Re: OPPRESSION.... I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUSY WITH GRAD PREP SO I DIDNT WANT TO BOTHER U JHFGDK

[innerdaemons]

[ look he had some good quality times in the imperial labs, after all the experimentation and whatnot. he does peer curiously at the assistant, ]

Earl gray, please. Does it make good tea, is the question?

[weenwoon]

[please don't orchestrate teen torture in the fin dorm to recreate your good quality times :'(

also it's a question of how much levity knows about bird vore crimes everyone had to deal with.]

Well, Nike was a genius with both food and beverages! I have faith. But if it's not to your taste, I can just drink it myself!

[The robobird beeps and waddles off, soon enough to return with! a tray holding the teacups! one earl gray, one whatever herbal monstrosity levity goes for. he takes his own cup, settling back on the couch.]

So... what is it you wanted to talk about? I hope you do realize you made it sound quite ominous.

[innerdaemons]

I realize I did! It is a poor habit of mine.

[ he takes the earl gray cup, wafting the smell up to his nostrils, he doesn't SEEM disgusted with birdtea ]

I will be graduating, soon -- becoming one of the friendly denizens of Hell.

[weenwoon]

Well, it can be a little endearing. As long as the matters you describe ominously are in fact mainly mundane.

[also good, don't be mean about the birdtea :'( levity would cry!

and speaking of crying - or rather, negative emotions-adjacent... Levity freezes with his own cup halfway to his lips, his face falling. well. that sure is... news?]

... oh. You're... leaving?

[innerdaemons]

[ oh no :'( ]

Yes. Though I will not be far -- close enough to write, to visit.

[weenwoon]

[OKAY... GOOD............ he breathes out quietly, then reaches out to put his hand over Absinthe's gently.]

...Please do. I would... miss you all too much otherwise.

[innerdaemons]

[ a wry, soft smile, and he covers Levity's hand with his own (putting down the teacup briefly to accomplish this) ]

Selfishly, I would miss you too much as well -- to go completely without contacting you.

[weenwoon]

[wah/// he can't help smiling fondly at that.]

Only you would call it selfish to care about someone. But, to play along... Selfishly, I am flattered and happy to hear that you would miss me.

[innerdaemons]

[ half-amused; ]

Is it selfish to enjoy my attention?

[weenwoon]

Is it selfish for you to enjoy mine?

[innerdaemons]

Oh, yes. I'm very greedy, as you're aware.

[weenwoon]

[CUTE, ACTUALLY... Levity laughs, leaning in closer to give him a kiss on the cheek.]

That makes two of us. I am perhaps simply better at cloaking it!

[innerdaemons]

[ he smirks, unable to help it ]

Oh yes, if you are known for one thing it is being sly.

[weenwoon]

[oh he's so smug]

Well, it certainly appears to have worked, doesn't it?

[innerdaemons]

Yes -- you have charmed me despite all my best efforts.

[weenwoon]

[raises his eyebrows, surprised but amused]

Really? Was there effort to resist on your side?

[innerdaemons]

Some, perhaps, when you were getting a bit closer to me.

[weenwoon]

[as a gremlin, he can't help wanting to make a bad pun. scooting closer to Absinthe]

Like this?

[well, no, he knows what he means, but you know.]

I wonder if it's a good or a bad thing that I did not particularly notice.

[innerdaemons]

[ a soft huff of amusement ]

I wouldn't consider it a bad thing -- I think you would be stubborn, regardless, if you had noticed.

[weenwoon]

Oh, most certainly. I was rather too interested in you to give up.

[He moves away slightly with a soft laugh, finally raising his cup to take a sip of his tea.]

Do you remember how you chided me for saying that I love you so soon after our meeting?

[innerdaemons]

[ he hums, and takes a sip of his tea himself, in thought ]

Not the details, but that does sound very familiar.

[weenwoon]

Ohh, I'm hurt! Here I expected you to remember every detail of our every encounter.

[He laughs again, drinking some more of the tea.]

It was during that kissing game, when we ended up going to the love hotel. I insisted that we should dance, and then said that I love you.

[innerdaemons]

Oh, yes!

That was quite early on, was it not?

[weenwoon]

Indeed! We'd only known each other for a couple days.

[innerdaemons]

I don't believe I was incorrect in my assessment, then.
