@crimrosed,              dunno.. i’m just as clueless as you are.

"⠀hehe,   so it's that kind of relationship huh?   i see,   you must be shy.⠀"   deune was only teasing of course,   that playful grin says it all.   but it's seemingly quite genuine.

@crimrosed,             .. what? we’re — -         we’re PARTNERS. I MEAN. NOT IN THAT WAY. /he works with me./

@archials,             ⋆  vanitas stops, pausing. he would’ve left anyway, but something tells him /not/ to. as strange as he found that.  ⋆            what.. ? what is it.

@nouvelune         ،̲،̲               his eyes widen,   a hand reaching out to him before retracting immediately.      “wait—      (..)      okay.”

@archials,           yes, yes, of course. stay put then, i’m going to find jeanne.

@archials,              ⋆  vanitas shrieks, spitting curses and protests alike till he's altogether flung across altus' skies with a comically loud scream. the feeling of weightlessness is something he's used to, really.. but not when he's being /thrown/.. ! he flies through the air for what seems like an eternity, rising and then descending in a long arc till he's caught in the steady hold of his companion. gasping for breath, heart pounding but thankfully unharmed, as evidenced by his continued (lighthearted) complaints.  ⋆           i am NOT FINE. i told you to stop throwing me around like i'm some projectile!

@nouvelune         ،̲،̲               “you’ll be fine!”      without a second thought,   noé uses all of his strength to throw vanitas.   immediately leaping across the rooftops to evade the other vampires,   and once he landed back on the street,   arms extend out to catch the ravenette.      “see?”

@archials,            .. no. i’m not ready. DO NOT THROW ME. HANDS OFF — -

@archials,            are you serious. /that's/ all i had to do?!        (  ...  )        .. thanks.

@nouvelune         ،̲،̲               “like this!   see?”

@archials,            .. hah? then show me how exactly, oh great noé.

@archials,            ⋆  he lifts the woman with a surprising gentleness, propping her against a nearby wall so she’s upright. at noé’s comment he nods slightly, sure of himself on that front at least.  ⋆           she’ll be /just fine/, noé. dante and the others’ll have gone to inform orlok already, there’s nothing to worry about. so you can stop fussing.

@nouvelune          ،̲،̲               “right.”      his voice quiets down after awhile,   gaze planted to the floor now as he feels that he may have been overstepping his boundaries.      “is it alright now?”      he asks,   moving forward and kneeling down to quietly observe the woman who had now fell unconscious.   brows furrowing slightly as he felt a bit perplexed by the situation itself.      “do you think she’s gonna be okay now?”

@archials,                ⋆  the ‘human’ glances at his companion, taking in the puppy-like behaviour he displayed in response.        (cute,)        was what floated through his mind at first, before he caught himself. firmly squashing that thought down, he turns back to the unconscious curse-bearer before him.  ⋆             i need to /concentrate/, idiot. the faster this is done, the sooner we can go back to the hotel.            ⋆  sure enough it doesn’t take a while, a quiet affair in comparison to the theatrics vanitas usually employed in previous escapades. but once it’s done he sits back, shoulders loosening with barely apparent relief.  ⋆

@nouvelune       ،،̲              with the click of his tongue,   annoyance etched on porcelain features.   his sheathed blade goes to stop the other,      “she’s not here,   vanitas.”

@serpentiss,           yeah? well, i’ve got business with her. outta my way.

/     maybe..

@serpentiss,             / CMONNNN. I NEED YAOI

@nouvelune     /   ARRRRRGGGHHHHHH

“⠀if one is so inclined then i suppose i can leave my matters at rest.   what place is this by the way?⠀”

@chenyvale,          YES! come on, come on.. this place has like, the best dim sum ever! you won't regret coming along. it's my treat, so don't worry about the cost! :D
