphan on the streets, only having to think about yourself." Asher commented then looked toward the other "But you aren't that orphan on the streets anymore. Who has to be so shut off from everyone else. You haven't been for a long time. You have made a family, you've made friends. But you still act like that kid fighting rats in the streets for a slice of cheese." Asher let out a breath "I've known you since I was ten years old. When you kidnapped me, and then about an hour later saved me? Strange, but still, it started out friendship. Yet. In all that time, not once. Have you matured much passed that lost, orphaned little boy. Who sees himself, and then the rest of the world being against him."

"It's not about winning, Darius. Is my love a competition to you? Are you competing to see how long it's going to take for yourself to not care about me anymore? Is that what you are telling me right now." Asher sat up a bit then, staring at the other quizzically " I'm not talking about how much I have given in the relationship. I of course have given quite a lot in this. And I have the money and mentality to do so. I'm just saying...Because you wanted to be mad. I haven't seen you, you are always wanting to start arguments. Or pick at my flaws or mope. You're giving up, and it makes me sick to look at you in this state." Asher tilt his head and glances away from Darius then "What we have, it's something special, don't you think so? Don't you feel so? Yet. You are that same little boy, who wants to run away from all of that. How long, do you imagine I will chase you into your self isolation?"

He rolled his eyes when the other commented about sleeping on the couch " Sure. You do that. Go feel sad about yourself, while you're out there, maybe you can repeat the same old cycle. You'll suddenly realize how awesome I am in your life. Then I'll say something and you'll get defensive about. Then you'll say that I am absolutely terrible. Or some bullshit in order to make ME feel guilty for the way you have made yourself feel." Asher smiled toward the other " But before you do that, you should realize something. I never told you to get out, or go sleep on the couch. Or that I didn't miss you. Or that I don't want you to be happy. You do that mostly to yourself. You ruin everything before you imagine it could ruin you. Because I guess, you think if someone is going to hurt you most, it might as well be yourself. You sleep on that couch, you'll just be continuing that pattern of hurting yourself."

He could feel his annoyance building already at the way she spoke and looked at him. His eyes squinting for a moment then. It had been months since he had smelled Darius. But the envelope she had held out toward him smelled just like that putrid vile little monster.

His gaze dropped down toward the slip of paper he could see it bending over slightly as she held it out toward him " Huh. Interesting. I don't usually get mail from the peasants here." Taking a few steps toward her he takes the note from her hand and offers another smile "And from a stranger no less. How, befitting of him."

Asher turned then and tossed the envelope into the fireplace just beside him " Ah. Now that's going to keep this place nice and warm. Thank you...Um... Do you have a twin sister. I swear I have seen your face around before?" Asher asked with a curious look. He then shrugged and turned his head away, staring back toward the fireplace.
