[It's been a long few days, back to back of work. He's caught naps in between but that's mostly it, and now he's just grateful that he has the rest of the day to himself. He pushes himself up the three flights of stairs through the store today, grabbing three books from the shelves without paying. He'll return them, he silently promises, as he trudges up the last few steps. He just needs something to put him out later.

He unlocks the door to his apartment and steps inside, dumping the books on the side opening to the kitchen as he shrugs off his vest.]

Ebony, come here, I'll feed you.

[Riku briefly ducks into the kitchen to put some fresh dry food in her bowl; he washes his hands and then walks into the living room, destined to flop himself down on his couch.]

Finally...

Did I say anything? [He pops it in his mouth; the pit comes out a few moments later and he briefly swipes his tongue over his index finger.] That was a group of us. The mother nearly killed two of my friends.

How fortunate that she didn't.

[He shoots him a glare.] I will spill that tea down your jacket if you say that again. They're not even from our world.

{smirks, his eyes narrowing somewhat.} Do you go alone, now?

You'll find that's a trend with me, doing things on my own. [And he takes another two cherries.]

{ignoring that :|}

That, I could see being safer with you alone. If they were less skilled...

Less skilled or not... You're more obvious when there's more people. [He actually gives a slight smirk at that.] But it's good to know that you're confident in my abilities.

Are you flattered?

Maybe. [He smothers the widening smirk with his mug as he takes another sip of his tea.]

{laaaauughingggggg.}

[Pause.] ...What's so funny?

Must you ask?

You usually only laugh when you find something ironically amusing.

What does that tell you?

That I shouldn't openly try to appease you with anything I say. [Another sip of his tea.]

Good boy.

[Eyeroll.] What if I was just being honest?

I'd still be amused that my approval mattered enough to you that you were flattered to get it.

Trust me, if your opinion mattered so much... [And there's a pause here as he looks directly at him, in the eyes.] ...then I'd be doing everything you said to do.

[Aaaand he takes another cherry, popping it in his mouth.]

And now your passenger is kicking in his sleep.

Jealous for my attentions, I suppose. Which one is the better puppeteer, the schemer or the seeker of darkness? [He spits out the pit and puts it on the plate, wiping his hand with a napkin.]

{shrugs, eats another cherry.} You tell me, Riku.

I can't say. You're two entirely different people; you can't be compared. [He takes another long sip of his tea.]

It doesn't stop some from making every endeavor to.

Why would you want to compare yourself to him? Was he that important, that interesting?
