[welp, when the video flickers on, you get a Fuji. and this time, even those that wouldn't know him particularly well can see that he is in a terrific mood. tired, but still very much happy. (protip: his younger brother's arrival may or may not have happened this week, though surely that has nothing to do with it

Aaaactually - [ Niou holds a glass half-filled with water, himself; as he speaks, he draws a dark blue silk scarf over it, obscuring it from view. ] - the glass is completely full.

[ He whisks the scarf away, revealing the same glass, still half-filled with water - but the water is suspended in the top half of the glass. ]

[now that gets a laugh--]

Should I even ask?

[futariniousama]

[ Innocently, as he repeats the trick, revealing a glass full to the brim with water: ]

What, ask how I did it?

[have some polite applause-- though he really does look like he's enjoying the spectacle]

Though I have a feeling that'd be wasted breath. A magician never reveals his secrets?

[ Niou raises his eyebrows, almost suggestively, as he drinks from the glass, returning it to half-full (or half-empty, if you will). With a flourish, he passes the scarf briefly over the glass, turning it upside-down, with the water still suspended inside. A single droplet falls onto the end of the scarf below. ]

Absolutely correct.

Just how much are you capable of, anyway? [genuine interest here as he studies the scarf.]

[futariniousama]

[ He rights the glass with another swish of the scarf, then offers the scarf up, suspended by two corners, for Fuji to see. It's simple, unpatterned navy silk, unmarred except for the single damp spot from the earlier droplet. A perfectly ordinary scarf, as expected. ]

I'm capable of what I know, and a little bit that I don't.

[he supposes that he should've expected as much-- though it doesn't surprise him that the first thing he thinks of is that the navy is a very flattering colour. in response, he chuckles, and reaches off-screen for a piece of paper.]

Is that so? I wonder when I'll have an chance to quote you on that.

[futariniousama]

Knowin' you, you'll find an opportunity sooner than later.

[ He lets the scarf fall over one of his hands, now a loose fist, and for the moment, he leaves it there, watching Fuji curiously. ]

You know me; I live for windows.

[setting the paper down, he reaches again for a piece of candy. unwrapping the candy carefully, he places the pink sweet onto the sheet of paper, so as to waste it.

and then, popping the wrapper cheerfully into his mouth!]

[futariniousama]

[ Niou observes this with great skepticism. ]

Did you really just... forgo the candy entirely?

[reimprovise]

[in response, he merely holds a finger up to his lips, before sticking his tongue out playfully. then, looking away from the camera!]

[futariniousama]

[ Now Niou's intrigued. He watches Fuji's jaw, what he can see of the muscles there, and waits with sharp eyes. ]

[there's definitely movement there, even as Fuji closes his eyes to concentrate, lowering his chin. the process is over in about two minutes, however -- he's had plenty of time to waste to practice on stupid things like these. reaching into his mouth, he pulls out the wrapper again.

it's wrapped, puffed, and there are two neat knots tied in where the twist-tie usually sits. he sets that down on the paper as well, next to the candy, and laughs, just a little.]

[futariniousama]

[ Niou cocks his head to examine the wrapper, already laughing, himself. ]

Who knew you were hidin' that kinda talent? [ And with a smirk and a cock of an eyebrow: ] You're gonna make someone happy with that tongue someday.

[reimprovise]

[he was already expecting the innuendo. scrutinizing Niou's reaction and finding nothing remiss with it, he pokes at the candy wrapper, before humming thoughtfully.]

You know, I heard there was a woman out there who could make it into a crane.
