[video;]

[There's a cranky nineteen-year-old staring down through the feed. The feed is upside down. Someone should probably tell him.]

Where is it?

[It's not a question, it's a demand.]

My sword. Where is it?

[He leans in, blue eyes taking over the feed.] Who are you supposed to be? Some other division? [It's not the first time he's been locked up in a lab. If this is supposed to terrify him, it's not working.] You're testing me, then.

Hope you don't have anything important in here. There won't be anything left when I'm done.

[Whoa yeah okay, hearing his boyfriend yelling at someone like that definitely gets Clay's attention. Though, looking over everything and seeing the situation for himself...

... Aha!]

You're that guy!

video; 1/3

[witheringlotus]

[Normally he'd be cool and calm and collected, since he's not talking to Allen, but there's something deeply disturbing about seeing someone who doesn't remember you-- someone who bears more than a passing resemblance to your dead lover.

Kanda seizes up entirely, an unconscious reaction that looks far, far too deep to be casual; he's sheet white, and his voice is so quiet that a butterfly could sneeze and be heard.]

A—

[witheringlotus]

[Then logic kicks in, and he slams down on every single thing resembling any kind of emotion. Violently so.

Alma is dead. Kanda saw him move on, and besides, this guy's voice is totally different... and his eyes are, too.

No, of course it wasn't Alma.]

[witheringlotus]

[When he speaks again, his voice almost doesn't tremble at all.]

... That guy?

[geonomy]

[Well that was weird. It's like he saw... a ghost! Hahaha oh right Clay is dead that's not funny.

He notices that, but he decides to brush it off as he's questioned.]

Yeah, Allen's talked about you a few times!

[... Of course, Allen referred to him as "that asshole", but...]

[witheringlotus]

[How can this guy look so happy...]

I'm sure none of it was good.

Are you a friend of his?

[geonomy]

[Hello Kanda meet puppy incarnate]

You could say that!

[Now, he's not really sure if Allen's okay with Kanda knowing about, well, them, so he pauses for a second. But well, they've never been ashamed to talk about their relationship, and Kanda's going to know sooner or later. So without further delay:]

I'm his boyfriend. Name's Clay Terran! Nice to finally meet you!

1/??? ILL TELL YOU WHEN IM DONE

[witheringlotus]

[There's this thing Kanda does when he literally can't process what's going on... and it's happening. Right here. Right now.]

[witheringlotus]

[Just... blank staring. So much blank staring. It almost seems like he's ignoring Clay.]

[witheringlotus]

[It's not that Allen has a boyfriend. It's that Allen has a significant other at all.]

[witheringlotus]

[dude looks like alma tho, lbr]

[witheringlotus]

[Kanda should be gracious, and he should be warm and welcoming.

But he's never been any of those things, so he says the first thing that comes to mind.]

Okay...

[Wait, that's not a proper response.]

DONE

[witheringlotus]

How much did he pay you?

[geonomy]

[Okay, that makes him laugh. Allen giving money just to get a significant other? Ha!]

Nothing! It was out of my own volition. Surprise?

[witheringlotus]

... Ah, I get it.

[He sits back.]

You must be as crazy as he is.

[geonomy]

Oh. [He tilts his visor back as he glances upward, as if he's pondering something.] Is that why we're so attracted to each other? Huh. I always thought it was because of his charm and good looks.

that gagtag though

[witheringlotus]

[HRK]

Please don't. I've just eaten and I don't want to stain my uniform.
