[02:35] VU: N9, that's surely imp9ssi6le.

[02:36] CT: I think I'm finding something rather contrary right now, in fact! Gasp!

[02:36] VU: Y9u must 6e mistaken.

[02:36] CT: I'm afraid not. [02:36] CT: You, Kankri Vantas, have been found... [02:36] CT: Being *sarcastic*.

[02:36] VU: 96jecti9n. [02:36] VU: The pr9secuti9n is seeing things. [02:36] VU: Where is the evidence? [02:36] VU: I th9ught this was a fair trial.

[02:37] CT: Are you accusing me of giving you the run around, sir?

[02:37] VU: Yes.

[02:38] CT: Well, while I do enjoy the occasional run around. [02:38] CT: I assure you, that is entirely not the case!

[02:38] VU: Pr9ve it. [02:38] VU: Sh9w me where, in the c9urt rec9rd.

[02:38] CT: Right then! [02:39] CT: [05:33] VU: H9w dare y9u suggest that I w9uld ever 6e anything sh9rt 9f entirely sincere. [02:39] CT: Take that!

[02:39] VU: H9ld it! [02:39] VU: And h9w can y9u pr9ve that I was n9t 6eing entirely sincere in the 9ffense I was taking?

[02:40] CT: Because you, Kankri Vantas, didn't end the sentence with the proper puncuation, and even followed up with a single word sentence reiterating how correct your first sentence was! [02:40] CT: That is the very FORMULA for your sarcastic ways!

[02:41] VU: This is the part where I p9und the ta6le dramatically with my fist and perhaps fall 9ver. [02:41] VU: Then rec9mp9se myself. [02:41] VU: Ahem.

[02:42] CT: The court is waiting, Vantas!

[02:42] VU: Well, Jane, y9u see.... [02:42] VU: This is, in the end, a text c9nversati9n. H9w can y9u 6e s9 certain as t9 the int9nati9n I meant t9 im6ue int9 my w9rds? [02:42] VU: Perhaps the wr9ng punctuati9n was simply... a mistake.

[02:43] CT: Perhaps, but that would make the singular follow up word a coincidence! [02:43] CT: I! [02:43] CT: Think! [02:43] CT: Not!

[02:43] VU: Ghk--!!! [02:43] VU: ... I f9ld. [02:44] VU: Well d9ne, Pr9secut9r Peixes.

[02:44] CT: :B All rise, the court has found Kankri Vantas... [02:44] CT: G [02:44] CT: U [02:44] CT: I [02:44] CT: L [02:44] CT: T [02:44] CT: Y [02:44] CT: .

RW: what are you running from?

BM: nothin uh BM: cros bein a jerk again

-- rookWing [RW] looks unconvinced. --

RW: cant help but notice that youre the only one in this hallway.

BM: uh BM: he must havve uh BM: apparated awway BM: or somethin

RW: we both know thats not happening any time soon. RW: what were you doing that you werent supposed to be doing?

BM: nothin dad promise

-- bronzeMirror [BM] wriggles --

-- rookWing [RW] leans down, bringing his face closer to Eridan's. --

RW: dont make promises you dont mean.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] whimpers --

-- rookWing [RW] narrows his eyes at him. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] swallows --

BM: i wwanted to see cros neww tutor BM: so i wwent to see if you had a picture of him on your computer BM: im sorry dad i knoww im not supposed to go in there wwithout permission

RW: ...

-- rookWing [RW] sighs and sets Eridan gently down, resting a firm hand on his shoulder. --

RW: next time, you will refrain from snooping about in your fathers business, or your brothers business.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods, head hanging --

RW: ...

