He will. He did a good job: I asked for something a bit complex, and I was impressed at how well he recreated it. I've a small container of them back at the dorm that I brought back for the others to try.
[ and you! he guesses. probably. (yes.)
the nudge is accepted with a small smile - he leans over curiously to look. sour alcohol...? ]
Sour...? That doesn't sound that good. Something with lemons..?
[ If you share, they might reconsider leaving you on read during the week!
They do pause for a moment because this doesn't doesn't feel like their normal exchange. Hmm. ]
Something with lemons would be a start. Wouldn't it be funny to add in actual lemons to it to make it really sour? [ They will pick up some sour lemon. ]
An almond cake. They're fairly common fare, back in the Cathedral - the sister clerics bake them often. Nothing makes countless hours of memorization of scripture go down sweeter.
[ and oh has temenos had to memorize too many hours of scripture. he does have a bit of a sweet tooth. ]
Hmmm. I know you wouldn't pick on Yae. Kogitsunemaru, either. You're only ever so intent on pulling mine and Axel's proverbial pigtails, so, I assume this must be for him? [ mr detective out here. he sounds amused, though. ] You'll sully his trust.
[ They do grin for a moment and hold up a finger. ]
You're right there, Mr. Detective. I'm sure Axel will see it as something of a challenge. [ They will put the bottle in Temenos' basket since he's there. Then they'll bring their hand up to touch Temenos' forehead. Are you feeling normal? ]
Ask nicely, and I'll just share you a piece. Dohter would frown upon me, were I to be so greedy.
[ he's laughing, though, so, clearly he's just bsing.
but! he takes the bottle, and, probably to rabbit's delight, he does react to the forehead touch: a startled blink, confused, and then a little frown. ]
[ They can get back to feeding Rabbit in a moment. They are checking to see if he's warm at all or normal. ]
You haven't been giving me the usual amount of cheek, dear. [ Well...] It has been quite the day. [ Looping their arm with his to lead him to the front. ]
I'm feeling quite tired myself. Maybe we should check out soon and find a place to sit for a bit.
You want me to bully you, now? My, how fickle. [ light and a little teasing, but he bats the hand away, pulling back.
but, not too far - they can take his arm, and he adjusts the basket and allows himself to be led. really, temenos is fine, but, rabbit's right. it's been a long day. ]
Can your blame your generous leader for being worried when someone under them isn't behaving normally?
[ Temenos acquired. Rabbit will just pay for the stuff to make the process go faster. ]
I might have to borrow your shoulder again. Do you want to find a bench or should we head back? [ They'll make it about them being tired and not having a concern for Temenos. ]
temenos makes his way to the little kitchen area of the rabbit dorm once they're in, and after a moment, digs around to find a little tupperware, inside of which is asmall little cake! he'll fetch a knife and a plate to cut off two small slices for them both, keeping himself busy with that.
he makes his way over to wherever rabbit settles, and sets the slice of cake down in front of them with a flourish that feels like, just slightly sarcastic. ]
While he does that, they will add the newest bottle to the bar. They decide to park themselves on the big couch. Once he sets down the cake, they will clap like it's a performance. ]
It does look pretty good. [ Patting the spot beside them. Come on, get cozy ]
I do wonder if you'll be saying that after tomorrow.
[ Back to planning on leaving him on read it is. Taking a bite of the cake. Oh! ] This is pretty good! [ Thinking for a moment as they take another bite. ]
Only a touch? I don't know if you could have squeezed your staff even harder, dear. [ They will offer a bite to him. ] Are you two close?
[ there's a soft chuckle, and he sits back a little, leaving the cake for now. ]
Is that what this is about? [ gods. it's like standing with castti all over again. next thing he knows, rabbit will be offering him medicine. ] Now, this is a lecture I've heard before.
And you're the only one who's brought such a thing into my purview, so, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
[ he's not exactly an emotional person. one swear, the brief tightening of his hands - it goes to show that rabbit is very observant, and perhaps because they're similar. temenos is not one for outbursts or despair. not one for grief, either. ]
I'm quite used to death, solving murders, even executions - I performed one last week myself. Nothing about this is so new to me.
[ except for the part where it is, but, maybe that's just a learning curve. ]
[ They seem to consider something a moment before giving in and scooting closer. Just enough to feel is warmth without actually touching him. They will then continue to keep their gaze away so he can make whatever expression he wants with some measure of privacy. ]
And yet, you are still touched by the people and the events here. That kind of stuff does have a habit of sneaking up on you. [ Surprise, a whole attachment to something you didn't think you would be. ]
no subject
[ Time to add Hung to their might feed you out of pity list.
They will bump his arm lightly with their own and let him check it out. ]
One of your fellow rabbits seems to want to try a little bit of everything. Trying to find something sour they might like.

[ please. tiger really gave him a very convenient piece of ammunition, here, didn't they? lucky.
but, temenos sighs, lightly, pretending to be put upon. taking care of this lost, wayward little rabbit..poor dear.... ]
Let's head back. That cake awaits.
no subject
[ Don't you start.
They'll play along for now. He should be grateful he gets to spend time with them! ]
I do look forward to it. [ Feed the Rabbit! Heading back to the dorm like an old batman scene change. ]
no subject
but off they go! batman scene change!!

no subject
anyway. he will come and sit, but not right next to them, passing over the cake plate as he settles down. leave room for aelfric. ]
If you've got worries to confess, you may well confess them...
no subject
They will take the plate and watch him for a moment or two. ]
I could say the same thing to you. Are you worn out from taking care of your flock?
no subject
[ there's a smile on his face as he says it, passing them a fork. ]
no subject
That was then and this is now. Besides, you didn't seem to be missing me surrounded by your team.
[ Taking the fork and cutting a piece for themselves. ]
no subject
[ saccharine and sweet in the delivery, just a little sarcastic. ]
I really am fine. I was a touch worried for Nimona: that situation is quite difficult to be in.

no subject
he doesn't quite hesitate when they offer him a bite, but, after a moment, temenos will take it. momf.
it gives him the chance to not say anything for a moment, as he considers how to answer the question. ]
I suppose you could say that, yes. Is it wrong for a shepherd to care for his flock?
no subject
They will get themselves another bite after he's done. ]
Nothing wrong about it so long as the shepherd also takes the time to care for themselves.
no subject
Is that what this is about? [ gods. it's like standing with castti all over again. next thing he knows, rabbit will be offering him medicine. ] Now, this is a lecture I've heard before.
no subject
While it wasn't chosen by any of us, you are one of mine. It wouldn't look good if you didn't take care of yourself.
