week 7

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a gold key, dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Heisenberg. The key goes to seventh floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

Another new floor, another pair of deaths and their numbers halved in a matter of weeks. Things can't go on like this much longer.]

[This... is not at all what Baldr was expecting, honestly, but given his appreciative gaze, it's clear he's not upset about it in the slightest. He is looking very respectfully right now.

... very respectfully. And very closely. From the smile that plays about his lips, he likes what he sees, but given that slight blush on Felix's cheeks, he has at least enough decorum to not start the conversation off with that.]


It isn't something I'm familiar with... a tradition from your world, I'm assuming?

[If nothing else, he sees where this is going now and he's fairly certain he's going to enjoy the direction it's taken.]

[Nuadha does not have Baldr's subtlety. He stops in his tracks just inside the doorway, staring as soon as he catches sight of what Felix is wearing. Respectfully, certainly. And also transfixed. He presses a fist against his mouth as he tries to keep his expression under control, but there's nothing much he can do about the surprised, pleased blush creeping up his cheeks.]

Ah. Would this be what you performed for that dance competition?

[ Felix will allow the two of them to look at him all they want, definitely not blind to their staring (or Nuadha's cute blush.) That is admittedly part of why he had donned the outfit. Other than the fact that it allows him to move much more easily. ]

I wouldn't say it's something you'd see a lot in Faerghus, but those looking to entertain have learnt how to do so easily enough.

[ Or those who have skills like himself. Just combine his sword skills with dancing and picking it up is an easy task for him. Which explains one of his endings ]

And no, it isn't. I would've enjoyed it far more if I had the opportunity. Now, keep your eyes on me. Maybe you'll even pick up some movements to improve your own footwork.

[ With that, Felix will begin, more than glad to have an audience, and not one to waste time. When he moves, it's with definite grace, and absolutely practiced. Ever since the ballroom has propped up he has been absolutely perfecting some of these moves, but as it's not a place many have come by since the party, he's had a lot of privacy.

Not that he's planned this, because he actually hasn't. It's literally spur of the moment, but he wanted the both of them to see him like this nonetheless. A form of indulgence for him—for them.

His unbound hair rises and falls over his shoulders as he moves swiftly, with a showiness that doesn't lend towards any sort of practicality in battle, but something he allows here. A twirl here or there, the purposeful swings of a blade that's more performative than anything, and his footwork mirroring closer to what he'd usually use in a battle, but perhaps exaggerated for the sake of the dance.

And of course a couple of glances with another smirk to top it off.

But, Felix times it exactly so that it doesn't go on for any longer than it should, coming closer after he sheathes his blade, because of course he has ensured he'd be able to do so even with what he's wearing. But he will purposefully peer in their general direction, curious about their reactions. ]


Well? Learned anything new?

[Felix's command to keep their eyes on him is in truth unnecessary: Baldr's eyes are absolutely not looking anywhere else once the dance begins. Now it's his turn to be transfixed, watching the graceful movements and spins with an expression that's torn between admiration of the base technique (which he appreciates as a martial artist himself) and admiration of a very different sort. The practiced fluidity is magnetic, mesmerizing, the trailing bits of the outfit fluttering after Felix like butterfly wings in this show of sheer athleticism and poise.

Baldr should be focused on the tight control of Felix's body, the way he moves like the blade is an extension of his body. Instead, logical thought has gone out the window and all he can really focus on right now is just how much of Felix's body that outfit actually shows off. At last Felix comes to a stop, and...

... give him a moment, now it's his turn to just stare openly for a little bit here.]


... a great number of things, I think.

[He's at least still verbal after all of that. The jury might be out on Nuadha, though.]

[Nuadha's had a practice match with Felix before, of course. And he's had a dance, much closer than this. But this is the first time he's ever been in a position to simply watch and take in every movement and the lines of Felix's body, the way his hair swirls unbound around him with each spin. He can see the echo of Felix's combat training in the steps, which only highlights every flourish that's far more eyecatching than practical. The sheer indulgence in it-- both Felix's obvious enjoyment, and the clear invitation to both of them to watch and enjoy is making it almost impossible for Nuadha's blush to start to fade.

Especially when Felix casts another smirk their way.

Nuadha is frozen for a much longer moment after Felix comes to a halt than Baldr is. He's still staring openly, transparent appreciation all over his face. It's only when Baldr speaks that it seems to startle him out of his daze, and he shoots a quick look towards Baldr as if suspecting amusement at his expense.

He can definitely do words. He still has this under control. Absolutely.]


...Yes. I agree with Baldr. Although we might learn more with a closer observation.

[Whatever complaints he had about the kitchen apparently don't apply to the ballroom, because now that he's finally not stunned in place he starts closing the distance to Felix instead.]

[ Felix looks perhaps a little smug, though his cheeks redden some once more when he notices how much they seem to like it. Which, you know, this is ultimately extremely indulgent, but you know what? He's been working rather hard. They all have.

