Dualscar and Mindfang are seated across from each other in a room lit by candles, wood panelled and close - a ship's cabin. A crystal decanter of a deep red wine open between them, mostly empty. Their glasses are also mostly empty, but neither of them seem inclined to refill them.

Mindfang is rather distracted, you see. A troll in a slave's tunic kneels on the floor between her legs, her hands reaching up to undo the ties on Mindfang's shirt. Her hands are shaking visibly, but she doesn't hesitate in her obedience to Mindfang's will. Though the slave's face is hidden, her horns match Dolorosa's. Mindfang strokes the slave's hair, watching Dualscar under heavily-lidded eyes.

Dualscar is watching the goings-on with eyes narrowed, his fists clenching and unclenching in frustration. "I'm done wwith this, Spinneret! I'm not goin' to sit here an let you wwalk all ovver me. If you're not interested in wwhat I havve to offer, then I'll just fuckin' leavve, understand? You'vve plied the seas at my sufferance all a this time. You can't just treat me like this!"

Mindfang flicks her free hand carelessly. Though her words are muffled, it's clear that she's inviting him to leave. Dualscar leaps to his feet, knocking over his chair. With a snarl, he strides from the room, cape rippling, and slams the door behind himself.

[Sufferer winces as Dualscar goes through his diatribe; it hurts hearing this, hurts knowing what happened to his nearest and dearest. His face is stricken when he looks at Dualscar, but his voice is very soft and in control.]

And now, having gotten to know them… do you still feel the same way?

[Sufferer is quiet for a long time, dropping his gaze and looking at his hands, clenched together in his lap.]

I remember you. In my dream.

[Sufferer doesn't protest, but he doesn't look up right away either.]

I do.

[Another sigh, and this time he reaches his arms out, beckoning Dualscar into them.]

Come here, you big dumb fish. That's what I've been trying to tell you… if you've changed, really changed, what you did in the past doesn't matter.
onlyasign: (Dolorosa hug)

why are there no pictures of Dualscar and Signless hugging for me to icon? WHY I ASK YOU

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-10 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Shoosh.

[Sufferer tucks his legs up and scoots into Dualscar's lap, letting himself be enveloped in the larger troll's arms. He used to Dualscar treating him like a piece of extra cuddly luggage, and it's refreshing after how they were fighting.]

Of course you're still you. But you're thinking about things now, instead of blindly following the Empire. [a gentle fin-stroke] That's all I ask.
onlyasign: (I SAID HEY optimistic)

WE SHOULD COMMISSION THIS IMMEDIATELY

[From where Sufferer is standing, it looked like some pretty blind obedience.]

You've changed mine too, Dualscar. And I am happy, which you're a part of.
onlyasign: (wonder)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-12 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

[Really, it's not like Dualscar was being particularly subtle there.]

I'm not going to break up with you, Dualscar. But you need to tell me when things are bothering you, so I can help you through them.
onlyasign: (all the unsure)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-12 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer goes very still when he hears that. Eww, things he does not want to think about: this!]

I see. Have you talked to her about this since?

[He did not want to be bulge cousins with his moirail!]
onlyasign: (eyes like burning)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-13 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not angry, exactly, but he's not particularly pleased, either.]

I'm going to trust you to not push this issue, Dualscar. You need to let her decide, all right? And if she decides she's not interested, you're going to respect that.
onlyasign: (awakes the sufferer)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-13 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I'll let the two of you figure that out then, and not interfer.

[It's well established that he doesn't understand hate, after all.]

However, Dualscar... [he looks at him, and his eyes are bright and steely] if you do hurt her badly, or cull her, we will break up. Understand?
onlyasign: (calm down)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-02-13 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[A kicked guppy?]

All right.

[Sufferer puts away his Serious Face and lightly strokes Dualscar's fins in mute apology.]

I'm not going to lie; this is going to be strange for me, and I'm not sure I'll be much help talking about it. But if it makes you both happy, I have no problem with it, as long as no one gets hurt too badly.
onlyasign: (cloak)

[Dammit, Summoner... Sufferer loves you, he does, but your view on relationships is... troublesome, at times, to say the least.]

[Sufferer squirms around, freeing his cloak from under his ass and swinging it to wrap around them both.
]

I will talk to her about it. And I'm not going to stop you from pursuing it, not if it makes you both... happy?

[How does hate?]
onlyasign: (wonder)

Weren't you and Mindfang kismesises at one point?
