...well. Actually, wouldn't an apology just be easier than more lies and secrets that you have to uphold when you weren't involved in the first place? [Just. Gently. A thought. Though his arm shifts to kind of prop Senri up and keep him against his side so okay.]
They're all fairly arrogant if it's the gods I'm thinking of, so an apology may go quite a ways rather than avoiding it forever.
That's what I think too.... but those people are sooooo stubborn. I told them to apologize, and just try to play nice, but...
[ughhhhh.
he presses his face against Beauty's shoulder because he can? this really is just two idiots cuddling on the ground while a dog is draped over them and it's the worst thing ever.]
... is this you trying to tell me I shouldn't try so hard to solve other people's problems? Or maybe I should try to be more convincing...
[A hand reaches up to pet his hair? While also petting the dog with his free hand.]
Yes. [Just as gently.] The former, that is. I understand why you want to, but given what happened last time I'd like you to be just a little selfish for just this once. If it truly becomes a problem...we'll discuss it then. But give them time to sort it out for themselves.
[this is fine. senri will vaguely lean into the touch - it's hard to say if he relaxes that much, given that he's still cold. but at the very least some tension leaves his shoulders, so he's at least not as stressed
though when he asks his next question, it's in a softer voice - something a little less sure]
... you don't think I'm too selfish already?
[doesn't he already ask for so much, from so many people]
I don't think so. [This is bad because he very obviously doesn't think so, but we've already established he doesn't quite have the same scale as other people.] Your heart is in the right place, and I think that alone is enough. Don't you?
[this is very bad because senri will take beauty's word so easily, because he thinks that beauty is sensible and a wonderful person who cares about him very much.
senri smiles at that, and beauty can probably feel it against his shoulder]
... I think so. I'd like to hope so.
But I'll... try to do what you're saying, and try not to meddle so much. I don't want to make you too worried about me.
Should your heart be burdened still at the end of the week, come to me. We'll fix it together as best as we can. [Beauty is wonderful and cares very much, but Beauty's not always the most sensible. Beauty leads with his emotions and biases sometimes, but lately he's tried to be logical, too.
It's why he's not immediately saying "sure, I'll fix it for you right now." But it doesn't mean he cares any less.]
I'll worry about you and Mizuki-san until this game is over, I'm afraid. I hope you understand. [Caring about people has always been a double-edged sword, but he's fine with that, too.]
[.... he hums a little note that implies that he understands perfectly fine, and might actually enjoy it a little bit? wow do i hate senri.]
Mm, I guess I'll get over it...
[but he winks, clearly teasing. he loves the attention and it's bad, actually. but he settles for smiling and petting Antoinette]
.... if you'll offer me your help, I'd like that. But I'll try to behave for now then.
I'm already happy that you're not mad that I saw your room... It was suuuuper luxurious. I'm really jealous! The bed looked so soft - but Ray-kun was the only one who went over there.
An-chan was right there!! And she wouldn't let me up for a little bit.
[and he leans down to kiss antoinette's head again, because he loves this puppy so much]
I looked around a little bit too but.... well, it didn't feel right, either. Not when I can just ask you what you think about things. Rabbits have good ears, but I don't like snooping through people's personal belongings...
[he won't admit that it's also
a small reminder of a bunch of personal memories and things that he doesn't have, so he doesn't like making people compromise those things that he cherishes so much]
She's very excitable with guests. [Tailwag from An-chan and Beauty scratches the dog's back. On the other hand, that's an interesting enough response.]
I suppose I see reason in that. I haven't visited many of the others' rooms either, though I don't mind so much. My belongings aren't of interest to most people, I think. [He can't deny that he has very rich taste though.
Hehe, that's okay, I was very excited to see her too.
[and he'll just keep scratching antoinette behind her ear.]
I was interested.... but I just wanted to ask you instead. Can you tell me a little bit about what was in there? So many books, those portraits of people... Your friends from back home, I'm guessing?
I still feel like there's a lot I don't know about you all.
senri sits up too???? what the fuck?? but like in the best way possible??]
Tamaki?
[and he smiles automatically with it]
What else can you tell me, Tamaki? [and he lifts a hand up to the mask, as if reaching for it, though he stops short of actually touching it as if that's too close] Do you think I finally get to see the beautiful face you boast about so much?
I'm...not sure. [SORRY HE IS STILL BUSY BEING SURPRISED.
On the other hand, his hands let go of Senri and of Antoinette and for a moment they hover near their mask. It's hesitation, but fingers pry against the edges gently, pulling at the mask itself.]
[The headwraps of the cloak come off first, falling onto his shoulders and revealing blonde hair, well-kept and obviously cared for. The mask itself easily comes away from his face and into his hands, blue eyes blinking in surprise because what??
There's a few moments he's sort of just. Staring at the mask in his hands before he looks up at Senri curiously.]
[it's going to hit him a second that this beautiful, gorgeous ikemen is the person that he definitely ugly cried in front of but that's later! not now!
right now he's just as delighted to have one of his favorite people in the temple unmasked - he might jostle antoinette a little bit with how eagerly he throws his arms around tamaki's neck for a hug, laughing as he does]
[There's a laugh and he's easily catching Senri anyway. Hugs are nice, Beauty likes those, and he holds on for a moment because this means, perhaps, he'll be able to demask with others. His priorities were two people, and the first one was here. It's a thought for later and his grips a little tight but solid.]
You've worked hard, Little Rabbit. Consider this a reward, though do feel free to shield your eyes should it be too much.
[it's okay if tamaki's grip is a little tight - senri doesn't mind. he's plenty happy to settle in tamaki's arms, even though he. fucking laughs at the comment??
and he pulls back just enough that he can face tamaki directly and doesn't even miss a beat - ]
I actually think your face is one that I've wanted to see for a while, so I hope you don't mind if I enjoy my reward.
