( from here! )

Too smart for my own good, huh?
How about this: I blinfold you instead and take you to your new lodgings.

[sparklings]

New?????????

[zlodey]

New.

( under a bridge. no jk )

[sparklings]

[ G A S P ]

Fedya!?!?!??
Is this a marriage proposal?
Ah, one moment, I need to see you on one knee, or else I won't believe this is truly happening!

[zlodey]

I never said the new spot is my bed.

[sparklings]

You don't have to get shy on me all of a sudden ❤️❤️❤️

I take up verrrrry little space - as you know!

[zlodey]

When have I ever gotten shy?
I was simply going to suggest you could take up a room in one of the hotels Decay of Angels has taken over recently.
How about it?
You'll have the whole place to yourself.

( and he'll know where you sleep that isn't some swamp in the middle of the forest or something )

[sparklings]

An extremely generous offer, but I'd rather sleep with you.

[zlodey]

Do you truly want to?
I kick.

[sparklings]

I'll hold you real tight so you won't!

[zlodey]

( the fact that he's willing to sleep in one bed with walking poison bomb man is crazy )

And what of my ability?
I don't know if it activates while I sleep.

[sparklings]

It doesn't.

[ how does he know. ]

[zlodey]

( the fact that gogol has undoubtedly watched him sleep before does NOT surprise him in the slightest )

I see.
Fine; you may sleep with me tonight.

[zlodey]

Of course I hid. In plain sight, as per usual.

( he seems entirely unbothered by being found; rather, he places the teacup down to look up, straight at nikolai's vaguely bewildered expression.

that he's here must mean one thing — he was planning on finding the route to the sky casino, possibly to consult sigma on what his next move would be. fyodor sighs, leaning back in his seat, and motions to the chair across the circular, small table, expecting the other to take a seat. )

Were you going to cry about our game to Sigma, Kolya? You disappoint me so.

[sparklings]

[ NOOOOOOOOO don't tell him you're disappointed……… he sits on the chair, frantically gesturing with his hands in a panic. ]

Y-You could have been up there! It felt like the natural place to be!!

[ ugh lying to fyodor is useless, he knows, but that “you disappoint me so” really hit him. he reaches and sprawls half his body across the table to hold his hands tightly. ]

I wasn't crying! I wanted his opinion on marrying you!! Fedya!!

[ full drama in public ]

[zlodey]

( if anyone hears nikolai whine, or otherwise has any issues with what is being said, they are sure... trying their best to ignore it.

fyodor has a certain air around him, when he's displeased. even regular humans can surely tell that looking at this vague mass of some sort of cursed energy might make them drop dead, so. it's technically rather private? )

Why? ( ... ) He's three years old, Kolya. What kind of an insight could he possibly provide you with?

( he probably doesn't even know how babies are made bffr!!! )

[sparklings]

[ holding his hammies soooo tightly!!!!!! ]

He's one of us, isn't he? And he came equipped with knowledge and feelings, so I thought— I thought . . .

[ ugh... ]

. . . Do you really want to marry me, Fedya?

[zlodey]

( don't squeeze too tight he's delicate!!!!! )

You thought what? That you could allow him to make the decision for you? Ah... my poor little Kolya — ever a prisoner of his own self-doubt.

( You Will Never Be Free etc etc. )

... does it matter? We have a deal.

[sparklings]

It matters!!

There's one thing you're not considering, Fedya, and it seems only I'm thinking about it!

[ he raises his evil little hands a little, looking directly into his eyes. ]

Your feelings!

[zlodey]

... what feelings?

( ??????? you guys have feelings? )

[sparklings]

[ oh. ]

Your... feelings?

[ how else can he explain it??? though, he looks at his face for a hint of a “just kidding” anyway. ]

[zlodey]

... what about them?

( why are you thinking about things like CONSENT kolya )

[sparklings]

[ HE WANTS TO KNOW IF HE LOVES HIM………… ]

Ah...

[ oh, well. he wanted an answer and he finally got it, he thinks. he slowly releases his hands, sitting back properly, adjusting the half-mask on his face. ]

Not important. I suppose I'm simply not used to winning our games, so I'm having a hard time with it. That's surely what it is.

[zlodey]

( he knows the answer to that question, though? )

You only won because I allowed it. No — because I knew exactly where you'd run off to, and what you'd do. ( he twines his fingers, now freed from nikolai's grasp, staring at him expectantly.

isn't that a message enough by itself? )

You're uncute when you get too sentimental. ( so fix it )

[sparklings]

[ nikolai is nothing but feelings, though? and even though he knows fyodor thinks of himself as something other than human, nikolai sees him for what he is: a lonely, touch-starved creature, and yes, very much a human.

he tilts his head, suddenly grinning after hearing those words. ]

Heheh. I can change my tune at the drop of a hat to please you, Fedya. But before I go back to adoring you and kissing you, I have to know: why did you want to stop me from meeting our dear friend Sigma?
