Valentine's Day Headcanons.

@effigist asked: DATE 🌆 forrr both tobias and elijah ?

{ DATE 🌆 } —– Describe your muse’s ideal date. Do they have a dream date they’d like to go on?

Although Tobias doesn't have a dream date; an ideal date for him would involve showing off his skills while witnessing the other person flaunting theirs. This can vary vastly in practice: from playing intellectual games together (i.e: mind games, coming up with schemes, testing one another's knowledge, participating in escape rooms etc), to displays of stamina (i.e: marathons, sprints, gym workouts etc), to showcases of prowess in diverse fields (i.e: sharpshooting, knife-wielding, sparring etc). He isn't picky when it comes to what activity they're going to be engaging in, as long as he can tell there is an equal by his side who can bring out his best in whatever it is they might end up doing. Dates where he is the only one bringing anything to the table tend to grow boring rather quickly.

Elijah, on the other hand, does have a dream date. As a romantic, his heart is always doing backflips at the sort of festival dates often seen in movies, where the couple is spending the day playing games without caring for the result, taste-testing foods they might or might not have had before, watching live performances, witnessing firework displays, and perhaps his favorite, going on the ferris wheel together. Elijah's ideal date involves leisure activities that are starkly different to his day-to-day trials and tribulations. He doesn't typically get to experience mundane things like the above, and as such prizes them all the more. That being said, while a festival is at the top of his list of date ideas, he is similarly fond of casual dates where nothing really happens as well, such as spending the day at home doing nothing of importance, cooking together, going grocery shopping etc.

Tengen hadn't been expecting to run into anybody on a day like today ... if anything he was counting on nobody being around that he knew as he made his way through the streets. With his dangling jewels swaying with each step he took, Tengen's expression was far off as he carried the box along, not recognizing Iguro at first until they were nearly colliding together. Stopping before that could happen, Tengen blinks once, twice, three times before that stupid, brilliant smile of his rises to his features.

"Hey, I'll have you know we've changed our ways. I mean, we're probably still a threat hypothetically, but speaking realistically, we're not gonna do shit."

Not that Twain is in any position to be talking about what the other three do with their time, but he's pretty sure it'll be a while before any plans the size of decimating Yokohama get put into action unless things get really desperate. Just because he isn't after the Book anymore doesn't mean that the others aren't, too, but he withholds that information for the sake of appearing a little more harmless.

"I mean, there's like, four of us, what are we gonna do? And even if we were gonna do something I'm not the guy who'd know. I just work here. Sorta. Actually I do a whole lotta nothin' while everyone else does business. I'm not even sure what kinda work we do outside of that, uh, security camera stuff."
