( his head tilts, peering over at dabi from an angle. hands have found the counter to tap fingernails against it —— all save for his thumbs. ) you can feel however you want .. i'm the one in charge, remember ?

( lips part with a scoff, eyes rolling at the other's words as arms stretch out against the counter. ) i can play along if that's what you want, but i have a bad feeling about this.

⠀⠀
well .. ( lips give a small twitch, dry skin cracking as it spreads. yeah, his mind hasn't changed too much. his shoulders lift into a shrug then as the hand at his neck finally lowers. ) you seem to be standing just fine right now.

( brow arches up slowly. ) you've changed your mind since? ( as far as he's concerned, he still very much has an attitude problem. those next words make his eyes narrow, straightening up slightly. )

⠀⠀
how many of 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 look down on us. it really pisses me off .. still .. you aren't curious to see how that chapter might unfold ?

[𝖈𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ༝ 𝓬𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 @deteriorhate]

⠀⠀
i didn't really trust you much when we met .. i thought you had an attitude problem. ( scratching pauses. pointer finger instead taps against the spot of skin it's rested against. tap, tap, tap ... ) i wouldn't put that past him. you know exactly

[ঌ┆𝒍𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝓯𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖊 ⋆.˚ @BLUEFLAMEDS]

⠀
not yet. ( gaze flits over to him, eyeing itching digits. ) not ever, if i can help it. i don't trust him. he can't think we're this damn stupid.
⠀

[𝖈𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ༝ 𝓬𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 @deteriorhate]

⠀⠀
mmm ... ( his now freed up hand lifts, index and middle fingers scratching at the underside of his jaw, down his neck. ) and what do you think about that ? what did you say ?
⠀⠀

[ঌ┆𝒍𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝓯𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖊 ⋆.˚ @BLUEFLAMEDS]

⠀
makes sense. ( shuffling closer, arm resting against the counter. speaking of recruits ... ) the bird wants to meet with you. he's insistent.
⠀

⠀⠀
riiiight ... ( delicately placing the phone down once he's done. ) so like i said, i hit pause for a little while.
