change was in my blood

I've been running such a long time I've been hiding from the truth I've been battered been broken, been buried Now I'm death proof, death proof

   — OWEN’S FACE CRINKLES INTO FRUSTRATION , and he pouts , crossing his arms before he has to go back to making motions that’ll attract more customers. And maybe he’s slightly tempted to bat at Nikolaj with his toy lightsaber , but he won’t do that. DESPITE how much he’s clearly annoyed by his ally’s teasing. ❝ You know , the ONLY WAY even you could get me to breakdance is if Prince Leo were with you and used it as a threat to my position as a retainer. And , by the way ! I don’t think he’d appreciate this literal bullying ! ❞ Bullying ?? That was a stretch. But Owen’s petty. ❝ I’m not even going to answer that - but I technically have to highly encourage you buy something from the store regardless. … We have a quota to fill for the holidays. ❞

Odin’s obvious annoyance only serves to further amuse Niko, his smirk spreading into a grin. “I think Lord Leo would be more concerned by the ridiculous outfit you’re wearing and your choice of profession than my quote unquote bullying,” Niko replies, followed by a slight tilt of his head. It’s then that Niko’s own face crinkles. As inscrutable as Niles has always tried to remain Niko isn’t quite like that anymore, they find it much harder to hide the sadness that creeps in when they think of their missing lord. “Maybe I will buy something, just for your sake, but don’t count on it.”

   ⁠— ❝ HOY THERE , GRACIOUS CUSTOMER !! MAY I INTEREST YOU IN … Ugh. ❞ He breaks character to heave a long sigh , forgetting why originally he volunteered to do this. He stands outside his workplace , hands on his hips &  lightsaber in one hand - of course , dressed in an … interesting Santa Costume ; a brown cloak over the regular attire that seems to fit a WEE BIT too tightly. Jedi Santa Claus was what he went with ; it beat Inigo’s suggestions of Hot Santa Claus , and that may have been what the original costume meant for , but that wasn’t exactly Owen’s ballpark. So he waves his fake green lightsaber around , shaking his cloak and swaying back and forth. ❝ TO YE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS !! Our Black Friday sales will be starting soon ; I will also take pictures if it means to check the store out !! I am only but a simple gracious Jedi waiting for my … SPACE SLEIGH OF THE GALAXIES to return … ❞ And a whisper , under his breath , ❝ I will breakdance in this costume if it means I get a raise. ❞ At least it helps him take part in his theatrics ; one of the reasons why he’s doing this in the first place. But the costume … that’s a bit much. ( Or maybe he secretly finds it cool , but he knows nobody else will. )

He feels a bit mean, but he can’t help bursting out at the sight of Odin when he spots him as he walks down the street. It’s been a long time since Niles shopped at The HQ or anything like it, but he could spare the the time for nostalgia especially when it applied to both this life and the last. “Ridiculous as usual,” he says casually as he arrives to stand beside his ally. “Now tell me, if I go in there and buy something does that mean they’re going to keep you out here embarrassing yourself for more or less time,” Niko asks with a slight smirk. “And how much would it cost to make you breakdance.”

@swcctcatastrophc​ said: “i’m sorry to barge in like this.”

“It’s fine,” Niko says as he continues with the morning stretches that the other’s arrival had interrupted. “The Theatre is open to anyone and everyone, what do you need?”

Would it be better if Leo arrived and forgot about you, or if he never arrived but you knew he'd remember you?

“I owe my life and so much more to Lord Leo, and I am sworn to protect him. As much as it would sting my pride for him not to remember me I would be alright as long as I could see him alive and well. He is, after all the one who gives a life like mine a purpose.”
