[asking-baskerville]

[ he’s . . . alive . kind of . ]

[ just resting a great deal . ]

[spotlight-on-juniper]

[ . . . baskerville is arriving once more . ]

[ he seems to be deep in thought as he approaches . then , he speaks . ]

“ juniper . ”

Juniper is in his cell... as per usual. He perks up when he hears that voice, however. His eyes dart to the other.

"... Basker? You alright?"

[asking-baskerville]

[ shifting slightly . . . baskerville seems uncomfortable , almost . not by juniper , however . . . ]

“ . . . i am uncertain . i was hoping you would be able to help me discern what is wrong with me . you are far more experienced in matters of the heart , i’m sure . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"... matters of the heart?"

He takes note of Baskerville's body language. A smirk comes to his face.

"Has the cold and calculated Baskerville's heart been warmed by someone~?"

[asking-baskerville]

“ do not . ”

[ he growls , arms crossing over his chest . he stares down at the ground , a huff leaving him . ]

“ i . . . perhaps this was a mistake . forget i said anything . ”

[ ooh . bad move , juniper . ]

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"What? Hey, c'mon. I'm just teasing. You can talk to me! I'll help the best I can."

A very soft pout.

"Please? I'll be good."

[asking-baskerville]

. . . thinking .

“ fine . ”

a long sigh .

“ it’s very . . . complicated . as in — there is someone i wish to grow closer to , but i am very . . . afraid . of them getting hurt as a result . or worse . but these feelings will not leave , no matter how much i wish them to . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Hmm... well, why would they get hurt?"

He leans against the bars, his back facing Baskerville.

"I need to know that before I can help.

[asking-baskerville]

“ because injury and death follow me like a curse . ”

. . . for some reason , he wants john to look at him .

“ and i am . . . awful at protecting people . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Well... protection isn't always your responsibility, you know?"

He glances back at Basker.

"I think once you accept that, then you can let that person into your heart. Because until then... your self image will get in the way of a healthy relationship. With them and yourself."

[asking-baskerville]

. . . he’s silent for a long moment.

“ . . . what if that someone is perfectly safe , then ? hidden away where no harm can reach them . ”

looking john in the eye . silently pleading him to understand what he’s trying to say . . .

“ and what if they could never love one such as myself ? ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

Perfectly safe? No harm can reach them?

That look in Baskerville's eye... he knows that look. That want. That longing.

"... I think they already do."

[asking-baskerville]

staring at the other . . . so lovingly . so tenderly — a gaze so unlike baskerville one could mistake him for an imposter .

“ how could you , though ? ”

voice shaking ever so slightly .

“ you’ve seen what a mess i can be . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"You've had to deal with my mess. It's only fair I deal with yours."

He turns to face Basker once more.

"Besides... it's worth it."

[asking-baskerville]

“ is it , truly ? i fear you will only burn your hands trying to hold all of the pieces of me together . ”

a deep sigh . stepping closer to juniper — clawed hand brushes delicately against the actor’s cheek .

“ i do not wish to cause you further pain . one could argue you have suffered enough . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

[ . . . baskerville is arriving once more . ]

[asking-baskerville]

*There is a soft knock followed by a loud meow*

Ssshh don’t be loud boo!

*Buggy and Boo is at the other side with a bucket of candy, none of it is chocolate, Buggy is dressed as a witch while Boo… is just Boo*

Hello? I have come to give you a thing! if that’s okay….

*There is another meow, this time a lot quieter*

[ . . . footsteps . opening the door , looking down at bug . ]

“ yes ? what is it ? ”

[ said sternly . seems it’s a bad day for baskerville . . . ]

[spotlight-on-juniper]

He's dressed as Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls.

"Luck be a lady... maybe I'll get some visitors today."

[asking-baskerville]

[ speaking of visitors . . . ]

[ here comes baskerville — a smug little smile coming to his face as he sees john . ]

“ oh boy. so who do we have here today , then ? ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

Ah. A visitor.

"Baskerville! You finally came."

He flips his hair.

"For your information, I'm Sky Masterson. You know, from Guys and Dolls?"

[asking-baskerville]

[ he huffs out a slight laugh , shaking his head . ]

“ you can take the kid out of the theatre but not the theatre out of the kid . for some reason , i don’t know why i expected differently out of you . ”

[ reaching over . . . stealing john’s hat ! and promptly putting it on . ]

“ i’m surprised they let you dress up . ”

[spotlight-on-juniper]

He's dressed as Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls.

"Luck be a lady... maybe I'll get some visitors today."

[asking-baskerville]

[ speaking of visitors . . . ]

[ here comes baskerville — a smug little smile coming to his face as he sees john . ]

“ oh boy. so who do we have here today , then ? ”

[asking-baskerville]

[ everyone’s dressing up today . . . ]

[ except for him , it seems . ]

[spotlight-on-juniper]

[ mmn . . . ]

[ here comes baskerville, to supervise juniper for a while . he seems tired . . . ]

Cue a light coming to Juniper's eyes. He notices the other's lacking attitude.

"Basker? You alright?"

[asking-baskerville]

[ a long sigh . . . before shaking his head . ]

“ didn’t sleep last night . i’ll be fine . ”

[ even if he is about to yawn . . . ]

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Ah. That's not good... you can't really watch me properly if you didn't get sleep."

He frowns, a hum leaving him.

"... why don't you take a nap? I'll behave."

[asking-baskerville]

[ . . . pondering it for a moment . shaking his head once more . ]

“ no . either way , i am fated not to rest well . ”

[ a sigh . ]

“ as i said. i’ll be fine . ”
