Trying to unlearn bad habits.

[a tiny quirk of his mouth]

Now you don’t have to worry about Charon’s opinion, at least.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

Mm. Only yours.

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

I want them both, too.

As much as I can have, I want it.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

I'd say you've already succeeded at that.

Re: cw gore, torture

[Frost’s breath hitches, visibly]

And you? What do you want?

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ He looks surprised ]

It's not obvious?

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

I don’t…want to make any more assumptions about anything. Even if it seems obvious.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ He sets the drink aside so he can loop his arm with Frost's ]

Well, I want all three.

Thankfully, as you've said, all three are right here. As long as they'll have me, anyway.

[he gets very fluffy (literal)

fidgets for a moment, then picks something out of his pocket, puts it around Aloe’s wrist one-handed, and draws it snug]

[ ,


Lifts his wrist to inspect it like ???? ]

[it’s a near-perfect replica of the thin collar from the one performance, looped twice around his wrist like a black leather bracelet.

the silver banding on the scale marks it as one of Frost’s actual ones and not the scenario dragon’s though]

Re: cw gore, torture

[

He turns very red suddenly ]

This is...

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[slightly stifled]

I was going to wait. But.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ He disentangles his arm from Frost's, but only so he can gently run his flesh-and-blood fingers over the edges of the scale ]

You must have done this once we disembarked...?

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[he’s slowly going pinker and pinker]

It was—an impulse. I passed a—well, anyway, I commissioned a pair.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ Looking up at him intently ]

What's on yours?

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[he takes it out to show him; there’s a little silver tag shaped like a feather on it, but]

…a placeholder. I thought I’d ask for one of yours later, or…whatever you felt was appropriate.

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ A small smile

And a feathery tendril appears from his forearm, hooking itself toward Frost invitingly ]

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[‘-‘

politely closes his fingers around it]

Doesn’t it hurt to pull these?

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ His lips twitch slightly ]

I've caught bullets with them. It's fine.

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

Goodness.

[he yanks it quick and clean then, careful]

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

[ It earns only the slightest little cringe, but the pure pleased tailwag energy of him offsets it ]

There. You can replace the placeholder.

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

[blinks in surprise as it starts to stiffen…fiddles with it a sec to make sure part of it crystallizes into a little loop, before making the switch. offers it to Aloe after, laid across his palm]

Put it on me…?

Re: cw gore, torture

[featherduster]

Wrist? Or...

[ His eyes flick up, briefly, to where Frost wears his scarf ]

Re: cw gore, torture

[endsjustified]

Whatever you want.
