There are few people I respect as much as Five Hargreeves. Thus I highly value his opinion and sense of judgement. Would I thought you were detrimental to him, I would have voiced my opinion. And by detrimental I do mean have the capacity to harm his ability to trust or love others. I hardly even care if you are a bad influence which you are not.
But you have proven to be none of these things. In fact, I highly encourage you to grow closer. You coming here is simply another proof that I am right in this sentiment.
Jealousy will always be our problem. Your competitiveness and my own past experiences ever making me both wary and overprotective.
And we do not have to be perfect. At times we both will falter and grow angry at each other, ugly sides brought to bear. But it is how we will handle these that will strengthen not only our bond with him, but with each other.
[ childe jumps off emet's shoulder and nestles in the sand alongside him. ] I know... and that's something I'm trying to be mindful of. I do care about Five sensei and his happiness and well being and that directly involves you, given your relationship. [ flicks his tail back and forth. ] ...well given our experiences together thus far I doubt we'll have much of a problem making up after a fight should things ever escalate that much.
Even more than he and I, his family is paramount. He may have to make a difficult decision some day, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love the rest of us any less.
[He scratches behind his ears.]
Besides you also have what you love that you wish to strive for. And you do bring him joy. I would not deprive of him of that. And I would daresay you both need more friends, hm?
[ bristles. ] I don't need more friends! and I have plenty already. [ probably. ] I have a small group of people I like and that's all I need. More friends just cause more problems anyway and I'm perfectly content where I'm currently at.
I won't argue that a wide group of friends cause more problems, but as long as you are content. I am rather used to those who don't have as much self esteem as you do. It is a rather refreshing change.
I know I'm refreshing. [ changes back, so he's lounging against emet. ] But in addition to just seeing how you felt about things I did want to talk about your attempts to turn the tables on me. [ reaches up to flick his forehead. ] Of course sensei had to tell you about my tattoo.
I have had a thousand thousand partners. While the physical act of intimacy is not new to me, your reactions are. And thus I try to push and prod just beyond your limits. Five's as well. A delicate balance.
Do you enjoy your tattoo being lavished during such acts of intimacy. If I had to wager a guess, it would be a corruption.
...and I hope you know I intend to do the same. [ he flushes a bit at the question. ] I wouldn't mind it and, ah, yeah, it's one of a few corruptions I have. [ he rolls up his sleeves to show off the other tattoo he's got; a swirl of blue hydro that seems to shimmer. ]
I don't have boundaries. [ ... ] Ok, maybe that's a lie. I don't want just anybody touching it, but I... wouldn't mind if you did. [ his cheeks color a bit darker. ] It doesn't do anything. I just a couple of extra tattoos. [ shrugs. ] But it's the one on my stomach is the only one that seems to be hyper sensitive.
[ snickers. ] Oh? Do your worst then. [ he lets him kiss it, since he doesn't have to worry about how it's going to affect him. ] No, it's definitely not the worst, and certainly the lesser of two evils when compared to the others I have. I change into that creature I showed you from my home if my mask breaks and... [ should he tell him he goes into heat? hm. perhaps... not yet. ]
Oh, I will in time. But I wouldn't want to ruin a nice talk about getting comfortable with each other with such actions.
[Ah, yes, probably best to save that one for later.]
And I have no qualms about subduing you if you should. Even if I die in the process, I would not be bothered, temporary as it is here. Just as I have lived a thousand thousand of your lifetimes, I have also died an equal amount. Such a temporary thing has little effect on me.
But that is a worst case. We will simply avoid it where we can, and deal with it when we must. I am not overly concerned with it.
Ruin... hah. But suit yourself. [ all that talk of breeding might be enough to clue him in besides. or maybe he just thinks it's a wild city thing. ]
I'd rather not kill you. [ though it's not like he's going to have much of a choice in the matter. ] I can't imagine Five would be thrilled if that were to happen... but Baritones abilities may be pretty useful if/when the time comes.
[He just think that's a Five and Childe kink thing honestly. Good for them!]
He would not be, but I would not take the death particularly hard so I wouldn't want you to either.
[He simply waves at the sun.]
