situationship | ASTARION ANCUNÍN

You can't scrabble at the coffin lids ominously if there are no lids.

[ go back to the basement, menace. ]

... So... You're going to sleep on top of the coffin lid.

[ Whatever floats your boat, he doesn't care. ]

The beds are okay, not great. I actually think we lucked out with the coffins.

I would vastly prefer a bed.

[ just. that’s all.

he’s folded his arms but it’s probably fine ]

... Did the coffins hurt you in a past life or something?

[ I forgot it's inky words this week, so one shows on his uniform: "YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT INFINITY UP." ]

[ i also keep forgetting, so we get One Year on his arm that he hasn't noticed. ]

...

[ he just closes his eyes with a huff-- but there's a delay to the actual huff. like a reflex and then a cover up. ]

I don't think it's strange to not want to sleep in a box.

It isn't, but it's just a box. It can't hurt you, for now.

[ Ominously cheery... The One Year has him raise his eyebrows and since he's 18 he has no tact. ]

Got one year left, Asta?

Hm?

[ what. ]

Not as far as I'm aware.

Then what's up with this?

[ Scurries to be beside him and points to his arm. ]

[ stands there like ???? and then looks down at his arm.

and then he just looks-- a lot of things. pissed off? a little lost. and then he's folding his arms. ]

Nothing important.

Seems important to me if you react that way!

[ He leans in to try to peek at the arm again, but stops when Astarion starts hiding it. ]

Buuuuut I'm not going to force you to talk about it or anything. [ hmmm hmmmm ] Is it something you can wipe off?

[ well, he wouldn't have told gojo anyway, surprising no one. but it's appreciated that he doesn't press. ]

Can you wipe off yours?

[ regardless, he does lift his arm to rub at the mark. ]

[ Yes, but he could have been annoying and insistent. ]

Huh—wait. There's one on me?

[ LOOKS AT HIMSELF ]

[ points at finger at where "YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT INFINITY UP." is written. ]

[ Makes a face...

Grabs it and it's just fabric. ]

Rather rude of it, I take it.

Just annoying when I already know my mistake. I don't need magic nagging at me.

I doubt this place cares.

[ "One Year" is twisting with another word, blurring the two of them into something incomprehensible for the moment. ]

Look! Yours is doing something funny.

[ Points at it. He won't be asking, but he will be pointing. ]

[ hrrgggghh.... he glances down at it. ]

Yes I imagine it's doing that on purpose.

This doesn't look like a word.

[ Is it just squiggles. ]

Yes… well. It’s likely between words at the moment.

[ if gojo is squinting hard enough he might be able to make out the word ‘spawn’ twisting into ‘sacrifice’ ]

[ Humming... ]

It looks likkeee "spawcrifice."

You could simply try not reading it.

"Sacrawn."

[ Just purposely doing this now. ]

[ cease, child ]
