[ eiden is peeking into where fei du is listening to that particular song from before. he can't help but be a little nosy. topper peers up from his jacket and he kind of knocks on the wall even if the ikea's sort of a free-for-all. ]
the song continues for a moment as fei du snaps out of whatever he was doing with the knock, glancing over at the young man who interrupts - he gives him just a brief once over, and then offers a crooked smile. ]
I thought something uplifting might be good, considering the circumstances.
[ topper pokes his head up out of his hiding spot briefly to examine fei du before disappearing back down again, creating a lump in the blue jacket eiden's wearing. ]
Huh. Interesting.
[ it's kinda weird. he slips in and flops down onto a seat, stretching his legs out briefly as he scrolls through his phone. ]
If I had to guess, we're in something of a holding pattern. If this game thing holds, our first task is to form a team, no? So we're likely not allowed to go further until a team is made.
[ well, wherever fei du is enjoying the park, eiden is not too far, scribbing on a long strip of receipt paper with an empty mcdonald's coffee cup next to him. he seems? to be looking up on occasion and squinting before looking back down again and drawing a little more? meanwhile, topper is rubbing himself in all the grass and clover because it's Nature and he's a stoat.
[ he's here. he's vibing! thriving. he's playing patapon, actually, tapping away at his psp. when eiden addresses him, though, he pauses, and glances at the receipt, then at eiden's hand.
and then smiles, beatific. innocent. an angel. ] Are you asking for a kiss, Eiden? [ don't ]
man this guy can sure make himself look so angelic and not wholly sucked into patapon within seconds. that's impressive. he nods and scratches away at his receipt paper with the tiny ikea pencilβ ]
You'd have to come get it yourself~βͺ
[ eiden sing songs without a single braincell as he continues to sketch away. topper meanwhile is crawling back over to where eiden is and curling around his neck to peek with a little squeak. ]
[ it's a relaxed and easy question, as he flicks absently at the control sticks on his game. ]
Fair enough. Though, I'll charge a fee next time, for a pose. [ no he will not this is obviously a joke, and it comes with a wink the next time eiden looks up. ]
[ when he looks up just in time to receive that wink, he pauses, tapping the end of his pencil against his lower lip before continuing to stroke a few lines down on the paper. ]
