Action: Marsiva, Hospitality Deck

[ The video starts, but it would be easy to assume at first that the young man featured in it was still asleep. He's got a grey beanie shoved over his eyes in a manner that was definitely intentional. But after a long moment, he groans and sits up, pulling the beanie up so he can see what he's doing. ]

...Ugh. Where...

[ He does notice the camera after a moment, and he freezes. It's with an entirely unhappy scowl that he turns away after a moment, looking around. ]

What the hell is this?

[ He didn't ask for this, and he definitely doesn't seem impressed to be the latest member of intergalactic reality television. ]

I'm still not actually sure how old that is. You look like a teenager, but I know you're not quite...

[ He gestures expansively. ]

[precedented]

At least I will always have my good looks.

[axeboyfriend]

[ It's a good thing that Dune's not privy to Shinjiro's Inner Mind Theater, because there's a lot of strangling down about ten or twenty responses he's actually thinking before he gets one out. As it is, he tugs on his beanie slightly, trying to cover his face just in case he's blushing. (He is.) ]

...Silver linings, huh?

[precedented]

[ Pfft. He's graceful enough not to laugh at that expression. ]

One of the few, I suppose.

[axeboyfriend]

[ LOOK. Just because Shinjiro won't let himself have nice things doesn't mean he's blind. ]

It's better than none at all.

[ He's... still working on that blush. Damned things are hard to get rid of. ]

[precedented]

Is it? I find there is rarely a time when none exist.

It's how the scales have weighed themselves against it.

[axeboyfriend]

You're probably right.

[ Shinjiro's just not so great at finding them. ]

[precedented]

I'm always right. Remember?

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro smiles faintly. ]

My mistake. How could I have forgotten?

[precedented]

[ He shakes his head, a mocking tone in his voice. ]

You should know better by now.

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro lets out a chuckle. ]

One of these days, it'll sink in.

[precedented]

Hopefully.

[axeboyfriend]

Soon, with any luck.

[precedented]

Perhaps. Let's hope luck isn't that necessary.

[axeboyfriend]

[ Shinjiro laughs. ]

We'll find out.

[precedented]

Mmm. So we shall.