-- rookWing [RW] tilts his head at him, thoughtfully. --

RW: you will also help me clean the kitchen, as punishment.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods again and reaches out to hold Dualscar's hand --

BM: yes dad

-- rookWing [RW] gently takes his son's hand, releasing his shoulder and turning to guide him down the hall at a walking pace toward said kitchen. --

RW: so, did you find what you were looking for?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods quickly --

BM: hes short BM: cro wwants to kiss him BM: i think hes dumb and young and a stinkin lowwblood

-- rookWing [RW] A flash of something passes over Dualscar's face, but his expression calms just as quickly. --

RW: he can perform coordinated, wandless magic, and he is younger than you. RW: even if he is a lowblood, his magic deserves your respect.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] blinks, peeking up at his father, then nodding --

BM: yes dad

RW: ... do i need to talk to cronus about the purpose of the lessons he will be receiving? RW: namely, that they will involve absolutely no kissing?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] pouts --

BM: you might because he says hes got plans to lose his vvirginity and they invvolvve his lowwblood tutor

-- rookWing [RW] widens his eyes ever so slightly -- -- rookWing [RW] grits his teeth and turns his gaze forward, tugging Eridan into the kitchen and immediately letting go of his hand to break out the muggle cleaning supplies. --

RW: i will definitely have to talk to him, then, yes.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] helps his dad take them out --

BM: okay BM: ...

-- bronzeMirror [BM] presses a little closer to his dads hip just a little --

-- rookWing [RW] calmly hands him a scrub brush, pausing just a moment to look at him. --

RW: ... RW: did you do the homework i gave you yesterday?

BM: yes dad its in my room BM: wwant me to go get it for you

-- rookWing [RW] nods, reaching out to brush a couple stray hairs back from Eridan's forehead. --

RW: ill look it over while you clean the kitchen.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods quickly and rushes to get his homework -- -- bronzeMirror [BM] comes back and hand it to him --

-- rookWing [RW] takes it and lifts himself up onto the counter to begin reading, nodding quietly toward the cleaning supplies. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] starts cleaning like a good little nerd --

-- rookWing [RW] hums quietly to himself. --

RW: good... good.... RW: did you copy this bit from the internet or was it all you?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huFFS --

BM: i didnt copy nothin from no internet no internet is smarter than an ampora

-- rookWing [RW] smiles, nodding a bit. --

RW: damn right. RW: though your brother would like to pretend i do not notice his occasional blatant plagiarism....

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs --

BM: cros just lazy BM: if he applied himself more hed do better BM: hes dualscars son after all the best fuckin auror evver

-- bronzeMirror [BM] coughs --

BM: excuse my language dad

-- rookWing [RW] smiles a bit wider, his eyes soft for a moment, flicking from Eridan's homework to Eridan and back again. --

RW: ill excuse you this once, eridan. RW: your homework is good. i see no flaws, though i think you could have elaborated a bit more on the events in 1811.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods --

BM: yes dad BM: thank you for the challenge

RW: youre welcome.

-- rookWing [RW] sets the homework aside after a moment, leaning back and watching his son clean. --

RW: ... are you excited for hogwarts?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs --

BM: im not too keen on bein around so many humans BM: an plus a lot a lowwbloods wwill be there too BM: but ovverall im excited BM: its the best school to go to after all

RW: that it is. RW: unfortunately, we cant all be highbloods, or trolls. its best you learn to get used to being outnumbered.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] snorts and tosses his head back haughtily --

BM: wwe may be outnumbered but nevver outclassed

-- rookWing [RW] chuckles a little. --

RW: not a terrible way to look at it.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] slows his work for a moment --

BM: .... BM: ill miss you though

RW: youll see me over the holidays. RW: i am certain you will be too loaded with work to even think of missing home.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] sniffs a bit --

BM: yeah youre right BM: ill do my best to wwork hard and be the best student there BM: gonna livve up to the ampora name and crush all my enemies

RW: good. RW: im sure youll do great. RW: i look forward to seeing how you and cronus both stack up.

