...mm, I do like listening to the subtle crashing of the waves on the shore. [ he might have to invest in a beach upgrade for his room. ] I do also spend a lot of time at the cabin. It reminds me of home, and I enjoy the serene atmosphere... Did sensei ever tell you he gave me the points to get that room following a bad game. [ huffs a laugh. ]

He didn't, but it doesn't surprise me. Sometimes when he acts as if he knows everything he is quite on the mark. Keenly perceptive to know what your heart desires when you do not.

Though I won't discount you are the same perhaps in a more overt way. He has been smiling more often, and I do believe I know why.

It was definitely a nice gesture that stood out, especially since it was so early on.

[ he feels his face heat up as he blushes. ] O- Oh, ah, well…
good, I’m glad. Sensei’s got a nice smile, so who wouldn’t want to see more of it.

I see. So it was friends you were looking for.

[He can't help but laugh.]

Because he's an asshole, know it all of an old man who selectively decides when to have good manners?

I hadn’t been looking for anything, but it’s hard to ignore something like that.

Mm, that’s definitely true. I think I wore him down though.

That is usually the case for what you need most.

He is good for you, and you for him. 'Tis why I am trying to encourage the both of you.

…so you can tell us both you told us so?

Can I not simply want you both to be happy?

You can. I didn't say otherwise. [ he's going to change into a fox and climb out of his lap to, instead, go back to sitting beside him. ]

[He scratches his ears and pets him softly.]

Are you feeling a little more at east at least?

[ he enjoys the pets more than he’ll admit aloud. ]

A little bit. My mask hasn’t recovered any, but that may take some time…

And what helps it heal?

I’m not actually sure. [ gently fingers the edge of his mask. ] Time?

[He pets the top of his head.]

Then you can stay here with me until you desire a different human blanket and warmth provider.

Your company is just fine, Emet. I spent all night with Xiansheng and I stopped by Taisho to see sensei.

Satisfied both are well? I know you derive comfort from them, but I imagine you were there to brighten their day as well.

You were also a hostage, I have not forgotten.

[He does take off his outer coat and wrap it around him. He has a billion layers anyway.]

[ oops! i forgot he’s still a fox. ]

[ nestles into emet’s coat, carefully trying to climb back into his lap. ]

… [ makes some kind of noise, gently pawing at any dangly bits emet has on his outfit. ] I’m glad you weren’t at the game.

[He will dangle them more enticingly for them as if he was a cat.]

Worried for me, are you?

[ sits up and sets a paw to emet's face. ] Of course I was. Do you think I want to see something happen to you, especially given your importance to Five sensei *and* myself. [ baps him. ]

[He laughs.]

Don’t take this as I’m not flattered nor do I harbor any self sacrificing tendencies. I value myself highly.

But I have lived and died a thousand thousand of your lifetimes. Physical death has little sway over me and while the results of the game are quite grizzly that is all they are. Physical.

So I do forget at times how upset he can be. And now you as well.

I have to disagree with you there. While most of the gauntlets they put us through are tortuous on a person’s physical body they can also wear on somebody mentally and emotionally and that takes infinitely more time to heal, but I’m glad you’re not interested in throwing yourself on the proverbial blade.

[ changes back so he’s basically straddling emet. ] I want a kiss. [ gently taps his lips. ]

My pride wishes I could say my mental fortitude was also quite solid, but there has been a game or two that has been trying.

Just a kiss?

[He says as he pulls that finger in his mouth to suck on it.]

Then I’m still going to keep an eye out for you following each game. You’re important to me and that comes at a cost. [ him caring, aggressively in some instances. ]

[ flushes, averting his eyes. ] In front of the mechanical horse, Emet, tsk~

I'm sure it's seen worse.

[He gropes his ass.]

I would be more worried it would be too windy and cold up here for it to be comfortable. And don't think I don't appreciate the care --- for I do greatly --- my view is slightly different, and I simply wished to impart that upon you.

[And he will bite his finger before pulling off so he can kiss him properly.]

[ laughs. ] Kinky. I didn’t know Mr. Horsie was a voyer, but if he takes after Uncle Emet, then that probably shouldn’t come as much of a surp^rise. [ his tone tilts upward as his ass is groped, another laugh following suit. ]

I don’t mind the cold. How could you forget I hail from the land of ice and snow. You don’t have to explain yourself. I get it. But even if it doesn’t bother you it may bother me or Five sensei and trying to help, pointless though it may be, is empowering and gives us the control that was so brutally torn away. So indulge us. I know you like to be pampered besides.

[ returns the kiss. ]
