{IC} Lust plot post.

[Linner'd been heading home with a bag of groceries in one hand and a bag of ice for his freezer in the other when oh good lord.He does immediately suspect the DR, but that doesn't help him much. He thinks he knows what will, though

[THERE'S ALWAYS TIME TO TEASE MARLICKS especially when stood behind them out of nowhere.]

Couldn't you wait until you were in the room, Marik?

[devilin_details]

[Linner had thought he'd grown out of actually physically starting when someone surprised him. Thought he'd grown out of being surprised, too.

Yeah, no. He'll kind of be jumping a little before he turns around and - oh great, a "Thistle" (though really, more of a male "Ivy") someday he really needs to learn the proper names for the various bakurae subspecies. He calms himself down and shrugs.]

Apparently not. I didn't think it'd be an issue. [Have as much of a smirk as he can muster.]

[kingofkulelna]

You should be prepared for anything in a place like this.

[devilin_details]

[He runs a hand through his hair nervously, but the smirk is stronger now.]

You know, you're absolutely right. Someday I really should find out who's in charge and speak to them about all this.

[He goes to try and push open the door more, not wanting to seem like he's running away but uh. Kind of obvious anyway.]

[kingofkulelna]

There isn't anyone in charge.

[If attempting a conversation is going to wind up this Marlick, so be it.]

[devilin_details]

[Consider the Marlick wound. In more ways than one, but. He was like that when you found him. He knows he's being played with but right now he's not thinking very well.]

So I've heard. It's rather frustrating to be subjected to gods-knows-what with no one to blame for it, don't you think?

[Maybe this one'll take a hint. Linner sets about pulling his belt all the way free of his pants, though like hell he's doing anything more than that.]

[kingofkulelna]

It did have a leader once, you wouldn't have liked who it was.

[He doesn't seem to be taking any hints.]

[devilin_details]

Ah? [But he's beyond honestly wanting to avenge himself on the DR. That's his younger self's schtick.] I'm sure not.

[He leans on the doorframe, belt off, and just calls a spade a spade.]

Is bothering people your hobby, or am I just especially fortunate?

[kingofkulelna]

It all depends on the person.

ffff i love bloom's icons so much fyi

[devilin_details]

[He chuckles, trying not to be impatient.]

And I was in a particularly vulnerable situation. Fair enough.

Anything I could do to make myself less interesting? I'm sure we're all - busy this week.

thank you |D;;;

[kingofkulelna]

Not really. Experience tells me that your type can be very amusing.

[He could mean...anything by that.]

[devilin_details]

[He'll just take it to mean what he wants it to mean, then. Or what he wants to want it to mean. Linner has a gift for necessitating truly awful syntax.]

My doubles? I'll bet. Touchy little things, aren't they. Now you've almost got me curious....if you like messing with them then we share a pastime.

[kingofkulelna]

[He chuckles.]

Unfortunately the one I know best doesn't take it very well.

[devilin_details]

[He shifts his position, crossing his legs as he leans against the door, but at least it's not the subject matter of their conversation making him antsy anymore.]

Well, now you've just got to specify. Maybe we've got a mutual acquaintance.

Which one?

[He hopes it's one he knows. If not, there's even more of him running around than he'd thought.]

[kingofkulelna]

His nickname is Dawn.

[devilin_details]

[That gets a great big chuckle out of him.]

I was hoping you'd say that. --All right, there's two I was hoping for, but he was one.

Yes, he'd react well. I don't see much of him, but we always end up having - interesting conversations.

[He rubs the scar on his arm unconsciously, catches himself (stupid habit), but lets himself continue.]
