[That earns a laugh, and Jae-Ha reaches with a free hand to pat Slaine's shoulder.]

If you denied Yona dear something like that when she asked for it, I couldn't imagine how she'd react. [He chose the safe option!] There's nothing wrong with it, so long as your intentions are pure. [He squeezes a tiny bit, just to be that big bro level intimidating.]

_{[Slaine can imagine how she'd react. Probably just as upset as she had when he'd told her he couldn't oblige her request to sleep with her. The squeeze to his shoulder has him tensing up, fingers curling around the damp edges of his sweater sleeves.]}

...The only intention I have is to fulfill whatever requests Lady Yona may ask of me.

Oh?

[What a good boy, he's passing every test. Still, Jae-Ha ducks down a little, and now his head is actually under this umbrella, too, to be up in Slaine's space.]

Even if she were to ask for a kiss?

_{[That's because he's a good boy, well versed in the art of self repression. What sort of question is that anyway? Regardless, it makes him feel nervous. Yona had said they were friends and wanted him to be familiar with her...but even if she wasn't his princess, a princess is still a princess.]}

...I would have to respectfully decline her request. A person like me could never entertain the thought of doing such a thing to someone of Lady Yona's upbringing.

_{[Only he totally is now, the little 'what-if' scenario floating around his mind. Thanks for that, I guess.]}

[Oh no... Jae-Ha leans up a little, but moves his hand shortly after to ruffle Slaine's wet hair.]

She's out of everyone's league, so thoughts like that will only have her lonely in the end. [He's just saying.] Anyway, enough about that. She's important to me, so of course I had to make sure you were safe to keep around. I'm glad that someone can stay by her side.

_{[Instinctively he flinches at the hand that settles in his hair, half expecting to feel his scalp being yanked. Instead the soggy strands are tossed about, leaving Slaine to look up at Jae-ha as if he's grown horns. He...wasn't expecting that.

So Yona was important to this man then, somehow. It's not his place to ask how, so he keeps his lips shut, listening instead to what he has to say. Stay by her side? Could he though, realistically?]}

That sort of thing...I don't think about it. _{[Kissing, that is.]} I would rather harm myself than bring harm to her.

_{[Slaine...please find chill.]}

[GEEZ... It's like Kija and Hak combined into one obsessed force, with way too much focus on self harm. Stop. Jae-Ha laughs a little awkwardly at first, considering those words.]

Then continue to be her friend, please. [That's what he comes up with, angling the umbrella a little as the rain worsens so he can try to keep Slaine dry.] You should know that with Yona dear, if you're hurt yourself and you're her friend, you'll only cause her more pain.

I can't visit her too often while she's sick like this, so I'll rely on you to take care of her for now. How's that?

_{[That, at the very least, has Slaine easing up, nodding. It's not like he wasn't going to continue looking after her to the best of his ability. That's one thing he wouldn't stop doing, even if he was threatened to.]}

I'll do my best not to let Lady Yona down, Mr. Jae-ha.

[Mr. Jae-Ha... how polite.]

Haha, good, good.

[He ruffles his hair AGAIN.] Slaine, right? You don't have to be nervous. If you're friends with Yona dear, then we can be friends, as well. Think of me as a big brother. ♥

_{[Why does he keep ruffling his wet hair why is this happening???

That aside, at least this guy seems to approve of him having anything to do with Yona which is...nice. To think of him as a big brother though...he's not really sure how to do that. He hasn't a clue what it's like to have a sibling.

Not sure what to say he simply nods. It's the easy, default response.]}

You're not too talkative, are you?

[But that's fine. He'll stop messing with his hair now, and focus on just holding the umbrella, though he finally shifts to lower it so Slaine can take it himself.]

...I was taught silence is golden.

_{[It's not that Slaine can't be talkative...it's just that being quiet has become an ingrained survival instinct living at Crutheo's landing castle. Old habits die hard, but as he's handed the umbrella he can't help but pipe up for a word of thanks.]}

...Thank you, Mr. Jae-ha, but you're going to be soaked without it, aren't you?

_{[Not that he doesn't look particularly soggy already but, y'know.]}

Anyone who tries to prevent you from speaking is only embracing some ugly part of themselves. You shouldn't pay it much mind.

[That's his opinion, his very strong opinion, and he smiles at the question that follows, reaching a hand up to wring out his ponytail.] I'm already thoroughly soaked from soaring through the sky like this, so there's no use in preventing it any further. I'll find another one later, so you can keep that.

Thank you very much.

_{[The thanks comes out genuine, even if his voice is quiet. It's not like a learned behaviour of keeping his mouth shut can be reversed so easily, but he understands what Jae-ha is trying to get at. Quietly he watches as he wrings his ponytail out, fingers curled around the handle of the umbrella.]}

...What do you mean by soar?

Oh, you haven't seen me?

[He's perking up because he loves explaining this part.] I can leap and soar through the skies. It's just like it sounds!

_{[Jae-ha he's only just met you...how is he supposed to have seen you???]}

How?

_{[Is the only question he manages. He didn't have wings so just how exactly did he fly?]}

[Because he can't stop himself from jumping all over the city... Tbh.]

My legs are incredibly strong. [He winks.] I'd be glad to show you when it's raining less.

Edited (every time I leggy default on accident I scream) 2017-10-22 21:00 (UTC)

_{[Too much leggie.

Slaine still isn't sure how strong legs can help you fly, unless he means he can jump really high...but he's not going to lose sleep over it.]}

Okay, Mr. Jae-ha.

Will you be returning to her side tomorrow?

[He asks it a little out of nowhere, watching Slaine curiously as he does. It's a genuine question without any of the intimidation he had put behind his words in the start.]

Of course.

_{[It's said as if its an obvious answer, voice quiet. There's no reason not to and he's been visiting her every day thus far...why would he stop now?]}

It's unlikely that I'll be able to visit very often, even if I can always watch from outside.

[So, he's watching you boy, but—] Please take care of her for my sake, as well.

Edited (FUCK) 2017-10-23 02:12 (UTC)

I don't think Lady Yona would like being peeped on...

_{[Slaine's not sure why Jae-ha can't visit often, but he'll accept it for what it is, even if "watching from outside" is a bit weird.]}

I'll do my best.

Edited 2017-10-23 02:25 (UTC)

It's not peeping! [It's not like she's changing...]

Anyway, that's the spirit. I'll check on you again, so take care, too, okay? It won't do to have Yona dear worrying over someone else on top of being sick.

_{[It's peeping.

All Slaine can do is nod, holding the handle of the umbrella tight.]}

I promised her I won't get sick...so I won't.
