towerofanimus | [CLOSED] And now I see, I see it for the first time, there is no crime in being kind.

Characters: Darkleer and Signless.
Setting: Signless room.
Format: Action.
Summary: Against his better judgment, Darkleer seeks out the mutant after his presence is required. It's probably end up in awkward, he's sure. Backdated to Nov. 1.
Warnings: Nothing beyond Darkleer and Signless alone in a small room. I'll add anything else if needed.

[If only for symbolism, Darkleer decided to leave the tools and clothes of his former office behind. So the troll that knocks on Signless' door is singularly tall and muscled, but he looks a tad less threatening without the armor or the bow. And the lack of helmet lets one actually see his eyes. So there's that.

Of course, what most people don't know is that Darkleer is truly dangerous only when barehanded, but hopefully he won't have to demonstrate it during this meeting.

He's not wholly sure why he's doing this except. Well. Curiosity killed the purrbeast, indeed.

Arms folded over his chest, he stands before the door and waits.]

[Yeah, nope. He's gonna keep staring down. He can damn well stare down mountains, and he will stare you down, Signless. He will stare you down until you leave the room, only to realize it is your room. This is the true power of the stare. And it's worse because he's not wearing the helmet so you can actually see the stare.]

[Signless does not leave and he will not. However he is willing to compromise, stare or not he heads over to his resting area and decides to fiddle with an artifact he hid under his pillow. Let Darkleer stare he is going to sit down on the foot of his bed and stare at a compass. An old rusty compass of Alternian craft, but a compass no less.]

[Vic...tory? Darkleer ways a few moments more before letting out a soft sigh.]

...are we done here?

[He wouldn't want to waste your time and all. 81]

[He takes a moment to let out a sigh as his is drawn away from his memories upon the sea. Softly he wipes off the object with his cloak before setting it on the bed and rising from his seat.]

I would like to think so or was there more you wished to say...or did you wish to stare into an longing abyss for a sweep longer?

[A sarcastic joke it was simply having the last word of his own. He adds a smile.]

[Dryly.]

My apologies, I hadn't realized that never been allowed to finish a speech, you simply did not know how to actually end them.

[You know, without meandering around and being dumb. Stupid, dumb dumb.]

I do know how to finish a speech, I just was at a standstill when you began to stare out into nothingness at some attempt to silence me and will me into subordination. Not something I would have pinned you to do, but everyone comes with a few surprises.

[So much for joking around, now he's back to sass.]

[...stop making him sass back, he's too dignified for sass! ~~No, he's not.~~]

I was unaware you considered yourself nothingness, or that waiting for you to get to the point was "attempting to silence you and willing you into subordination". I assure you, the only thing I am currently willing you to, is sense.

[Which is a roundabout way of admitting he kind of maybe wants to understand what the fuck is Signless' deal, but it's not like he'll SAY that.]

I theorize it's the hair. Everyone wants the shiny, pretty hair.

Well yes, silky locks make a man got whoo whoo!

He's a walking Herbal Essences ad, ain't he.

No more like Loreal. Because he's worth it.

Maybe it's natural, maybe it's Maybeline.
