@inheroic​ replied to your post:      RITSUKA appears to be quite occupied with...

pops like three in his mouth behind master’s back

    ❛ AH ?! Robin ! What are you doing ?! Couldn’t you have waited until I actually gave you some ?! ❜

@inheroic // im going to come for robin bc i thought about this at 5 am and ritsu must just went fucking HOG WILD

They all knew Vivian’s wine was a dangerous thing, and yet that isn’t going to stop Ritsu from drinking just enough to get dizzy. It’s more fun that way, too. Ritsu knows they’re the overly affectionate sort when inebriated and sometimes it’s amusing to find Servants and compliment them into submission when Ritsu can’t get flustered in revenge.

Robin’s only in their periphery physically, but he still occupies most of their thoughts. A wineglass dangles from their hand as they proceed to tug Robin out of the room until they’re not anywhere near onlookers (it’s hard, with Robin’s perpetual fae entourage! But Ritsu shall succeed), one of the available rooms for guests. They turn to Robin once there and finally deign to explain themselves (whoops, poor Robin, he probably thought Ritsu was after a quickie. Too bad! It’s appreciation time.)

“Robin!” That is him, that is the boy they’re facing! “I gotta tell you stuff, ‘cause I was thinking about you, and I was thinkin’ wow, I super love that guy, and it’s been like twenty minutes since I told you so. So!” Ritsu clasps Robin’s cheeks in his hand, smooshing the Archer to make sure he can’t look away. “And you aren’t allowed to talk or shoo me away or disappear in May King ‘till I say I’m done. Or else I’ll use a command seal to make ya sit still!” Ritsu declares with finality.

It is very important to them that Robin knows he’s great. Command seal worthy level of importance. Their arm around his shoulder once more, Ritsu frog-marches Robin to the room’s chair and forces him down, plopping themselves on the arm of the chair. They keep one of Robin’s hands in their, playing with his fingers. “I was thinking about you, and I know you didn’t wanna come here ‘cause big events aren’t your jam, but you still toughed it out and came with me so I could visit. And I reeeally appreciate that! You’re so good at looking out for me and honestly I super need it most of the time. But thank you for all that. You’re really kind, even though you say you’re not and that you don’t like people, you’re still always reliable and super nice to me. If the whole Grand Order I only had you, I think we could still do it. You can do anything, ‘cause you’re smart and really good at understanding how stuff works and trying your best.”

There’s a moment of pause as Ritsu’s attention wanders to Robin’s hand in theirs, and they hold it up. “Your hands are nice, too,” they say in a mild tangent. Ritsu kisses Robin’s fingertips and carried on rambling “It takes a lotta strength to operate a bow and arrow. Your hands and shoulders are handsome. And it’s neat how you can get around in the forest all dead silent. You’re better than anybody else at it. D’you want me to go in order, I probably could. We all know your ass is perfect. Also, the concept of a ginger happy trail is kinda funny to me an’ yours is cute. Your chest is perfect and I wanna kiss it.”

“Your hair’s really soft and it smells like trees a lotta the time which makes me happy. Sometimes I kinda wish you’d pin it back more but then it makes seeing your whole face at once like a fun surprise. Your eyes are really pretty. I think your freckles are cute, and it’s funny how easy your cheeks go red. Also extremely cute. When I see you smile, it’s like. A billion Christmas lights. I’unno how to say it but, like, when I make you smile it feels like that’s all I wanna do for the rest of my whole life. You’ve become a little less hard on yourself lately and it makes me really excited to think that you might be liking yourself a little more, cause I don’t want anyone including yourself to be hard on you.”

Ritsu closes their eyes, leaning against Robin. “I just love you a whole lot, y’know.” How else is he supposed to explain it! And yet, it’s very important to them that Robin is aware.

“Romani and da Vinci once were talking about all the grails we get in Singularities. How they’re all kinda shards of a true Greater Grail, and maybe if there’s enough we could moosh them all together we’d get a wish granting grail.” Ritsu leans down, their cheek against Robin’s hair. This is where they kind of want to hide their face, embarrassed finally, but they keep talking. “I kept thinking that, if I did get a wish... I really wanted to give it to you. ‘Cause, I think, the biggest wish I have is that I wanna make you smile, so if somebody like said I could have any wish in the world, it’d be for that anyways.”

