♖ Twenty-Ninth Entry § [video]

[tainted_loyalty]

[It's not as though he's never seen Cain naked before. In fact, he sees him naked every day, considering the fact that he's Cain's personal servant and helps to bathe and dress him.

But, of course, this does absolutely nothing to ease the shock of picking up his Network device and finding it showing a slideshow of unarguably provocative pictures

I suppose I could venture a guess as to what might be the matter, Riff.

[tainted_loyalty]

N-nothing at all, sir.

[ WHY WON'T THESE PICTURES TURN OFF? D8 ]

[misterblackbird]

I rather doubt that. Not the way you're acting.

[Have you seen the one with Cain in women's garters and stockings yet, Riff? :D]

[tainted_loyalty]

[You mean the one where he's wearing nothing but women's garters and stockings? Yep. That one just went by, and has burned itself into his retinas.

He should look away. He really, really should. ...but how else will he frantically press buttons trying to stop it? Looking is a necessity. Probably.]

My Network device appears to be... malfunctioning.

[misterblackbird]

[Yes, that would be the one. I suppose it's a matter of taste as to whether it's more or less impressive than the one where he's all draped in black velvet.]

It sounds as though it really must be.

[tainted_loyalty]

Just- just a moment, sir, if you would--

I'm afraid I cannot- ah, properly hold a conversation at this time.

[Probably because he's too busy turning bright red and trying to control his racing heartbeat.]

[misterblackbird]

[Although I'm partial to the one where he's flopping around in just his shirt.]

Because of your device?

It's no matter--you and I hardly need to speak through them at all.

[tainted_loyalty]

[Aww, adorable~

...wait. BRB BLUSHING MOAR.]

W-what?

[He got distracted from the conversation. Mostly because the next picture has Cain on all fours on the bed at a very naughty angle. Riff feels faintly dizzy.]

[misterblackbird]

[Oh, that one's dangerous.]

I only meant, Riff, that you and I are near enough to one another that we hardly need to use these devices. I suppose we use them only as a matter of convenience.

But your device really isn't working properly. It's like you're not receiving all of my messages, somehow.

Sob. I do not have the properly SCANDALIZED icons for this.

[tainted_loyalty]

It- it really is quite--

[and suddenly Cain's words actually catch up to him]

Wait--! My lord, you're coming here?

I can imagine them :3c

[misterblackbird]

No, I never said that. I only said that I certainly could if I should need you.

I really do think your device isn't working properly.

Haha excellent. >:3

[tainted_loyalty]

Yes, perhaps I'll just... step outside to see if I can find someone to fix it.

[What's this, Riff? Trying to run away?]

[misterblackbird]

Perhaps you should.

Don't be gone too long. If your device isn't working properly and I should need you, I'm not sure how else I'd call for you if you're out.

[tainted_loyalty]

Of course, sir.

[ Except now he feels guilty. What if Cain does need him? D: ]

[misterblackbird]

I do hope it can be fixed easily.

I hope you'll let me know when it has been.

[tainted_loyalty]

Ah- Yes... Certainly, my lord.

[Great. Now what? 8( ]