BM: cro an i wwill dominate just you wwait gonna make you real proud dad

-- rookWing [RW] nods, fondness in his gaze. --

RW: im sure you will.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] finishes cleaning and walks over to Dualscar and puts his hand on his knee and grins up at him real wide --

-- rookWing [RW] reaches forward, gripping Eridan around his middle and hoisting him up onto his lap. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] trills softly, almost immediately covering his mouth with a violet blush --

-- rookWing [RW] raises an eyebrow, but its clear he doesn't mind too terribly. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] leans into his dad's chest slowly, catiously, then closes his eyes --

-- rookWing [RW] pauses a moment, before resting a hand on Eridan's back, sighing and leaning back against the wall behind the counter. --

RW: tired already?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] shakes his head --

BM: no i just wwanted to listen to your bloodpusher

-- rookWing [RW] hesitates a moment, then nods, humming a little to himself and rubbing Eridan's back idly. --

RW: ... itll benefit you to make friends at hogwarts. RW: do not think yourself above someone who is willing to help you. RW: your courseload will be too strenuous to think that way.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] shakes his head and grips Dualscar's shirt a bit --

BM: if im supposed to think myself equal to people wwho wwant to help me then that still makes me abovve evveryone BM: its alwways the same the only person i can count on is myself

-- rookWing [RW] closes his eyes and considers things a moment. --

RW: yes, to an extent. RW: you should always be cautious. RW: but you will find people, however temporary, who you will be able to consider friends, or at least, helpers.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] hums --

BM: i guess so BM: though if brother cant evven stand to be around me wwho else wwill

-- rookWing [RW] pinches Eridan's back. --

-- bronzeMirror [BM] owwwww --

RW: cronus is going through a phase. RW: it will pass. RW: he cant stand anyone at the moment. its him, not you. RW: dont talk as if you are at fault.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] mumble grumble it is my fault its gotta be --

-- rookWing [RW] pinches him again --

RW: was that backtalk i heard?

-- bronzeMirror [BM] owwwwwwww --

BM: no dad i lovve you dad

-- rookWing [RW] smoothes over the pinched spot, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Eridan's head. --

RW: i love you, too, eridan.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] trills softly again, then leans up to nuzzle his nose against his fathers jaw --

-- rookWing [RW] smiles, allowing the motion, fins fluttering ever so slightly. --

RW: i hope you will grow to be more confident during your time at hogwarts.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] sniffs again and nods --

BM: ill try

RW: youll see. RW: other kids go through just the same things as you. RW: other kids whove also got brothers.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] huffs quietly --

BM: if you say so dad

-- rookWing [RW] pats his son's back kindly. --

RW: course. none of them are as special.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] perks up, earfins fluttering happily --

-- rookWing [RW] smiles down at him, watching his fins flutter, with a certain... sadness, perhaps, in his eyes. --

RW: one more thing.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods? --

RW: do not let anyone tell you you are not special. RW: stand up for yourself. RW: it is better to get detention for fighting back than to be beaten.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] grins, baring his shark-like teeth proudly --

BM: ill beat them til they cry

-- rookWing [RW] chuckles, grinning right back at him --

RW: not where the teachers can see, you wont.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] snickers --

BM: im goin to go help cro wwith his homewwork noww okay BM: oh uh

-- bronzeMirror [BM] frowns a bit --

BM: that shouty guy you wwere talkin to on the pesterchum the other day wwhen i came to havve you sign that paper BM: is he someone i should think about

-- rookWing [RW] pauses a moment, letting his features settle into a more familiar, solemn expression. --

RW: he may come round to drop off cros tutor. RW: but i do not believe you have much to worry about.

-- bronzeMirror [BM] nods --

BM: okay

-- bronzeMirror [BM] squirms up and kisses him on the cheek -- -- bronzeMirror [BM] jumps off his lap and runs out of the kitchen --

[11:45] SL: bye.

Kankri: --?!

-- Kankri shifts quickly, turning onto his side and wrapping himself around Dave. --

-- Dave purrs quietly at the sudden warmth he's enveloped in. --

Kankri: 9f c9urse, Dave. Very much. Particularly in y9ur current state. P-... particularly if y9u mean permanently.

