[ he's just pouting again because he knows he's being teased, even though the tips of his ears are still red. at least he's not leering like a pervert at all—scantily clad women don't bother him when he expects it ]
I think I'm becoming honored that you're so comfortable around me.
[ yves just goes to stay by the side of the water then - dipping the finger of his hand into the springs in hopes of some relief and finding... none at all ]
... hard to explain, like I'm sure you experienced too.
[ nods... he closes his eyes and tries to sort through them ]
My name is Yves. I'm from an island called Arpéchéle. The land beloved by Death. I... died when I was 17. [ a beat ] 22? [ uh oh ] I was used in a failed sacrifice by... my friend, Scien.
[ . . . he sinks down slightly at that, closing his eyes and letting his fingers settle into the water of the hot spring. focusing on that. only that. ]

C'mon, where were you headed.
[she'll help if he looks like he needs it.]
no subject
[ but he's walking like he's not injured at all, of course ]
I just... wanted to sit by the hot springs. It's freezing.
[ it is a normal temperature ]
no subject
[the fretters are gonna be upSET.]
It's not freezing, by the way, but whatever. I'll drag you away from 'em if you start looking faint or anything.
no subject
[ if he's being honest but
he's willing to try anything, and that's why he'll keep walking to the hot springs ]
no subject
[could be something lingering, maybe...
but she'll accompany him to the spring.]
no subject
No... but I was a ghost. Everyone else was alive. So I think being dead... made me very cold.
[ said so matter of factly because apparently yves is acclimating to always being dead ]
no subject
[when they reach the springs she is, unfortunately, just going to start getting ready to hop in.]
no subject
HE'S
GOING TO PLACE A HAND ON HER SHOULDER ]
Why.

Can you just... wear a towel please...
no subject
[she hasn't even taken off her undies, wow...
she explicitly does not fucking do this on the weekends
however, she will in fact wear the towel.]
no subject
[ HE'S JUST GONNA SAY IT he doesn't even care that she doesn't participate! he's just embarrassed! he's still staring at the wall ]
Let me know when you're done...
no subject
[c'mon yves.
and when she's ready, betoweled-]
Okay, you can look without scarring your poor, virginal eyes.

I think I'm becoming honored that you're so comfortable around me.

Sooo what was it this time?

My name is Yves. I'm from an island called Arpéchéle. The land beloved by Death. I... died when I was 17. [ a beat ] 22? [ uh oh ] I was used in a failed sacrifice by... my friend, Scien.
No, I chose to die, or I...
[ ? ]
I couldn't die when it mattered most.
no subject
All I care about anyway is that you're Yves, one of the most obnoxious men I know.
no subject
... I am pretty obnoxious, huh?
[ though it's just a weak tease in return ]
