[evenly, but he doesn't sound like this is a terrible request. he's just looking at Eiden, waiting for his answer like this is very important to him to know.]
there's another beat as he looks straight at Eiden, like he's waiting for something else, then]
...Then I accept.
[he pulls the coat off, revealing his very standard/unfortunate ikea pinterest ensemble underneath. it should be a crime to say that rang makes it work but ig he does.]
eiden just takes the coat without missing a beat, and i'm not going thru every detail. you can use salt and water as a paste to help when you don't have like proper soap, and we'll just do it this in the ikea bathroom so rang doesn't have to awkwardly stand outside of hot mess.
eiden is just here with his sleeves rolled up working on this dumb jacket. ]
Could really use a laundromat if things are gonna keep going in this direction.
[ also people will smell is what his nose wrinkling say. ]
[Rang deserves to stand awkwardly outside of hot mess, tbh. Instead, he leans against the doorway of the ikea bathroom, watching Eiden hard at work on his OWN COAT that he BLOODIED HIMSELF,
truly, he is so fortunate.]
You could just buy new clothes. Or if you're too poor, ask others to buy it for you.
That's one way to make a living, I guess? Hypnotizing people?
[ pfft and scrubs a bit more, rising with a little smile because sometimes, when he's tired from capitalism and needs a win, he pretends he's a competitive stain remover. ]
[ it's true for a lot of animals. humans chasing them from their homes. he stops scrubbing for a minute, his expression a little unreadable before he goes back to it. ]
he's like back to scrubbing so he once again pauses mid-scrub when it happens and he goes very still while his ears immediately turn pink and he goes still. again. ]
Y-yeah? [ clears his throat a little. ] Think you're a little off-species biting me...
[ his hands are wet he is trapped he would be petting his head right now or grabbing it so maybe that's for the best. ]
[hm from this angle he can see the nape of Eiden's neck very clearly, how very delicate. it's the kind of skin Rang likes digging his nails into, this is a very sane thought to have.
He might not have said any of that out loud, but like he is in front of mirror, Eiden can probably see where he's looking,]
It's true that humans can't really compare when it comes to taste.
[but, he puts both hands on the edge of the counter on either side of Eiden, bracketing him in,]
[ yes it's definitely a very sane thought to have. eiden also has very normal thoughts. his pupils.......... dilate as he looks in the mirror, seeing precisely where rang's gaze is lingering. he's stupid, he's just really, really, really stupid. the other head really wants to think "wow this guy's a total freak! he's hot!" while the actual head that should be doing the thinking is like "wow this guy's a total freak! period!"
he stops scrubbing. the silence is painfully loud and he digs his heels in a little more. when he's bracketed in, he presses a little closer to the sink (he can't, but he's trying.) finally: ]

[ deadass. the only thing he says as his pulse jumps in his throat. ]

You live around humans back home...?
no subject
Humans are the ones who chased me from my home.
[a beat, then he smiles at Eiden's reflection in the bathroom mirror,]
So where else would I go? Also, I like the convenience of their society. Like their 24/7 food delivery.