-- Dave peers up at him. --

Dave: do you not like me the way i am Dave: when im all reckless and stupid i mean

Kankri: --

-- Kankri frowns softly, pausing to think of the right words. --

Kankri: 9f c9urse I like y9u, Dave. Every part. I fell in l9ve with y9u when y9u were argua6ly m9st reckless and stupid. I just...

-- Kankri pulls Dave in closer, dipping his nose quietly into his hair. --

Kankri: I am just m9re... terrified 6y it, than I used t9 6e.

-- Dave squirms slightly, trying to press under Kankri. --

Dave: i dont want to terrify you

-- Kankri shifts a bit, drawing a hand back to rest gently on Dave's baby bump, wordlessly advising against Dave having him lie on top. --

-- Dave curls his hand in the front of Kankri's sweater and nods, shifting back a bit. --

Kankri: I kn9w y9u d9n't want 9r mean t9 scare me. I kn9w. It's... unf9rtunate.

Dave: ... Dave: for you and for me Dave: i want to change Dave: and for the babies

-- Kankri releases a quiet exhale, brushing his thumb lovingly -- cautiously -- over Dave's belly. --

Kankri: All right. That s9unds... g99d.

-- Dave closes his eyes and just lets himself feel Kankri's hand. -- -- When Dave opens his eyes, his expression is... Small. Scared. Vulnerable. --

Dave: will you still love me if i become different from the me now

-- Kankri brings his eyes to meet Dave's, soft and thoughtful, his hand having begun to rub gentle circles over Dave's belly. Kankri's teeth bite at his own bottom lip. --

Kankri: I will always l9ve y9u, Dave. 6ut d9n't feel like y9u have t9... 6ec9me a different pers9n, all right?

-- Dave pulls away slightly, looking upset. --

Dave: i dont know what you want anymore kankan Dave: you want me to stop being reckless and impulsive which is like all i am Dave: but you dont want me to change

-- Kankri bites a little harder at his lip, letting his eyes fall, and looking... soft; tender; fragile. --

Kankri: May6e I d9n't kn9w either, Dave. I think there's m9re t9 y9u than recklessness. 6ut I 6ec9me w9rried, when y9u talk a69ut it like this. Kankri: I w9rry I'm g9ing t9 l9se y9u in a c9mpletely different way.

-- Dave lets himself fall back against the bed. --

Dave: i dont think youre going to lose me kankan im more worried about losing you Dave: what are you afraid of happening

-- Kankri quietly draws his hands back closer to his body, tugging at his collar and averting his eyes around the room. --

-- Dave sighs and rolls onto his side, back facing him. --

Kankri: A l9t 9f things, I think. Y9u getting hurt. L9sing the children. Me f9rcing y9u t99 much; letting my fear sm9ther y9u, cripple y9u, 9r push y9u away. Kankri: I w9rry y9u'll realize I am n9t w9rth the eff9rt, 9r that I w9n't 6e en9ugh f9r y9u anym9re. I'm scared y9u'll gr9w... tired. Kankri: I realize this isn't the easiest t9 deal with right n9w. I am n9t making much... sense, I d9n't think.

-- Dave is silent for a moment, then rolls over and faces his mate. --

Dave: kankan Dave: i dont know how many times i can tell you that im in love with only you Dave: please please stop doubting

-- Dave sighs a little. --

Dave: im not doing this just for you Dave: i want to change for me too youre not forcing me to do anything Dave: you said I helped you change for the better youre just doing that for me now

-- Kankri drags a hand up to run through his hair, shielding his face behind his forearm. He sighs, shakily, but nods. --

Kankri: I'm s9rry. I kn9w I'm 6eing... s9 childish, as 9f late. It's difficult.

Dave: i just feel like you dont trust me

Kankri: I d9 trust y9u, Dave. And I... I try t9 6e reas9na6le, I d9. Kankri: It's just hard, s9metimes. I'm s9rry.

