hushed-court:
Having spared a brief glance over toward the other after he’d introduced him, Jack was relieved to see the other going along with that suddenly bestowed name so well, upon turning the focus shift back toward his mother and his continued talking the young man drew his own brows in a bit at her question following his given story. Unfortunately however, he wasn’t immediately sure how to answer it… So instead he was silent for the moment, before feeling thankful that her attention had moved to the ravenette instead, hoping he’d address the question instead. Giving a small nod as they were gestured in, Jack followed in shortly after Quin, taking a moment to close the door behind himself before moving away.
Once again feeling relieved as the ravenette began explaining the situation, Jack simply allowed him to do the talking as he too moved to slip off his shoes, placing them back in roughly the same spot they were before he’d grabbed them to run out. He also felt rather glad that the other man was allowing the moment of his hand being released so suddenly to simply sweep by, guessing that his reason for doing so was understood rather easily… Straightening up after fixing his shoes, the blonde then blinked a bit at his mother’s words, at first happy that she’d agreed to let the other man stay before next looking a bit embarrassed at her joke. A feeling and expression which only worsened as Quin joined in with the jokes and laughter, a pinkish hue seeping over his cheeks as the ravenette nudged him. “Oh come on…” only muttering this slight complaint toward the teasing, he then sighed a little.
Brushing a hand over his face and into his bangs, he then made a small sound of agreement to the suggestion before actually speaking up. “Yes ma'am.” replying politely his attention then moved to Quin after his mother left the room, a soft sound of surprise moving through him as the other took his hand and began dragging him about. Stumbling just slightly as they first went to move he soon caught himself as was walking along beside the other, subtly leading the way toward the den as they walked since he felt that was as a starting place as any. “Ah, while I’m sure I already know where you’d prefer…” he began, a slightly rosy tint once again present upon his cheeks. “That might not be the best idea… There’s a guest room upstairs though, so we could make that up for you.” suggesting this as they entered the den, he then stopped a little ways into the room so the other could look about.
“Oh, I’m getting a room all to myself, huh?” the ravenette questioned the other as he allowed the o the other to sense take the lead on to where they were going. After all, the queen himself hadn’t an idea as to where anything was. “Are you saying you don’t want me to stay in the same bed as you?” Skin questioned him further with a small little smirk as he was being led into the den, almost ignoring the room entirely as he asked, but he eventually just brushed off th3 question, signaling it was fine if he didn’t answer it as he looked away from him and about the room. Thankfully on Jack’s end, Quin’s voice wasn’t loud enough for Jack’s mother to of heard him say those suggestive things…
The ravenette looked about the den with curiosity, the sound coming from in the room he assumed to of been a radio located somewhere u him he spotted what appeared to be a black box with colorful images moving across on it. He stared at the box in confusion for a while before he made his way toward it, weaving around the furniture to reach his goal, though as he did so, he had ran a hand along the fabric of the sofas until he settled in front of the box with the colorful moving images. He crouched, touching the screen with his gloved fingers and putting his face somewhat close to the screen only to back up a few moments later, rubbing at his eyes. “Nngh… What is that thing?” he questioned, still touching the screen with his other hand.
"Mm, if you want it anyway. But I figured it was better than the sofa, so..." initially giving a nod along with his answer before allowing his words to trail off, Jack then blinked once the other raised another question to him. Once again the blonde felt his face heat up a bit as he brought his free hand up to lightly rub the back of his neck. He didn't initially answer the question, however, an answer was given shortly after Quin had gone and brushed off the question. "Well, I wouldn't exactly mind... But I'd rather not chance having to explain that to my mum... Plus, it might be a bit for the two of us anyways..." murmuring this answer, he was indeed thankful that the other voice hadn't been loud enough for his mother to hear such things.
As the ravenette went about the den though, Jack gave a light sigh, letting the collected embarrassment ease off as he relaxed a bit. While he looked about though, the blonde hadn't yet considered that there might be things to unfamiliar to him... So, as Quin looked to the television in confusion, Jack again blinked a bit, as first simply watching while the other moved to investigate it. As the revenette went and crouched close to the screen though, he was about to speak up and say that he probably shouldn't do that, but retracted from saying so as the ravenette soon moved back. Upon being questioned about the object though, Jack pursed his lips for a moment, trying to think of how he'd explain it...
After a bit of thought however, he came to something that he hoped would be easy enough to understand. "It's a telly, er... television. I guess you'd say it's like a mix of a flip-book and radio?..." sounding a little unsure of his explanation, as he didn't know if it actually made all that much sense, he then went over to crouch down beside the other. "Want to check it out for a bit? Or would you rather I show you around some more first?" asking this along with a slight tilt his head, he then placed a hand on the other's shoulder before giving it a small rub. "If you do wanna watch though, the sofa would probably make for a more comfortable spot." he added before giving a quiet chuckle.
