[hermit_crab]

Should we check Kraken then?

[ He gets his phone out. ]

[inclementia]

We can.

[He's still looking around the cell, stepping in to really look. He didn't inspect it much when he first woke up and hadn't been down since.]

There really isn't much to these, is there?

[hermit_crab]

Hardly anything at all. It's - very startling to suddenly be in a place like this.

[ He flicks through the list of profiles on Kraken and ... oh. Double takes?? ]

[inclementia]

Yes, it is.

[He's thinking though. He's thinking about something and-

Sees that reaction.]

Find something?

[hermit_crab]

[ Tolovir just. makes a face and holds out his phone. ]

I think this is him.

[inclementia]

[He'll reach to take the phone, not commenting on his gloved fingertips brushing Tolovir's.

But... Hm. He doesn't see the resemblance, but he's also petty and self aware enough to admit he's petty.]

Can't say I see it.

[hermit_crab]

[ Oh. That. Tolovir purples a bit at the finger brushing.

Then jolts. ]

Wh - but you're quite similar. The hair? Glasses?

[inclementia]

[He's reading over the inmate information and photo...]

I still don't see it I'm afraid. [Handing the phone back.] But you've also probably seen a large number of us humans in your time.

[hermit_crab]

[ Still deep purple. ]

I - yes, but - I - you truly don't see it?

[inclementia]

I really don't.

[He's seeing that purple, not thinking too much of it. But.

But.

Shit. Tolovir is... really close.]

You mentioned before in some vagarities... But remind me again. What were those boundaries you had before?

[hermit_crab]

[ He REALLY IS. Just all up in Percy's personal space - ostensibly to hold the phone close enough to see, and deeply purple all over. ]

B-boundaries? Which ones?

[inclementia]

[Well.]

Physical ones.

[hermit_crab]

[ Is this what we're talking about ...

Well, it is a date, sort of. Tolovir swallows rather thickly. ]

Oh. Well. I'm just - rather private. To start with. There's a limit on how far touch is ... productive? Enjoyable?

[inclementia]

[Hey, look, you got him alone in a dark cell in close proximity, he's gonna ask.]

I've always understood you to be quite private with your affairs, yes. But enjoyable... You think so?

[hermit_crab]

[ That purple is just SPREADING. Down the back of his neck and along his ears.

(It is a nice dark cell, lit only by the dancing lights cantrip in the air.) ]

I mean - I've had partners. Before now. Human and drow both. There's a point at which I'm much more interested in being focused on them than the reverse.

[inclementia]

[Hhhhhuh.

Yeah. Okay, sure. He could have sworn Tolovir only mentioned one person, but maybe that's his own fault for assuming and not asking further.

Still, that's a lot of information for Tolovir to share considering.]

I think I understand, then.

[hermit_crab]

[ WELL. He's only mentioned Petros by name. So that's a reasonable assumption.

Tolovir blinks up at Percy. ]

Y-you do?

[inclementia]

Well. Yes.

You prefer to do the treating rather than being treated yourself. Unless I'm misunderstanding?

[hermit_crab]

That - yes. That's. Accurate.

[ He reaches out a hand for Percy's shoulder? ]

[inclementia]

[God, he really needs to talk to Vex. He loves her, dearly, and she'll be there when this is all over if they ever get out of this place.

He telegraphs a little, leaning in for a quick kiss.]

[hermit_crab]

[ Oh thank the gods. Tolovir's other hand matches the first, then, sliding up to frame Percy's face on both sides. He draws Percy down - not too far, thankfully, he's kissed some VERY TALL people before - and returns the kiss enthusiastically. ]

[inclementia]

[Oh that is - More than he was going for. But he laughs a little into it and leans down for it, his left hand touching gently at Tolovir's elbow and trying to keep his worse fingers out of the way.]

[hermit_crab]

[ He has been such a good drow okay!! And he doesn't go on TOO long. He leans against Percy after, just. Savoring the moment. ]

[inclementia]

[He breathes that in, settling like that. Gods... Okay. Head back on straight, Percival.

His voice is low.] I still need to speak with Vex'ahlia. But. I think things should be all right if you don't mind sharing.

[hermit_crab]

Of course. I don't want to make you dishonest to her.

[ He smooths Percy's cheekbones with his thumbs. ]

And I don't mind sharing at all.
