When you return. What are you up to?

[maskreant]

[ He’s sending photos of Pesgare in a spectrum of purple to teal, including the sand and ocean. ]

all right, you big baby.

painting Pesgare, but we’re going to head out to calm down some sea ponies tomorrow. what about you?

[twostringsonebow]

[Oooh..! How pretty, in a little girl's room way. No complaints, no complaints. ♪]

Laying around, doing nothing. I am being very, very lazy, while you are hard at work. Belle misses you.

[Followed up by a picture of the cat curled up on some of Akira's left over clothes, a nice little nest.]

I do too. Are the sea ponies like real horses, do you know, or more like seahorses?

[maskreant]

you deserve a break, so rest up my sweet prince.

i miss you, too. based on what the locals are telling us, they’re like mermaid horses. they’re harmless for the most part, so wish me luck in befriending them for some of their blood



wait





are those my clothes?

[ EXCUSE YOU? YOU LITTLE SHIT. ]

[twostringsonebow]

Did you say you were befriending them for their blood?

[Akira.]

[maskreant]

i asked my question first.

[ Goro. ]

[twostringsonebow]

Yes, it is. My question now.

[maskreant]

their blood can help recolor and stabilize the city, so we're going to extract some.

it'd be better if we stayed on good terms.

[ Only reasonable sizes!! ]

[twostringsonebow]

I know I say this a lot, but do be careful, won't you..? Being able to switch to a Persona that can keep you from harm or heal you is nice and convenient, but I'd like it if you didn't get hurt in the first place.

[maskreant]

i won't be too reckless, but i'll probably get roughened up, anyway.

not so much where i can't come home to you. promise.

[twostringsonebow]

[Ah... Mm, that's comforting, he's smiling and playing with Belle idly.]

I'll hope you keep your word on that, Akira.
You'll want to be able to eat the curry I'm making for your return after all.

[And cuddle with him, of course. Goro's always clingy after Akira's off for a time.]

[maskreant]

[ CURRY!! ]

ever thought that maybe you spoil me too much?

not that i mind. i'm very deserving of your love and attention.

[ Sometimes... But he doesn't add that. ]

[twostringsonebow]

Please, making you curry isn't spoiling you, it's a welcome home gift.

... But sometimes, maybe. I don't see anything wrong with showering the one I love the most with that adoration though. Especially since I know you love me just as much. <3

[A bold assumption, a confident and Cute assumption. At least he's over being self-conscious about claims.]

[maskreant]

any gift is spoiling me.

[ He's staring at his text like he's reading a different language he can't understand, but holy hell is his face burning up. Thank Christ everyone else is exhausted from painting and knocked out early or else they would see this nervous and slightly giddy smile on his face.

Give him a moment.

Give him five minutes.

Give him ten minutes.

It has been read for fifteen minutes. ]

how can you type that out so easily?

[twostringsonebow]

[... He's been on read for a while now. Goro isn't worried about if he'd said the wrong thing or not, but man. Playing with Belle's a good pastime until Akira finally replies.

Pfft.]

It's always easier for me to type things, Akira, but I think I could say it with little issue too.

My secret?











I love you.

[maskreant]

[ STop. ]

I'm sorry; the number you have reached is not in service, or temporarily disconnected.

[twostringsonebow]

Akira.

Pick up when I call you, okay?

[buzz buzz bitch pick up.]

[maskreant]

[ NO......... he doesn't end the call, just letting it ring. ]

why should i?

[twostringsonebow]

[you're such a bitch,]

Don't you want to hear my voice?
And I rather would like to see if you get flustered again when I tell you I love you.

[maskreant]

[ bitch are you challenging him?

He picks up the phone, but it's silent on this side. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[There we go. Goro lets the quiet linger for a moment, then speaks up, soft and lyrically.]

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight...

[stop him he will go through this entire sonnet.]

[maskreant]

[ He doesn't interrupt him, but there's some rustling... However, he does send him a text. ]

look. it's you.

[twostringsonebow]

[..?

Akira can hear the music as he watches the short video, a soft sigh following the end.]

Yes, yes, it's me. I'm guessing you can't speak freely as I can? [...] No matter, you're cute and dear to me alwags. I love you with all the light the sun offers and moon holds to her heart, um... I'm no good at poetry, forgive me for going off of Miss Browning's sonnet.

[maskreant]

[ Isn't it perfect?? ]

I can. [ He speaks softly, but he's worried that anyone, even an ant, can hear them. ] It suits you better than me.

[ He still remembers when he dictated the sonnet. They were just playing around at his place after their little breaking and entering. This is still mighty embarrassing, though. ]

Are you going to stop?

[twostringsonebow]

Not if you don't want me to, I suppose. [...] Do you want me to stop, chouchou?

[He knows he's a little much at times. Many times.]
