High Off Caffeine

“The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats...” ― Albert Schweitzer Dependent RP blog for WU

[encore-maestro]

Hey, Roderich? I think it's about time to let Zazu fly off. I'm going to unwrap his bandages and let him go - do you want to join me?

‘Zazu…?’ Oh, I see. Yes, that would be lovely thank you. I’m glad to hear he’s better. Where are you letting him go?

[encore-maestro]

Roderich lightheartedly huffed at her scolding of his cat’s diet. “If a plastic bag can’t kill him, then I doubt cake would.” Roderich shook his head lightly at the unpleasant memory. “Besides, he seemed to be enjoying himself, and yes, he did eat a whole slice to himself.”  

[encore-maestro]

Roderich chuckled lightly at the other’s humor with a small nod in agreement. “Yes, thick jumpers and steaming hot cups of tea should ward of the cold.” Tea or coffee would work, but Roderich was trying to cut back on his caffeine intake. Coffee only works after a certain degree. Once you exceed over a certain amount, the body builds immunity, and the coffee pointless.

“Speaking of which, would you like some while we wait?” Roderich offered as he slowly rose to his feet, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling of wet wool sticking to his skin. “I might also take advantage of your bravery and change into something dry.”

Whoops!

Now, Bastien was many things. Intelligent, agile, quick to come up with a solution to a problem, even if he was rather reluctant to share it for fear of being incorrect. Unfortunately, a possesor of physical strength wss not one of those things and so when Roderich kmocked into him he did of course promptly fall to the floor.

[encore-maestro]

Before Roderich could even blink, the stranger was up on his feet. If Roderich’s head was lightly thrumming, he might have noted aloud how impressed he was by the other’s sudden speed. Nonetheless, he took the offered hand gingerly, and pulled himself up.

“No, no, it’s not your fault but my own. Are you sure you’re alright?” Roderich questioned once more as he began to brush out the kinks of his clothes due to the fall.

“As tempting as your offer is, I wonder if you’ll have anything new to show me. After all, I’ve been living in the city for a few years now.” Roderich teased in return, having taken note of the other’s slightly narrowed eyes in which he returned with a small upward turn of his lips.

[feierlichschworen-deactivated20]

“Oh sure- I’ve been everywhere.” Now Roderich could take this how he wanted, though his tone held the slightest hint of sarcasm. He’d only been here a few months after all- he hadn’t a freaking clue where he was outside of a few blocks’ radius. 

[encore-maestro]

“Everywhere?” A dark brow quirked questioningly though his smile only grew. He offered the other a nonchalant shrug of his shoulder as if in capitulation that the other’s words must be true, but the small defiant upturn of his nose said otherwise. “I’m sure you have.”

‘Zazu…?’ Oh, I see. Yes, that would be lovely thank you. I’m glad to hear he’s better. Where are you letting him go?

[encore-maestro]

“Oh, it was no trouble.” Roderich assured, before adding, “Thank you for the cake. It was delicious. Krümel enjoyed it too.” Roderich might have been strict with some animals, but that didn’t mean he didn’t like to spoil them as well. Therefore Krümel got to enjoy his slice too.

“Did you bake it yourself?”

Whoops!

Now, Bastien was many things. Intelligent, agile, quick to come up with a solution to a problem, even if he was rather reluctant to share it for fear of being incorrect. Unfortunately, a possesor of physical strength wss not one of those things and so when Roderich kmocked into him he did of course promptly fall to the floor.

[encore-maestro]

Roderich wasn’t always the most observant person, and such an awareness for his surroundings decreased when he was lost for instead of looking for what was in front of him, he instead looked up at the puzzling street signs. Before he knew it, he found his feet no longer beneath him, but instead another solid form, which to his horror, was another person than himself entirely.

“Oh, excuse me.” Roderich shook his head lightly as if to shake away the small haze which clouded it momentarily. With as much grace as one could muster from such a fall, which wasn’t very much, Roderich rolled off the man to sit himself up beside him instead. “Are you... are you alright? I’m sorry for running into you. I’m afraid... I wasn’t looking.”

