( two ) action in castlebling-- i mean, the guilded castle

[stillnotouchie]

[ More specifically, just outside of the Guilded Castle, Rob has planted a little bean! He has spent most of the day thinking about what to do with it, and finally came to the conclusion, by the time evening rolled around, that planting it would be the most sensible idea. Armed with no gardening tools or experience, Rob digs a little hole in a

[Julian has taken to furtively creeping around Castle Bling in a (normally fruitless) effort to evade Alex's stalking. Even now he is sliiiiiding along the edges of the hallway and pausing at the front door with his face creased in to a look of utmost concentration as he listens out for movement on the other side of the door]

[and lo! Approaching footsteps!]

[not knowing that it was Rob - and not Alexander - making his way back to the castle Julian looks around the hallway wildly for somewhere to hide. A second later he is bundling himself behind a wooden chest (still full of cat food) and crouching in the shadows with his eyes screwed shut as he desperately hopes not to be noticed]

[mongoosegrin]

[you are so cute.

you'll get yours.]

[stillnotouchie]

[ touch him and Rob will be most upset
and challenge you to a FAIL FIGHT ]

[stillnotouchie]

[ ... nah just a massive fail ]

[ alex, don't make julian write a sternly-worded cease and desist letter alright ]

[mongoosegrin]

[aw my first pen pal letter!

[ Rob is quite oblivious to Julian's hiding tactics, calmly wandering along the corridors, lost to his own (loud) thoughts. ]

I think it's getting better, the whole "different times" thing... maybe I should talk to him about us. No, no, no that'd probably be a bad idea. I haven't been here for long. [ he sighs, quietly, to himself ] I almost wish I could go home again, but I'd hate to leave him here alone again. I couldn't bear it.

[oh dear let's talk about oblivious, shall we]

[delighted that it was Rob and not the strange little Mr. Darkov, Julian grabs the edge of the chest and partially hauls himself out with a strangled hiss:]

Rob! Rob! Over here!

[he doesn't particularly want to leave his shadowy hiding place now that he's there, so he just waves his hand frantically and gestures for Rob to join him]

[stillnotouchie]

[ Rob whirls around at the sound of Julian's voice, raising his brows at him and immediately changing course to beeline towards him, like a very obedient and loving puppy. He assumes that the loud thoughts are limited to Alex, so he does not think at all about potentially censoring his thoughts. ]

Julian? Speak of the devil! What are you doing down there?

[bloodaholic]

Um. Hiding.

[And he doesn't sound too happy a bout it. Julian reaches out to (carefully) grasp at Rob's sleeve and tug him down to join him in the shadowy spot on the floor.]

Hiding a lot, in fact. [he forces a grin and adds with manic brightness:] How are you?

keywords very much appropriate

[ KYA joins Julian on the floor, practically falling over in the process - his hands are still a bit muddy, so he is conscious of touching things, not wanting to get anything dirty, but for now the floor will have to suffer a little. ]

Is he playing hide and seek? Wow, either he is not pleased with this or his enthusiasm increases tenfold when hiding in obscure, shadow-y parts of the castle. Er, I'm just fine... why are you hiding?

LMFAO PERFECT

[bloodaholic]

Er, I was just going to go outside and then, um, then I thought Alexander was out there. So, I - I hid.

[he nestles back down in to his hiding spot with his arms wrapped around his knees as he pulls them up to his chest. His gaze is always moving and roves up and down the hallways as he keeps a constant look-out for any sign of Alex]

Who's 'he'?

[stillnotouchie]

Oh. He is out there, actually, I was just speaking to him. [ WITH STRANGE AND BEMUSING RESULTS. Rob plops down on the floor near to Julian, casting a suspicious glance around him and Julian before glancing back at his friend. ] He? I didn't say he- not until just now, anyway. I wonder why he's hiding. Alex seems nice, if not a little... peculiar, I suppose. Anyway, he's too distracted now. No talking will be happening tonight. Which is a good thing. I think. Why are you hiding from him?

[bloodaholic]

[Julian buries his head in his hands with a theatrical groan, whispering fiercely:] Ohhhh, bother. [yes, 'bother'] I knew it! I knew he was around here somewhere!

[he's so wrapped up in his own worries that Julian doesn't really register Rob's question, let alone that Rob seems to be talking all manner of nonsense]

Was he leaving? Or, um, coming back? Did - did he say anything about me?
