what exactly does that mean...

nothing bad, i hope? rizz was interesting enough

you're my. um.... oomfwork?

clockwork what in the stars are you talking about

perhaps a long metal pole taped to your middle will help that.

[teasing tone]

doom...! ~

it's a pleasure to see you once more. my heart aches without you around, my dearest friend.

[embracing him!]

[vine tail wagging ...]

pardon?

then why not join me now? you don't look busy.

no. was just enjoying nature. i miss the serenity of it all, the slow passage of time with the falling snow.

it's not much deeper than that, my dear.

i would've been alright.

[he hummed, stretching his body out as he looked at elliot.]

nice to know you still think of me...

[that woke him up though, the repeated touches. flame flickering back to life, any remnants would melt away.]

hmm? elliot?

[dusekkar certainly didn't feel very warm... his shell was icy to the touch, but he still snored. must've been quite the nap!]

[sleeping ... snow has accumulated on his shell and antlers. how rare!]

[ignoring everything]

[always so regal and put together, he felt like he was falling apart! carefully, he unfurled his robe a bit to conceal clockwork as he pulled him in closer- an arm wrapped around him.]

hah.

[he breathed, the inevitable hue on his shell and increase in his warmth was an indicator that this really got him. his level head evaporated instantly when presented with such genuine words.]

clockwork, i... thank you, i think i should say. hopefully that's correct.

++

i feel so selfish, hogging up your time. but i can't help myself... it means everything to me.

[he spoke, voice lowered as he felt eyes upon them from time to time. claw raising to gently stroke the metallic casing of clockwork's cheek.]

💧...

[nudging back gently, easing back into seat. tail doing a little wag.]

it was nice seeing the other admins all in one spot. it has been some time... but i always do appreciate the quiet times we get together.

[gently playing with clockwork's feathers.]

since the chaos has died down... it has been much easier to relax. especially when you are with me.

[leaning his head down to gently press his shell to clockwork's forehead.]

enjoying yourself?

[leaning against him a bit.]

hmm... ♪

time has passed once more. how fun.

i hope david does not awaken

not if i have anything to say about it... 🐺

stay away from her 🐺
