#ryouta muse

ㅤㅤRyouta is so amused by her expression he doesn't bother controlling his reaction, his blue eyes spark & dance with mischief, all the while his lips slowly curve into a smirk. He slowly rises, giving her a slow side eye in the process. There's almost an innocent glint to his expression, it shifts his features as he lets out a low snicker. "How dare you, I do have class." There's an obvious tilt of mischief in his voice.

ㅤㅤThere is no hint of him being insulted in his voice, he's not above doing something like that if they moment calls for it.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤThis isn't one of those of those moments.

ㅤㅤThere was a reaction, it was there & gone within the batter of seconds, his blue eyes keep their playful glint but sharpen as the emotion flutters by. "No flowers." He says in soft agreement. There's a story behind that, he can feel it. He leaves his curiosity alone, deciding not to outright ask. His smirk returns with ease at her shift, becoming wider than before. Hi, sexy. "Alright I can cook, what would you like for an entrée?" He pauses as if he was about to say something. Not that they have actually talked about it before but... "Do you eat pork? Enjoy spicy food?" Right after those words leaves his lips he pauses, as her words sink in. He tries to hold it in, he really does. No, he really doesn't. It was really a second & he just drags it out for the fun of it.

@argentarrogance asked: [ sigh ] " what did you do ? " / @ Daken!

ㅤㅤHad he done something? According to what he recalls, his week has been pretty relaxing compared to others. No major crisis, no murdering people behind closed doors. Granted, he would only admit to murder if it had some thrill involved. Well, okay, that & if he was currently trying to antagonize Logan. Which isn't on his to do list... This year at least. Not that he's all together against adding it to it, he's just not in the mood to poke at his dad. He's starting to enjoy the quiet drama free relationship they had right now.

ㅤㅤHe sits there trying to think of something & probably looks like he's trying to come up with some lie or recall some evil doing. Which is true. After a short pause he starts looking around to make sure someone hasn't snuck in a dead body, it wouldn't happen but checking couldn't hurt, right?

ㅤㅤA fairly small part of him wants to throw out something random, maybe admitting to blowing up Times Square. Nah, he's already done that. Gang war? Nah, not the right season. They're always too quiet in this area during the winter months. Would Pietro care? Ry has absolutely no idea, he doesn't know the speedster that well enough to gauge. 50/50 maybe?

ㅤㅤMaybe he could say he's started a scandal with a Senator's son, but that would actually only be fun if he'd done it. Which sounds like a lot of fun, he should start a simple scandal & let it get blown out of proportion. He doesn't even need a Senator's son to do it.

ㅤㅤHe's probably waited too long for a believable answer.

ㅤㅤRyouta pauses bringing the lighter up to his cigarette at Logan's comment, his head slowly tilting up to blink his blue eyes at the old man.

ㅤㅤNot to say he enjoys this approving kick the old man's been on, he does, probably too much. But it almost feels too easy. As if something off. The straining of their relationship isn't either of their faults, not really. He knows this. He wants to play into it, hell he has done just that. But when it continues for an extended period of time it makes him wonder.

ㅤㅤCourse the snarky brat in him wants to ask which god. Messing them has a habit of pushing his adrenaline up to pleasing heights, better than any drug can. Granted, he's done it far too often. It only took Ry one time to loose the taste for it when the Norse Fates tried to force his hand in bringing Ragnarok. It's nearly enough to make it unappealing. Only nearly, he knows he'll play the game again if the opportunity presents itself.

ㅤㅤRyouta's very aware of Johnny's eyes on him as he decides what it is he needs to. He knows he's definitely not fooling the other man in the slightest, Johnny's one of the few people he'd shown most of himself during a time where every move he took were mainly games. The thought to give the man one of his teasing smirks plays through his mind a few times but he continues the air of focusing on his phone. As if it's the most fascinating thing. He's if anything patient & Johnny deserves the opportunity to yell at him if it's what he wants to do.

ㅤㅤCourse the second Johnny moves closer to him & starts talking, Ry just hits a button to lock his phone & shifts it into his back pocket. His head presses back against the bricks behind him so his blue eyes can look up to Johnny's.

ㅤㅤA smile slowly trickles over Ryouta's lips, his eyes coming to life with it. " I'm not here to talk to them. " If he'd been ask, Ry would have said he had perfect timing. Reed & Sue around wouldn't be too bad, no matter what he's said in the past he actually likes them. Even the rugrats. They're not the reason why he's here. " I was hoping I could get a tour with you. Are you free for the day? " Johnny neglected to mention if he was & Ryouta is stubbornly ignoring all of the feelings he's getting from him. " I can promise no games. "

ㅤㅤHe'd expected Tess to have a reaction, he hadn't expected this. They haven't spent a lot of time speaking to each other since they ran into each other on Krakoa. He's still used to her trying to maintain control or only being slightly feral. He makes a mental note in his mind to relearn her. At least, he has a feeling this wouldn't have happened earlier.

ㅤㅤAll the while having an interior that wishes she could rip him apart for his past. Not entirely accurate, but pretty close from his perceptive. It's normally highly amusing.

ㅤㅤThis is only slightly amusing & feels like it could turn to a place he's not sure he'd like to go. Who knows, she's surprised him once, she could do it again.

ㅤㅤRyouta doesn't let her pull him too far from the bench, once he fingers out her intent.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤNope. Not happening. ㅤㅤㅤHe's been through that bit enough in his long lifetime.

ㅤㅤShoving his hand into the dirt he pushes himself towards the bench, reaching out with his hand. She wants to do that she's going to have to work for it. While he make her regret it.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤSnikt! Thunk!

ㅤㅤRyouta's two black claw slide free & bury themselves from beneath the bench. She wants to drag him off the bunch can uproot or be destroyed in the process & she can be the force to do it. Course he could attack her, it would be easy enough to turn the tables on her, not exactly a move he wants to do. If she wants to play feral, she can deal with her choices.

ㅤㅤ" First off. The names Ryouta or Fang. Everyone here uses it now. If you want to put me where you think I belong, you can use the correct name.

ㅤㅤSecondly, are you high? How is witty banter a show about me? "

ㅤㅤHe is literally there to talk, granted he hadn't expected her to get territory drunk over it. Definitely need to relearn her reactions to plan according. If they don't end up too pissed off by the entire encounter.