They make a little huffing noise, getting over being self-conscious. All out there now! All Robin can do is tell them to go away. ...Geez, somehow saying that was nerve-wracking and more sobering than Ritsu wanted it to be! They wish they still had the wine. Ritsu lets themselves slip forward to fall fully against Robin and look up at him, their red face now a bit less from alcohol. “So, that’s just what I wanted to say.”

Yeah, he can call them an idiot now.

@inheroic // starter call

Allies are hard to deal with, and this rayshift has no shortage of them. It’s a hassle. It’s easier for Alter to simply pick a direction and kill whoever happens to be in his way there, but of course he’s obligated to follow Haru’s instructions. Protect the weak, don’t let any of these allies or traveling companions get hurt. Not even the humans.

If Alter feels annoyed under the obligations, he figures it must be orders of magnitude worse for Haru. Even in moments of relative calm as is current (who knows how long that will last, probably not very long. He’s watchful even now). Alter sought Haru out to lurk alongside him a bit ago, slouching a little to make their height difference marginally less inconvenient. It’s a while still before Alter breaks the quiet. “You’re welcome to rely on us more, you know. You don’t have to force yourself to stay at the front lines or watch what happens to the people there.” Plenty of commanders don’t. Sometimes it’s cowardice, sometimes it’s practical. Sometimes forcing yourself to stay mired is more dangerous.

“RIKKO! Valentine’s is soon! Do. You. Know. What. This. Meaaaaans?” Yeah, probably. It’s not either of their first rodeo. Yet Ritsu is still here, flinging themselves into her space and pointing a dramatic finger towards her.

“It means we should probably sequester supplies now, before we die, and I will help you make candies for our combined population of Servants if we can help each other actually eat all of everyone’s gifts together also, because if any of it goes unappreciated I couldn’t morally handle it.”

ah, tatsuo’s reactions are always so delightful! no wonder he’s chaldea’s favourite chew toy. azathoth does not take it back, just stays grinning widely at tatsuo. he knows. he knows tatsuo knows. it’s not going to be azathoth who breaks first. “come now, i was told it’s important to keep your pets on a leash.”

a half-second before his head tilts a little, as if an idea stuck him and he’s barely holding back a snicker. “i’ll get you a bell and name tag too, if you like.” come on now, tatsuo. this is a game of chicken to see if you put it on first. because azathoth really, really wants to see tatsuo give up and accept his fate.

inheroic спросил(а):

how are maenad and azathoth enjoying the enma-tei? (because tatsuo is far too busy to pay attention)

There was quite a scuffle over whether Azathoth was even allowed or able to cross the bridge to the Enma-Tei, cursed creature and unholy divine as he is. Obviously, he stepped over the sparrows in the confusion and made himself perfectly comfortable in the lobby with the excuse of “you’re using my pet boy for labour, I should be able to oversee him.”

It wasn’t a very liked excuse but it sure was... an excuse. He could not be evicted, and has since been spending his time waiting for Tatsuo’s repairs to get to the onsen portion, evaluating the Enma-Tei’s tea, and occasionally deigning to kick enemies around for Tatsuo’s gathering.

Meanwhile, Maenad skips past, occupied in her own ventures. She’s having fun!

While nice and quiet inns aren’t really her thing, turns out there’s a number of Servants who brought in drinks. Thanks, Lu Bu and Jing Ke. She’s spending her nights with then and days out adventuring in the forest.

So, maybe she brings back some bundles of resources she just happened to stumble upon, it all works out.

“master, for someone like you to hold onto my hand, as death, it’s a little... you shouldn’t, you know.”

Maenad doesn’t mean to intimidate Tatsuo (this time!), but she’s not exactly going to complain that his eyes go huge and his stress levels seem to skyrocket when she boxes him in against the wall. She might have used a little too much force and ended up shaking the wall a bit when she slapped her hand near Tatsuo’s face to keep him from escaping, but oh well!

“Hey there, Master.” It’s like she can watch his hair turning grey out of stress. Hilarious. “Y’know, with you being in and out all the time, I’ve been feeling pretty bored. Why don’t you drink with me more? Let’s go to a singularity and party some. You wouldn’t leave me to rot in these halls forever, would ya?” By ‘party’ she does mean ‘perform acts of violence’, but that much should be expected. “Come on, don’t let me down.” The hand not pinning Tatsuo into the corner has unconsciously started tapping the bat strung to her side against her leg. It’s not intended as a threat, but it could very well be read as a subconscious one. She’s just antsy.
