If I found it within my interest to hurt people, I would appreciate your faith that I could manage to do so in such a comprehensive manner that my temporary warden has to be demoted.
When was the last time someone was blamed so completely?
Unlike whoever let your draw the whole ship into a cycle of nightmares?
[That had been a lot of fun.]
Yes, I know that. But you could get a deal from the Admiral without truly bothering to do all this. [Dragging Armand into a 'conversation' he doesn't want to have.]
[He stands to go fetch a book - well, multiple books because his speed reading tends to be automatic so they work out to basically one. He grabs a few more biographies, a book on electromagnetic radiation and a collection of Aristophanes plays in the original Greek.]
Honestly, he could completely ignore her presence even if he didn't have something else to do. He's pretty good at just staring at a wall without having to take in any of his surroundings. But books are more entertaining.]
[Armand doesn't respond to the touch, but he obligingly follows her words.
He brings her to his cabin, which he does use even now that he considers Gojyo's cabin 'his' as well. It can be useful to have have a room he can use for various activities.
He keeps it aired out, though there's a tang of blood - even if it's impressively little considering how much blood has been shed there. He doesn't have such a thing as a chair, unless you want to sit on one of the gently rising steps, but he has a bed that serves admirably.]
[She hasn't hit 'annoying', but the idea is enough to summon a flicker of distaste at the very idea. The Admiral is the Admiral, and there's no power there. Besides, if he wanted a different type of blood it's not as if it would be difficult.
But it's only a moment before he settles on the collection of plays to start.]
[Armand doesn't seem to pay her any attention, and for once appearances are accurate.
He knows how to ignore someone's existence when there's no other way to get rid of them, and so he simple locks her presence away where it doesn't matter.]
[Armand doesn't bother to respond or even acknowledge her actions or her words. She can do whatever she likes. He doesn't have to spend mental energy on it.]

I think the last one was Vash.

Why do you wish to be a warden?
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-21 06:57 pm (UTC)I'm watching you like a hawk.
[She huffed.]
Because I'm selfish, that's why. It shouldn't surprise you.

Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-21 09:15 pm (UTC)[She raised her eyebrows.]
But yeah, you might be mine. So, you and me, for the month.
It'll be rough buddy.
Re: After Pairing Annoucement

If you've decided to dedicate your month to being annoying, I cannot stop you.
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-22 04:50 am (UTC)[She chuckled a little.]
But yes. That's the plan. I'm very good at the annoying part.
Enjoy!
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-22 05:08 am (UTC)[He finds a lot of people very annoying! But he wouldn't say that he's easily annoyed, exactly.]
I hope I won't interrupt your plans by getting another book.
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-22 05:38 am (UTC)In fact- if you want to go back to your place, I can grab a book too, and we can read together.

Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-22 07:01 pm (UTC)[She fetched a few books- some of them were medical texts, but there was some poetry, a cozy mystery, and a book on basic filmography.
And when she came back, she said,]
I would like it if we had a reading hour at your place while we're paired.
We can have it at my cabin too. We'll see about the entertainment system.

Re: After Pairing Annoucement

Come on, your place.

Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-24 09:23 pm (UTC)Since there's no chairs she goes over to the bed, and sets the books down.]
By the way- how are you for blood?
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-24 09:27 pm (UTC)[It's not very appealing, which goes towards Armand's theory of the psychic element to feeding, but it keeps him full.]
Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-24 10:30 pm (UTC)[She hops onto the bed, and looks to what book to read first.]
No conjured blood from me then, if you don't want it.

Re: After Pairing Annoucement
Date: 2026-02-25 07:40 pm (UTC)[A casual check in before she settles in, cracking open a medical text book to read.
If Armand doesn't ask anything, do anything, she'll just settle down to read for am hour or so, without being....hopefully annoying.]
