curiosity doesn't always kill

[don't mind him, he's just tinkering with some odd mixture of some sort in the kitchen, pouring a transparent liquid into a pot and dropping in something that resembles an oversize carrot. with a puff of smoke, the carrot seems to be gone and the contents of the pot have turned white]

...I wonder if it really is a restorative as he said...

[...ladels some of the stuff into a flask, debating what to test it on]

[tinyku flutters over, in his fairy form]

A potion?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[w-was so very focused and fumbles, narrowly managing to catch the flask. seeing that it's his favorite fairy talking, he smiles]

That's what I was told.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[bitch, he better be your only fairy, looool]

Interesting. This place reeks of magic.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[well... only fairy he'd ever want, y'know]

It does?

[can't smell it at all]

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[fuckyeah.]

Not literally...ah, it must just be me sensing it.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Sounds like another talent.

[holds the flask out toward Riku]

I was told it's a good restorative.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

Not a talent, just something that all my kind can do due to exposure to magic.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Then it's just special to my standards.

[sets the flask down]

Have you been well?

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[poof! full sized. Shirtless. :3]

Well enough. You?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[someone short and blond doesn't mind the shirtlessness one bit]

Fairly well. Though lately it's been rather quiet, so I haven't found myself terribly useful.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[:| at you being bored/not feeling useful]

That is no good. May I watch you work?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[just as Riku can't accept being beautiful like crazy, Roxas can't really take being useless]

Of course, if you'd like to.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[:|]

I would.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

What's that?

[someone's crawled out of his hole just to see you!]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[and this fellow's very happy that he did]

It's supposed to be a form of medicine.

[holds the flask out for the other to see]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[looks at it like a fascinated little kid]

Does it make you feel better when you have a cold?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[ponders that for a moment]

All I was told was that it healed, so it might.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[slinks closer, wanting a hug. He could care less about magic healing potions when he could be getting hugs]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[sets the flask aside, half sure he knows what I-want-hugs looks like from the other]

How have you been?

[woop, hug]

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

[giggles, snuggling into the other]

Good! And how are you?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[smiles, giving him the best hugs he can]

I've been fairly well, although I haven't made myself very useful lately.

I'm glad you are alright.

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

You're always useful to me.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[...that thought makes him so happy]

Truly?

[oldblackmariah.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, uh huh.

[smiles happily at him]

Always.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[more hugs for you, sir]

I...I'm glad.

[i-isn't used to being quite that happy, but being of use is so important to him]
