Sylus usually dresses neatly, generally takes care of his appeareance and of course specially tries to look good for MC.
But imagine the first time MC sees Sylus in a more disheveled state. Not exactly because he's injured, but just because he's tired.
MC goes to the Onychinus base unannounced, because they've been apart for a while and she just felt like seeing him. Luke and Kieran had told her that Sylus was upstairs, so she enters his penthouse and looks around for him until she notices the lights of the bathroom on and the door open.
The image that greets her is not the usual Sylus with the impeccable appearance that she's used to, but instead, is a Sylus who's hair is a bit messy, the dark circles under his eyes are prominent and the most "shocking" thing: he has grown a bit of facial hair.
A soft "Oh..." scapes her mouth. She doesn't comment on his appearance, but her surprise is quite evident.
She's caught him in the middle of shaving and somehow, she feels she's witnessed a scene she wasn't meant to see. But Sylus notices her panic and extends a hand to invite her inside.
He gently pulls her towards him and lifts her up to sit on the counter. Now that she's closer, she can notice that his eyes are also a bit red, probably from the lack of sleeping. But what catches her attention more, is the couple of small cuts on his jaw.
Sylus is always focused, always alert, so she wonders what level of exhaustion he must have reached that he has made such a "little mistake" like accidentally cutting himself while shaving.
She reaches to cup his face, her thumbs gently caressing his cheeks. There's a small frown on her face and he gives him a look that is half a scolding, half of concern.
But then he looks back at her.
Over their time together, she's slowly learned to read him better, and right now she notices that under that nonchalant mask, there's a self conscious Sylus, one that wasn't expecting her to see him like this. An exhausted Sylus who's at the same time just relieved to see her again.
And then he offers her the razor.
She gives him a look of "Are you crazy? Want me to slide your throat open?", but that only makes him chuckle and he takes her hand to press the handle against her palm for her to take it.
"Make sure to aim correctly and take me down in one go, sweetie", he teases, but beneath that playful tone, lies a sincere request. He genuinely wants her to help him.
For a man like Sylus who always needs to have his guard up and doesn't let many people get too close, even if this just a small razor for shaving, it can somehow still be used as a weapon and he's completely trusting her with it.
He's lowering his guard for her, inviting her into his space. Even if he didn't expect her to see him like this today, instead of pushing her away or hiding, he's allowing her to get close, he's welcoming her with open arms into this intimate routine.
That alone means a lot to her and she cannot find herself refusing this chance.

@HAV3NHYUN3 oof my bad I forgot Xavier's 2nd stella was yellow and I looked at a wrong chart😭 the colors of the asc materials still don't make sense though. Either infold got one wrong and they'll fix it later or the image is an unreliable reference but I recall it being reliable😭
And I just KNOW that if MC was voiced, we could've avoided many of these so-called controversies because we would know the tone used in the full conversation hence understanding when the characters are just JOKING and not talking seriously.
I'm so tired about the whole IB controversy, and it only shows people can't read, but MOST IMPORTANTLY they can't COMPREHEND what they read. Go back to school atp.
I saw two spanish-speaking content creators just spread misinformation about IB. One did it out of spite, one did it out of lack of knowledge, but in the end, both are spreading misinformation that brings harm to the LADS community as a whole. I'm tired.
