[ There's a rustling sound of feathers first, that is followed up by a loud call from a particular raven. The flight is unsteady but at least when Dokja lands he doesn't go crashing into his face.
In that same moment does the raven lower and smoothly shifts into a fox with an easier landing and barks to their companions. ]
I was wondering where you went off to. [ Hello he is here in his demon glory!! Those familiar horns protruding atop his head and those black shiny feathered wings stretching out to their full wingspan to shake loose some feathers. ] Brooding because you got voted?
[ When Jin is sure their connection isn't in jeopardy, she's bounding right on over to lightly flop right into the other daemon. ]
Of course. I'll have to see what upgrading it is like for next week but... [ Well... he won't worry about it for now. Sorry Baraqiel-nim. Instead, he'll move to sit right next to Joonghyuk and there's not really any pause as he leans to press their sides together carefully. He gently maneuvers his wings to fold against his back but the one closest to Joonghyuk kinda.. lingers out a bit. ]
Panicking won't do them any good if it continues to go this way. Someday, they might just send an innocent person to execution.
Most likely your strength will be stronger. [ Tilts his head, thinking some more. ] And you'll be able to fly longer. I can't imagine they'd give you leisurely flight so easily.
[ Watchers stingy—just kidding, Watchers fair. I rolled low, so he isn't cuddly today, either, but he does notice the wing just hovering over here. For now, he doesn't comment on it. ]
Does it matter if it's innocent or guilty? They've proven such to us.
Two times a week, five minutes long for the transformation. It might just focus on increasing that. [ A soft sigh. ] No, I wasn't exactly able to fly around like what I'm used to. It's more that I have some flight but. It's better than none.
[ I'm so mad. I rolled a 20, Hei. You're leaving me all alone with this. That's basically potential kissing territory. Well, Joonghyuk hasn't mentioned him sitting close, so he's feeling a little braver? ]
Probably not. But you have to consider the kind of people we have 'still alive.' It would eat at them to send someone to their execution if they knew they didn't do any killing that night. [ Anyways, that wing will curve around Joonghyuk like a blanket against his back. Snuggly. ]
[ THE DICE DON'T LIE, ZETSU. Joonghyuk is still focused on the trial, curious... Considering that the boot was meant to frame the talls, he can only wonder which clever little rat almost got him voted off. ]
It is better. Your transformation is also rather special, so if anyone were to go after you or you them, then I would be able to recognize it.
[ From Feathers. But, yeah, he isn't too perceptive by the proximity. It's cuddle week, so he unfortunately thinks it's nice, but mind is on the trial. On the Money. The Dead Letters. ]
Someone will always die on Sunday is my point. [ But then wingy. Joonghyuk's head instantly snaps to Dokja. ] ... Did you use your transformation for this purpose before?
Other than Baraqiel, you're the only one that knows about it. [ i should've rolled a 1. yjh doesn't deserve. this is a one-sided cuddling. but yes, it is special. ]
[ A hum. ] I did talk with Xie Lian yesterday, concerning our stories. He was worried when he saw what happened when you came back. If we happen to become targets then he knows what to look out for.
[ Of course it's the same if they are on the other side of things as well. Their stories probably won't be able to share too much but hints could be possible. ]
Hm? For what purpose?
[ He's not too sure what he means. But also, it's starting to get colder so his wings shudder a little and huddle closer for more warmth. Trying to get cozy. ]
[ Skips over all of that even though he thinks it is convenient that their blood just speaks stories. However, what they convey at whatever time isn’t to their control. It might not be helpful at all.
[ i can't believe yjh bypassed everything just to talk about this. ]
No. I haven't.
[ You seriously think he sluts up? Kim Dokja? Slutting up? The affection need is high today (stupid 20), so he's tilting his head to nuzzle against the man's shoulder. ]
[ Dokja is allowed? Niah’s tail wags a little more, but he stays where he is. Quietly, he rests his head on top of Dokja’s, but doesn’t do more than that. It is warm like this… Cozy.
Hm. ]
Is that so. We can move to one of the houses instead.
[ It’s not like they live in house 2; sucks to be those people. ]
[ Jin is a purring, happy fox all curled up against Niah. The weight encourages more, leaning into that touch with arms encircling gently around Joonghyuk's waist after a moment. Just so he can bury a bit closer.
He does consider those words though. ] ..Maybe later. I sorta wanna stay here for a bit longer.
[ Like this? And his wings are definitely blanketing them more clearly now. ]
[ Usually, Joonghyuk would pull out his sword because Dokja is touching him strangely? But, again, cuddle week is nice... And it isn't like Joonghyuk isn't aware of their mutual feelings. At least, he thinks it's mutual.
It may be allowed for now, even though he also has a feeling Dokja knows nothing. ]
You're going to be filled with shame and embarrassment when this week is over, Kim Dokja.
Then that's something for future Kim Dokja to worry about.
[ A HUFF. But also please, they're just having a nice cuddle time don't point it out to him. He'd probably shuffle or even run away IF I DIDN'T ROLL A GOD DAMN 20. :ratshake: ]
Anyways, you'll be the same.
[ How many people has Joonghyuk cuddled with he wonders? Rameel was obvious sign enough during party games to show that the expectations bar is at a low already. For some reason, he finds himself pressing a bit closer at that thought. Frown. ]
[ Technically twice now? His arms loosen from around Joonghyuk, hands raising to once again cup that face and bring them close. At least enough to settle their foreheads together. He looks to that scar again.
He tries to not frown when he feels his heart squeeze. It really wasn't like this with Baraqiel. gay thoughts ]
[ Huh...... He has never seen Dokja like this? With anyone? He has seen the man drink with Yoo Sangah and have pleasantries. It was enough for him to assume they might have been involved with each other, but nothing so flirtatious and risky like this?
It kind of pisses him off, so he gives him a headbutt. ]
[ He's not being flirtatious?! He's trying something here! He winces hard at the headbutt, eyes a little teary at the sting with his wings puffing out. ]
[ Isn't that what makes this insufferable man Kim Dokja? He opens his mouth, closes it, opens it again and- really, it's like a fish trying to remember to breathe. But he keeps his gaze focused on him till.
Quietly, ] That... I want to kiss you.
[ Again. At least this time he isn't just doing it, despite how the strong the urges for touch are today. It's a little overwhelming. He's as puzzled by this feeling as he has been for the past few days. Feeling as if suddenly he'll come to understand. Though he isn't completely sure of that just yet.
I already kissed Baraqiel. [ Brows furrow, lips pressing together as if he just remembered something. ] ..It wasn't--
[ The same. Slowly looks to the side... his wings tucking against his back. Has it been five minutes yet? If so, goodbye wings and horns. Poof they're gone. ]
[ This isn't going anywhere!! His hands are loosening against that face, dropping back onto his own lap. With his wings gone he's more aware of the cold and shivers. ]
I thought I needed physical contact to receive my ability. [ ... ] My body just reacted. I wasn't thinking.
[ Huff. ] Least they were a better kisser than the last. [ He can bully too. ]

I can easily put such childish emotions aside, especially because this effect is out of my control.
Unlike you, a man who overthinks more than he should. Also a man who runs after kissing someone.
no subject
That's what you think. [ Don't tempt him to squeeze tighter. Though that last comment gets a twitch of his lips and he's. Thinking. ] I don't run.
[ AHEM. Lifts his head a little, bumping his against Joonghyuk's just lightly with a focused stare. ] I can prove it. [ !! ]

Don't do something you'll regret.
