@evolus         “you sure? you’re usually starving by now.” caleb’s voice was low, eyes studying him with a slight edge of concern despite his casual tone. “don’t let it go on too long. could get worse before it gets better.” he added, the warning       lingering in the air as he leaned back slightly, watching closely.

@duluge   |      Of course.  Why wouldn’t it be?    (He mused,  a weak smile on his lips as his fork messes with the food on his plate.  Eyes narrow,)    I just don’t have much of an appetite today.  It’s alright.

@duluge   |    I did.  I had a reason to trust you,  Caleb.  I just don’t know if we can share that same sentiment as before.    (The tense nature between the two is felt from between his shoulders,  and to the very insides of his body.  It felt like Caleb carved a part of himself into the depths of his soul.  Eyes,  as a result,  would squeeze close.)    I don’t want to talk about this anymore,  please go.

@evolus          “trust me?” his gaze sharpened, his voice cool but carrying a hint of bitterness. “you’ve never had much reason to, have you?” he leaned forward slightly, his eyes locking with the other’s. “but maybe, just maybe, you should start.”

@duluge   |      Am I supposed to trust you,  Caleb?

@duluge   |      Is this another way of you trying to protect me?    (There’s a hint of anger in his voice,  it wavers as she looks away.  Just why were there things he’d want to hide?  Why did he feel like he didn’t an owe an explanation /now/,  but later?)

@evolus          “you really want to know how i’m alive?” caleb’s tone was low, more serious than teasing. “trust me, it’s not something you want to hear.”      he glanced over his shoulder, eyes narrowing. “but i’ll explain when the time comes.”

@duluge   |      I don’t know,  maybe it’s because there’s nothing else to do?  You tied me up to this chair,  interrogated me,  not to mention..  how are you alive?

@gundemn      You’re in my fucking way.  Move.

@miracleshots      ＊      This is how you go in debt.  Good luck in squid games bruh

@miracleshots      ＊      Tell me about it.    (His body leans back,  exhaustion settling in as he stares off into a whole lot of nothing.)    I’m exhausted,  hungry,  and we didn’t even kill it.  We’re cooked.

@miracleshots       ＊       Was it you?  Geez,  it reeks.  Unless you’re lying..  is there a wanderer in there?  How did you manage—

@resollure        ＊      I can’t help it,  you know.    (He practically gushes,  if only they were a real cat!  Perhaps Eméle should adopt one soon.)    Oh yeah.  I forgot!! Where were we again?

these evol kitties aren’t even REAL!   i don’t know why you’re so attached to them.      [an exasperated huff escapes youran’s lips.]      anyway, you’re ruining our game.   it’s your turn.   >:(

@resollure       ＊       But this one is so cute.     (He replies,  uttering with a bit of exaggerated pain.  Frowning as he holds the small thing close to his chest.)

@resollure        ＊         (A hand grasps his side,  shooting an accusatory look before rolling his eyes.)    Okay,  okay,  be quick!!

      be quiet!      [   a sharp jab from youran’s elbow is received by the other’s rib.  ]      i’m almost there, just watch me!

@resollure       ＊       This is what we called cheating.  Hey,  officer.  OFFFFICCEEE—   UMPH!   Ow!  What was that for?

@kaelists
                         shit.  you call this just a tumble,  just a scrape?  you're bleeding,  let me look at it.
