this process by itself is, after all, somewhat underwhelming. what’s so exciting about digging out the innards of a gourd?

but that blade— that looks like fun.

with renewed interest, hernando glides up to him. )

mister subedar, may i see your sword?

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

( satisfied, hernando drops back against the nearby fence. it’s nice to watch subedar work; he’s good with his hands, scarred hands— he’s never seen them without the gloves. he has his own fair share of scars to match, a source of pride themselves. […]

[naib subedar ? ? ? @SHEIISH0CKD]

I'll be nice this once.

( he throws the guts far into the grassy fields, scattering them. A future feast for the plants and animals. Then he throws the last small bits at the matador playfully, getting some on his chest )

Oops, gotta work on my aim

( he grins )

Your turn

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

a few bits spatter on his vest. he looks down, then back up at his offender, and wipes it away with a tight smile. )

so, you do have a bit of fun in you.

( no stains— just a wet spot at his chest. the man is playful after all: just a little entertainment. […]

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

which he wipes away with his knuckles. when he speaks again, his words begin to run together. his accent bleeds through them, heavier than before. )

i’ll tell you of the corrida. it was my life, once. my heart remembers it. 𝙘𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤.

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

( he leans forward in his seat, retrieving the bottle from the nearby coffee table, and with a hum, fills his glass right back up. in reality, he doesn’t look the least bit concerned. he’ll manage. he’s escaped danger many times before. his gaze flits sideways. […]

conversation is one such method, i suppose. … though, i’ve yet to decide if you’re worth the trouble if all you can offer is mind numbing small talk …

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

help me finish this. then, you can tell me what it is you do for fun.

( he appears to need no help at all, but pushes his glass towards valden, reaching instead for the bottle himself. he brings it to his lips and drinks. the wine leaves a thin trail down his jaw, […]

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

hah! between the two of us, you’d be the first, my friend.

( a mischievous laugh. he plants a hand on richard’s shoulder. )

keep up with me, then. if you do become faster .. then i suppose i’ll finally get to enjoy the challenge of keeping up with you instead.

[ᅠᅠ 𝓼𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝖎𝐧𝐠. @forfeiint]

ah, some do get gray hair early on, from stress, for instance! there’s an ever more egregious thought; what if, one day, i become too quick for you to catch up, hm? all this training i’ll get from you, turning against you.

[𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨 ˎˊ˗ @torerorojo]

( his expression twitches, tightening a little at the edges. one hand sits at his hip, the other running sharply through his messy hair. )

i did a good job didn’t i ..? why not show it off a little?

[naib subedar ? ? ? @SHEIISH0CKD]

Can't we do anything without you making a show of it? It's like you need an audience for everything. @torerorojo
