[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...

It might have been somewhat less obvious. {hay he likes Minas.}

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Nothing else sounded ironic enough. [8|]

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have taunted you too much for taking a leaf out of my book.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

[He settles back almost comfortably beside him, glancing to his face.] And what's that? Should I have gone with 'Icarus'?

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

Icarus, with his poorly-maintained wings? In some places it might have been appropriate.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Flying too high towards the sun? I wonder if that would have suited Xehanort more than me.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

There, you see, a back-handed reference. Something a bit more subtle.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to suggest it to him when he decides to take over.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

Splendid. My work here is done.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Sarcasm isn't very attractive on you, you know. [Sips tea.]

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

I had no idea that you contemplated what would or would not render me attractive.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Aesthetics are unconscious, aren't they?

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

So it was a knee-jerk reaction. I see.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Don't flatter yourself.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

I thought it was more as if I was letting you off the hook.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

You made it sound like I was bowled over by looking at you.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

[shrugs.] Would you rather I teased you?

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure our definitions of that word would be the same.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

What is your definition?

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

To make fun of, to annoy someone...

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

Have you often been teased?

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I'll answer that when you answer my question. What's your definition of the word?

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

Not so different, really.

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Every kid gets teased at some point. I just made myself better than that.

[illusionomicon.livejournal.com]

Better than teasing, or being teased?
