            [  putting aside huangqi's whines of protest,  cassiel chose to approach the blanketed analyst before scooping up his wrapped up form into his arms.  he then left the other's room in favor of going to their department's kitchen  ]  come on,  i'll make you some food.  will that get you to stop your whining for a bit?

⋆  a long whine sounds from beneath cocooned blankets, pronounced and exaggerating. the lump wiggles then lifts halfway only to flop back onto the bed, drawing itself tighter in response to the light.  ⋆        you’re horrible. aaargh. you’re horrible and mean and i hate youuuu. this is coercion. this is emotional warfare and manipulation. nooooooo.

            [  a deadpan expression could be seen,  well if it wasn't so dark that is,  on cassiel's face as he started at the complaining analyst who was currently holed up in his room.  without another word,  the agent went to the door of the room before fully opening it so a proper source of light could enter  ]  oh it'd sure be a shame if i told soleli that he should cut down your expenses on takeout food because you won't go outside..

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@holycrave 　)
            yet you still did the work instead of leaving it be.  so i'd take that as a sign of improvement compared to your usual laziness  [  cassiel could easily compare huangqi to a cat with how content the other seemed at his ministrations,  but he should propbably keep that thought of his to himself  ]  and nothing much as of late.  just the usual of tailing that one group soleli's been interested in for a while now.  you know which one i'm talking about right?

me understanding his reasoning doesn’t make it any less /annoying/.         ⋆  huangqi nuzzles the hand that brushes his face, chasing the warmth cassiel’s touch provided. a quiet, pleased hum emanating from him as he smiles up at the other.  ⋆        what about you, anything interesting happen lately? 

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@holycrave 　)
            well,  you know how he can be with the specifics.  especially when it comes to reports  [  his shoulders shrugged with a small chuckle.  cassiel couldn't help but notice that the analyst was still wearing his glasses,  choosing to carefully take them off the other's face so he'd be more comfortable  ]  hah,  don't go falling asleep with your glasses on.  they'll get bent if you're not careful

            [  a fallen leaf with picked up by cassiel and idly twirled between in fingers as he listened to ryujin's enthusiastic response with a laugh  ]  yeah,  that sounds fun!  that way we can go on all the adventures we want if we did

.. hm,  maybe about the future? ⠀⁽⠀supported by the hands which press against blades of grass and soil,  ryujin's head tilts upward.  in such deep thought,  he began.⠀⁾ ⠀if i were to fulfill my duties soon,  i want you to be by my side!

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@vermitic 　)
            you know i couldn't do that when i have to watch over you  [  cassiel let out a small sigh.  as much as he wanted to play with the other,  he had a responsibility as ryujin's bodyguard to fulfill!  though at hearing the other's words of boredom,  he briefly pondered to himself,  trying to come up with something they can do to pass time  ]  hm,  is there anything you want to talk about?

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@emanates 　)
            hm..  would you give me some time to think about it then?  i'll weigh out my options and consider things carefully if it means you wouldn't mind waiting to hear my answer

@erasures         ›             we didn’t become big targets because of this group.  if anything,  it doesn’t matter what we do.  it’s a matter if you’re willing to turn around and become one of those targets too.

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@emanates 　)
            you'd really be fine with me joining,  despite knowing who i work under?  i'd be putting an even bigger target your guy's backs if i were to do that

            i'm just happy i'll be able to use that arm again.  do you know how difficult it is to write with your non-dominant hand?  i should honestly start practicing writing with my left hand in case this happenes again  [  he sighed out briefly.  but the faint look of annoyance was quick to disappear at hearing lian yue's words,  causing him to smile with a nod of his head  ]  and sounds good.  i'll be looking forward to that then

