did you remember to switch my hoodie to the dryer?

[gunflowers]

yes, because i'm not an animal

also you're terrible, praise me, gdi.

[hoodwinker]

for being a good laundry blow? congratulations, not that i ever would've doubted it.

be careful if you have him sitting on the washer during the spin cycle. that's just asking for a busted lip.

[gunflowers]

well i'm done now, i'm not even in the laundry room anymore

though the spin cycle is pretty good. not for bjs, but you know. other things.

[hoodwinker]

i feel like i need to wash it again.

nope, never tried it.

[gunflowers]

ye of so little faith. your goddamn hoodie's perfect.

can't exactly say i'm surprised. it's kind of a hazard in general but it can be fun

[hoodwinker]

i'm trying to be less of a hazard. attacking fewer demons, that sort of thing.

and learning to knit. that's kind of fun.

[gunflowers]

oh, that's good. i like that. i really do

knitting? you should. come hang out, do your knitting while i rehearse.

[hoodwinker]

it's a hard habit to break. but there are people worth breaking it for.

that sounds nice. as long as the cat in there doesn't come after my yarn.

[gunflowers]

yeah? who that?

he's been spending time away, lately. i think he got himself some warmer company than the piano

[hoodwinker]

really? you want to fight me about this?

you're one of them, you punk.

i have to question his taste, nothing's more beautiful than your playing.

[gunflowers]

one of *them*
wait, have you finally got your shit together and stopped pushing rook away?

one, you're being cheesy, and two, i wont blame him if he's getting some.

[hoodwinker]

i care about the mr neves too.

i'm not being cheesy, you know how i've always felt about your music.

[gunflowers]

you're so tight lipped. if you can't talk to me about him, who can you talk to!!!

i didn't say it wasn't nice, Ji. but it's still cheesy. anyway come over to do your knitting. you can not tell me anything about rook some more. i can tell you about dal.

[hoodwinker]

if i start talking about him, you'll lose all respect for me.

don't say i didn't warn you.

good, i need to take your measurements anyway.

[not that it's gonna matter, whatever he makes will still end up looking like a picasso.]

[gunflowers]

Oh, please. As if I have any to start with.

[ Snicker snicker. ]

you can’t possibly say anything more embarrassing than anything you already know about me.

My - oh, are you going to make me something???

[hoodwinker]

i took him to an italian restaurant and fed him from my fork

of course i am. i don't need twenty lace doilies or something

[gunflowers]

wow, so much respect has been lost, you’re right. I can’t believe you took someone in a date and had a nice time, that’s so gross.

I hope you can imagine how hard I’m rolling my eyes right now. I took Dal on a breakfast date yesterday and held his hand. Is that just as disgusting?

I mean you do need to decorate a little. You could always make me a hat.

[hoodwinker]

god, that's so much worse. a breakfast date. i'm suddenly glad rook sleeps past breakfast.

shit, that's a good idea. clear a spot, i'm on my way.

[gunflowers]

at least i didn't feed him pieces of my bagel with my fingers, you filthy animal

couch's ready for you

[hoodwinker]

It wasn't bagels, it was garlic bread.

[which is just grosser, really. jiho invades, bag of yarn and such in hand as he flops down on the couch.]

I'm making you a grey hat. You wear a lot of grey.

[gunflowers]

Ew.

[ Myung's grinning, and he's definitely happy to see Jiho. He's still playing, but just random little melodies, nothing in particular, nothing focused. ]

I gotta balance the hair, you know.

[ Even though, right now, said hair is white as can be, which Jiho knows, and as seen before, usually means that Myung's power is not working.

But he's also not injured. So what? ]

[hoodwinker]

That's what soap and mouth wash are for.

[jiho takes his yarn and needs out, setting it aside so that nothing will get tangled before looking up. he does the double-take.]

Hey, what's wrong? Are you sick?

[gunflowers]

Huh? [ It takes Myung a second. ]

Oh. Oh! No, I'm fine.

[ He runs a hand through his hair, smiling to himself, cheeks going rosy. ]

It's Dal. He can, uh, absorb powers, through touch? He had to borrow one of my hats.

[ He cuts a look at Jiho. ] But don't go jumping to conclusions, it's not - the way you think.

[hoodwinker]

Of course it's not.

[he doesn't look like he quite believes you, but he does look amused. and relieved to know that myung is okay. and while his powers might be embarrassing for some, they won't actually hurt dal either. so that's good.

jiho thinks for a moment.]

He takes them away, just like that?
