[He starts cutting up another apple.]

Relax. Hmph. Only because you are so insistent on it.

But yes. This is more lively even then the evenings usually go.

[But he doesn't think it's bad. Five's company is a nice addition.]

My evenings don't exactly get any more exciting than this either — I'm usually just driving or writing down the studies I saw in Noah's memories.

... I suppose company's nice.

You are more than welcome to join us anytime you please. Keeping the matters of needing to stay in your dorm to avoid illness in mind, of course.

[Tapping Lahabrea with his boot to invite him to come sit with the two of them.]

You must admit you feel better, do you not, my old friend?

I am surrounded by beings with more brains than sense and relegated to story-teller and chair.

[He laments, dramatically, lifting both arms in his favorite bigarms emote you know the one.]

Why would I feel better when my company is brats.

[And he gets up and sits at Emet-Selch's side so now Emet is surrounded by both him and Five.]

[ HE IS BEING DOUBLE TEAMED, TAKE THAT EMET. But he laughs at the exchange, genuinely amused ]

I'll think about it, though I wouldn't want to leave Vergil with no other Taisho around for too long, and I don't mind staying on my own so long as I'm aware there are other people around.

Besides. I've yet to see if you are terrible company while you sleep - though I suppose this is a mystery I'll solve today.

[Maybe he secretly like it?! Casually throws an arm around Five's shoulders and the other around Lahabrea's waist.]

Don't blame us for your versatility, Speaker. Besides, I thought you enjoyed your acts of pretending to be something else.

Vergil can join. He'd simply shove his nose in books with the lot of you.

[Though he does give Five a raised eyebrow.]

Afraid the snoring will keep you from your beauty rest?

No one invited your opinion, Emet-Selch.

[Translation: don't call him out. He does tug Emet to lean against him, it's fine, Five can lean on Emet.]

It seems I'll have to buy you a bigger room sooner than I anticipated. Any requests?

Edited 2020-06-13 15:04 (UTC)

[ He can and DOES lean on him, and since he's way more at ease now, there's no awkwardness to it, just him genuinely enjoying the closeness and comfort it brings.

He'd already enjoyed the nights out with Emet, but well, turns out just spending time in his room, in his company as well as Lahabrea's, is just as nice. Who would have thought. ]

Maybe. Though I suppose with a sleeping potion that's not going to matter. And if not, well, I'd have material to study as well. And by the way, for what it's worth I agree with him — you're the one to blame for your versatility.

[ of course he's gonna side with Emet ]

If you're going through the trouble of upgrading the room for allow for visitors, then I should pitch in as well. To be honest, I have more points than I know what to do with and that only makes it more likely I'll purchase more memories than I should.

[He does lean on Lahabrea and has Five so now he's even more content and smug. What are you two doing to his ego?]

I thought you were considering a library. Just don't make it a dank cave. A section with floor to ceiling windows would be nice. A couch to lie upon. Perhaps a fireplace. Left to your own devices you'd make it purely utilitarian.

Though you won't let me go with simply that answer. I know you. Surprise me.

[Who would have thought, Five, that simply relaxing with your buddies was so comfortable. He does raise an eyebrow at him though.]

Oh, absolutely not. You are going to keep those points and learn self restraint.

Don't encourage him.

[Lahabrea complains, encouraging Emet-Selch.]

Very well. And I have no need of help, I'm quite good at making points, and have no memories to tax them. I've plenty for a library and an upgrade to this room and more besides.

Well, fine, I'll buy 100 knives instead. At least I'd put them to some use.

And what, praytell, will you use these 100 knives on?

I confess I'm also curious.

A lot of sandwiches?

[ he sighs and just waves a hand ]

I'm joking, obviously. I might just upgrade the car I got or simply save them for emergencies. Having extra did allow me to assist our newests, so. It's not a bad idea to keep more.

I was afraid for a moment you were taking a little too much after our dear Kohime.

[He does ponder and taps his chin.]

Actually, if you do have extra perhaps give them to Vergil for his own memories. I believe he cherishes knowing as much as you. Lahabrea and I have the luxury of not needing to purchase them.

Well, that and saving a bit for scar removal. Not that I don't have my allies on sensitIV, but that's a power truly too great.

[He snorts and runs his fingers through Emet-Selch's hair.]

Or you could get a dog. Or was it a cat?

He wouldn't accept them - I already had to struggle to word my previous assistance in a way that wouldn't hurt his pride, and he did give me those points back.

And it was a cat. But I don't need one, I already have him.

[ looking at Emet as he says that ]

And Wildfire, for a dog.

What is this? I've been degraded from co-parent to cat. And now our child a dog. Is this a roundabout declaration of divorce?

[Look he doesn't purr, but he does like hair petting.]

How stubborn. He fits right in.

If mythical creatures were allowed, we could get Lahabrea a winged horse. I imagine he would enjoy that.

Hahahaha!

[He laughs as Emet-Selch is dubbed cat, patting his head as if he might have ears before going back to petting his hair.]

You aren't wrong. He is rather feline.

And I would like a pegasus, thank you.

[ there's a smile at lahabrea's reaction to that and okay, he knows he's losing this competition because so far all he's done is stand right next to Emet but for HIS standards? That's like, the highest amount of affection ]

Don't worry, I'm not filing for divorce yet. Consider me calling you my cat proof of my affection towards you.

That said. You could ask Future is Now to gadgeteer you one, you know.

A pity. I would have given you the dog in the divorce.

[He sighs. Of course he does.]

And here I was already fantasizing about getting out of learning to play that game of his. Dashed my hopes already. But I suppose in this lifetime I can try to be a decent parent.

[And he just gives 'resting bitch face' at Lahabrea for the pat. They correctly equated him to a cat after all.]

Better than my suggestion. I was simply going to glue wings upon one of the horses at the stable.

[It's okay Five he wasn't keeping score. It was never a competition to him just an excuse to bully Emet.]

Neither of those suggestions sounds reasonable, frankly. You both are banned from horses.

Terrible. How can I possibly survive that.

Well, I think I've decided our next outing just to prove Lahabrea wrong. What do you think, Five?

[Patting his shoulder.]

Oh yes, do prove me wrong.

[Terrible. Horse riding. Don't do THAT to him. How will he ever endure doing something he likes. And already does daily.]