“As tempting as your offer is, I wonder if you’ll have anything new to show me. After all, I’ve been living in the city for a few years now.” Roderich teased in return, having taken note of the other’s slightly narrowed eyes in which he returned with a small upward turn of his lips.

[encore-maestro]

Roderich couldn’t help the raising of a dark brow at the other’s clear sarcasm, but he wrote it off quickly. He himself was irritated and cold, and both combined was just a bad combo altogether. Though his brow was no longer raised towards Arthur, there still remained a slight aggravated twitch.

Roderich released a self-deprecating huff of a laugh before sparing a glance down at his soaked midsection. “Ah, yes... I’d go and change, but who knows if this demonic thing will act up again, and I’d hate to abandon a fellow comrade.” Roderich lightly joked before assuring a moment later, “I’ll make sure to change once it stops dripping.” A teasing smile formed across his lips, “Then we can check your radiator if you’d like?”

[encore-maestro]

Hey, Roderich? I think it's about time to let Zazu fly off. I'm going to unwrap his bandages and let him go - do you want to join me?

‘Zazu…?’ Oh, I see. Yes, that would be lovely thank you. I’m glad to hear he’s better. Where are you letting him go?

[encore-maestro]

Roderich nodded in agreement, “Yes, he looks much better than before.” His feathers were less ruffled and more lustrous than when Roderich had first saw him, and he looked pleasantly plump as well.

On the other hand, Zazo, seemed more domesticated which Roderich wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or bad. With Zazo being so domesticated, would he be able to live on his own again? Would he want to?

“Which park did you find him in?”

[Text: Oliver]: Hello, this is Roderich from the library a few days ago. When would you perhaps be free? I would like to return your clean handkerchief when possible.

[text]: oh, hello! I’m free in the afternoon today, if you’d like to risk meeting in the library again? ^u^ xx

[writerwithaloudmind-blog]

“Oh- well, just message me whenever you find you’re free!” Oliver chirped, “you know the places better than I, I wouldn’t want to choose a wrong date or place-” now, when asked a question of such large responsibility, Oliver would opt for the other party to make all the major decisions; what if he chose wrong?

[encore-maestro]

“Are you sure?” Roderich questioned, but seeing how the other man seemed adamant about the topic, Roderich relented with a small nod, “Alright, if that is what you prefer. Are there any days you are more free than others?”

Moving In | Abel & Roderich

[manofmuchworth-blog]

“Oh, he didn’t interrupt,” Abel assured, gaze now on Roderich, “I was finishing the call anyway, he came at the right time.” He tried a smile, as to reassure the other, but whether he achieved the effect he wanted, he wasn’t so sure.

“And yeah, the rabbit thing, maybe when I’m rich and have a large house, I’ll be able to have one.” He chuckled lightly, almost seeming childish, dreaming up such a thing. Well, that was hardly a dream; a dream would be a large house, being rich, and having the house filled with rabbits. Lots of them. Now /that/ was a dream.

[encore-maestro]

“Hm,” Roderich hummed lightly as he began to fix a cup of his own coffee with considerably more sugar than Abel’s. “That is a nice goal.” Roderich didn’t think too much about Abel’s statement about becoming wealthy one day. Wasn’t that everyone’s goal in life? Or at least to become wealthy enough to afford the things they never could have before? It seemed more than logical even if Roderich hadn’t had that feeling before. All the things he grew up wanting couldn’t be bought with money unfortunately, but that was for another time to brood over.

“Do you have your class schedule all sorted? Hopefully that wasn’t as much as moving seems to be.” Roderich inquired, keeping the conversation going for a little while longer.

Moving In | Abel & Roderich

[manofmuchworth-blog]

“I think he overheard my…dispute with the guy on the phone,” Abel hummed, lightly, gaze on the cat intently. It was strange, honestly, how Krümel seemed to calm him down rather easily; maybe he didn’t want to upset the little guy? He wasn’t sure.

