I did not! I simply told him the mask makes him seem wise and mysterious, and he seemed pleased about it.

[He gives Alexander a curious look.]

Who is Eichi? I do not believe I've met him.

[firstworldproblem]

He is wise. You'll never meet a man who knows more on just about every subject and not bashful to let you know it.

[He taps his chin.]

The leader of BARiTONES. Though considering how unruly of a bunch he is more a shepard of sheep. I have seen him grow considerably since I arrived and I am rather proud of him.

And how are you adjusting?

[weenwoon]

I hope I can meet Eichi too, then! I would say I am doing well enough... although my sleep has been a little troubled, though that is likely no surprise. I try to occupy myself with what I can to avoid dwelling on certain things too much.

[firstworldproblem]

What is this about your sleep?

[weenwoon]

[He smiles, as though the matter is of no real consequence.]

The crueller nature of the games left an impression on me, and it is not a very good one. I've been having nightmares.

[firstworldproblem]

You wouldn't be the first. Fortunate for you there is a solution for that.

BARiTONES has the power to influence dreams. Now it must be done each night, but I have at least one other on the schedule on whom I visit. I would not mind adding you to the list. Usually I leave a pleasant, starry night and then leave you to your rest.

It isn't perfect. Nightmares still slip through if the timing is incorrect and sometimes even after the change.

But I can spare you the bulk of it, if you would like.

[weenwoon]

[A starry night... Almost instinctively, Levity looks up, as though expecting to see the sky. His smile grows a little warmer.]

...That would be wonderful. How can I pay you back?

[firstworldproblem]

I would not need payment back.

[He shakes his head though.]

But that is not an answer you will be satisfied with. Cosmo has a Pegasus. One I requested built by Intensity. Being mechanical in nature it will need adjustments and tuning as time goes on. Enhancements even. Perhaps you could help with that.

[weenwoon]

[Levity brightens up at the idea of being useful, indeed.]

Ah, I would be glad to. I promised Lily I would help her with her motorcycle, too.

[firstworldproblem]

A deal then.

[He holds out a hand asking for one of Levity's own.]

[weenwoon]

[He smiles, taking Alexander's hand... and then there's a flash of familiar mischief in his eye before he quickly brings the man's hand up, dipping down to press a quick kiss to the back of it.]

[firstworldproblem]

[He shakes his head.]

Dramatic.

[weenwoon]

Were you not the one who told me you BARiTONES have a penchant for drama?

[firstworldproblem]

I will admit much would be easier if you were on BARiTONES. Future is now is known for their curiosity rather than dramatics.

[weenwoon]

[He chuckles.]

Ah, Lily said much the same... But there is no rule that would prohibit me from displaying traits fitting both units, is there? And there is much I am curious about.

[firstworldproblem]

Enlighten me.

What have you learned?

[weenwoon]

[He gives Alexander a slow, careful look. What should he say? How much should he reveal? He doesn't yet know whether Alexander is aware of the little crumbs of information about his past he'd gleaned from Five and the others. A part of him wants to bring it up, to tax Alexander with it... along with the question of why exactly he and Cosmo are so reluctant to admit their connection to him. Of course, he received several answers as to why this might be so, but that's not the same as hearing it from the man himself.

In the end, he decides to leave it alone. Besides... some deeper part of him whispers that it could be more fun to catch Alexander with it unawares.

He grins, raising a finger.]

Why, a number of things! Five dislikes being touched, I rather enjoy absinthe, my unit played a part in restoring the city in the past, sensitIV are the healing unit! I met a few of them today. I must needs confess, a part of me wishes I could have been one of them, too. I've a feeling I would enjoy being able to help people directly like that.

[firstworldproblem]

'Tis no surprise. I doubt there were be few would not want a chance to ease their own ailments as well as others.

[He tilts his head.]

And whom on sensitIV have you met?

[weenwoon]

[Levity shakes his head.]

Healing myself would be useful, yes, but I would not make that my priority.

[At the chance to talk about his new friends, though, he beams.]

I've met Izanagi, Leviathan and Thancred!

1/2

[firstworldproblem]

[Delightful.]

[firstworldproblem]

I am closest to Persephone on the unit, but I have nothing but high regards for Izanagi. I am not sure I've met Leviathan.

[Surely, so surely skipping right over Thancred.]

sry emet you cant escape

[weenwoon]

Izanagi is a wonderful young man, is he not? Though... it saddens me to see someone so young in this place. I quite took to Leviathan, too--he is very polite and gentle. I think you would like him, too... Although I have not met Persephone.

[He claps his hands together, happily.]

Oh! Thancred said we are likely from the same world, but I haven't been able to ask him about it much yet. It is rather exciting to learn about where I come from!

1/2 (are you really sorry?)

[firstworldproblem]

He is from the same star as Yvette. And while their history is complicated they seem close.

[Folding his arms and putting on his best bluff face as he pulls out his phone to check something.]

Thancred isn't the only one from---

[firstworldproblem]

It appears Noah has departed. How curious. I bet Thancred is not thrilled with that.
