[WHY

once he has it firmly in his mouth, the exarch lets go and flicks his nose.

but he is, like, blushing. goddamnit.]

[awakenerd]

[Ha! He wins. Even if he has to rub his nose. He munches the cookie, leaning back.]

They're good.

[crystallinelore]

They are.

[leaning over the table to snag a bite of his cake in revenge.]

[awakenerd]

[G'raha lifts up his fork with a bite.]

You only had to ask.

[He's going to hold it up.]

[crystallinelore]

I figured fair is fair. Thank you.

[and with the ballsiness of G'raha himself he will lean in and eat off of G'raha's fork.]

[awakenerd]

[Rather than being flustered he laughs.]

Didn't think you had it in you, old man.

[He'll stab another bite of cake and eat it himself.]

[crystallinelore]

I can give as good as I get.

[primly!! trying to ignore the indirect kiss.]

[awakenerd]

[His tail curls, feeling pleased with himself. He can just tell the Exarch is a little flustered, so he licks the fork casually.]

I wonder about that.

[crystallinelore]

[the exarch has never considered himself narcissistic and this is the WORST.]

Is that so? I will not back down from a challenge.

[awakenerd]

[Truly life is unfair when your younger self is being a flirty asshole.]

Is that so~? I'll remember that.

[crystallinelore]

[Why Is He His Own Type?]

Please do.

[he is going to finish his cookies, damnit.]

[awakenerd]

[He smirks. Not even hiding that he's pleased with himself. But he'll finish his cake without tormenting the mystery man any more for now.

He feels a little better too. Not enough to trust the guy but teasing him is really fun.]

[crystallinelore]

[At least he's a flusterable person. More vulnerability, to add to the pile with how soft he is for his people.

Once they're both done and he's paid:]

Then let us be on our way to the Spagyrics.

[awakenerd]

[Whatever the Exarch's plans he's either the best actor or actually pretty soft. That's reassuring even if it's not enough for trust.]

Right right...

[He'll fall in step next to the exarch.]

[crystallinelore]

[ONWARD!! Chessamile gladly offers them one of her beds for their purpose after only menacing the Exarch a LITTLE, so that's. Nice.

He pulls a chair up to the side of the bed and seats himself.]

Please sit. You needn't lay down for this, most likely, but I thought it best not to take any risks.

[awakenerd]

[He sits on the bed, cross legged, leaning his chin on his hand, elbow on his knee.]

I didn't realize you wanted me in bed so badly.

[:3]

[crystallinelore]

Count yourself lucky I am not tying you down.

[Chessamile cackles across the room. It's probably unrelated.]

May I see your hand?

[awakenerd]

I'm not sure I should let you after that comment.

[crystallinelore]

You started it.

[he puts his crystal hand out though, palm up. come on.]

[awakenerd]

[He lifts his hand.... then gently grabs the Exarch's wrist, pulling his hand closer for G'raha to inspect instead.]

[crystallinelore]

[he sighs.]

Impatient. I was about to point out that we could make this a mutual examination, but here you are just going for it.

[awakenerd]

[He isn't even a little repentent as he spreads the Exarch's fingers and turns his pslm over, touching his crystal skin with light, thoughtful fingertips.]

You'd still be out ahead no matter how mutual you ask to make it. Unless you want to take that hood off after all?

[crystallinelore]

I most assuredly do not.

[but he's patiently letting G'raha check him out. The arm, at least, seems to be crystal the full way through. Translucent near the edges and the webbing of his fingers, even, where it's thinner. And it glows a little! Very much the crystal of the tower.]

[awakenerd]

[He holds the Exarch's hand up, looking at the light through it. Kids not the first time he's seen living crystal. And this crystal too. So many questions....

But at least he knows it's real. Feeling it with his fingers makes it undeniable.]

Hm...

This must have hurt.

[crystallinelore]

[...

he shrugs, lightly.]

Power always has a cost.
