[ this one is much more obviously a tease: ]

Oh, my bad. Were you saving that part for the Tunnel of Love?

[420blazeit]

I'm not about to call you daddy, Intensity.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Taking his.]

On three?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You'd like a water ride, wouldn't you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't want to be called that either.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Well, I do enjoy making a splash.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll pass it by R&D.

[As he finishes tugging Man Eater closer]

And see what they have to say.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he settles against Intensity, head leaning against his chest. ]

Here I thought this was a one-man operation.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now now. Blue Eyes has been my partner since the very beginning. You can't forget her.

[Said lightly as he runs his fingers through Izumu's hair]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ a soft snort. ]

Sorry, sorry, I worded that wrong. Shoulda been "one-man-one-dragon."

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[While still running his fingers through Man Eater's hair]

Figure out what the key was for yet?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ oh, right. he briefly glances down at the key in his hand, like he'd almost forgotten about it after everything at the end. ]

... Am I out of hints?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How about I give you a freebie? Since the note was a little -- how to say? --- misleading.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ lifts an eyebrow. ]

Is that right...? Lay it on me, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's going to take Izumu's hand then and lead them out of the reception room and back outside.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ ...?

he lets Intensity tug him along, instinctively lacing their fingers together. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And when he gets outside, shutting the doors behind him, he points to old-fashioned manual locking mechanism on the door. That is to say, it requires a physical key.

This space is yours to do with as you will. Only that key will open it. Low-tech so a FiN would have to be extra clever to get inside.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he looks at the key in his hand, then at the door, his eyebrows going up as the pieces finally fall into place. ]

So it's not exactly a "public" spectacle, after all.

[ it doesn't sound like a complaint, though; he huffs a laugh, his expression soft. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That's your choice if you want to open it up to the public or not. Though I'd fix up the outside if you do that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Nah; I kinda like the idea of having a monopoly on something. Think I'll stick to private showings.

[ he puts the key in the lock, clicking it shut.


a few moments after it's decisively locked, he thunks his forehead against the door. then, he mumbles faintly: ]

... Thanks.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He doesn't reply because of course he doesn't. But he does squeeze his hand and let him linger there for a while.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he just stays like that for a few long seconds, then finally straightens up, pushing himself off the door. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ WELL .........

This was an easily foreseeable outcome, actually.

Murmured, fingers curling against his coat: ]

Should we relocate?
