[lovebombing]

No, actually! I'm just here for the party. To rub elbows. Get to know people.

[Y'know. Typical businessman stuff.]

Say. You really don't seem to like that guy. [Elysium, he means.]

[frostfist]

Let's just say I prefer it when people don't foist unasked for parties on me regarding the nature of my relationship status without checking in with me first.

[ Anyway, ]

I'm afraid I don't have much to offer you though, if you're looking to rub elbows. I don't have much by the way of tangible skills to offer.

[lovebombing]

Oh. Yikes. Secrets riiight out in the open...

[Jeez, Elysium....why......]

Really? But you look like such a skilled guy? Those guns of yours don't lie, either. Go on, flex 'em! Let's see.

[He means ur BIG. MEATY. ARMS]

[frostfist]

[ What is he, a circus animal being put on display? (Yes, he may as well be right now.) Anyway, who knows where they are right now but I'm saying they're at axe throwing, a perfect time for men to show off their guns. ]

Surely there are plenty of guys with more impressive weapons at their disposal around here. [ He also means arms. Yuwon is right there with his webtoon protag build?? ] But if you're that curious, why not join me for a round and find out?

[ Okay. He will not leave for now. ]

[lovebombing]

I have eyes, but these lookers are fixed on you, buddy.

[So!]

Sure. I'm not some kinda axe expert, but I'll do my best for you.

[frostfist]

Shouldn't you be doing your best for yourself and not for the approval of a stranger?

[ But okay, time for them to get set up in front of one of the targets. ]

Does this mean you've already rubbed elbows with everyone else here? Or am I just a stop in the middle before you make your way to the end of the road?

[lovebombing]

My best is sometimes not enough! But I'm someone who gets their strength from the power of friendship! Or...something like that.

[He shakes his head.]

Neither! You're my first one! And you seem like the most important pair of elbows here. Isn't this party for you?

[frostfist]

[ One would think this party would be for him with all the fuss and fanfare and yet.... Wriothesley peers through the crowd until he finds Elysium's familiar silver and black hair. ]

If it were my party, I would have been consulted for it. [ Instead, he's just been paraded around. ] Pretty sure he [ with a nod towards Elysium ] just wanted an excuse to throw a party.

[ This may or may not be true. Alternatively: ]

Though if you'd like, I'm sure we could make you the man of the next few hours instead, Mr. .....?

[lovebombing]

Oh. He just roped ya into it, huh....

[Also looking over with...a somewhat odd look, something like intense focus, before it drops and he's back to his dopey little cat smile.]

Nonono! Please. I'm not the main guy out on the stage, so to speak. The name's Sampo Koski. And you, pal, are the illustrious Wriotheslesy, huh?

[frostfist]

[ Is that a gaze of clown longing.....just kidding, Wriothesley has no idea what's going on between the two of them, though that look is a little odd. Perhaps something to look into later?? ]

Hardly illustrious. [ Damn, that makes him sound so high and mighty?? ] I'm nothing more than your average guy, no different from anyone else here.

[ But he will adhere to formalities and stick out one hand for a shake. ]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Koski, despite the circumstances.

[lovebombing]

[he has very normal thoughts about that man]

A real pleasure. [And a firm, business-like shake for you, sir.] But tell me....you really aren't a bachelor anymore? Or did he just make that up?

[frostfist]

[ He flashes Sampo a smile, this time with some wry humor imbued in it. ]

Sadly I'm still on the market. Unless you'd like to do away with my bachelor status yourself?

[ makes all my threads yaoi ig, why not ]

[lovebombing]

Aw. Don't tempt me, you sly handsome devil, you.

[A little wink wonk.]

I might if no one else does. I mean. Look at you!

[frostfist]

[ Cute of Sampo to try and butter him up like that. Wriothesley feels a little of his usual good humor returning. ]

I'm just kidding, although that's very nice of you to say. [ He can (sometimes) take a compliment when it's lobbed at him. ] Though I'm surprised you'd settle for me when you've got matching good looks to spare. Surely you've got your own crowd falling at your feet?

[lovebombing]

Well, they don't call me Tall, Blue, and Handsome for nothing!

[no]


[no one calls him this except himself]

But I'm the kinda guy who's hard to catch. I find it fun, really.

[frostfist]

[ Wrio will start calling him that now, hope Sampo is ready. ]

So you're the kind of guy more interested in the chase than the catch. [ Which, fair. To each his own. ] Do you just like all the attention?

[lovebombing]

[please don't do this his ego is already so big]

Maybe? I mean, sometimes it gets a little much! But if its on my own terms...that's a deal worth pursuing.



Pun intended.

[frostfist]

[ We can make it bigger. ]

Oh? And what are these terms of yours?

[lovebombing]

That you don't interfere with my business too badly. And you don't put me in jail. Hehe.

....Maybe there's more, but you gotta find out on your own!

[frostfist]

[ How much does this guy know about his past? Or is it just uncanny coincidence he's used a turn of phrase that's particularly relevant? ]

Fortunately I don't do that anymore, so you won't have to worry about being handcuffed any time soon. [ A raise of one brow. ] Unless you're into that?

[lovebombing]

Don't do that anymore?

[Oh. How scary. He gives a sideways glance to him, before he offers his wrists, with a sly little smile.]

I don't know if I am. Maybe you should give it a go.

[He clearly has the look of I'll absolutely never stay in them for long.]

[frostfist]

[ This really escalated, huh.

Wriothesley gives those outstretched wrists a long, assessing look - almost as though he's seriously contemplating the merits of slapping a pair of handcuffs on this guy and taking him back to [redacted] - before flashing another smile and waving his hand. ]

Just kidding. I don't even have my handcuffs on me anyway. [ Hello? ] Though if you are genuinely interested, I'm sure there are plenty of people in this city that would love to help you out.

[lovebombing]

Hehe. I'm interested in you, though?

[And now he's pulling back his hands to his sides and grinning. No harm, no foul.]

But really, you actually own those things? I assume they're for a job.

[frostfist]

Something like that.

[ If word's gotten around then word's gotten around, but until then he'll happily be purposefully vague about the subject. He waves one hand in the air. ]

You never know when you might come across a drunken brawl on the street or a thief trying to make off with someone's purse and need to restrain them.

[lovebombing]

Are you a cop.

[ARE YOU A COP!!!!!!!!]
