๑ fourth encounter / eighth step ♚

[lostandfinder]

[Hello, Plane. Sefton and Chivy are both soaked and have managed to misuse their ice accessories... which happens to be why Chivy is bent in two -- his hand is frozen to Sefton's heel.]

Just don't walk too fast, I'll fall over.

[ Sefton happens to be wringing some sort of hat out. The fact that it's right over Chivy's head is entirely coincidental. ]

You'll fall over?

Just... [Chivy takes a breath and actually doesn't continue the argument.] ... be careful.

((OoC: Prickly remains prickly. Standard Sefton disclaimer remains in effect.))

Chivy-kun, Sefton-kun. [He tries not to be too pleased with finally having Sefton's name.] That's an interesting position. I hope it isn't an American cultural habit Tamaki will want to practice at the club.

[polarization]

[ Sefton doesn't necessarily hide his scowl at Kyouya using his name. He does, however, try to hide hide his jump. To help with that, he sets the bucket hat back on his head and gives his best unamused look. (It isn't hard.) ]

S' not.

[lostandfinder]

[Chivy tilts his head up so that he can actually look at Kyouya]

I don't recommend it, really. I mean.. we didn't do it on purpose.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Having given so many unamused expressions to Tamaki, Kyouya is now immune]

Ah, then what is it meant to be?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya tries to lean down more to accommodate Chivy's angle]

It doesn't seem very comfortable. Can I help you get out of it?

[polarization]

His fault. [ A nod in Chivy's direction. ]

[lostandfinder]

We were going to the hot springs, I think. Unless you've got something that could melt the ice?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

That doesn't explain what it is, Sefton-kun.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

I have a kettle of hot water in the music room. It's within arm's reach at home.

[polarization]

Would you stop that?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[it's a shame that this face can't do 'innocent'] I'm sorry, Sefton-kun; stop what?

[polarization]

[ It probably wouldn't have worked even if it could. Sefton's scowl returns. ] Th—stop doing that!

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

You'll have to explain what you mean. [It's the little pleasures.]

[polarization]

Didn't think you were that dumb. [ Excuse him, he's much more irritable than usual right now, for a variety of reasons. ]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[Kuhn tries to keep quiet and just watch, but his grinning becomes snickering, and then his snickering becomes full-out laughter. He shakes his head.]

That's the most amusing thing I've seen in a while. What the heck happened?

[polarization]

[ fffffffffft is it not amusing at all what are you talking about ]

Ask him.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya knows his BFF very well]

How fascinating. This must be a new form or worship, or a trend completely unique to the American commoner tradition! I will document this in my Commoner's Practices Research Field Guide!

[he drops and comes back with a camera, and begins taking pictures]

[polarization]

[ Sefton's stare morphs into an almost-glare. ]

Stop that.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[still taking pictures, but he stops]

Please, don't pay attention to me. I know it's a difficult thing to ask, I am extremely hard to ignore, but for now I'm just an observer. Continue with this fascinating practice as if I weren't here.

[and he's back to taking pictures again]

[polarization]

Would you stop?

[ He's not really in the mood for this right now. The hat goes back on his head, after briefly considering just throwing it at Tamaki. ] S' not some sort of dumb ritual or tradition or whatever.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[he puts the camera aside finally, staring at them in confusion]

Then why are you doing all this?

[polarization]

'Cause he did something dumb.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

Then please forgive me for misleading you. [The smirk on his face says that he's only holding back on saying Sefton's name because it would sound forced.]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[laughs] That sounds kind of harsh. What happened?

[polarization]

Tried to wake me up. In the rain. [ You know, most people would appreciate that, Sefton... ]
