[ Hm! HMM.

Maruki follows after him, picking up a similar pair of pants and grimacing. Two beanpoles who are doomed to have their ankles exposed...

You do need a kitchen. I remember what your eating habits are like! How am I supposed to come cook for you if you don't have a kitchen?

[ It certainly is modest, especially compared to a castle, but Maruki and Dolph have spoken enough about that. He knows now that by the time he arrived, the castle was already haunted for Vash. ]

I wish we had room at the machiya so I could repay the kindness you showed us early on. But maybe you prefer living alone...? Ah, I guess I never asked!

[ Oh! A pair of pants that actually looks long enough. He's holding it up against Vash's torso to inspect. ]

[ Yes, yes he is. The pants look suitable and he's shoving them into Vash's arms. If Vash puts them back, he'll buy them for him. DEAL WITH IT. ]

What's enough for you by your standards is usually too little by anyone else's, so you'll forgive me for worrying over you.

[ Back to picking through piles of clothes as he very casually tacks on: ]

But you don't want a roommate, is that what I'm hearing? Not even Dolph?

[ Okay, well, Maruki worries about everyone he cares about, so jot that one down, Mr. The Stampede.

However, more pressingly:

Gottem.

Maruki looks at him with nothing less than pure innocence.
]

Well, we're not talking about his preference right now. We're talking about yours.

[ He cocks his head to the side, genuinely curious. ]

Would you enjoy sharing a room at the–

[ WAIT. ]

I thought you said you had a place of your own above the inn.

Hey.

I have something for you.

Where can we meet?
laserhawk: (Tech Noir)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-01-30 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'll meet you there.

[ it takes him longer. he's nervous. more nervous than he expected to be. but he does it. one step at a time.

but he arrives at the portal. holding a little sapling.]


Hey.

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-01-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ that brings a faint smile on his face as he nudges him back lightly. ]

This is for you, actually. A very late birthday present.

Yeah, I — [ dolph clears his throat. he's not sure why he's still embarrassed. nervous. not after how far they've come. how comfortable they are with each other. in this space.

but this moment — he had planned for it so many months ago. rehearsed it over and over until it became a lost hope. ]
— I wanted us to do it together. Take care of it together.

I know it's not the same as with — [ he falters again. he doesn't feel he can bring up knives. ] — I know it's not the same.

But it'd be something new. We do together.

[ dolph can't help the sigh of relief that escapes. it's not that he expected rejection but this moment was built up in his head for so long, it was hard to imagine the outcome. for it to be real right now . . . he's glad.

dolph leans against him with a smile, tilting his head so he can press a light kiss to vash's cheek. ]


It's a darjeeling sapling. From my father's homeland. The leaves are used for tea.

[ dolph would shrug if he wasn't careful with his space at the moment. he manages a quiet hum. ]

There isn't much to mention. I don't remember anything else about him. Not his name or what he looks like. I was very young when Eden took me from the streets. They branded him as an immigrant thief.

[ a pause. the matter of his parents doesn't feel as heavy as alex or anything else because he was just too young. not their faces, not their voices. sometimes a smell or a taste will hit him with an impression, but it passes through his fingers like smoke.

he doesn't voice that his parents may have sold him. given him up. eden spread many lies but that was the problem. where was the lie and where was the truth? ]

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-01-30 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Anything, huh?

[ that sounds nice. maybe deep down, he wants to believe his parents had loved him. that they had no other option or he was just taken. it would be nice to know someone had. though it's painful too. loving dolph in eden never did anyone any favors.

he smiles faintly. ]


I like that idea. For now, just knowing the connection between him and this tea is enough.
laserhawk: (Careful Shouting)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-01-30 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ he blinks, perplexed. ]

Of course I trust you.

[ hold on. ]

You're staying at the inn?
