the whole world is revolving , yet it’s only something big shots with freedom can take advantage of . how can one fell a hammer of justice to allow even the common man to partake in bizarreness , even as silly as cutie mew mew magic ?

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* That's simply because — it's totally a
normal response , a kiss is a far more
intimate action to take - .ᐟ

( He was as red as a tomato . He couldn't
even look at them . So embarrassing . . .
Truly an odd prince . )
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

They seemed shocked by something, blinking a few times before making it obvious.

"FOR GETTING SO FLUSTERED FROM A KISS YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE ANSWERING WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE NAKED. YOU'RE AN ODD, ODD PRINCE, RALSEI. UEE HEE HEE!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( His pretty lashes and pink irises were
nice to look into , even if he was averting
his gaze on purpose at the moment . )

* I don't think so - .ᐣ I'm pretty fluffy and
have some soft spots , I suppose —
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

They bolted back up to floating near his face, looking into his eyes. They were pretty...

Shortly afterwards they just started to look him up and down, eye him up a bit. He was pretty...

"SO, ARE YOU AS FAT AS YOUR CUTE PLUSHIE IS WHEN NAKED? HEE HEE!~"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( He figured it was just to get a reaction
out of him . . . With how quickly they'd
moved on from it , at least . )

( Still didn't mean he wasn't confused . )

* Y - yeah , me too . . .
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

They quickly burst into laughter as they spun around in the air.

Was that kiss genuine? Or did they do it just it get a reaction out of him? It was hard to know...

"I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU BETTER, RALSEI.~ UEE HEE HEE!~"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( Being eye level now , he couldn't help
but avert his gaze . They were making him
quite flustered with their actions . )

* I really am , you know — .ᐟ

( That smooch only made his face red . )

* E - ehhh — .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

Seeing him blush made them burst out into another giggling fit as they floated up so they were eye level to him.

"YOU'RE A BAD LIAR. THAT'S CUTE, CUTE! I'M MERELY PULLING YOUR LEG!"

They suddenly leaned forward and gave him a smooch on his nose!

"...PROBABLY.~"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( As their eyes met , Ralsei seemed a little
flustered from their silly conversation . )

* P - please , no milk . I'm . . . lactose
intolerant , yeah — .ᐟ

* ( Why are they so keen on it .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ )
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"OH YOU'RE NO FUN, FUN!"

They paused for a moment to look up at him with a big, dumb grin.

"I GUESS I CAN JUST SETTLE WITH SOAKING YOU IN MILK... I JUST HAVE TO FIND A SUITABLE AMOUNT OF THE STUFF."

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* I don't believe that's apart of a tree's life
cycle , otherwise I'd have been slammed
against trees and soaked in milk earlier —

Even though his baggy cloak and robes
were in the way , his chest was soft and
warm .
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"OH NO, NO, NO! THEY SPECIFICALLY REQUEST THE LIVING PRINCE OF THE DARK... SOPPING WET WITH MILK... TO BE THROWN INTO THEM. IT'S A NATURAL PART OF A TREE'S LIFE, OBVIOUSLY! UEE HEE HEE!"

As they spoke and continued to giggle, they softly buried their face against his chest.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( The Prince allowed the hug to go on for
as long as they wanted it to . Who was he
to turn down an embrace so nice .ᐣ )

* M - maybe they'll accept a plushie that's
soaked in milk . . . .ᐣ
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

They just held Ralsei close to them, they didn't seem to want to let go.

"OH BUT I DO! I CAN HEAR THEM... THE TREES... THEY LONG FOR A DARK PRINCE SOAKED IN MILK TO BE THROWN INTO THEM."

Still giggling like crazy from their own words.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( Considering how pleasant he knew he
was to hug , he didn't mind the leaning . )

* T - then that would be one interesting
tree calling for me , even you don't fully
believe what you just said .ᐟ
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

The warmth and softness made Jevil only further lean into the hug, their tail only swishing about behind them faster.

"NO PROMISES... WHAT IF THE TREE IS CALLING FOR YOU TO SPLAT AGAINST IT... THEN WHAT?"

They quickly burst into a giggling fit at their own sentence.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( Ralsei softly giggled , gently returning the
warm embrace . Arguably , he was softer
and warmer than the plushie . )

* Hah , I guess there's no talking you out
of soaking me in milk . Just don't throw
me at a tree — .
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"OH HOW EXCITING, EXCITING!"

