[supraliminally]

Who: Yakumo Yukari, minglers, and you
When: Day 95, early afternoon 
Where: By the bulletin board and the fountains - or wherever you happen to be
What: Mingle, and planning for a big move

[Sometime around noon, a new bulletin is posted by the fountain. There are a number of open spaces on the sheet of paper (which is very large, and covers up a few out-of-date bulletins) and markers left for anyone who wants to add contact information or additional notes or ideas. A slightly hung over but otherwise satisfied youkai is lounging on the edge of the fountain, yawning.

She waves her hand, and adds, as an afterthought:]

In Albinia's name, and such.

((OOC: Once again, this document is completely open for anyone to edit, so if you want your character to add to it, you can just write directly on it. Besides that, you can use this as a plain old mingle, use it to discuss the possibility of another move, or use it to bother Yukari, as you wish. ))

I know you well enough not to make that mistake, I think.

[can I get away with a playful shoulder nudge today? let's see.]

[impenetrable]

[all you get is a snort in reaction, no tensing up other than in the usual sullen]

Good.

[beautymark]

I do pay attention, after all.

[impenetrable]

To what.

[beautymark]

To you, of course.

[impenetrable]

Exactly how much...

[beautymark]

Enough to fulfill my role to the best of my ability.

[this is perfectly normal right???]

[impenetrable]

...

Fine. [SEEMS TO BE SETTLING FOR IT???]

[beautymark]

[content with this.

Might be a bit in Ky's personal space though. Not overly much, just enough to show he's truly comfortable.]

Does it bother you?

[impenetrable]

You tend to put emphasis on the fact that you do it.

[beautymark]

Should I not?

[impenetrable]

You don't need to point out that you're doing it.

[beautymark]

...My apologies then.

[impenetrable]

I already know you're doing your thing, you don't need to explain it to me. That's it.

[beautymark]

[nooot sure what to say

there is a bit of "kicked puppy" in his expression even though he's trying not to]

...I was just happy.

[impenetrable]

... That wasn't proving yourself.

[beautymark]

[just

quiet

trying not to look upset because DOES NOT WANT TO BE A BOTHER but doesn't know what to do instead]

[impenetrable]

[s-sigh, rubs his face]

Fine, as long as it's not you trying to rub it in my face as if you think I can't trust you to know what to do or something.

[beautymark]

Of course not. It was only pride in feeling close to you in some fashion.

[impenetrable]

[your pride in dealing with me is forever a mystery]

[beautymark]

Ky...

[okay maybe

maybe this is a good time for an explanation MAYBE NOT BUT WE CAN SEE

can I get ahold of your hand]

[impenetrable]

What.

[no what are you doing]

[beautymark]

[slightly exasperated noise]

Sometimes I think you are making a concentrated effort to be dense.

[impenetrable]

What the hell are you talking about?

[beautymark]

If I make a point of being around you or to talk about connecting with you, it's because those things bring me happiness. It will never be an insult, and it will never be showing off. It's just that...

[pause

siiigh

grabbing that hand like it or not, so he can give it a knightly kiss just like last time he had to get all Dedicated at you]

Please understand. I cannot help it if my heart lifts in the presence of the one who's captured it.
