AURYHN: -he comes and goes like this often, keeping under kavi's radar the best he can, but it takes an awful lot of work to avoid his security measures... it would be a more exciting challenge if the circumstances were different. but as it is, he only feels frustrated and guilty whenever he comes home or leaves.-
AURYHN: -he's trying to slip in quietly with the hopes he can get a little bit of shut eye... yes, even EVER VIGILANT HEROES such as himself need to rest sometimes. he has to concede to that. but just a little rest... he's creeping down the halls towards his sleeping chambers, glancing around, hacking into security feeds if he needs to.....-
KAVI: =Oh he's been on it. Especially with all this fresh as hell family drama he's just eating anything to hyperfocus on. Auryhn gets to his room silently and peacefully. Perhaps with too much ease, all seems quiet. Even his own usual servant bots are things to avoid as he goes. Kavi's been very busy getting intimate with every one of them and their programming.=
KAVI: =Once he's inside and maybe getting ready to get into bed the door to the room clicks shut. The old behind the door trick. Extra silent sans for a subtle click of the lock for dramatic effect= sup.
AURYHN: -DAMN!! the oldest trick in the book!! just as dramatically, he WHIRLS around to look at his captor. his beautiful, radiant captor.- Kavi! Deerheart!
AURYHN: I was only readying myself for a little nap...
KAVI: =REMOVES SHIRT= bitchin i'll join
KAVI: buckle up buttercup =ELBOW DROPS HIM INTO THE SACK=
AURYHN: - :boom: -
AURYHN: -ragdolls into bed, sproinging off the sheets a little before he settles, stunned and enamored, but mostly fearful of the inevitable interrogation that will follow.-
AURYHN: Ah yes... This is MUCH better -wheeze-
KAVI: =Oh you bet it will, cuddles up to him and pats his wheeze= i know
KAVI: hey, when was the last time you were in babe? i lost track =no he didn't=
AURYHN: My... I wouldn't say it's been THAT long... -starts getting those zahhak sweats-
KAVI: mmm interesting perspective but i guess going hard for hours on end makes it really hard to keep up with the time
KAVI: brooding and patrolling, patrolling and brooding. quite the busy guy.
KAVI: almost like you're not leaving any rest and thinkin time, so some might say =keeps patting. pat pat pat pat stares at him=
AURYHN: -don't... don't LOOK at him like that!!- Nonsense... I fail to see what there is to even think about
AURYHN: It's all rather str8forward! I keep a vigilant eye out, and no one gets hurt!!!!!!!!
AURYHN: And see? I'm resting now
AURYHN: Nothing to worry a8out!
KAVI: mmmmmm false =pats his face now=
KAVI: i think there's a lot to think about, some shit you're runnin from while also keepin eyes out
KAVI: you're a great host and all these guests are being left to my devices, don't get me wrong i'm glad you're comin here to rest and eat up
KAVI: i mean, otherwise i'd have to hunt for my boy
AURYHN: HA HA... Don't 8e ridiculous...
AURYHN: Naturally, I care a8out the people of Avalon! That has always 8een my top priority
AURYHN: 8ut this doesn't mean I am so consumed 8y ANY manner of neg8tive emotion over the loss of any ONE individual that my acuity sh001d 8e mist8ken for, say... HYSTERICS AND GRIEF
AURYHN: I'm fine! There's simply work to 8e done!!!!!!!! HORSENESTLY
KAVI: :/
KAVI: =long silence=
KAVI: babe. not gonna lie
KAVI: that sounds like exactly what it is.
KAVI: =sits up= losing someone close to you fuckin sucks it's not something you brush off
KAVI: i'm no professional but i know work-obsessed avoidance when i see it
AURYHN: -his ears droop slightly, giving him the look of a scolded puppy. but the guilt gives way to frustration again, his brows knitting.-
AURYHN: We weren't close
AURYHN: I had herdly spoken to him in sweeps
AURYHN: There's no reason to wallow... I only--
AURYHN: Wish... to prevent such a thing from happening again... -avoids looking at him.-
KAVI: still it's not your fault
KAVI: you can't be everywhere at once Auryhn, you do a damn good job
AURYHN: -now it's his turn to sit up, but he still refuses to look at him.- I can't, 8ut I have the means to try
AURYHN: And I have to try! If I don't, there's not telling what might happen! To me, to you--
AURYHN: There's danger everywhere
AURYHN: And fending it off has done me well in surviving this far, hasn't it????????
KAVI: =Frowns and reaches to cup Auryhn's face, turning him so they can have eye contact= something can happen to you too KAVI: don't get me wrong i have total faith in your capabilities and i have such a fucking heart boner for your sweet, heroic spirit and gung-ho attitude but i'm still worried about you baby
KAVI: you can survive a whole lot of times but it only really takes one misstep... i don't. want that to happen.
KAVI: we held down the fort, i know you have a job to do but you also have shit to process and you have a rockin body to protect from general harm. :(
AURYHN: -he winces a little as he's forced to look directly at him and those beautiful baby blue eyes. it's difficult, when he knows this his own are filled to the brim with fear. they must be.-
AURYHN: Kavi... You are far too precious
AURYHN: As a person... And to me
AURYHN: I do not wish to concern you with my... shenanigans
KAVI: =Does he like them when they're squinting? Because that's what's going on right now.= shenanigans??? i sincerely hope you're not callin your emotions shenanigans :/
AURYHN: ...
AURYHN: Ah! No! Just-- -sweats- My... 8ehoovior that results from those emotions
KAVI: then maybe you should talk about some of those emotions and, in the magical process of workin through them and not stuffin em down, we can get you to a place where shenaniganry doesn't occur
KAVI: i believe in us KAVI: we can do it =hand over his heart. touch the tid= together
AURYHN: -his pusher tightens under kavi's touch. it's difficult to accept, even after all this time, after he first left the mountain for good... that he isn't alone, that self preservation isn't necessarily just about survival.-
AURYHN: -his own hand curls around kavi's, squeezing it tight against his chest.- Yes... We can
AURYHN: I... apologize for 8eing difficolt
AURYHN: I will rest and then I will... attempt to process
KAVI: good... =sincerely honks tid but kisses his cheek softly=
KAVI: we'll take it slow babe, a trot, neigh, a leisure gait even
KAVI: but it'll all be fine
AURYHN: ... Don't make fun of me -wheezes, but he's placated by tiddy squeezes and moves to pull kavi into a hug.-
KAVI: but i love you, i gotta =yessssss here comes him getting all cozy in these arms and cuddles. Also pushing Auryhn back down=
AURYHN: -falls back into the sheets, holding him tight and realizing suddenly just how tired he actually is.-
AURYHN: I love you too -murmurs against his hair with an aching earnesty.-
KAVI: =rubs at his back and sides, lil massage. He just hums in response and lets Auryhn rest. He hasn't been too particularly tired. Nestled in his shoulder and pulls up a soft screen behind him. Doing a little monitoring while hum Aurhyn to sleep=
