GODLY AUDIENCES: SENRI

[divus]

Comments

[divus]

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?

[usogi]

[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.

['even though i like when you worry about me']

[divus]

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.]

[usogi]

[.... 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.

[divus]

I'm not mad. You did ask and you found it on your own. [He's about to say something very wise and maybe even very charismatic, but:]

--if Ray-kun was examining my room what were you doing instead? [Senri???]

[usogi]

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]

[divus]

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.

[usogi]

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.

[divus]

[There sure was a lot. Beauty sits back a little, Antoinette sprawled over his lap still and regards Senri carefully.]

One thing at a time. What is it you'd like to know right?

[usogi]

[senri hums thoughtfully.]

... do I get to know your name yet?

[divus]

...Tamaki. [Oh. Oh wait that worked? Excuse him while Beauty--Tamaki sits up in vague alarm?]

[usogi]

[wh

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?

1/3

[divus]

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.]

2/3

[divus]

[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.]

[divus]

[And he smiles brightly at first, face scrunching up in delight.]

...it's a pleasure to meet you, Senri-kun.

[1/2]

[usogi]

[senri, internally: yup. i'm definitely pretty fucking gay.]

[usogi]

[senri, externally:]

Tamaki!!

[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]

The pleasure is all mine, you know?

[divus]

[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.

[Shut up.]

how dare you use that icon

[usogi]

[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.

[stop]

:*

[divus]

It's yours for the taking. As I've said, you've earned it. [There's a smile then.] A name fitting of a face though, isn't it?

[Tell him he's pretty, Senri, he's been stuck under a mask for way too long.]

[usogi]

[he hums like he has to think about it]

I dunno, I've heard that Cheri is preeeetty gorgeous. I might have to go see him first and then get back to you.

[divus]

Are you serious!? [Senri!!! BE NICE!!] I'm way prettier than he is!

[usogi]

[SDLKJSDLKFJLK

senri's cracking up at that, because of course he is.]

Ahahaha, wanna hear something that I told Justice the other day? It's feeling pretty relevant.

[divus]

[Just like that, he deflates and he patiently waits.] Like what?

[usogi]

Liiiiiiike....

[and he peers in, as if he's examining tamaki's face]

No matter what you look like on the outside, as long as your heart shines, kind and sweet, then that's where real beauty comes from.

And... hmmm, I can't say that it shines quiiiite as bright as Justice... [HE SWORE NEW ALLEGIANCE, BITCH]

But I think your heart is still one of the loveliest I've ever seen.

[so what happens when you try to dramatically flirt with a host]
