018 ♠ video ♠ just one more disappearance

[ragnalol]

[there's the sound of wry laughter, and the screen's view is limited to his gaudy purple suit. he's sitting on the windowsill.]

'Made me not mind being cursed.' Idiot.

Oh, well. I hope that old fogey finally gets what he wants back home.

[his voice cracks a little, and he laughs again - a little more quietly, this time. ]

[Sigh]

What happened?

[ragnalol]

[too drained to come up instantly with snark]

Naoya left.

[knifenut]

[Be glad that Mai likes you a little more than the average person, Loki, because otherwise she'd probably be saying something possibly jerkass-ish.

But even though she knows what it's like to have a loved one disappear, sympathy isn't really her thing, so all she can say is--]

Oh.

[ragnalol]

[lmao. like he expected anything else from you, Mai. still, it's appreciated.]

A woman of few words, aren't you?

[knifenut]

[Hey, she was a bitch to someone else who lost someone. You're getting special treatment.]

Would you rather I say something else?

[ragnalol]

[...d'awww MAI-CHAN IS SO NICE]

Nah, I like you the way you are.

[knifenut]

[SHHHH, DON'T TELL ANYONE.]

... Thanks, I guess?

[ragnalol]

[YOUR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME]

Ah, Mai-chan is so cute!

[knifenut]

Not exactly the word I'd use to describe myself.

[ragnalol]

...helpful? Empathetic? Pale? Needs a tan?

[knifenut]

... Out of that group, let's just go with 'pale.'

[ragnalol]

I'm dragging you out for more sun, then.

[...why, this is a nice distraction.]

[knifenut]

[Glad to help.]

What, are you my personal caretaker now?

[ragnalol]

No, I'm your date. Remember that one movie date I asked you out on?

[knifenut]

You sure that hasn't expired yet?

[ragnalol]

I didn't know those things had expiry dates!
