   that he stares so longingly at what is nothing but shadows and darkness aside from eyes that seem to bear an ethereal glow all their own is something anyone else would laugh at him for -- scold him, even.

   just inches away from the person, the bullet of his pistol was lodged into a tree. smoke filters out from the muzzle as he lowers it slowly, convinced that the other won’t move. at least, not for this moment.

(piggyback) — for your muse to leap onto my muse’s back, for a piggyback ride. do so at your own risk. 

he sees him coming for him ( smells it, too; there’s a certain aroma of trouble that his partner carries with him in every single step that he takes ), and he knows to expect the worst — he just doesn’t expect that to mean being pounced on from behind and clung to like a koala.

no. he’s more like a sloth. a good for nothing sloth.
