[ There will be a clicking sound coming from Rean's door knob, and a moment later his door swings open. There's Dazai, giving a grin. ]
Oh, you're here?
[ He makes an obviously fake expression of surprise. Putting away the two bobby pins he acquired from the opera house, as he walks in and closes the door behind him. Yeah, he's inviting himself in. ]
[ There's a pause as he sees that sadness there. He knows he saw it in the trial, but it's not an emotion he's acquainted with. And just like that, the hesitation is gone as quickly as it was there. He locks the door again as he gives a wave of his hand. ]
Just keeping my skills sharp. Don't worry, I haven't been doing this to others.
[ The exasperation cleared because who cared if it was just him. He's not anyone important.
Okay, that's definitely not true back home but Rean was upsetti and having a hard time, give him a break. ]
If you're going to be staying here for awhile, you can take a seat if you'd like. Next time I guess I could even see about making you a little something.
[ That offer at the end is exactly why he pulls this on Rean. Dazai will walk over and sit down on the bottom bunk. Rolling up the sleeves of his coat to his elbows. ]
It would be pretty bad to advertise what I can do with this group.
[ Leaning back, as he gives a grin that doesn't meet his eyes. ]
[ And another reason why Rean would keep it to himself.
Though, Dazai's next words caused Rean to flinch in surprise, and swallow thickly. He will probably see the other's face change, looking as if he were more sorrowful than before. Even if that wasn't quite it either.
You wear your emotions on your face. You might want to work on that.
[ There's a pause, before he lifts his hand up slowly to give him a light pat on his shoulder. His life is full of death and people disappointing you or making hard choices. Dazai isn't the kind or nurturing type. He's not Oda.
[ It's true, he did wear his heart on his sleeve. So, he's not surprised, but to hear it said from someone else in a place like this caused the embarrassment to show briefly on his face.
He'll relax a bit from the patting, and...there's the offer. ]
...I really wouldn't mind a distraction right now.
[ It didn't hurt if it was for a little bit, right? ]
[ Don't relax around mafia, Rean. What are you thinking?
He does start to pat himself. Patting his jacket and then his shirt under it. Then he'll pull out the fancy bottle of whiskey that their hosts left for them. The really good and smooth stuff. ]
I got just the thing. We can work on training, too.
[ He didn't have any room for any glasses, so they will just have to drink from the neck. Opening the bottle and offering it over to Rean to take a drink first. He'll point to his own face with his other hand. ]
[ He just drinks like that without any pause or second thought. ]
I wonder what it's like to be you? [ It's said quietly for a moment before he quickly says something else to keep Rean from actually responding to those words. ] Right? I think it was their second attempt to make people kill for them~ Giving a taste of what they can give if you do succeed.
[ It's pretty dumb. Just like this whole training thing while letting Rean drink. There's a pause before he makes a silly expression as he wiggles his fingers in Rean's direction. ]
I'll be my charming self and you just have to keep a straight face. If you face betrays what you're feeling, you have to take another drink.
[ How fast is Rean going to get drunk at this rate? ]
[ Good because Rean had nothing good to say about that right now. ]
...I really can't stand them.
[ He'll blink at the other being ridiculous and he frowned, thinking about it. He wasn't exactly in the best mindset to make decisions, but maybe it could help if people weren't able to read his every thought by his expression.
[ ...why is he soft? There's probably a noticable pause, and then he'll take a second drink before handing the bottle back over to Rean. Go ahead and take a drink. ]
That, but maybe less puppy face.
[ Reaching over to push at Rean's eyebrows. These are dangerous weapons for a soft boy what the hell. ]
[ Maybe they should have picked his unimpressed face if he can give it so often.
There's a pause before he moves to lifts up his own bangs. He can see an eyebrow! It's relaxed. There's also the bandage that's part of what is covering his other eye. It looks like it wraps under his head, but his hair is hiding it pretty well. ]
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.

Week 1: Post Trial (I don't have the right icon so you get gremlin face)
Date: 2020-01-11 11:36 pm (UTC)Oh, you're here?
[ He makes an obviously fake expression of surprise. Putting away the two bobby pins he acquired from the opera house, as he walks in and closes the door behind him. Yeah, he's inviting himself in. ]
Oh my god
Date: 2020-01-12 12:46 am (UTC)Here Rean was, sitting on his bed, allowing himself to sit in a pile of sad and angry emotions until the other did his thing.
He received a look that was a combination of sadness, weariness, and exasperation. ]
...What do you think you're doing, Dazai? I hope you haven't been going around doing this to the others.

Maybe because there was that surprise. ]

So it's all he can really do. ]
I can help get your mind off of it for a bit.

no subject
Date: 2020-01-12 05:40 am (UTC)That's a fairly great question. But that being said, drinking a little wasn't a bad idea, as he's done it before with Randy back home and others.
Even by himself sometimes. ]
I wouldn't mind sharing a drink with you, but what kind of training?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-12 06:29 am (UTC)Face training.
[ There is no way this will go wrong ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-12 06:01 pm (UTC)Rean held out the bottle, tipping it so the liquid would pour into his mouth carefully, before he'd stop and hold it out to the other. ]
...This is really good.
[ His type of drink, almost. ]
But, uh how would we go about this training exactly?

Alright. I'm game, let's do this.
[ He's going to get so drunk wasn't he. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-12 11:16 pm (UTC)He decides not to keep this line of conversation going. Focusing on instead on getting the instructor drunk. ]
Alright~ Let's start with this. [ He'll reach over to press on both of Rean's cheeks (the face ones). ]
First, focus on one expression you want others to see the whole time.
1/2
Date: 2020-01-13 03:06 am (UTC)...Riiight when the other pulled that, Rean's face lit up in surprise like
I'm a very serious rper. ]
2/2
Date: 2020-01-13 03:06 am (UTC)[ Already he's so embarrassed. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 03:16 am (UTC)Definitely not that one, unless you want to be teased.
[ Taking the bottle from Rean to get a drink himself. ]
Maybe try smiling?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 03:41 am (UTC)...Like this?
[ It's definitely a 100% Rean-certified smile. Gentle, soft, and full of undeniable warmth. ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 04:03 am (UTC)That, but maybe less puppy face.
[ Reaching over to push at Rean's eyebrows. These are dangerous weapons for a soft boy what the hell. ]
Change this.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 04:49 am (UTC)...A puppy?
[ He lightly taps at the other's hands that're touching his eyebrows, a little playfully at first before pushing them away a bit. ]
Change it how?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 04:56 am (UTC)[ He's pretty sure the others, himself included, are the kicking puppies types. Get better taste in people you hang with, Rean.
Curling a hand under his chin. ]
We could always shave them. [ A beat. ] Just kidding. Try to keep them like mine.
[ Are Dazai's even visible? ]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 05:31 pm (UTC)He'll actually sigh at that description, though he'll give the other an unimpressed look at the joke. ]
What do you mean 'keep it like yours'?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 05:52 pm (UTC)There's a pause before he moves to lifts up his own bangs. He can see an eyebrow! It's relaxed. There's also the bandage that's part of what is covering his other eye. It looks like it wraps under his head, but his hair is hiding it pretty well. ]
Like this. See?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-13 08:00 pm (UTC)After that, he'll give the other a smile. ]
...So, how about this then?
