[Week 17, Day 3] [Video] Laying low has its merits.

[soreloserchan]

 [It's been over a week now, Byakuran realises, that he's been living with Reborn and well.. since arriving here. He's been good, on the most part; he's only teased Chrome twice and stolen Reborn's coffee once. He's stayed out of trouble even! But Byakuran is naturally problematic - he's drawn towards making chaos out of silence and he well, he's

[Reborn heard the broadcast from his room and for a moment he almost considered ignoring it completely. The man was a fool, causing himself more trouble than anything. But of course, this was Byakuran he was dealing with and Reborn has come to understand that the other really was an overgrown child who had found a power beyond him, nothing more. Without that power, he was virtually harmless. At least to someone like Reborn

[Byakuran glances up, expression conflicted. He's sure by now, Reborn's heard everything. He silently tilts the Hitomi to mouth; 'how long have you been standing there?' at Reborn, eyebrows raised and mouth smirking.

For now, the Hitomi is quiet and tentatively Byakuran turns it off for the moment - and then covers it with a pillow, just to be safe. He leans back against his other pillows and shuts his eyes, and then opens them again, expression somewhat knowing.]

You're quite nosey, hm~?

[His voice is low as he speaks, words drawn out as usual. He shifts into a more comfortable position, watching Reborn with amusement.]

Your family is quite suspicious too~. Mmm~.

[ ...You do realize any cardshark worth his salt would zero in all the wrong lilts (well really, the lilts period - it's creepy and reminds him of how Road talks), the charm, the act.

Takes a clown and a poker face to know one - after all the best poker faces aren't the ones that reveal nothing, but display something entirely else

... Well. And he could swear he saw you lurking around Mukuro at the party. Had meant to smile, go over, and check out anyone staying near the guy introduce himself. And it's not that he thinks proximity to Mukuro is an automatically bad thing... there is Chrome,  after all. But some of the others are questionable. Reasonable concern, you see.

So he hasn't made his mind up, but you kind of ping him all over a little unpleasantly, a little jarringly, in the way that makes him have to stick his nose in a little. ]

[ Hello, Byakuran. You get the most pleasant, polite, and charming of British smiles. ]

It's nice to meet you, By...akuran, is it? I'm Allen Walker. I believe I saw you at the holiday party recently.

Although I'm a little confused---a cage?

[In return, sir, you get a toned down smile, bordering on a smirk - it's an infamous expression, Byakuran is wearing. It's not entirely unpleasant, but there's something about it - something under the surface that seems to cause unease in people. Of course, Byakuran has no idea why, he's quite friendly you see.]

Likewise, Allen~. Did you really~? It was a fun party, but I can't really remember much - I was a little bit pre-occupied.

[Pre-occupied is putting it politely.]

Mmmm, not a literal cage~. I'm under house arrest, I suppose~.

[ Ax generally has found that it's better to respond to things in human morph - it tends to save on the questions. ]

You were in a cage? Who had been holding you captive?

[Video]

[soreloserchan]

Not a literal cage~.

[Byakuran doesn't imagine he'd be quite as cheerful if he were to be locked up in a literal cage.]

An.. acquaintance, is keeping a close eye on me~.

[Video]

[bunzuh]

Ah. I see.

Why would you require supervision? (Vih. Viiiizzzzhion.) Are you in some sort of danger? [ Ax is not entirely sure he trusts you, Byakuran, but you seem friendly enough. ]

[Video]

[soreloserchan]

Danger~? I don't suppose I am~.

[He snickers, as though laughing at a private joke.]

I guess he doesn't trust me not to get into trouble~.

[Video] *Backtags LIKE A BOSS* Sorry dfkfhdhglmfao

[mistyredhead]

[Mmm, nice, you say?

Speaking like that is pretty much saying that those who say you're a jerk might have a point. Most of the time, that is the case. Or you're just a playful person.

Doesn't matter, though; Lavi will be keeping an eye on this guy no matter which it is.]

Liars, you say? Sure you're not the one lying?

[Video] LMAO it's ok.

[soreloserchan]

[Byakuran's expression doesn't falter even in the slightest. There is still a grin on his face; playful, friendly and open and he chuckles at the suggestion.

Byakuran considers himself a nice person for the most part, after all.]

Maybe I am~. It might just be a difference in perceptions though, right~?

[Video] Wooo

[mistyredhead]

I dunno, some perceptions might be a bit skew. Shouldn't rely on those, yeah~

[Video] :3

[soreloserchan]

Right, right~! People are always biased, don't you think~? You should always make your own opinions of people~.