-- Dave sighs and leans over to cup Kankri's cheek. --

Dave: ive been so many places Dave: seen so many people Dave: connected with so many other lives

-- Dave makes an exasperated hand motion --

Dave: my new friend cronus who ive kind of got a pale crush on is kind of flush for me and totally hot

-- Dave looks at Kankri --

Dave: but no one ive ever met makes my heart pound the way you do just by smiling at me Dave: no one can get me hot with barely a touch Dave: no one can keep me captivated for hours upon hours with just their voice and their ideals Dave: no one can infuriate me as much or calm me as soundly Dave: there is no one not even red who can hold a candle to you Dave: sometimes i wake up and for a moment i wonder if it was all a dream if you werent real Dave: then i wake up and the reality is better than any dream ive ever had

-- Kankri sighs, leaning into Dave's touch and letting his hands fall, settling quietly at Dave's sides, fingers just barely hooking in the edges of his clothes. -- -- Kankri smiles, just a little, tenderly, tilting his head so he can watch Dave's eyes. --

Kankri: I wish I were half as w9nderful with my w9rds as y9u are, Dave. It's... amazing, the feelings y9u instill in me. It truly is. Kankri: I'm... s9rry y9u have t9 remind me s9 much.

-- Kankri leans forward, resting his forehead against Dave's, and shifting a little closer, pulling them both into the radiance of the other's body heat. --

Kankri: I feared I'd 6egun t9 69re y9u... hah. Seems like such a f99lish th9ught, n9w. Thank y9u.

-- Dave scoots a little closer as well, lips brushing lovingly against Kankri's. --

Dave: ill remind you as much as you need baelflower

-- Dave smiles at him. --

Dave: you dont need to tell me with words bae as long as those feelings for me are in your heart i trust they are there Dave: i believe with everything i am that you and i were meant to be forever

-- Kankri purrs low and soft, tilting his head to pursue just a little more of Dave's kisses. His smile widens. -- -- Reaching to take one of Dave's hands in his, Kankri brings it between them, pressing fingertips firmly against that spot in his chest, beating a steady rhythm. --

Kankri: I assure y9u, th9se feelings will always 6e right here. F9rever.

-- Dave smiles and captures Kankri's lips in a long, slow kiss. --

Dave: just like ill always be here Dave: forever

-- Kankri matches his mate's kiss, slow, deliberate -- and more secure than before, Kankri's tension melting away. -- -- Kankri's hand caresses Dave's gently in between them, his eyes sliding closed as he rests against his fiance. --

Kankri: I trust y9u.

-- Dave leans up and nuzzles their noses together, grinning. --

Dave: i trust you too

-- Kankri can't help but grin back, nuzzling in turn, and then pressing a quick kiss to Dave's cheek. --

Kankri: S9, ah... are we g99d?

-- Suddenly, Dave grins, and pop! There's a pair of shades on Kankri's face. -- -- Dave purrs softly and pulls another pair of shades from the pocket of his shirt and slips them on. Suddenly, a chum window opens up in the shades Kankri is wearing. --

Dave: B) were always good bae

-- The shades Dave put on Kankri are red-lensed, silver-framed aviators -- a mirror of his own, except his own are, of course, black. --

-- Kankri blinks, reeling back slightly as his eyes adjust; he laughs, bringing a hand up to adjust how the frames sit on his nose. --

Kankri: Well then. G99d.

-- Dave squirms slightly, grinning. --

Dave: I figure youre a strider now you needed a pair of shades all your own

-- Kankri smiles widely, trailing his fingertips along the rims of the shades. --

Kankri: Well, they're n9t anything I'd ever expected t9 6e wearing... 6ut I like them already.

-- Dave giggles and brings Kankri's face down to kiss him, full and passionate. --

-- Kankri makes a muffled noise of surprise, but his hands find Dave's cheeks regardless, bringing him in and kissing back with equal fervour. --
