21st Death

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

[going outside today will net you one confused member of the Koriel going full out WTF at the weather. it's cold and he can't help but flinch everytime snow falls on him because Dextera has never been in a situation where something cold didn't hurt him. but so far he's deemed it safe to wander around and try and figure out exactly what was going on.

oddly enough, the strange fireflies wandering around the area don't bother him at all. they're pretty but apparently harmless. so far, anyways....]

[ooc: open for kissing shenanigans, planed or unplaned.]

[Note to self: buy the boy a notepad]

That just now? That was a kiss.

...You've never kissed anyone, have you?

[He is in so much trouble]

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head.]

No. What does it mean?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

It usually means that you like the other person.

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

'Like' how? [yeah, you're probably going to have to explain this in a bit more detail.]

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[He's going to need a drink after this]

It's...complicated. Either you care about them, or you feel affectionate towards them. You want to be...closer to them.

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

[a pause, then...]

Close enough to touch, or a different kind of 'close'?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

A little of both.

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

But 'make' means you had to do it, right? [meaning this had no meaning.]

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Babby no ;;]

In this instance, yes...

[Something is gnawing at him just watching Dextera's face. He's not sure what it is yet.]

[he tilts his head again, thinking. there was something that he felt like he should be feeling but it was lost on him and everything he could feel didn't match up to what they usually did. the mute felt like he was back to square one again with understanding this.

Dextera looks up at Felix for a moment before looking back down to write.]

Are you okay?

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[He smiled, sadly]

I don't want you to think I do not care. I just...

I am not sure I'm the person who should be teaching you all this. It's the sort of thing one tends to learn in time.

[twisted-baroque.livejournal.com]

[even if he's not sure if he has the time left to do that, Dextera will smile.]

Okay. Thank you for telling me about this. [a pause.] And the gloves. No one's done that before.

[and that has a meaning behind it: "thank you for caring."]

[The hard part was, he wanted to kiss Dextera again. And more, probably, if he was allowed it.

But he knew that he shouldn't. That he had no right to turning this boy's world upside-down. The fact that he'd been the boy's first kiss was both vaguely disturbing and thrilling in a way that only made him more possessive in ways he wasn't sure he wanted to think about.

It should be Dextera's choice to venture beyond that, even if that meant he was innocent forever.]

Well, someone has to keep an eye on you.

[He smiled, reaching out briefly to ruffle Dextera's hair]

And do go buy some winter clothes. There is going to be a few months of this weather.

[it was hard to turn someone's world upside down when it had already been turned upside down, inside out and stood on it's head. as for his innocence, it'd be around for as long as his curiosity was - or stupidity, if you believed the Archangel.

he looked up when his hair was played with. Dextera isn't sure what to say about the watching comment but he can respond to the other one.]

Okay, I'll go look for some.

[lord-wizard.livejournal.com]

[He smiled] Good boy.
