’ i’m so mad that i don’t know what to do. ’ (ja'far @ sinbad)
* rent lyrics sentence starters. / @inkblccded !
such a grave statement / coming from the one sinbad adored as his pillar , the compass he had needed to get across the seven seas : the shaky hands and compromised expression left him flabber - gasted for a brief moment , before he grasps them within his own / a rough finger pulp gliding over the smaller hand in an attempt to ease , to comfort : “ … i know it’s frustrating. ” ja’far was no covetable company when losing his composure , but they had seen enough of each other / jabbed at hearts with knives and words alike for sinbad to not be afraid anymore. the scent of white lilies right outside his office window was carried inside , the breeze as gentle as his smile. he had been munificent with their business partners : but his generosity knows limits too , especially towards people who could pay for it either way.
his hand strays , gently threading through his advisor’s hair as white as the snow in the land they had first met / yet he was happy to see something warmer swim in ja’far’s eyes as an eyebrow was raised at him. “ we will figure out what to do , ja’far. every contract has a loophole —— — - do you remember? ” it was one of the first lessons they had been taught by rurumu : first seen in action against their diplomatic feud with madaura in reim / a practise they had become well - versed in over the years. and the sting lessens its intensity over time , even if he can see the stubborn tilt of ja’far’s head and sinbad’s hand is ushered away / the king throws his own head back in laughter , as free as he could possibly be while drowning out a flustered influx of complaints.
