[Marco is amusedly watching a red ball of yarn roll across the lawn. This alone wouldn't be so interesting, but the reason it keeps rolling is a certain red-haired shinigami attempting to catch it, and whenever Grell gets close enough to actually catch the ball, Marco discreetly tugs a thin wire jerking it off and away. Of course, he looks completely deadpan about it, but every so often he just chuckles evilly to himself and makes it look like it's about the Hide-and-Go-Seek games planned.

To which, there is a list of various prizes for the games in his lap.]

I wonder if it'd be a problem for a member of the Disciplinary Committee to offer up rum as a prize. Is there even a drinking age around here? Does it matter? [Clearly Marco is great at keeping people out of trouble.]

Comments

[redcinemareel]

Yes, really. [Taps Marco's nose with a grin.] You don't treat me like trash or anything.

[fierybluebird]

[Stares at deadpan and draws out slowly.] Why would I?

[redcinemareel]

[Shrugs.] Might have to do with killing whores and all. [That wasn't only it, but yeah...]

[fierybluebird]

[Shrugs and still deadpan.]

I'm a pirate. I've known worse.

[redcinemareel]

People are just so uptight at the Ministry. [Grins and tosses his yarn ball lightly up and down in his hands.] I like it here so far~.

[fierybluebird]

They frown on that sort of thing, huh? Is prostitution legal where you'r from?

[redcinemareel]

They frown upon reapers killing humans not on The List. [Catches the ball with a tight grip.] I say, they deserved it.

[fierybluebird]

Ah, of course.

But they were killers themselves weren't they?

[redcinemareel]

Exactly! [Swoons with a hand over his head.] I did the world a favor, and I get the short end of the stick! Oh cruel Fates! [Tosses that ball in his free hand through out his dramatics.]

[fierybluebird]

[Tugs closer and pets soothingly.]

Good thing you're here now, eh? In a world where apparently free toys appear out of nowhere.

[redcinemareel]

[Grins and leans into the caresses, hugging his waist.]

Yes, where free toys appear and so do magnificent phoenixes.

[fierybluebird]

I think you just got lucky with that one. Not the kind of thing that happens for everyone, eh?

[redcinemareel]

Luckily, I'm not everyone. [Walks his fingers up his chest.] I doubt they would know what to do with you once you were in their clutches. [Reaches and hair and ruffles it with a grin.]

[fierybluebird]

Mm-hm. [Takes the fingers and presses them to his lips lightly.]

And I quite prefer it that way.

[redcinemareel]

[Smiles softly at the attention, entwining their fingers together.]

It would be easier if you did.

[fierybluebird]

So do you know what to do now that you have me?

[redcinemareel]

I thought I was doing plenty. [Heat tilt.] Unless you have a complaint~.

[fierybluebird]

Never that. [Kisses cheek.]

I'm just amused at the idea of you taking care of me.

[redcinemareel]

[Raises an eyebrow before giving him a look.]

Why are you surprised?

[fierybluebird]

Because I've spent all my life taking care of others. Even my Pops.

It's nice that you'd even want to, eh?

[redcinemareel]

Point taken, my firebird. But rest assured! [Beams brightly.] Your darling kitten will take good care of you~. [Winks.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh really now? [Pets Grell under the chin and grins back.] Careful~ I think I could rather get used to that, eh.

[redcinemareel]

You should, since only you and Toby would get such attention. [Wry smile, humming at the fingers.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh, you like Toby too?

[Pleased as punch at this.]

[redcinemareel]

[Nods before blinking.] Ah, you know Toby?
