[The video flickers on in someone's lap, and that someone happens to be sitting somewhere high- perhaps a fence? The fence isn't important. What's being filmed is important. Kind of.]

[If you are into two intensely muscular alien men wrestling. Then it is important.]

[To anyone who can recognize the two trolls, it's obviously Equius and Darkleer with the latter keeping the other pinned down to the ground. To anyone unfamiliar with them, it looks like a pair of near identical twins with only Equius' broken horn and slightly less muscular frame being the only differences.]

[Both of them have obviously been at this for a while, if the sweat slicked over their bare torsos is any indication. They're both breathing heavily, breaking apart briefly and just staring at one another. Then Darkleer ducks in, there's a scuffle, and Equius is slammed to the ground with the two of them locked together- muscles flexing, long hair tossed everywhere, skin rubbing against skin. There are gouges in the earth from too much STRENGTH.]

[Whoever is holding the SFC makes a very soft honking noise.]

[Darkleer starts to speak as he struggles to keep Equius down.]

Come on- you can do better- [A grunt.] -don't give up so easily-

[There's a buck, and Darkleer gives a breathless chuckle but doesn't let go. Another soft honk from the camera holder.]

That's it- [A pause as he finally notices the SFC.] Gamzee are you filming this?

[ooc: Replies might come from Darkleer, Equius, Gamzee, and every mix of the three!]

[Glomp. Darkleer is now plus one descendent, clinging to his back like a koala and trying desperately to get his SFC.]

Dadleer, no. Don't talk to him!

[Gah! Darkleer starts slightly at the sudden contact, especially as he is still in a rather aggressive state of mind- the highblood tends to bring that out in him. Automatically, he keeps his SFC out of reach but at least has the mind to turn off audio.]

Equius! Equius, calm down.

[Nope, gonna keep scrambling and trying to grab the SFC out of his hands.]

Don't talk to him, bad things happen when you talk to him, you'll go away again!

Ssshh, Equius, calm down, I'm not going anywhere.

[The SFC is banished to his sylladex, which leaves Darkleer free to use both of his hands to cup Equius' face.]

I am going to stay right here, alright? I won't go after him again. Last time... Last time was a unique situation. I won't have anything to do with him.

[Equius isn't satisfied with having his face cupped, and instead goes for a full hug, practically throttling Darkleer in his eagerness and fear.]

He'll use the voodoos on you!

Hush, everything will be alright... If he wanted to use them on me, he would have done so already.

[He starts to stroke through Equius' hair gently, holding on just as tightly.]

It might not be the best thing to simply ignore him if he's making the effort to do first contact, Equius.

[Equius is shaking like a leaf in high wind, his own long-dormant chucklevoodoo stirring and honking faintly in the back of his mind.]

He's dangerous...

[That shaking just makes Darkleer hold onto him more, leaning down to take him more into his arms.]

I know he is. But he went after Summoner because I told him to ignore the beast. I don't want that to happen again. I won't go after him but I also cannot ignore him completely, Equius.

I won't let anything happen to you or Gamzee, or myself. Don't worry. Everything is going to be okay. Hush now.

[Equius quiets down, but he doesn't release his grip or stop shaking. He's scared to death of the Grand Highblood, but he's even more afraid of losing Darkleer.]

[Sitting down, Darkleer makes sure to keep Equius close, still making the same quiet sounds for him.]

Nothing bad is going to happen. He won't get me.

Don't give him a chance.

[Equius' voice is muffled against Darkleer's chest.]

I'll try.

[Keeping him cradled close, he gives a soft snort into Equius' hair.]

Don't try. Do it.

[Very quietly, Equius snorts back.]

Equius...

[Another sigh. If only things were that easy.]

I can make no promises, no with concerns to him. You know how unpredictable he can be.

So just don't engage him!

[Equius squirms around so he's looking up at Darkleer, his expression writ with worry and concern.]

Don't interact with him unless he forces you to!

Did you hear what I said about what happened to Summoner, Equius?

[Adjusting his grip, he looks down sadly at his descendent.]

If I ignore him, he could take it as an insult. He could hurt you or Gamzee again. I don't want that. If I keep him amused the rare times he does make contact on his own, like now, then nothing bad will happen.

[Equius squeezes Darkleer tighter and makes a mournful nickering sound in the back of his throat. If only it were that easy...]

[It would be a new world if it were that easy. Still making soft reassuring snorting sounds, Darkleer welcomes to tightness and just keeps petting Equius' hair.]

If anything happens, Summoner will be near to help me.

[That is really not reassuring.]

I wish he'd just go away.

[He is admittedly not good at this sometimes.]

One day, perhaps. We just have to be patient.
