Which answers the question of if you regret it, I suppose.

[equally wry]

I don't dream those lucid, you know. They reach my awareness only when they've concluded; I broke a stack of dishes, after the first one.

[featherduster]

[ . . .

Okay, that gets him to laugh hard enough that he has to immediately put the teacup he'd just picked up back down ]

[endsjustified]

[nerd. smiles a private little smile to himself and reaches over to pat his shoulder and back, though]

I'm glad my suffering amuses.

[featherduster]

I guess I owe you some plates.

[endsjustified]

They've been replaced since. I'll be content with the fact you were obviously as surprised as I was.

[featherduster]

Well, no offense intended or anything, but it didn't seem like the kinda thing my subconscious would just randomly conjure up . . .

[endsjustified]

None taken.

It did seem important to clarify I didn't deliberately put the idea in your head. It's probable Perci's mindscape just...left some very direct impressions.

[featherduster]

Distinct impressions.

[ lmao

What would some random drunk in a saloon have called it? ]

A-- wing kink?

[endsjustified]

[minuet shut the fuck up challenge!!!]

I like them. I do not know if that constitutes a. Kink, specifically.

You were compelling before I knew you had wings. You are both compelling whether you have them or not.

[featherduster]

[ Make him shut up yourself, coward. ]

I'll be honest, it's not an opinion I expected to ever encounter.

It's not the reason you're compelling, but it's definitely part of what makes you an oddity.

[endsjustified]

[no, oh my god. he got Minuet to hold still long enough to use real mouthwords, he can make him shut up after.]

Because I don't require a partner to be human, or present as one...? Or because I find the differences attractive?

It may just be unfair advantage, you know. Humans are a majority population on my world, but they are by no means the only sentient race there.

[featherduster]

Uh, well . . . it's a "shoot on sight" kinda thing, where I'm from. So both?

[endsjustified]

[yikes. frowns censoriously]

Well, I'm not going to shoot you.

[featherduster]

[ Dry, ]

I appreciate the restraint.

. . . I did think you were gonna call off working together after that first time you saw it, though.

[endsjustified]

Restraining Fantasia...?

No. The form was a genuine surprise, but you had already told me you were not human, in some fashion or another.

If it were an issue, I would have told you then.

[featherduster]

It seems silly now, of course. But-- well.

I've chalked it up to just one of the many otherwise impossible things that happen here.

[endsjustified]

Your world gave you pain. Perhaps the universe need not.

[featherduster]

[ Mmmmmmm complicated feelings tied up in that statement, but. ]

What a sap.

[endsjustified]

It's not sentimental to make an observation, Minuet.

[featherduster]

[ Uh huh ]

Lean over.

[endsjustified]

[wow!!!

he leans over though]

[featherduster]

[ Hooks one finger in his scarf to reel him in some.

Kissing Charon at the shared Lilybell table, in defiance of god and everyone!!!!!!!! ]

[endsjustified]

[they're going to get yelled at so much if they get handsy in the new kitchen, but kissing? kissing is just fine.

Minuet can feel the faint crook of his smile again for a moment before he really melts into it, making it soft and slow and deep]

[featherduster]

[ NO horny in the new kitchen. Non-horny kissing should absolutely be legal though.

He pulls away after a very indulgent moment, sitting back in his chair. ]

That was only one of the things you wanted to discuss.

[endsjustified]

Hmm.

[that's the noise of him taking a second to find his train of thought again, as he also settles back]

This isn't exactly--relationship-related. Or it's more general. But the headaches don't need to be that bad.
