But my red polka-dotted PJs... [He's kidding.] That's fair, I guess.
[He will hold Lup's hand back. But he sort of looks at Cloud foxishly... and then holds his other hand sneakily out at Cloud behind Lup's back because he knows Cloud is probably going to swat it away since it's a tease.
[ cloud does hold lup's hand back because this is just his life, but he swats at jason's because no. that's stupid. they're not walking in a triangle formation. (is that his only objection? maybe) ]
What's with everyone trying to hold my hand this weekend? [ you are all exhausting. ] So what are we doing in the sim?
[ cloud IS looking like why at both of them, thanks. he is also looking like he thinks jason with a buttflap would be hilarious. those are both very real sentiments.
but uh. favorite. places, huh. ]
... Uh...
[ most of his were set on fire at one point or another can he get a pass. anyway: ]
I've got something for you guys when we get there. But you have to promise to shut up and not say shit about it.
[ IMMEDIATELY AND TIREDLY? mysterious. but he's serious about waiting until they're at the sim room so he doesn't say anything more about it!! wow!! are they there yet. probably. when they are, he stops before so he can take his hand back and look through his pockets. the gifts are magically unarmed from being in his pockets because he is a jrpg. ]
Look-- They're gifts. There's not a lot of-- I had to... Just. Don't say anything, alright?
[ first off lup is getting some purple hydrangeas from the garden, and jason is getting a a little bat origami that looks like it was made from the only paper available. It's a little less clean than the picture too he is not great at origami.
He is not looking either of them in the eyes. He wishes he was dead he's regretting this immediately. ]
[CLOUD? Losing my shit. This is cute... Gifts for them. It's so funny that he keeps getting bat shit because of all of his disagreements with the Big Bat and the Bat Family ideals.
This brings me joy.
He takes the origami, already starting to grin as he looks it over. Absolutely seems like he wants to say shit. He exchanges a wolfish glance with Lup.]
You start giving me gifts, and I'm going to think you like me or something.
[STOP I'M SO USED TO BEING AFTER ZIA I WAS PREMATURE!!!!!!!!
He peers at Lup's flowers, so amused she is as embarrassed as Cloud is. WHY IS HE THE ONLY ONE HAVING A GREAT TIME HERE.] Those are cute. Gonna have to annoy one of the staff for a vase. [Flowies.
He reaches out to pinch Cloud's cheek.]
Thanks, boyscout.
[Hehe. He motions for Lup to go in. Ladies first. Also it lets him bump into Cloud playfully when they go in.]
Jason is a Bat, so of course he notices. Luckily, Cloud already asked the question he would have asked, which means he gets to stand there looking at her pointedly. Both of her men are looking at her worriedly.]
Because I provoked them, and they followed through. [she says, huffy. keeps... rubbing at her throat.] They pulled a knife on me, too, so don't - get mouthy.
[her ears flick, like a scolded cat, and she moves over to jason when he asks. she's okay! she doesn't have any visible bruises or anything.]
I saw a memory of theirs, and when I tried to be nice to them about it and tell them I don't think they're garbage, they slammed me into a wall and put a knife to my throat.
[... she will not tell them she dared lepus to do it, because they didn't! so it's fine!]
Royce did worse, honestly. I'm not afraid of them.
no subject
I guess Jason's hand is GRABBED and he is dragged away. He shoots Cloud a very himbo ?????? look.]
Do I need to bring my sleepover clothes?
no subject

no subject
[links her fingers with both of them!]

And uh, I figure - I want to see what your favorite places look like. So put on your thinking caps.
no subject
You are very holdable.
[Just going to agree to make Cloud be like WHY. He is looking at Lup, though.]
Our favorite places...? Oh boy.
no subject

[teehee.]
I'm not going to say shit about anything, pinky promise.
no subject
Anyhow, he snorts again because he's five years old. But then he looks a bit serious when he glances at Cloud. But curious.]
I'm pretty sure you're both the only two people I say shit about to, honestly.

anna kicked me out of the order so i'll go now i guess. anyway, cloud hands her the flowers, and her ears go bright pink.]
Oh. [say something more, you idiot] I - they're pretty.
[unfortunately she's utterly disarmed by cute gestures like this so jason glances at her and she gives him a deer in headlights look]
no subject
[ jason, please use your brain. anyway he REFUSES to acknowledge this and is quite clearly blushing and embarrassed himself, but it's fine ]
Anyway, let's go in.
[ MOVE ON!!! move on!!!! let him die and move on!!! ]

she - goes in, flustered, and - winces, slightly, when she does? like she moved wrong. it's fine, probably.
... she will take one of the flowers and put it in her hair.]
no subject
Don't call me that. [ he'd bump him back when they went in, but lup winces and he notices, so instead; ] You okay?
[ immediately. like a simp. ]
no subject

no subject
God, I'm fine. It's - Lepus threw me against a wall earlier. But I'm fine. [she rubs at her throat.]
no subject
[ HELLO???? LEPUS?????? HE'S GOING TO FIGHT THE STAFF???? ]
no subject
They did what? [Can't believe Cloud and Jason are both going to fight the staff.] Why?
no subject
no subject
How is any of that better? What the hell did you do to provoke them, ask them to stab you?
no subject
Lup. [WHY.] What happened? [He'd scold, but Cloud is doing it for him.] Come here, what's wrong with your throat? Did they grab you by it?
no subject
