[ the nuzzle.... cute. tobari's expression softens immediately and he just keeps petting the sweet doggo ]

Told Hien I'd play with you. Not much play if I'm snoozing away, right?

[selfconcept]

I like sleeping too!

[ boy, does he. the puppy licks his cheek. ]

So we can sleep together!

[tindery]

[ hien just larping out this dog is killing me

but ugh… normally he wouldn’t and there’s still a part of him that’s clearly torn because he said he’d babysit this dog but.

well,, the manor is at least safe so not like there’ll be any dangers. and he’s a light sleeper so… ]

… alright, but you doze off first.

[ he’ll just rearrange his spot on the couch so he can let the puppy lie on his chest. cuddly cozy ]

[selfconcept]

[ he has larped as worse things before it's fine

There's a small whine and he gently paws Tobari's face. But whatever! He'll curl into a ball and... try not to sleep................. ]

[tindery]

[ the paw in his face gets him to playfully chomp his teeth like he’s gonna eat it

let yourself sleep, pubby… tobari just scratches behind the doggo’s ears slowly even as he lets his head rest back and fights his heavy eyelids ]

[selfconcept]

[ The puppy's face is just OAO the entire time even after the playful chomping and ear scritching happens.

go to sleep!! so that he can escape!!!! he doesn't know that tobari's a light sleeper. he'll think of something. ]

[tindery]

[ this is so fucking funny HIEN ARE YOU DOING THIS

i guess even if tobari falls asleep he will literally wake up again at any slight nudge or movement

sorry ]

[selfconcept]

[ you know what. fuck it. he lets tobari nap for maybe twenty minutes before he fuckin bolts out of the room, making dog barking sounds everywhere and then turning back into Hien from a perspective where Tobari can't see. Good fuckin lord. ]

"Okay, okay..."

[tindery]

[ hien

why did you do this?

which is to say that he does actually jump at the moment when the puppy Bolts, blinking groggily but then also running in that direction because what if puppy is? not okay? at which point he probably almost runs into hien ]

—ah. It's you.

[ tries to peer around ] Shion is...?

[selfconcept]

[ Because it was either that or wake up in his default form on top of Tobari and for him, there were no other options (there were plenty). ]

"Shion is fine. Thanks for playing with him. Did you have fun?"

[tindery]

[ thinks about his dumbass stupid placement

which is to say that tobari is like. where... is... the dog? he just heard him? ]

... ah. [ IS HE STILL SLEEPY? he rubs at his eyes for a second, shaking his head out to try to wake up more ] I guess?

[ ????? ]

[selfconcept]

[ no thoughts, head empty (most of the time) ]

"... You tired? Maybe you should go get some sleep."

[tindery]

[ he is in fact still tired, but like. he's always tired

ignores that question ]

... are you sure you're okay?

[selfconcept]

"I'll be fine if you get some sleep."

[ what now, tobari ]

[tindery]

[ he seems to think on it and what his response should be

but he settles on reaching for hien’s hand and tugging him forward so tobari can give him a hug

he said he liked physical affection so. if tobari’s overstepping he’ll just apologize after ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is fine with hugs--likes them very much, even. He's just more confused as to why Tobari is hugging him, but returns the hug anyway. ]

"If you wanted me to carry you to bed, you could just say so."

[tindery]

Shut up. I just think you're way too fucking calm for a guy who got eaten.

[ obikawa told him everything and he's just been sitting here like ??? is hien?? fucking okay????

he doesn't know the right things to say to help, and he doesn't know what right things to do either because hien's a stranger to him and less emotional than the other people tobari's tried to help. but he still can't help trying.

well, maybe it's not necessary anyway. that's fine too. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Oh. Hien slowly blinks. ]

"Who did you hear that from? I'm fine though, as you can see."

[tindery]

[ he'll move to pull back ]

Who do you think? Unless you've just been broadcasting to people that you ended up in Obikawa's stomach?

[selfconcept]

"I haven't told anyone, because it's none of their business."

[ Also making them worry and having to deal with that is a pain.

Exhibit A.]

[tindery]

Then tell Obikawa to shut up. [ well, ] Though he might've just been talking about it since I saw him right after.

[ literally still wet from the river. they're both making tobari think that people just straight up don't dry off after ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is just (your voice) a sopping wet cat

His priority isn't being dry when he comes right out the river, unfortunately. He shrugs. ]

"I can't make him shut up. It doesn't look like Tokinaga can either."

[tindery]

Something something who has the right to tell a god what to do bullshit.

[ MUMBLES GRUMBLES he's just parroting what obikawa said and sounds appropriately dismissive about it ]

Fucking moron.

[ but fine. he sighs. ]

... if you're really fine, then I'll quit bugging you. But I'm probably going to go nap, and if you want to join, you can.

[ but that's about where he'll leave it. he's not a stranger to sharing space with other people, and if it'd give any comfort to hien then he doesn't mind ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien doesn't need any comforting, but he blinks. Hien would also be like "you can't tell me what to do" but that's just his personality. He has never felt like a god for a day in his life. He's about to tell Tobari that you can word it like a question, but then he offers a nap with him. Like.

Okay. He goes on over to nap with Tobari. Luckily for Tobari, Hien can sleep in any place, in any position, for a long time.

Unfortunately for Tobari, Hien reflexively cuddles and has a death grip that doesn't free the victim easily. Hien is also a very heavy sleeper and probably won't wake up until purgatory noon time, whenever that is.

Have fun. ]

[tindery]

[ this is killing me even still. tobari sleeps for four hours max each day so he naturally wakes up pretty early into naptime and tries to disengage himself. the way that he could probably slip away but like... he doesn't want to wake hien if he's in such deep sleep... what the fuck.......

he ends up stuck there anyway, drifting in and out of sleep in this stupid cuddle pile. an advance on sloth week i guess ]