It burns and sears and makes everything feel as if it is exceedingly heavy. A pity because I rather enjoy the warmth of them, but after a while it becomes too much to bear. 'Tis why I brought an umbrella.
Thus I didn't not miss the irony upon Five's own corruption. Together we do almost make a full vampire.
Here's to hoping it never comes to that. [ childe turns, sparing the sun a glance, since he's not interesting in searing his eyes out of his head. ] And yet you took me to the beach. [ reaches for his neck so he can lazily loop an arm around it and tug him down for a quick kiss. ] We could have stayed inside.
What would be the final piece of the vampire puzzle? [ he doesn't know jack shit about vampires. ]
At some point I'm going to ask you to sit very still and allow me to nap in your shadow. I do not hope you mind you might have been tricked just a little.
[He is surprised at the kiss but indulges it all the same. Though he clicks his tongue at the question.]
Turning others into vampires. Though there is some superstition about running water I never understood.
I suppose we did fall asleep on you. Your stamina is impressive, but does pale in the charisma of your personality.
I think you're going to be sorely disappointed. I'm not the best at sitting still... [ not entirely true. he can do so when ice fishing, but that's his happy place. ] I don't want to die of boredom, though I suppose I would have a pretty face to look at the entire time. [ swipes a few fingers across emet's lips. ]
Running... water... [ now he's curious so he'll probably look that up later. ]
You're complimenting me a lot today. Do you want something? [ chuckles. ] I did also come here intending to ask how you think we might bully sensei some more.
I'm complementing you because I enjoy your company. I also imagine you don't get that very often. Not that you are devoid of it, but I would wager you don't have it in abundance.
[He nips at his fingers. It seems to be their thing.]
Ah, yes. We could dress him up a little. Laces and silks running against his bare skin. Ever does he like to be desired. He's curious because he likes both control and it being taken away. Also I daresay you've been more adventurous with him than I have.
[ snorts. ] Look at you reading me like a book. [ childe sits up and sets his other hand to emet's shoulder, shoving him back straight into the sand. grins down at him, pressing his fingers against his lips more firmly, because he does like the nips. ]
Hm~ I don't think I'll be able to get anything suitable from Wild City. Baritones might lend itself to something fancy. [ childe laughs at that. ] So I've come to realize. [ quirks his head. ] I think I'm just adventurous by nature, but what makes you say that~ Has he told you anything in particular?
It is one of my specialties. Has Five not told you?
[He does take a finger into his mouth and begins to suck on it.]
He has been taking more aging potions of late, and I can guess their primary function. You aren't exactly shy about it either. You are actively courting me right now, for instance.
He has not. I get to hear about how much he loves you often enough though.
[ smirks, swiping it across his tongue as it's sucked on. ]
I know. He told me it hurts to have to change back, so I've been trying to behave, but it's hard. [ laughs. ] What's there to be shy about? [ many things! ] I know what I want. [ his smirk broadens. ] Like I said, I don't want there to be any animosity between us.
That's rather sweet. Honestly, I thought he'd be a little more shy about it.
[He takes in another being a bit suggestive as he does.]
It does, but it seems to be have been bothering him less as of late. I imagine that is no small part to your intervention. Hence the comment about your adventurous nature.
[A laugh.]
Yes, but we need not be intimate to stay on good graces. Perhaps I simply want you to flatter me.
I would rather you destroyed him. I have no doubts you've noticed he enjoys control being taken away from him in very specific circumstances. Namely with those he trusts.
[He does pull back and kiss the tip of his fingers.]
Of course I would. Who doesn't enjoy being flattered?
[And he can't help being a little smug.]
Now why does it have appeal Caeli of Wild City? Do you enjoy having dominance over others, or me specifically?

Re: day 398, laterrr.
Alright. But do let me know what boundaries you have with it. I want it to be a little past uncomfortable but in an enjoyable way.
[He tilts back his sunglasses so he can get a better look.]
And what does that do?
Re: day 398, laterrr.
Re: day 398, laterrr.
[He takes his arm if he is allowed and kisses the tattoo.]
Not the best, but not the worst corruptions I've seen by far. At least there seems to be some benefits from them.

Ah, so you'd like me to kiss your ass. And I know that, but I'll admit seeing you come apart had some appeal.
