[V I D E O]

[starofchaos]

So of all things, today I awoke to find Valhalla has been eaten, citizens and all.

What an unpleasant surprise. On the other hand, someone was kind enough to leave me cake this morning. Suspicious cake is always the most delicious kind somehow.

[Can you hear his annoyance, ducks? He is most annoyed. At Valhalla, not the cake. The cake is suspicious but really, as if poison was going to be any sort of trouble for him.]

...I really would have preferred if they hadn't slipped it into my pocket, however. The frosting is everywhere.

[PRIORITIES. He has them.]

[starofchaos]

Do you like me?

[Action]

[unknownrival]

Yes.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

That's good. Because I like you, Ryudo-san. I like you a lot. It's quite fascinating for me to see, even. I don't think I've ever liked someone like this before.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

I-I don't know what to say to that. As far as I can see, I'm unworthy of that sentiment from you.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

Why do you say that?

[Action]

[unknownrival]

I'm average. Hardly someone deserving of such intense feelings.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

And you don't think average deserves love?

Besides... you are far more than average in my eyes.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

[He said love Issei is doomed.]

N-not from someone like you...

[Action]

[starofchaos]

Is that your way of rejecting me?

There's only one thing about you that I could consider unworthy and that doesn't matter.

[He can always turn Issei into a demon.]

[Action]

[unknownrival]

L-let me just [have enough time for you to snap out of this] think about it, all right? This is all very sudden and I like you enough that I don't want to hurt you.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

You can't hurt me. But you've got time, if you need it. I'm a patient man.

[He steps back, leaning against the wall.]

[Action]

[unknownrival]

[Thank goodness, personal space. He can breathe again.]

I appreciate that. Thank you very much.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

I have no wish to cause you distress, Ryudo-san. Just think it over.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

I am.

[He's ninety-nine percent sure this is a virus.]

Um, what else would you like while you're here?

[Action]

[starofchaos]

Do you happen to have tea?

[Only ninety-nine?]

Re: [Action]

[unknownrival]

Of course. What is your favorite variety?

[Action]

[starofchaos]

I trust your judgement. Please select something you find fitting for me. If it's prepared by your hands, I'm sure it will be delicious.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

[Oh, just lay on the flirting, why don't you.]

Very well, then. I'll find you something suitable.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

[Thanks, he will.]

Besides, I would be an ungrateful guest if I did not trust your taste.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

I would be more than happy to provide for you. I think we have some kamairicha that will do well enough, however.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

Thank you, Ryudo-san. That will be just fine.

[Action]

[unknownrival]

[He'll just go prepare some. Won't take too long.]

[starofchaos]

[Louis takes the opportunity to look around, peeking into Issei's room curiously before returning to sit on the windowsill and wait.

La, la... his mind is already pondering ways to turn Issei into a demon.]

[Action]

[unknownrival]

[How romantic.]

Here you are. [Issei sets the tea on the windowsill next to him.] Please enjoy.

[Action]

[starofchaos]

[HE'S NOT GOING TO WATCH HIM DIE. That'd be painful.]

Thank you. [Cradling the cup in his hands, he lifts it to his lips and sips at it thoughtfully.]
