(it's a bad time, i guess.

a smile, sudden, addressing eichi.)

It's okay, Sasuke. I had a brother. I didn't really wanna trample on the mood, since he's dead now, so I didn't think of answering. If you really wanna know, though, then that's fine.

[finethanks]

[ Ooh, he really did hit a nerve. But his smile doesn't falter at all. He thinks Suigetsu deserves it, with how he acts, that something sensitive is brought up... ]

Death shouldn't ruin such a nice scene, don't worry. I'm surrounded by death and could die any day now, so it's not so startling for me. I'm sorry, though. I can't imagine how that must feel, since I've never had a sibling myself.

If you think about it, it's like drinking in his honor. Feel free to share as much or as little as you'd like and relax, Suigetsu~.

[liquidate]

(standing up jerkily, all fingers curling into a tight fist. except for index and thumb, like a gun by his side.

in his honour?)

[eyeforaneye]

[ The air seems to shift and Sasuke knows that feeling well, suddenly reddened eyes immediately going to Suigetsu with the barest shift of his own weight, still seated. ]

Don't. [ A single word that's both an order and informative, enough to tell him that should he attempt anything it won't succeed without some serious effort. ]

... as I said-- [ And here his stare settles on Eichi instead. ]

--we don't need a story. That's enough, Eichi.

[bone_idle]

[ During this, Sans realizes two things:

One, he kinda got screwed up and he's supposed to drink now.

Two, he sorta kept drinking, watching the rest of this interaction unfold until he's sipped his way through about a third of his cup. So he sits there, one phalanx dipped into the contents, giving it an assuredly unhygienic stir while he stares. ]

So, uh--Who's up next?

[finethanks]

[ Eichi at least seems to get it, quietly eyeing Suigetsu and then Sasuke. He's done, he's done! ]

[leatherdaddy]

[ A short time later Gladio finally reaches back and claps a hand against Suigetsu's back. It's a friendly gesture, long after the outburst and awkward silence has fallen heavy among them... and Gladio picks up the mood. Well, more like changes the subject. ]

Siblings are great. You should see how cute my little sister is!

[ And with that he drains his cup. ]

Another round!

[liquidate]

(UNSURE. CAMARADERIE IS FOREIGN.

WHAT'S HAPPENING... HE'S BEING PATTED... FOR THREATENING EICHI? DID HE DO A GOOD JOB SOMEHOW?)

...

A-Ah. Um, right.

(raises his glass a little.)

Another round.

GLADIO STOP SENDING MIXED MESSAGES STOP TOYING WITH A MAN'S AFFECTIONS

[leatherdaddy]

Now that's what I like to hear!

[ He'll even pour, how about that! Is... he getting drunk? ]

(still holding his cup out for more alcohol, side-eyeing..........

finally gets the courage to ask what he's been wanting to ask since he saw him on the network.)

Gladio...

[liquidate]

Why is your face so hairy, but your body isn't.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Sasuke's cup is held out to be refilled as well, interested in pushing his limits for the sake of the game and he's now out after that sibling round, but... ]

... you're also hairless. [ As he looks at Suigetsu. ]

[liquidate]

I can't grow a beard like that, neither can you.

(MOTIONS)

But here he's got a hairy face... Shouldn't it extend downwards?

[eyeforaneye]

I hadn't thought it over much. [ Though Suigetsu has a point. It does seem inconsistent.

Here he joins his teammate in openly looking at Gladio; neither of them are particularly fussed by nudity or talking about bodies in general and for that I'm sorry. ]

... perhaps he removes it.

[leatherdaddy]

Hooh? Are you really that interested in me?

[ Gladio is deeply amused by the conversation. It might not be the first time it's happened. ]

...If you're that curious, I guess just once is alright --

[ Gladio grunts as he gets to his feet, then makes a deliberate drop of his gaze down to his belt, letting his hands settle at his sides...

And then reaches for the buckle. ]

[eyeforaneye]

[ I... okay, this is happening. ]

[liquidate]

You're so helpful, Gladio!

(sits there, staring openly, with an aside to sasuke:)

It won't answer the question of why there's none on his chest, but at least we'll be able to compile what we do know from this.

[bone_idle]

Welp.

[ Sans starts to get to his feet, shaking out his hoodie and pushing first one arm through it and then the other.

Y'know. For effect. ]

This is my cue to leave.

[finethanks]

[WHAT IS HAPPENING... He practically jumps to his feet in turn, very clearly swaying before he reaches for Gladio's arm to give him a tug back down.]

Wait, wait, is this really something you should be jumping to? It must be that your head isn't clear, so you should sit back down...

[He's flustered about nudity, ok!!]

[leatherdaddy]

[ ... ]

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio bursts out laughing after what is FAR too much solemn silence, heavy with anticipation and anxiety. ]

You should have seen the looks on your faces!! Pfffhahaha!!

[ He wasn't serious after all. ]

[finethanks]

[...Gladio u punk.

Eichi sighs and his shoulders droop a little, and both of his hands clap lightly over his own chest. He sways a tiny bit more.]

I nearly had a heart attack just now, so I hope you're satisfied.

[liquidate]

So you're not gonna show us at all...

(stares up into the night sky, dejected.)

[eyeforaneye]

...

This has been too much upset over something as simple as a naked man. [ Really, Eichi. Really. ]
