[He's being gross again, ugh. But if it means he's feeling more like himself despite the aches and pains and injuries, then she'll let it slide for now. She won't hog all of the whipped cream though, and she'll hand over the container of it for him. Just because she likes extra doesn't mean he would want it at all, so she just wanted to be sure here!]

I have more than enough, so I guess I'll keep being soft since you said I was.

[She knows damn well what he meant by that, and the look on her face says that she does, but she's going to mean it in a different way just to really eat at him. Take that!]

[rokubro]

[He's mostly recovered, gosh!! So what if official doctor's orders still has him "bedrest" for another day or two he's fine, it's fiiine. It's just a testament to his hearty constitution and vitality.]

I know a few ways on making you softer.

[Just going to continue being gross as he adds that whip cream to his ice cream and drizzles some of that rum.]

[mooglebow]

[I can't believe this was the real tag lmao

He gets a look when he says he knows things. What exactly does he know??]

What do you mean by that, Rokurou? Or is that another "wait until Helisium" thing too?

[rokubro]

[Believe it.

And wouldn't she like to know~]

Hm... Might have to wait until some time after Helisium.

[And another smirk before he just takes a spoonful of his ice cream, still grinning like the true daemon that he is.]

Course by your question, makes me wonder what you might be thinking.

[mooglebow]

Until after? Rokurou, what are you even thinking of??
!

[Oh no, it's something real gross, isn't it. It has to be. She's eating her own ice cream and just watching him.]

I'm not going to say anything about it.

[rokubro]

[To that he just laughs. Laughs a lot. And when it actually seems like the colors around him are brightening and actually looking more normal? Yeah, he definitely needed that as a mood booster, even if it may have been at her expense (kind of).]

Then I won't say anything, either.

[Just a bright, cheeky grin before he takes another bite of ice cream.]

[mooglebow]

Ugh, you're the worst.

[She doesn't mean that, that much is obvious in her voice and the smile she's trying to hide with taking a giant bite of ice cream.

...which is a bad idea because oh gods brain freeze! Too much oh gosh--]

[rokubro]

Think the ice cream is currently the worst for you right now.

[Just another amused grin, unable to help the laugh that escapes him because—well it's kind of funny and it's just a brain freeze.]

[mooglebow]

[He gets a smack for that, though it's halfhearted because oh gods it hurts hurry up and pass!!

Once it does and she's not wishing for the sweet release of death to take her from that stupid freeze, she levels a stare on him.]

...I hope you get one worse than the one I got from your own ice cream.

[rokubro]

I don't think I've heard you sound so spiteful. I kind of like it.

[Just another annoying grin as he takes another large chomp of his ice cream, as if taunting her further.]

[mooglebow]

[With how big his bites and chomps of ice cream were, it was only a matter of time. He may be a daemon, but he wasn't immune to terrible brain freezes! As if trying to will one to happen, she's watching him, eyes narrowing.]

Hard not to be when you're laughing at me, Pupperou.

[Yeah, just gonna drop the name here purposefully.]

[rokubro]

What, it's only a brain freeze. [Said with that annoying grin as he continues to push his like with each large spoonful.]

Or does my little Miss Kittyrah need her Pupperou to warm her back up?

[For starting off in a rather crappy mood, he's managed to rebound fairly well.]

[mooglebow]

No, it's too hot for that, even in here.

[HMPH. If he was going to be a jerk, then nope, DENIED.

...even if him being in a better mood was a good thing. NOT LIKE THIS.]

[rokubro]

How can it be too hot when you're ice cr—



[!!!!!!!!!!!

He's making an extremely pained face as he clutches his bowl and hunches over a bit. Did he get a brain freeze??]

[mooglebow]

[...has karma kicked in already? Does he have a brain freeze?!]

I was pretty sure you were going to tell me "daemons don't get brain freezes" but now it looks like you have one. That's karma, you know.

[Just gonna take a nice, not huge bite of ice cream with a smug look on her face. Yep, that's what you get for being mean, Rokurou. Vengeance. Karma. Brain freezes.]

[rokubro]

[DOES HE??????

He actually falls onto his side as he seems to continue to be in agonizing pain, even moaning and groaning as a hand now clutches at his head.]

[mooglebow]

[...was it really that bad? Or was it something else? Or was he just teasing her, trying to get her to worry??? It was one of these things, so she drops most of the pout she had over his original teasing of her, just enough to ask.]

Roku...? What's wrong?

[rokubro]

[There's just a long period of silence...




...Before he just rolls onto his back, opens one eye, and sticks out his tongue.]

Nothing, but I did feel a small, icy tingle on that last scoop.

[...Yeah he faked it.]

[mooglebow]

[...it would be a waste of the rest of her ice cream if she just dumped it on him... and she's not mean enough to dump his all over him. The idea of "accidentally" nudging a bruise comes to mind, but that, too, is too mean for her to do (she would actually Feel Bad if she did that.)

So until she thinks of something, he gets pretty scathing daggers edged into him in the form of a glare, mixed with a whole heck of a lot of being unimpressed with his shenanigans.

BUT WAIT. A moment of idea flashes across her face. There was something in this room that he had wanted. Really wanted. Not her, but...

The Rum.

He was going to find out why it was gone when she takes it, and slowly makes her way over to the sink, maintains eye contact (as best she can with him on the floor,) and tips it enough to where it starts to drizzle out into the drain.

Game on, Rokurou.]

[rokubro]

[Still chuckling a bit as he sits up.]

Okay, so maybe I went a little far... [He starts to say before he notices that...change of expression. And then...


....NO]

....Serah.

[Just. Just an even tone as he watches her take his rum. The rum he's only taken a few sips out of and still had plenty left. The rum that she's now making her way to the sink HE'S STANDING UP NOW.]

Serah, come on!!

[mooglebow]

Hm? Come on what?

[Whoops did a little more splash out than she was expecting? Yes, yes it did. Oh no, that's a travesty, isn't it? She looks over in some surprise that more than just a drizzle splashed on out, but goes back to leveling eye contact with Rokurou.

'A little far' is probably an understatement, but she probably won't dump all of the rum, just... just a little bit of it.

Maybe.]

[rokubro]

[The rum is innocent!!!

He'll just freeze where he is, which is probably a rather comical stance given he has his arm stretched out as if to reach for the bottle of draining rum—]

No—I mean—I'm sorry! I went too far with the joke!

[mooglebow]

[Oh... he apologized quick. She'll just... tip the bottle back so it's only dripping rum now, at least for a few drops. Any that drips down the bottle neck she'll catch with a finger to get so it's no longer wasted, and hands the bottle back to him when she passes him to sit back down with her ice cream.

HMPH.]

If you get a bad brain freeze I won't feel bad for you.

[Just gonna scold him for it that way.]

[rokubro]

[HE WAS GOING TO BEFORE SHE TOOK THE RUM HOSTAGE.

But oh his precious rum. There's just a look of exhausted defeat as he takes it back and sits back down next to her.

...Man. He really does feel kind of bad though.]

Okay, so I just have to get a brain freeze, right?

[He stares at the rest of his ice cream, seems to think about his next course of action for like two seconds, dumps a good bit of rum into his bowl, and just shovels over half of it into his mouth.]

[mooglebow]

[At least it wasn't a huge amount gone! Just a shot glass worth, maybe. That's not that much!!!

His question gets a confused look, but she quickly understands when he starts shoveling the ice cream into his mouth Rokurou what are you doing?!]

Roku-- no, I didn't mean to do that!
