impulses? irdk.

[ex_romanticize548]

I really do wish you would find something to do with me. Waiting is the dullest thing.

[terran]

Pouting does not look good on you.

[ex_romanticize548]

What sort of expression do you suppose would look good on me, then?

[terran]

A smile would fit much better.

[ex_romanticize548]

I wonder.

Well, perhaps it's true. I do it most of the time—smiling. A whole lot of it, really.

[terran]

Good. And if you're looking for an intriguing place to go, I may have a suggestion.

[ex_romanticize548]

Oh? Have you?

[terran]

Yes. It's a little place called mangakas. So far it has been quite amusing to say the least.

[ex_romanticize548]

'Amusing'? How so?

[xthearaneae]

It seems we've both a measure of waiting before us, your highness.

[ex_romanticize548]

You're awfully good at it, though.

[xthearaneae]

One requires patience with these fickle writers, I find.

[ He may just have the slightest hint of irritation that's so easily brushed away after a moment because really. He doesn't appreciate being put on the backburner for so long. ]

[ex_romanticize548]

[ he had been more referring to four or so years of biding, idling, and plotting, but—since they're on the subject: ]

Orr, maybe it's that you're too difficult. Can't help yourself, can you?

[xthearaneae]

I can't help what I am, your highness. Difficulty is all a matter of perspective.

[ex_romanticize548]

You hardly think yourself easy-going.

[ skeptical suggestion. ]

[lucitan]

Don't you know that good things come to those who wait?

[Okay, not helping. But hey.]

[ex_romanticize548]

Or, awful things.

[lucitan]

At least it's something, no?

[Arching an eyebrow here.] Though in this case only one of two things can really happen. Either you get your wish... Or you remain bored.

[ex_romanticize548]

Don't think I'll settle for that.

What about you, then?

[lucitan]

'Course you wouldn't. You humans always strive for something better...

[It is a rather basic human trait.]

Me? [He chuckles, not expecting the question.] I'm quite pleased where I am.

[ex_romanticize548]

[ striving is a little new for him! a few years ago, he was a bit more mechanical about things that could happen to him. ]

What's it like? Where you are?

[lucitan]

Inexplainable at the moment, as I don't have a permanent home. But then, I'm a bit of a wanderer by heart...

[Kind of. Sort of. On God's orders and outside the headspace anyway.]

a little birdy told me to drop by :)

[wishedforit]

Jim! Jim! It's really you!

oh, goodness. hello!

[ex_romanticize548]

[ aaaa. luca, you're so little and breathing and perfectly perfect. and, alois' shoulders are very tight right now, and his voice is maybe too soft in the effort to make it not tremble too much.

'Jim' isn't any more, though. he isn't anything at all. ]

It's me: your brother. [ at least that much. ] Hello, Luca.

sorry for the enabling Luca is about to try

[wishedforit]

Uwa! I'm so glad! I thought I would never see you again!

[Oblivious to those feelings his brother is experiencing. He's just happy he can see him again.]

Hey Jim, can you come to the place I'm at? We can live like princes! I have a really big room I can share with you and we can eat all the food we want!

never ever be sorry for it!!

[ex_romanticize548]

[ it's like a bee-sting, that name, but for luca's sake alone he won't fuss too much. ]

Have you got all of that there? [ while laughing a little. ] Sounds absolutely splendid. No one's been hurting you, have they?
