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]

[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

[overclocking]

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

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

Most of it's dry anyway. [Still he rolls off the futon and meanders over to check for such creature comforts.]

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[LET'S SAY THERE IS ONE, probably on top of a dress or two and...a copy of Old Sabra Twilight...]

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[Oh. Oh wow. Of all the things to survive.

Of all the amazing pieces of culture and advancements in word and style.

Of all the technology and magic.




This. This is hilarious, terrible and wonderful.

... He sure is taking a while, and half distracted with something...]

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

[.... Can you feel the rising suspicion behind you]

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

[Yes I can.

HE RETURNS WITH THE BRUSH IN HAND. And plots for bedtime stories.]

[Gosh the mood jump is a bit like the one YOU had not too long ago.]

Found it!

Re: In Sparkles

[overclocking]

You're this excited over a hairbrush...?

Re: In Sparkles

[over_the_fop]

Of course not!

[Settling behind you again, crosslegged.]
