@duskrhine   ,͟,͟ ͟ ͟✧͟    . .   is that wrong of me? it couldn’t be, you already knew that when you chose to befriend me, valentin. [ryōko has never has never hid herself for who she was at her core. leaning back in her seat, eyes can’t help but trace the alleged undead’s features quietly. up until they’re looking at one another again,] then just how will we fix this? if you need my assistance, i believe i’d need some incentive. i mean, how else would i be repaid for my kindness? [the goddess utters,] . .what exactly are you playing at here, dear?

@evolus,             “   ah, so you’re financially motivated. is that it?   “           the vampire quips, golden hues regarding her with as much caution as she is interested.           “   i’ll have to disappoint you unfortunately, i don’t have much to speak of in terms of treasure.   “

@duskrhine  ,͟,͟ ͟ ͟✧͟    . .   a dragon would certainly accept an assortment of gold, jewels, anything that may potentially be of value. [the goddess readily replies, her greed evident as lips quietly pull into a confident smile. dark, maroon orifices shift to valentin, a certain intrigue dancing behind an unknowing stare.] or a person, a willing sacrifice will do. 

           adali only sighs,  offering a sheepish smile and an apologetic tilt to his head.  his hands fall to his sides,  curling.   ``    i guess it's just a habit,  and much easier to do it all at once.   " 

@srvitude,           brows pinch, an uncharacteristically serious expression from the vampire as he turns hands over in his own. once satisfied, he releases his hold.            “   if it’s a common occurrence, why not carry the books in batches?   “

       ``   it's nothing, really.   "  he's quick to shake his head,  hands held palms up at they are taken.    ``  it was a small pinch -   i do it all the time.   " 

     /  and u 

⠀⠀⠀ guard dog..?   ⦋  he takes the joke, as usual, to heart.   his ear flicks at the appreciated attention, head practically falling into  the palm.   ⦌     I can be a good guard dog! big boss always says so!  'm gonna be y'ur guard dog if it meand i get to stay,  yeah! 

@worIdeaters,            ⋆  perhaps.. he /did/ miss kiba’s boundless energy, shoulders relaxing & valentin allows himself to continue being held. kiba’s behaviour is.. endearing, so it isn’t as burdensome as other matters. his hand lifts to scratch a furred ear, tone dry with humour.  ⋆           never? oh, i’m terrified. becoming my guard dog now, are you?

⠀⠀⠀   do I!? I've been eatin' lots!    ⦋  his hold does not relent even a fraction. his toothy grin seems to only scrunch his cheeks higher, red strands of hair fall to the left, and ears topple over with the tilt.   ⦌     why wouldn't i see you,  lil' boss!?   I was lookin' everywhere!    'm  never lettin'  ya out my sights now! 

@theradiant,             ⋆  it was /strange/, but not repulsive—     valentin found himself thinking this, tilting his head up to allow the other man better access.  ⋆          i will scold you if i /want/ to, you cannot stop me.  your health could be affected, i wish you would take better care of yourself.

ah,  please..  do not scold me. ⠀⁽⠀the nobleman nuzzles to the crook of one's neck in a kittenish manner.  relishing the comfort,  the scent so uniquely valentin's.⠀⁾

@theradiant,              that is because you’re /cold/. you shouldn’t have stayed outside for so long,

@theradiant,             what if she did not allow it? what would you do then?

i will ask the madame of the house.. 

@theradiant,            .. and of your own duties? you should not shirk them.

@theradiant,             ⋆  the glare of golden hues grew sharp, pointed—       the sheer terror within them apparent. breaths heave, one arm clutching so hard to the other that creases formed. valentin huffs, forcibly calming himself within moments.  ⋆         i merely became overstimulated. it is.. not anything you should concern yourself over.

⁽⠀matthias frowns,  believing that wasn't the best approach..  and query to bring.⠀⁾ ⠀ i see..  i'm sorry.  i am aware that it is rude of me to meddle,  though i cannot help but be concerned.  you're free to speak to me,  any of the troubles you carry..  shouldn't be suppressed.

@theradiant,            i d͟o͟ ͟n͟o͟t͟—      i cannot bear another /second/ in that room. 

@duskrhine     ㅤ⟢     it was certainly a party, valentin.        [the serpent replies, his languid frame resting against the firm cushion of his seat as whomever had been close to him—had immediately scurried off upon the entrance of the    ..certainly beautiful noble.]      you glare at me despite my innocence, it was you who decided to come inside without knocking.       [a delicate chuckle escapes, a gloved hand resting against the side of his chin,]      why do you hate me so?

@swarmite,                they were. and surely that is enough of a message to convey that you are not welcome here?
