[ It's right to hold off. Olivert's death was still stinging, on top of everything else. ]
Mm, alright. And that's right, I did happen to remember you drew all over my face...
[ He'll get a little pout, but it'll go away, as he closed his eyes for a bit, the warmth of someone else making him sleepy a bit before he shook his head, opening his eyes, and began to sip at the honey-spiced vodka. ]
[ Careful you'll make him lean off to the side like that, Dazai. ]
Not often, but I'd say from time to time. Your Highness loved to play for everyone, though. If he had the chance to play for everyone here, he'd go crazy about it, if you know what I mean.
...Yeah, it'd be nice. In a way his memory lives on by talking about him.
Though, the dead did seem to be able to communicate with us somehow.
[ So that's...something. ]
I don't know if you knew this, but he's a Prince from my world. Specifically a prince from the country I came from - Erebonia.
He's not in line to the throne, though, due to him being not born to the current Queen. He never cared much about that as far as I heard, and he's always done his best. He also was a fan of "love" triumphs over "hate".
He fought very hard in his own way to make sure that our country wouldn't be continuously at the mercy of a certain man. And if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be who I was today, I think.
[ Rean and Ango had been busy talking about Dazai and Ango's job too much so noooope. ]
...You've really got it in one, though. Your Highness was the type of person to make the mood in no matter what situation he was in. Usually that'd mean him being jovial, but he could get serious when it was important.
[ Dazai plz...but really it was such a shame a bright star had gone out. Rean was sure that they needed people like that now more than ever.
To be quite frank, he was concerned, but there were a lot of those to be had, considering. ]
He does it back- [ There's a pause and then he remembers. Spy. ] He used to do it when he was part of the Mafia. Some habits stay with a person even years later.
[ It's still something that he isn't sure he wants to fully touch either, but this is not the time or place to explore what a mess his life is and going to be. ]
Did he fight along side you?
[ Maybe... he should stick closer to Rean on Thursday and Friday mornings ]
[ Because Rean's interested in knowing more bout u Dazai. ]
...That makes sense. Really, I do understand that.
It can be hard for me to fix something to eat if I'm not doing it for another person, for example.
[ So that's why he's actually been grateful Dazai had been so eager to come to him for food. It was funny how things worked, really. ]
Not very often. But, when he did, he was quite a force to behold in battle. I imagine that if Shin or Sirius hadn't gotten him so drunk, he'd have definitely had a hard time. Despite Olivier's appearance, he was not to be underestimated.
Yeah, it really is. I've told Ango that I appreciate you being around a lot.
[ Rean will take a drink of his vodka—even if he had been mad at Dazai not too long ago, he was glad they had made up. It made it easier for him to say things like this and have no regrets. ]
He would. Even if he's not fighting, he'd be able to keep their spirits up.
[ He considered Twilight some weird interdimensional BS that he's tabling understanding until they receive more explanations about it. ]
[ There's a moment where his eyes widen, and then he'll close his eyes as he leans back ]
Ah, that explains.
[ Ango has been bringing Rean up. He can figure out what Ango is doing, but not why he thinks something could even start.
Also there's a joke one can make about spirits keeping spirits up or being inspirited. ]
Elliot will have someone he can have fun with. That's good.
[ He almost wants to touch that cut on his cheek again, but one hand is on alcohol and the other is behind Rean and he doesn't intend on letting either go at the moment. ]
Did I tell you that he threw a knife at me on accident?
[ Rean was kind of...curious about the question? He hadn't been quite aware that Ango was bringing him up to Dazai for obvious reasons (not being present for the conversation, of course.)
And dear Aidios, Dazai, glad to see you still have your mind in the gutter... ]
at the same time, man is drawn to death. Death is endlessly consumed by men in cities and in literature. It is a singular event in one's life that none may reverse. That is what I desire.

There's a chair too for an option, and I'd say I would have no preference, but I definitely don't want you to sit on the floor.
[ You've been in his room for so many times, Dazai, and helped him so much. He could at least try to return the favor in some way. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 01:52 am (UTC)[ He'll just sit on the edge of the bed then and nod for Rean to sit as well. ]
Come on, let's get you comfortable.
[ He'll wait until after Rean is sitting before handing him his bottle. That's right, he gets the whole bottle. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 01:58 am (UTC)[ Embarrassment heated his cheeks. He was so bloody damned embarrassed, but he was overtired, and he'll immediately join the other on the bed.
Then he'll take the bottle, and... ]
Wait, are we just drinking straight from the bottle again?
[ He figured he should've noticed if there were glass cups or no but once again he wasn't in tip top form. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 02:08 am (UTC)We'll use glasses next time. Tonight is drinking a whole bottle kind of night.
[ He'll just put an arm across Rean's shoulders casually. ]
Don't worry, I won't take advantage of it this time.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 02:54 am (UTC)Mm, alright. And that's right, I did happen to remember you drew all over my face...
[ He'll get a little pout, but it'll go away, as he closed his eyes for a bit, the warmth of someone else making him sleepy a bit before he shook his head, opening his eyes, and began to sip at the honey-spiced vodka. ]

Date: 2020-01-26 03:05 am (UTC)[ Important distinction. ]
It's the national drink of Poland.
[ Leaning into him a little to help make him sleepy. ]
Did Olivert play for you often?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 03:14 am (UTC)[ Distinctions totally don't matter. ]

no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 03:22 am (UTC)He'll be careful not to lean into him too much then. Taking a drink of the vodka. It's not the smooth stuff, so it burns but it's a welcomed burn. ]
It's call Krupnik.
[ Being quiet for a moment to listen a bit to the music from the jar. ]
I could imagine. Do you want to talk about him?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-26 04:01 am (UTC)Rean takes another sip of the vodka. ]

Date: 2020-01-26 04:09 am (UTC)[ Did Ango ever share that with Rean? ]
Sounds like he's a lot more than meets the eye. Something of a mood maker, then?
[ Someone who livens it up or keeps looking at the bright side, huh?
He can't imagine that, even with someone being like that being there beside him. ]

Date: 2020-01-26 07:40 am (UTC)It's good that I'm around then.
[ Taking another drink of his vodka and looking at Rean to do the same. ]
His profile mentioned marksmanship. He'll be a great help over in twilight.
[ Whatever that is. Whatever that even means. ]

Hopefully he can—
2/2
Date: 2020-01-27 01:35 am (UTC)[ It's been weeks since Elliot was alive but. It was still worthy of a little surprised reaction/freakout.
By this time he's so comfortable in his position that he'd notice if the other stopped touching him, so he didn't mind, really. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-27 01:41 am (UTC)[ This is probably going to territory neither of them want to touch here or at least right after everything that just happened.
So instead, he'll use the new topic to keep Rean distracted. Tilting his right side of his head towards him. ]
Elliot was throwing knives as a demonstration against Lady. He wound up cutting me on the cheek. It's under my bandages if you want to see~
[ You know, the bandages also covering an eye ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-27 03:50 am (UTC)[ Yeah, pretty much. Though, Rean will go along with the new topic easily. ]
I'd like to check on it, though if it wasn't a big cut, but still needed healing it's probably for the best it stayed wrapped, considering everything.
[ He wanted to make sure Dazai didn't get inconvenienced by his admittedly bubble of curiosity here. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-27 04:25 am (UTC)[ He can't resist that much. ]
It's healing. You can take it off if you want.
[ Does he want to see if there's another eye there? ]