@erasures         ›            you could have been,  you could have not been.  it depends on how well you kept your end of the promise.    [  lian yue replies,  settling down in front of the platinum blonde.  gloved hands slowly unwrapping the bandage,  and the doctor’s pleased to see how much it had healed ever since their last encounter.  ]      by next week,  you should be perfectly fine to continue as you did.  i’m glad you listened,  you recovered much quicker than i expected.    [  fingers linger for one more second before slipping away,  ]     i’ll bandage it again and you should be able to take it off yourself next sunday.  alright?   /then/,  i’ll teach you how to bandage everything yourself for next time.

            your text made it sound like i was in trouble.  had me worried for a second i did something wrong  [  he let out a light chuckle while approaching the blond.  he shortly after grabbed a nearby chair before sitting down on it with a nod of his head  ]  and as per the doctor's orders,  i've stayed put.  i wouldn't want to face your wrath if i went against your instructions after all

            i guess i should be taking it easy huh?  [  the swordsman replied with a small laugh as he set his arm onto the rest and let it relax  ]  and that's honestly a surprise given how most of the dici department stays indoors.  well,  aside from the small few like me that is

@erasures        ›          i don’t know.  this could’ve been the straw that broke the camel’s back,    [  the blonde teased,  a warm smile on his face as green orifices crinkle afterwards.  ]    of course,  it’s easier than you would think,  but i think it’s best to avoid anymore injuries.  among all my patients,  the dici department seems to hold first place with the most strenuous injuries.    [  after gathering all the supplies,  lian yue settles onto the seat next to the other.  ]    it’s no trouble,  doing this reminds myself—everyone,  we’re still people.  we all bleed the same,  don’t we?  now hold out your arm,  use the rest here so you don’t get tired.

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@medicology 　)
            hah,  you know i wouldn't actually do that  [  cassiel clenched his fist a couple of times to show the other that his arm still had some feeling in it before he looked at lian yue as if he had just come up with an idea  ]  actually,  mind giving me some lessons sometime on how to bandage up a wound?  i think it would be a pretty helpful skill for me to learn in case i get in a bind during a mission.  plus,  i'd hate to add more onto your workload seeing how much other patients would need your aid

/   OMG ??? IF U DO LET ME KNOW!!!! id absolutely love to plot w u <3 my discord is gingerhearts :D
            
            
                      i don't work with them , i suppose i feel .... connected with them is all . i can see people's souls as though they are transparent , your soul is ... the shade of the ocean and the sky 

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@embalmere 　)
            i guess people will wish to be remembered in a certain way even in death.  oh?  do you work with the souls?  or is that another job for someone else to do?
            
            ࿓̩̩̥     no bc i thought the same about you like the lore you made for him is so cool!  i was shy to interact too (* ´ ▽ ` *).  i actually planned on making an oc relating to the idea of either death or souls and wanted to ask if you'd be interested in maybe plotting seeing li shen's occupation

/   UR OC IS SO PRETTY TEW !!! i was a bit shy to interact bc u seemed so cool Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò
            
            
                    mostly , but some wish to pass their physical bodies on looking like they've lived life with wisdom beyond their years ... haah ... it's funny really , to know the body decomposes , yet the soul remains .

@erasures         ›            were you?  no,  you must have misunderstood.  we’re allies,  there’s no need to be so on edge in front of me.  it’s hurting my feelings.

⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀　 ────　　　( 　@inter-stellar 　)
            so i am right with my assumption..  then i'm better off keeping my mouth shut if my answer doesn't align to whatever beliefs you have

@erasures          ›           i’m afraid it’s not easy to hide how i feel,  my heart is worn on my sleeve.    [  although it could have easily been seen as a lie,  if anything.  noctis arms crosses over his chest as a small smile stretches across,  ]    there’s is no right or wrong response,  i’m just curious on why you hesitate.  is there a reason? 

@erasures         ›          and why would i explain anything to you?    [  he swallows,  vael’s eyes narrow as he slips between the crowd while the other chose to follow.  ]    they’re   ..just people i knew back when i was in the hollow bazaar.  it’s not known to many people in the cosmos.

            i can recognize ipc enforcers from a mile away.  those guys who were after you earlier didn't look like anyone from the corporation
