I call it as I see it.

[ Though they're really just playing around a lot right now aren't they. He hums...]

Maybe I should simply sing one of my unit, songs? To lure you into my trap, that is. ♪

[at_heart]

I reiterate: Wow.

[ Chuckling, he shakes his head. ]

And now there's a trap. How dastardly.

[heavyliesthecrown]

A king is nothing without a few tricks up their sleeves.

[at_heart]

Is that so.

[ And here he thought you didn't like cheating. :|a ] [ Shakes his head, still grinning broadly. ]

Well? I'm all tied up now...

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ COME LITTLE CHILDREN I'LL TAKE--

Okay, no no just kidding. ]

Hmm. I shall simply pick one of our songs, then. They are all meant to sweep one off their feet, after all. And so which is probably less important than simply doing it.

[ He'll go with the latest one he downloaded. Since it only seemed to pop up recently. It'll be a much slower, acapella version of Castle of my Heart.

It's meant to be the serenade, but the desire to listen and attend to him is laced through the words so that by the end, the hypnotism is so firmly wound about Lupine, who listened so compliantly, that if he asked him to jump, it would be a matter of how high. ♪ ]

[at_heart]

[ It's still very funny for the first stanza, Lupine just watching and listening politely, thinking that Tsukky definitely has an ear for pitch, wondering if this card is making his (and Persephone's) singing better, and honestly? On some level, he didn't really expect it to work. He thought it might be like (attempt to) intimidate someone. Maybe he'd pretend to be hypnotized for fun.

But Tsukasa keeps going and he starts to feel sort of floaty. The amusement drains. His expression slackens, eyes slipping first to half-mast and then shut. This is fine. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He can tell when the music has had a chance to wrap around his will. If he's honest, even he is a little surprised at how well it worked.

Isn't this... actually a dangerous ability?

Of course, in his hands, it is perfectly safe. Probably. ]

Fufu~ you're a good boy aren't you, Lupine-san? ♪

[ He reaches up to pat him on his head. ]

I will be gentle with you, so do not worry a hair upon your head. I am a Knight after all. And we are nothing without our honor. But now that I have you in my net... I cannot very well just release you without a bit of fun, first. ♪

And so, I shall ask you for your time. And first, I think I should like to hear a cheer of sorts. Do you have anything like that in your homeworld?

[at_heart]

[ It's sort of like he's really floating, somewhere up above his body, watching all of this with a kind of dreamy unconcern: not like it's happening to someone else, because that would honestly be more concerning, but like it isn't real. ] [ Even so, his reaction to being called a good boy is drowsily raised eyebrows, as if to say, Really? Dog jokes?

But he isn't uncooperative, either. Doing what Tsukasa asks still seems like a good idea. There's some slow, sleepy confusion visible on his face, though.

What's a cheer, Tsukky? ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Hm...

[ No immediate reaction, it seems. ]

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with what a cheer is? Truthfully, I am unsure if I have ever done one myself. I would venture to say no. But we can be creative. ♪

[ His tentacles shift over him, ensuring that his hands are free for this, at the same time Tsukasa lifts his own hands up. ]

Something like... 'Go avante go go avante!' Or " 'A' 'V' 'A' 'N' 'T' 'E' ! AVANTE! You do it while clapping, or lifting your hands up in celebration.

[at_heart]

[ You're asking kind of a lot of hand-eye coordination from someone this out of it, Tsukky. But he makes an attempt. A loose, quiet clap. ]

Go avante, go~.

[ Is this what you had in mind, you unfeeling monster. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . It lacks a little pizzazz.

[ His hand lifts to pet him on the head. ]

But it was an attempt. So I shall give you credit for it. But you see...? I cannot release you yet, Lupine-san.

[ His hand trails through the length of some of his hair. ]

There are a few more squares I would like to fill. I hope you do not mind.

[at_heart]

[ Wow, you're right, you should not have this power. ] [ The pat might get a slight headtilt into Tsukasa's hand~. He doesn't seem to mind. But since that also wasn't a question, he doesn't feel any need to respond. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ He'll continue to play with his hair, fingers threading into the long strands, before gently scratching an ear. ]

Are you up for a little bath?

[at_heart]

[ The scritch is very nice, he's definitely leaning into that not unlike a lazy cat. But very unlike a lazy cat, the idea of a bath just gets half a shrug. Murmurs, with some dozy amusement, ]

Sure, if you can get us to water.

[ He kind of doesn't think you can without help? ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . That is so unfair.

[at_heart]

[ Mmm~. ]

What is?

1/2

[heavyliesthecrown]

You know exactly what I mean.

[ Mrr. ]

2/2

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Cheek poke. ]

Just carry me like before.

[at_heart]

[ If you want scintillating conversation, you'll probably need to unhypnotize him; he's just prone to warm sleepy amusement right now. ] [ But his response to that is another easy shrug before he lifts Tsukasa up out of the chair again. He doesn't even really need to exert any effort here, because again half of Tsukasa's body is a jellyfish and much lighter than usual. ]

Where to~?

[ There're definitely pools around here somewhere... ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ With Lupine already wrapped within his tentacles, they only need to tighten a little when he hefts them both up once more.

. . . He really is strong. At least in Tsukasa's opinion, despite whatever he says. He has the grace to feel a little embarrassed, being carried again, but stomps it down in favor of lifting a tentacle and pointing off in the direction toward their left. ]

I believe I have spotted one over in this direction.

[at_heart]

[ Carries~ them~ over~ there~. ] [ Dozy fond sort of smile as he comes to a stop. ]

Getting the hang of those, huh?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Impressive, is it not? Of course, I will be much more so once within the water properly. I should be able to move freely, then. ♪

[at_heart]

[ Whoops, the look on his face is way too amused to be really polite, and he's too out of it to censor himself. ]

Sure.

[heavyliesthecrown]

You will be more impressed when you see it.

[ AT LEAST PRETEND. Either way, he begins to slowly try and. Crawl... off of him. With his many legs. To try and get into the water. ]

[at_heart]

[ Will he, though. Lupine spends a moment just standing there, supporting Tsukasa's weight, but then he lifts him away from his body and lowers him politely into the water. Just a touch sing-song: ]

There you go.
