[puzzlekeeper]

[ Wow way to harsh the mood!!

His hands still altogether. ]


... What?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[King's low low standards]

Never encountered one though. Maybe they were too good at hiding it. Maybe Azzy never even bothered to show.

Or maybe the ratings were so low they instead only brought in Damned that wouldn't know subtle villainy if it bit them in the ass.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ This isn't the most unexpected twist Intensity has led them down in even the past 12 hours, so, it's fine. ]

Disappointed?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't you get tired of not making progress?

[puzzlekeeper]

Of course I do.

It was more of a rhetorical question.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then my rhetorical answer is yes. I'm disappointed. And tired. Of many things.

Of repetition.

And complacency.

And waiting.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ A low sigh ]

Yes.

I feel much the same.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Muttering something unintelligible as he settles back down against King]

Saw your Court before they were shipped out?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ And his hands go right back to threading into Intensity's hair. ]

Only one of them.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[The tension starts to bleed out of him (perhaps unintentionally) as Intensity shifts to give King better access. And also to give himself better access to he can run the back of his fingers along the line of King's collarbone]

Settled all the mysteries of the past that you were aiming for?

[puzzlekeeper]

"All" seems like a lofty goal when I don't even know what to wonder.

But the two mysteries I was most concerned with... yes.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Still not quite looking at him]

And you're content with both answers?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ The movements of his hand hesitate for a moment, then resume again. ]

I think so.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's not very reassuring.

Or is it one of those - creates more questions than answers them - kind of deals?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Huffs a little in amusement. ]

There's a little bit of that, yes. Any question about the past was bound to be that way.

But my second request was simply my name, which was perfectly straightforward.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't tell me it's Yugi.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ LAUGHS ]

It's not Yugi.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good.

I bet that would make the sex awkward.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Freezing, scandalized ]

Intensity.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks up at King "innocently"]

I'm not wrong.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Puts a hand in his face and SHOVES ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Laughs as he is shoved.

But your bed is now too big to shove him off completely so what now, King?]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Roll them so that he's on top, obviously! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[O b v i o u s l y.

As he reaches up in an attempt to grab one of King's wrist before he gets pinned]

Hit a nerve, Your Excellency?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He lets Intensity grab his wrist, apparently satisfied just with being on top this time.

Leaning down until they're nose-to-nose. ]

I was thinking I've been far too lenient with you.
