Rhode Kamelot | D. Gray-man | OU | Host

[suchselfishness]

[She restless, impatient; sitting down in her pretty dress, getting up and pacing for a few minutes, then repeating the process. Rhode isn't sure what-- or who-- she is waiting for, but the door won't open from the inside, and she has never enjoyed any kind of confinement.]

Chrome Dokuro | Katekyo Hitman Reborn | OU | Host

[thedovetailed]

[By pure luck, someone did not secure Chrome's room as well as they should have and the young girl managed to escape. She runs through the hallways, trying desperately to find the way out when she hears footsteps approaching. Not sure of what else to do, Chrome opens the door of the nearest room and ducks inside in an attempt to hide. Breathing heavily, she sinks to the floor, leaning against the door. It is then she notices Rhode.

...What. What on Earth.]

Rh-Rhode?

[suchselfishness]

[Rhode freezes just as she's about to flop down on the chaise again, staring at Chrome with a startled expression. After a few moments, she gets to her feet again, walking over to check the door--

Still locked, damn it--

Before turning back, crouching down a few feet in front of the other girl. She doesn't look terribly pleased.]

You shouldn't have let the door close, stupid.

[thedovetailed]

[Her eyes widen in realization. Oh. Oh no. Rhode's right, she shouldn't have. Hiding carelessly was all well and good but useless if she wanted to be able to escape again. Her eyes lower to the floor in shame.]

You are correct. I apologize for my foolishness.

[suchselfishness]

[Oh, not this again. Rhode isn't very impressed with the apology, or the shameful expression. She reaches out to tug at a piece of Chrome's hair; not hard enough to be rough or mean, but enough to smart.]

Good. Now, stop being so stiff and formal. It's boring, and it's not like there's anyone else here.

[thedovetailed]

[She winces at tug before giving a small, helpless shrug.]

I... I do not know how. This is... natural, for me.

[At least she manages to resist apologizing.

[suchselfishness]

[Rhode smiles, but it's not very nice as smiles go. Predatory, like a creature about to make a kill. Chrome's submissive behavior has always been rather fascinating for her, but today it feels oddly... exciting.]

Haven't you got any spine at all? Any desire to stand up for yourself?

[She shifts forward to her knees, leaning in a bit; invading her personal space on purpose, testing how easily she's intimidated by her proximity.]

[thedovetailed]

[Her natural, near-permanent blush deepens slightly and she tries to lean backwards, a feeble attempt to get away. It doesn't work out so well, seeing as she's backed up against the door. Maybe if she tries shifting sideways...]

When it counts.

[suchselfishness]

[Not letting her get away that easily, Rhode gets up on her knees, reaching out to support herself on the door with one arm. She wants to test this girl's limits. See if she'll fight or roll over.]

And when is that?

[thedovetailed]

When my life, or the lives of those I care about are in danger.

[So much for shifting, then. Maybe if she stands then this... behavior will end. Maybe.]

[suchselfishness]

[That stumps Rhode, leaving her facing Chrome's legs instead of her face. Frowning, she starts getting to her feet, but it's quite the awkward pose to climb out of. She ends up practically clambering upright on top of the other girl, stumbling so even she is uncomfortable with their proximity-- But she draws back when she has her balance.]

Pity he likes you so much. I could have a lot of fun with you.

[thedovetailed]

[Careless, Chrome lowers her eyes again. The sad reality. She doesn't bother to raise her voice, now barely above a whisper.]

I suspected as much...

[suchselfishness]

[She wasn't expecting that reaction. Her eyes narrow, almost suspiciously.]

Suspected what?

[thedovetailed]

That his disapproval of you harming me protects me.

[suchselfishness]

[For some reason, that makes Rhode angry. She restrains herself, though, hands knotting into fists.]

Don't flatter yourself. I want to hurt nearly everyone.

[But even then, his disapproval would factor in. What a weakness to have developed; what a shame she'd be, if her Family could see her now.]

[thedovetailed]

[Chrome notices and tries to make herself seem bigger, not at all intimidated. But she can't focus, knows she doesn't have her powers to back herself up and she shrinks again, into herself. She just... really doesn't have any idea of how to behave around or handle this girl and it keeps getting worse.]

Why?

[That is... frightening. How well is it truly contained?]
