[skinstitch]

guess i'll wear something open.

[loosestrifes]

You should do that anyway.

At least around me, anyway.

[skinstitch]

yeah? and why's that?

[loosestrifes]

Isn't that obvious? Because you're nice to look at. And I happen to like looking.

[skinstitch]

pretty sure i'm supposed to be disgusting to look at, little prince.

[loosestrifes]

Well, I'm supposed to be many things I'm not.

Don't waste your time with anyone who says as much. I mean it, you know.

[skinstitch]

and if someone says nothing at all, either way?

[loosestrifes]

That might as well be an insult.

Hasn't anyone else complimented you on your appearance?

[skinstitch]

sure, i guess. bits and pieces.

[loosestrifes]

That sounds more like a no, doesn't it. Aside from me? I don't really shy away from saying what I think.

What about ( your little boyfriend, he types and then erases to fix ) Kajiyama?

[skinstitch]

what about him? you worried he likes the same bits and pieces?

[loosestrifes]

I like more than bits and pieces. I think I've made that clear. I like all of you.

[skinstitch]

then why ask about him?

[loosestrifes]

( a very long pause of him trying not to get too angry when he's already dealing with his body on the verge of collapse )

What do you mean, why... I'm going to go back to a bad mood like this. His painting harassed me enough.

[skinstitch]

his painting harassed you?

whatever, we can talk about it later. do you have a place to sleep? you're not gonna get everything back by drinking blood and water.

[loosestrifes]

( Later... later is probably better, when he's not all pouty about it. Right now, Dabi is being nice despite his own annoyance at a situation he warned Esikko about being careful with— so he shouldn't have tried to poke holes in his own jealousy anyway. )

The one assigned to me, I guess. It's a little crowded from my prep but the bed has a clear spot.

I didn't want to bring more trouble to your door, and I don't know how this will end.

[skinstitch]

you can sleep here if you decide you want to. i don't give a shit about this place, or trouble.

[loosestrifes]

What if I can't make it to the elevators?

[skinstitch]

then i guess i have to haul your ass up here.

[loosestrifes]

Can you carry me gently, this time? I actually haven't managed much sleep yet.

But only if you don't get too angry if I overstay my welcome.

[skinstitch]

stay until you feel stronger. i'll rope off one of the guest rooms just for you.

[loosestrifes]

You'll never get rid of me.

But really, I do appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm the one who looks terrible right now, though, so don't commit it to your memory or anything. Don't look too closely.

But I'm not saying not to look at me at all, okay? You know what I mean.

[skinstitch]

yeah, yeah. look but don't look. sure. that makes perfect sense.

[loosestrifes]

It does!

Anyway, it seems like only a few locations are tearing through reality so I suppose things could be worse. The House is rather noisy, but maybe I'll get away with this.

[skinstitch]

if anything worse happens, let me know.
