the_campus | Joint Post! Like an Old Married Couple

[From just outside the jungle's trees, near the mountainside, some bickering can be heard:]

Here. It's probably fresher than you'd like, but it's all we have.
...I can't eat that, Bakura.
You don't have the option to be picky, Malik!
No...I really can't, you fool!
Tch... I can cook it a bit more, but we have to be careful, or the smoke from the fire will give us away!
Ughh...can't you find some fruit? Just look up.
Do you want to die? If someone finds you while I'm out looking for fruit, you'll have worse problems than having to eat meat.
But Bakura... [Malik sounds a bit like he might be ill.] My stomach...
O-oy! Hold on a little longer, okay? I'll see if I can find something close by. I'll stay within earshot, so if someone approaches, scream.
Just get a couple...I don't need that much.
Be quiet, you idiot. You need to eat something. [He chomps down on the meat Malik refused to eat.]
Well? I can't eat anything if you don't go get something!

((ooc: So! Tags will come from both Bakura and Malik. If we're going to tag you with both on a turn we'll put a "1/2" in the subject line, otherwise it's just one at a time. Also since the two of them are injured, we just ask that nobody with magic healing powers comes along to heal them up and stuff. Thanks!

Ahh, thank you...

[She looks at the tea, and then looks all the way over at Rosenkreuz.]

[Hmph. As if he cares about tea when he got to keep his cool magical rod. What's Gekkou doing right now? He'll look, that'll be way more interesting than these boring people]

[patience instantly gone. She grumbles,]

Oh, just fuck already.

[and takes a sip]

[And then Eleanor spits out her tea, choking on it in the most undignified manner possible.]

What?!

Well look at yourselves, mate, we just owned those two bastards and you're freaking out over that asinine little comment. This is belligerent sexual tension and I want no part in it so can you just!

[makes a shooing motion toward the bedrooms]

[WOW, THAT IS A FASCINATING TOOTHBRUSH, GEKKOU TENMA. I AM QUITE ENTHRALLED BY YOUR DENTAL HYGIENE PRACTICES...]

The only way I want to touch him if it's my hands around his bloody neck! What makes you think I want to sleep with that tosser?!

[Eleanor, she is your friend, so she will not actually begin to list the reasons. Instead, she'll just throw a hand up]

I'm talking about perspective! [looks at Henry] I'm not wrong, am I?

[Sigh.]

It does seem like you're fond of Rosenkreuz [for some reason] though I don't know if I would suggest that as a solution to the problem.

Oh yes, I'm certainly fond of a man whose underlings attempted to kill me time and time again, and who did the same himself!

[okay that's it, he's done with Rod TV]

Hmph. If you're so averse to being protected by the likes of me, then I deeply apologize for saving your life.

[That deflates Eleanor fairly quickly.]

That isn't...

[Why did he have to have a point? It's so much easier to be irrationally angry when people didn't have good points.]

That's not what I meant.

Well, you seem to have a problem with what I'm trying to do here. But you're well within your rights, if you despise me for what I have done. Then Henry will take care of you as he always did, and I'll ask Harriet to help me.

[Make her feel terrible, why don't you? If you're looking for a guilt trip, it's working.]

No, it isn't that I despise you, just...

[She doesn't even know, now.]

Edited 2013-09-08 11:02 (UTC)

[Alright, enough of this.]

I doubt that will be necessary. I'm sure Eleanor was just a little shaken from seeing them again; it's hardly as if she and Harriet have the same practice as we do in keeping ourselves in check.

[He does give her a disapproving look, but continues.]

She could have found a better way to express that aggression, but what's said is said, regardless of if it was really meant or not. If she had wanted nothing to do with you, I sincerely doubt she would have stayed in this dorm with us, regardless of whatever we decided.

[The look causes her to flinch a little, dropping her eyes to her hands. Ug, now she just felt embarrassed and shamed.]

...I'm sorry.

[sigh. Henry is right, of course, and he's known it all along. Still, for some reason it really bothered him. He's not sure what to make of that.]

I spoke rashly. It wouldn't do to break the order in this situation, you're quite right.

[he nods to Eleanor]

You are forgiven.

[Looks at Rosenkreuz like... and?]

You need to apologize too, y'know... It's not all Elly's fault. What you said was creepy and gross, anyone from our time would be put off.

Is... that so?

[He sees Harriet glaring him down with the teacup raised and held at her lips. Argh, these Rose Duelists are killing him here. Why couldn't they just have celebrated their victory instead of getting into this foolish debate? ... But if he truly unnerved her, then perhaps she was unable to enjoy it. That was the opposite reaction of what he had wanted from her. He really just wanted her to see him telling the men who tortured her that he wasn't going to stand for it and that there would be hell to pay if they touched ANYTHING of theirs. She should have felt protected.]

... Very well. My sincere apologies.

I accept your apology as well. And... I do feel a bit safer knowing that you won't let anything happen, assuming that wasn't part of the act.

[It's the truth, really. Rosenkreuz may have been manipulative and a liar at times, but in this situation, she felt that she could trust him, however foolish it might be.]

But of course...

[and then the two mediating parties, Henry and Harriet, shared a collective sigh of relief.]

... Although, while we're on that topic, I'd like for you to give the ownership of the White Roses back to me. I'll create a barrier around our dorm to ensure our foes cannot come near. And I'll know if they have, giving us yet another advantage in our so-called truce.

Ah, of course. I willingly give up my ownership of the White Rose Cards to you, Rosenkreuz.

[Since he has the physical copies, her verbal surrender should be enough for the magic in them to work.]

[yaaay. magic is the best way to make up after a spat. He smiles]

Then I'll perform it immediately.

[goes to set up the cards in a circle and cast... he'll be a little bit]