“I was never really allowed a pet, especially when I was younger,” Abel commented, off handedly, and shrugged gently, as though it hadn’t bothered him one bit. But he looked between Roderich and Krümel and huffed, “but I really did want one, a rabbit- but let’s not get into that…”

[encore-maestro]

Roderich couldn’t help the small raise of his brow in question to Abel’s sudden change of demeanor. What in the world did his little cat do to soothe the other?

“I’m sorry if he disrupted your phone call. He’s a therapy cat so he’s attracted towards stress.” Roderich explained before glancing over briefly at Krümel‘s food bowl to make sure it was filled. “I know what you mean about not allowed to have any pets. My parents are very strict when it comes to cleanliness. I was only allowed to keep Krümel as long as he stayed here, and since he used to belong to my cousin who loved him dearly, I couldn’t let him go to some pound.

“As for your rabbit, I wouldn’t give up so easily. In a few years you may be able to have one once you move out.” Roderich offered a small reassuring smile. He wasn’t sure if he would recommend keeping a rabbit at the apartment. It wasn’t that he was worried about Krümel. Krümel most likely wouldn’t pay any heed to it. It was more so whether a rabbit would be happy in a cage.

[encore-maestro]

Whoops!

“!” Before he knew what hit him, or more so what ran into him, Roderich found his right hand colliding against the pavement first as a poor attempt to catch himself while his left braced someone else entirely.

‘Scheisse.’ “Ah…” He groaned softly. His right hand was scraped up, his glasses gone, and his head was pounding with an oncoming headache. What in the world? He tried to slowly sit up only to find someone hindering his path. Ah, so that’s what ran into him.

“Hey,” Roderich shook her shoulder softly, “Are you alright?”

[kavey-deactivated20160222]

“Y-Yes,” her reply was in that of a hushed tone, still in a bit of a daze from the collision though once she had realized that her body had been cushioned from the fall by the other, she panicked and removed herself from him. “Fuck! I mean, shit. W-Wait no, ugh.. I’m terribly sorry about that,” as if a simple apology, with the inclusion of abrupt cursing, could ever make up for falling on top of someone after knocking them over, unintentionally, of course.

It took her another moment to realize her phone had slipped from her hands and hastily, she searched with her eyes until she had spotted it laying beside glasses which she assumed belonged to him. Grabbing onto both the items, she hid her phone within the pocket of her jeans and held both hands out to him - one with the glasses and the other to help him up. “Let’s get you up.”

[encore-maestro]

Roderich winced lightly when she moved off him so suddenly. It wasn’t that she was crushing him, but they had taken quite a fall and he therefore felt a little bruised. He was sure the feeling would pass in a minute or two, but for now it was very much present.

“No, it’s fine.” Roderich insisted, not paying much heed to her litany of curses. “I wasn’t paying attention, so I’m partly at fault too. I’m sorry.” It took him a moment to take her offered hand, and raise himself up. He thanked her softly before glancing around briefly for where his glasses had landed before realizing she had those too.

“Ah, thank you.” He reached out with his scraped hand to take the offered glasses, and placing them back on. “Are you sure you’re alright?” He wasn’t the only one sore from the fall was he? He knew he wasn’t physically the strongest and toughest person out there, but landing on him couldn’t have been very comfortable.

‘Are you incapable of answering a question?’ Roderich lightly bit the inside of his cheek to keep from voicing out such thoughts. Instead he hid his annoyance behind a small smile, “Oh, so you not only fix cars but you chauffeur too?” ‘Two can play at this game.’

[feierlichschworen-deactivated20]

“Hm,” Roderich hummed absentmindedly since cars wasn’t something he really cared for, but it seemed like Gilbert felt quite the opposite. “Have you always had an interest in cars?”

[encore-maestro]

Whoops!

“!” Before he knew what hit him, or more so what ran into him, Roderich found his right hand colliding against the pavement first as a poor attempt to catch himself while his left braced someone else entirely.