He absolutely deserves this.

Though, Baldr's comment does draw from him a snort. But, it is Nuadha's words that surprise him. ]


A closer observation? Remember to keep yourself in check.

[ It probably doesn't take all that long to come close to Felix. But once he does, Felix will feel reminded of how hot his face is, he will step forward to help bridge the distance and reach out to Nuadha. He will definitely behave himself, but he is not above giving both of them a kiss. ]

[The blush is cute, really, but Baldr knows better than to say so out loud, at least not here. Oh, he'll be sure to comment on it later - and probably make it that much worse - but they are still in a public enough space and he remembers the kitchen incident and how he'd agreed to no repeats of that. (Perhaps under a bit of duress, but.)]

I make no promises.

[And he lets his voice drift slightly down the register to something almost bordering on a purr, a challenge and a promise all at once. Still, he will in fact behave himself for the time being and just kiss them both, gentle but with enough of a hint of heat that there's absolutely no ambiguity left as to what he'd really like after that.]

[Seeing Felix blushing even more than he is is enough to temporarily restore Nuadha's equilibrium to just a little smugness. He reaches up to run his fingers curiously over the ends of Felix's hair - he'd never quite realized how long it was, with the way Felix keeps it up - and twine it lightly around his fingers.

And if Baldr's voice dropping to that tone he knows very well is enough to make Nuadha's breath hitch, he's at least good at pretending it did nothing of the sort. Except, maybe, for his hand falling to Felix's waist for support as he kisses Baldr back and then leans back just enough to watch the two of them.]


In that case, it falls to both of us to keep Baldr in check. ...It was a remarkable dance.

[Good intentions of behaving himself or not, he leans in to kiss Felix himself when Baldr finishes.]
replacementshield: (> Fond)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-05-05 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Baldr's challenging tone of voice does not help matters in the slightest. But he will not exactly object to how things will unfold later once they are somewhere more private.

As it is now? He manages to let out a scoff of sorts. ]


Hmph, so it does. Especially given what he has just said.

[ Felix gives Baldr a knowing look before he closes his eyes, allowing Nuadha the hair touch, and leaning into each of the other two's kisses. His own in return are gentle, and light, but no less affectionate. Though, he does feel a bit of pride at the compliment. ]

I could tell I had the attention from each of you right from the start, so I'm hardly surprised you think so.

Oh? Were we that obvious?

[It's playful in part because he knows very well that Nuadha at least was absolutely that obvious. He's not doing anything on his end to deny that he likely was as well, though, and there's certainly no subtlety to the way he's watching with evident approval as Nuadha and Felix kiss.]

But if it's going to be two against one... I will have to warn you that I may not always play fair.

[Something Nuadha knows quite well and something that Felix has already begun to learn-- all's fair in love and war, after all, and Baldr prides himself on being rather skilled in both.]

It's proper to give full attention to a performance.

[But the warmth in the words makes it more than clear that Nuadha's interest couldn't be called 'proper' by a long stretch.

He's absolutely well aware that Baldr's amusement is at his expense, though. He tries to level a dry glance in his direction, but it's hard to muster when he's in such a relaxed mood. Much easier to reach up and try to pinch Baldr's cheek lightly the way Felix had the other day. It was quite a good idea, actually.]


He understates it. Don't let your guard down, Felix.
replacementshield: (> Hah)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-05-05 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Felix doesn't even so much as make a protest when Baldr is viewing the two of them in unrestrained interest while they kiss. ]

Very obvious. But, it would have been a waste if neither of you weren't paying attention.

[ In his opinion anyway.

He'll just watch as Nuadha gives punishment to Baldr for his transgressions, though, and a snort leaves him as he recalls the exact memory of where he did the very same. He's spreading good ideas. ]


Hah. As if I would ever let my guard down around anyone.

Baldr, if you believe that I won't be anticipating any tricks where you're concerned, you're sorely mistaken.

[ Because of course Felix takes it as a challenge—but at the least he is definitely eager to meet it head on. ]

[This is bullying!!! Not that Baldr seems to mind-- instead, he's just laughing again as his cheek gets pinched for the second time. If this is what he's going to have to put up with, far be it from him to protest. He honestly finds it kind of cute...]

I'm very much looking forward to it. I do hope you won't punish me too severely for any... transgressions.

[... yeah, he's just going to take the bone he's been thrown and run with it until one of them finds an effective way to shut him up. But surely between the two of them they can come up with something.]

[Baldr really isn't allowed to say things like that in that tone of voice. Not when Nuadha knows just enough to read entirely too many implications into it, and the ones he can't infer only make his imagination run amok. The blush is back in full force as he pulls his hand back quickly.]

Baldr.

[Cheek pinching clearly isn't enough to quell his worst impulses. In fact, to Felix:]

...That only encourages him. I suppose he did threaten what he might say when no one could overhear.

[Not how Baldr had phrased it, but like, they both know.]
