[... Flipping the blanket down the rest of the way]

Is it distance?

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

Something of a paradox... Or rather a different state of relations.

There it was the only way to safely get close to people... before that, it was the only way to speak at all...

But, here it is a reminder of when once, I was one of those who held you upon our whims. As much as I cannot do what Aidan has, and take a new name... Neither do I want to pretend to be upon some level that I am not.

[Plopping his chin down on his hands, thoughtful]

Mm...maybe.

But I took it willingly...asked for it, because it meant solidarity and trust. You likely wouldn't have even brought it up otherwise.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

... As a mark of that, I do not mind it.

[He laughs.] And no, likely I would not have.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

Not to mention I now know I can summon you whenever I want, from any distance, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Re: In Sparkles

[Pokes you in the forehead.]

Is that sort of violence necessary by the way? A tap will do the same!

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[Shifts his weight off his elbows so he can swat at half-heartedly]

That all depends on the circumstances. Generally speaking? It's probably usually necessary.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[Laughs and pulls his hand away.] Mean and cruel.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

I still go very easy on you, all things considered. It must be a critical weakness...

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

It's my boyish charm.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

... No, that has the opposite effect on me.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

Really? I've always thought the prickly reaction was synonymous for affection.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

...

You can't prove anything.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

Because you're injured, I'll turn down that challenge this time.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[UNIMPRESSED...]

It wasn't a challenge. It was a statement.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

No, no. I'm a personification of my word.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

I think you mean words. Plural.

[Scrunching his nose for a moment before attempting to sit up...very slowly]

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[He watches, but doesn't make a comment.]

The trick to all of this is going to be getting the blood out of all that hair, honestly.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[Once he's vertical, he flips his braid over his shoulder to examine it.

...welp.]

Yes...I was just thinking about that part...

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

.. Given who was big on clean, you might have to do the negotiation on that one.

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[Letting the hair fall back]

... I'll just manage with whatever we have here.

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[With a bit of the intent curiosity of a cat. He reaches up and catches the end of it, flicking it this way and that before simply untying it.]

A brush would be easier, but honestly, now, what else is there to do?

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[...ALLOWS...]

Maria might have one somewhere...

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[Unbraiding and simply combing each segment with his fingers. It IS particularly slow progress as he's taking some care to not pull even this far down the braid.]

That would be useful.

Re: In Sparkles

... Check the corner where she keeps her things, you're just going to get blood on your fingers.
