yes, yes. that’s all there is to it, dear ezekiel.. though of course there are games that require more strategy. but you’ve done really well today. ^^

            “   that’s right—   huh.   ..pfft—   c’mon,   i know all sorts of useful skills.   i ain’t just some guy who likes to slack off and has an addiction.   ”

⠀ ⠀  "    yup!     c'mon!!   "

            “   is..   that so..   [!]   woah woah woah,   hold on!   you’re gonna make me run after you!?   ”

⠀ ⠀ "   oh,   do not be so dramatic,   ezekiel!    i have always liked you!    c'mon,   let us go!    "

⋆  ouverte watches them leave, eyes following them the whole time. and his hand doesn't move from ezekiel's waist until the man disappears completely from view — -           then he smiles at the hound,  ⋆             "let's go, hm?"           ⋆  to which they seemingly lead him into a back room. but the moment they enter he lets go, and steps away.  ⋆             "are you alright? i wasn't sure whether you wanted me to intervene or not, but.. you know? my conscience wouldn't have let me just walk away."

@quatrdeal     !!
            to this,   he couldn’t help but rather a brow slightly,   a bit of amusement on his expression as he seemingly caught on.   the hounds body willingly pressed further against the others,   throwing a small glance towards the unwanted guest.   having gotten the clue,   the other took a step back before finally taking their leave—   not before sheepishly mumbling an apology.

⋆  their gaze flicks towards him, a subtle movement but still visible to ezekiel. he seemed to be saying,    'don't question it. play along.'     but then he turns towards that other man, smile turning a little more /forced/.   ⋆            i won't say it another time, sir. you'd do well to leave us alone now.

⠀ ⠀ i swear to the aeons,   ezekiel⎯⎯if you make me do something embarrassing.

            “   you already asked that!   haah..   let’s just keep it as a favor for a favor.   i’m doin’ ya a favor by lettin’ ya pass,   so when the time comes,   ya better do me a favor.   ”

⠀ ⠀ what exactly do you want,    ezekiel .ᐣ

            “   she’s always looking for ya.   where’d you run off to this time?   couldn’t even give her a proper answer when she asked.   ”

we’re fine. just the usual.. though i’m sure everything could be easier with you around.

@quatrdeal     !!
            “   neither am i,   that’s why i came runnin’ over ‘ere!   so,   what’s new with you?   anyone causin’ any trouble lately?   ”

well, it's not as if i'm particularly opposed. we do indeed get along, no?
