I feel like I should apologize for this. :/a darkest_horse January 9 2011, 15:27:37 UTC
[Open doors are an invitation to Xigbar. But for that matter, so are closed ones. When he noticed the grocery bags at the door, he bends down. Not, mind you, to gather them up and bring them inside, but rather to rifle through them until he finds something good to eat.

Finally, after finding and stealing a banana, he flips inside the apartment. A short flicker of white at the door is evidence enough that little Snipe is there, like a look-out.]

You don't seem your normal, chattery self today.

...I guess it depends on how Xigbar reacts. beforemoonfall January 9 2011, 17:38:47 UTC
[Great. It's Xigbar. The last person--besides the guy on the broadcast--he'd ever wanted to see. He doesn't respond at first, instead forcing himself to look down.]

...It's none of your business.

... it is /Xigbar/ darkest_horse January 9 2011, 18:01:58 UTC
Oh, don't give me that. Everything is my business.

[He casually starts eating the banana, clearly one of those not sickened at all by the display. Perching comfortably on the back of the couch, he doesn't bother looking at Isa.]

You saw it?

And he's not predictable. beforemoonfall January 9 2011, 19:53:43 UTC
What do you think?

[Great, just great. He doesn't need this, doesn't need to be bugged by Xigbar right now. Why the hell did he leave the door open?]

Never :3 darkest_horse January 9 2011, 23:24:08 UTC
I think he should've pushed harder if he wanted to kill that kid. But he didn't, so I assume that is not in the plans.

[Man, stolen food is good. He should get more of it.]

...WHY DO I NOT HAVE AN ICON TO DISPLAY THE ABSOLUTE SHOCK!? beforemoonfall January 9 2011, 23:25:21 UTC
[He's staring at Xigbar now. Completely horrified.]

...The hell kind of person talks like that!?

The heartless kind.

[Snack. Much. Giving Isa a calm, plain stare.]

Oh, unless you are talking about catboy in which case, I dunno. Cats have a tendency to play with their food, I guess.

[Isa just... Shakes his head, kinda shocked. And you thought he disliked you before, Xigbar?]

This kind of thing shouldn't be so casual! It's sick!

It's life. And you'll learn that.

[What, disliking him? You will break his heart :c]

Xigbar, so confusing. Are you trying to help? beforemoonfall January 10 2011, 22:34:15 UTC
But I don't want to learn that!

[What heart?]

... sure. Help. darkest_horse January 10 2011, 22:39:28 UTC
Oh, but you will.

[Xigbar leaned back a little so Isa could see his face. The grin on it would rival that of certain purple felines from Wonderland.]

You know what yellow eyes mean, kiddo?

Not my fault Xigbar's confusing as hell. beforemoonfall January 10 2011, 22:42:07 UTC
No. And I don't really care. The hell does that have to do with any of this!?

[...He doesn't like that look.]

He prides himself in it. darkest_horse January 10 2011, 22:44:21 UTC
It's got everything to do with it.

[He just folds his hands and stretches them out in front of him. Clearly low on the caring here, not matter what he is talking about.]

Yellow eyes happen when someone has stared so deep into the darkness that they can't do anything but accept it. It's a mark of honour. A bloody one. And you wanna guess who else is gonna have these nice eyes of mine?

Reply

Of course he does. beforemoonfall January 10 2011, 22:47:39 UTC
I don't care, okay?

[He's got a very, very bad feeling about this. It's making that knot in his stomach worse.]

Pride is not an emotion. It's a sin. :3 darkest_horse January 10 2011, 23:29:56 UTC
Oh really?

[He raises a hand, little tendrils of darkness licking his fingers. Stupid world is keeping him too limited to do any showy signs of it.]

Rather go in blind?

And Xigbar makes it look good. beforemoonfall January 10 2011, 23:35:50 UTC
I'd rather not have to listen to you at all. But knowing you, you're gonna tell me anyway.

[He's watching those little tendrils, not liking where this is going at all. He's got a feeling he knows where this is going now.]
