yeah! he agrees. fei du runs his thumb lightly over the phone screen, frowning down at it. ] Cutting off communication avenues to ensure it's likely a one on one event. At some point tonight - maybe even tomorrow - our numbers will likely have gone down.
[ hmmmmmmmmmm. Not Great. he glances up, finally, tapping his thumb against the screen but otherwise putting his full attention on d. ]
[ is he going through it? fei du is very calm, actually, though he keeps up that absent tap motion. ]
I agree with you. [ so, there's that. ] As a species, do humans resist temptation all that well? In the end, so many of us reach out for the cheese on the platter.
[ he makes a soft noise after a moment, thoughtful. ]
I don't think we'll know much more until things unlock. And I guess we'll go through the process of a 'trial', too. Whatever that ends up looking like.
anyway. he will take the seat offered with a smile, sliding into it easily and stretching out his legs to settle in place. it's touch week which means he bumps his ankle lightly against d's. unfortunate. ]
I don't mind spending more time in your company, D. [ a pause, and then fei du leans forward and props his chin in his hand. he looks a bit like a mischievous cat, not too unlike lord luo yiguo. very playfully: ] Are you still unhappy with me for my earlier transgression?
[He understands this deeply actually........ Sometimes, you know a police dog.
He keeps his hands wrapped around his cup, unflinching when Fei Du leans inward. He pushes the leg back with his slipper-shoed foot. He has seen this sort of look many a time on many a cat.]
Which one?
[He's teasing.]
You mean T-chan, or...? [Brows raise.] I suppose I ought to forgive you since neither of us knows if the other will even be here in the morning. I would hate to regret...
I'm sure I've committed many crimes accidentally. [ but he puts his hand to his chest and dips his head. ] But never one on purpose. As for T-chan, I was a bit, ah. Addled. So, I'll humbly apologize to him, too.
Here's to going off to potential death with no regrets. [ not that he has a cup or anything but he raises an imaginary glass anyway. also d may find he gets very lightly static shocked when he pulls his foot back. like when you touch a doorknob. fei du's teasing little cat smile does not go away with that, either. wehe ] And to new companions.
[WHY THIS. He visibly jumps slightly when he's shocked and tries not to spill his cup. Even if he didn't know what that was, the mischievously feline expression would say all he needed to know.
He gives Fei Du an exasperated look! Rather than raise his cup, he slides it across the table in front of Fei Du.]
Here's to a man who will dig up trouble even while being neck-deep in it.
[ he winks at that, clearly pleased with this exasperated look, and cheerfully takes the teacup, lifting it up one more time. uwu ]
Cheers. [ and... well, he doesn't take an actual drink of it but listen, it just has to look like it, then slides it back across to D. ] Where is T-chan, anyhow? I hope he and Comrade Yiguo aren't in a territory war over the stuffed sharks.

Yes, I remember. I had been thinking... [About that actually. He peers up at Fei Du, expression concerned.] It would make sense...
To give those willing to doing the erasing a playing field.

What do you think? Surprising?
no subject
...Not particularly, if I'm being honest with you, Mr. Fei. I think the surprise will be finding out who is gone and who had the nerve to do it.

I'm curious to see who cracked, first.

He does not respond to this immediately; his lashes lower a little over his mismatched eyes. Then he finally looks again.]
I can assure you, humans do not do well with resisting temptation.

It's like Fei Du thinks his tea is poisoned, damn. When he gets it back, he lifts it to take a sip.]
He is here somewhere. [Hopefully not eating Yiguo (no).] I sent him to see if he could find any other way out, but I doubt he has had great luck.