They gleefully spoke before pulling him into a hug. Holding him close to themselves like they did the plushie of him.

"I AM STILL TOTALLY GOING TO SOAK YOU IN MILK THOUGH. UEE HEE HEE!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* If you want us to be , yes . At the very
least , we're allies , which is fairly close to
friends .

( As they looked at him , he responded
with a warm smile . He could feel his own
fluffy tail flutter behind him . )
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"SO... WOULD THAT MAKE US FRIENDS, FRIENDS?"

They asked with a giggle, looking up at him. Aw, their tail is wagging. Or well... swaying. Flicking side to side, seemingly out of excitement.

...ignore the fact that their tail is quite sharp.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( Huh , he doesn't remember them being
quite short . . . It's probably because they
were one formidable opponent — and due
to him being downed for a majority of it . )

* It's quite alright . We're not enemies
anymore , so —
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

They let out a little giggle, taking a few steps closer to the prince and looking up at him.

...they were quite short.

"YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL A LITTLE BAD FOR ATTACKING YOU ALL BACK AT KING'S CASTLE... BUT ONLY A LITTLE, LITTLE! UEE HEE HEE!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* That is also an option , yes . The ones I
give you could be placeholders while you
work on newer outfits .

( Aw . They were an adorable pair . )

* That won't deter me from being kind .ᐟ
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"OH? IS THAT SO? MAYBE I SHOULD PICK UP SEWING AND MAKE MY OWN OUTFITS. OH THAT WOULD BE FUN, FUN, FUN!"

They giggled, holding Ralph closer to their chest with a big smile, bigger than usual.

"YOU'RE A KIND ONE, PRINCE. THAT'S ADMIRABLE. BUT IT COULD GET YOU HURT!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( He had a feeling he knew who it was ,
once he noticed their fixation on Ralph's
right eye — though , that train of thought
was quickly derailed . )

* Right , yes — um . There's a few outfits
for it I should give you .
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"OH YES, YES! IT REMINDS ME OF AN OLD... FRIEND."

They paused once again, looking down at the plushie and softly running their finger across its right eye and letting out a small sigh under their breath.

"THOUGH THEY WEREN'T SO... NAKED! UEE HEE HEE!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
( They sure seemed fairly intrigued by the
silly little plushie . It made him wonder . )

* Haha , got it . . . Erm . I take it that you
like the plushie .ᐣ You seem to be having
some fun with it .
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"THAT'S A SECRET, SECRET! UEE HEE HEE!"

They said with a laugh as their attention shifted more towards the small, stupid looking plushie they were given. Their usual grin seemed to fade for just a second, and they pulled the plush a little closer before smiling again.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* He is . . . also technically Ralsei , but yes .

* But he is occasionally referred to by that .
ㅤ

[𝕊𝕪𝕓𝕚𝕝 @DancerInADream]

" ... but he is fat ralph. "

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* W . . . where would you even get THAT
much milk from - .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ

( He genuinely seemed concerned , given
what he knew about them . If anything ,
the most likely thing was him being
thrown against a tree somehow . )
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜���� @DXVILSKNIFE]

They're idly playing with it, specifically seeming to focus on its right eye. Occasionally tossing the plush into the air only to catch it before it hit the ground.

"AWW, YOU'RE NO FUN, FUN! I WAS GOING TO GET A BATHTUB SET UP AND EVERYTHING!"

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* That's a relief . . .

( Despite how odd and chaotic their whole
demeanor was , he did feel a little joy as
he watched them handle it tenderly . )

* Don't soak me in milk either , please —
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"WHAT, WHAT? OF COURSE NOT!"

"YOU'RE FAR TOO BIG FOR ME TO SWING INTO A TREE! UEE HEE HEE!"

They're just idly looking at the plushie and then back at him, despite their words they are being quite tender with the toy.

[݁𖥔 ݁˖ ( * 𝐅𝖺𝗂𝗍𝗁 . ) ˖ ݁𖥔 ݁ @FLUFFYGUARD_]

ㅤ
* ( Keep milk away from you , got it . . . )

* Um . Please try to treat it with care .ᐣ

* Because it's modeled after me , I'm not
sure if you're trying to imply something —
ㅤ

[𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐹𝑜𝑜𝓁 @DXVILSKNIFE]

"I'M ONLY KIDDING! I CAN'T DO THAT TO THIS LITTLE GUY..."

They paused for a moment before grinning ear to ear.

"...BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY MILK! HAH!"
