you think? i can see what she wants to do. i mean, she probably would want her own space. even if she might not mind coming to sleep with me sometimes.
[Not as bad as it could be, without Vanitas popping in every so often at least. That's something. Even if she would probably still tell Noé off for it. Still, he doesn't mean to make Vanitas feel bad, it isn't like Vanitas had masterminded all of that. It was Mikhail who had orchestrated it, manipulated things between them.]
no, she seems fine! it's such a relief. i'll bring her over and you can see her, too!
Yeah, that makes sense. Women need more space than men, after all.
[Especially one like Dominique, who's used to having a carriage full of clothes for balls... But either way, he chose to fight and threaten Dominique, even if it was Mikhail who was pulling the strings. He let himself be played with like a damn toy. It's shameful, really. Good thing Noé can't hear him sigh.]
Alright. Guess I have to face her sometime.
wait till she hears about Noé with Vani and Vince. rip Vani.
she will. i'm sure she'll figure getting new clothes here quickly enough. knowing her.
[That and. Well. You know. She was a woman. In a house almost entirely of men excluding Echo, it would make sense for her to want her own space in all that. Even if she was so close to Noé. He's more relieved than stopping to consider how furious Dominique might be or get at Vanitas when she sees him, when she hears about certain things that had gone down here.]
face her? i doubt she blames you for all that, it wasn't like you used your book to control her, keep her up there.
[He can't help wondering if those two are going to have that kind of relationship, or if it's going to continue being just questionable vampire friends. Not that it's any of his business, but hey. He's curious. Vampires are funny like that.]
That's not
Yeah. You're right. It should be fine. [Except it probably won't be...]
[If people weren't already questioning the relationship between him and Dominique just from Noé talking about her, they probably would now once they see the two of them together. Vanitas probably isn't wrong to wonder what might happen, with the imprints and everything else here in play.]
[Especially their souls flare up and turn things horny, like they have for Vanitas himself. He could easily see Noé and Dominique getting frisky with one another. Frankly, he's a little surprised they haven't yet. But then, Noé is too innocent and pure for that for the most part.]
oh? okay. i do worry about her being here and dealing with this. but i missed her too. part of me is glad to have her here. is that....selfish?
[He felt the same about Vanitas being here. Not wanting Vanitas to be dealing with this either. And yet. Part of him is still relieved. In spite of not wanting either of them to be here in such danger. Dealing with Patho-Gen.
Still. It's probably an inevitability, that he and Dominique would imprint. Whether that leads to anything further, well. Time would tell.]
Nah, that's just the nature of caring for someone. If anything, I think I'd wonder about you if you weren't at least a little happy to see her.
[While he won't admit it, he too is grateful that Noé is here with him. It makes him feel a lot less lonely and, if he's being honest, frightened. It's one thing to deal with curse-bearers and such, but it's another to be kidnapped to another world with no way back.
And he'll likely be glad to have another pair of hands to help wrangle Noé and keep him out of trouble. It's exhausting looking after the idiot.]
i guess. i just worry. about you. and now she's here, too. being here. now she'll be dealing with all this as well.
[He's undeniably relieved at having her here, but that is tinged with fear. Worry for what she might have to go through. What Patho-Gen might subject her to. Dealing with her soul. Likely he is going to be rather clingy and fretting about her, but especially initially as she settles in and adjusts to things here.
It will also certainly help with having another option to assist with him needing to feed now.]
You don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. Just focus on her for now.
[Noé's done more than enough of a job babysitting him, he feels. Better he turn his attention to Dominique so that she'll have an easier time getting settled in and adjusting to their new way of life here as Augmented. It isn't easy for any of them, after all. He can't imagine it'll be different for her.]
if you say so. but you know i'm still here if you need.
[Don't go doing something stupid and reckless just because he is distracted with Dominique showing up! Basically. Still, he does want to do his best to support her through adjusting to this place, their new souls and all. So he isn't about to argue on that.]
[He absolutely is going to do something stupid and reckless, because that's just how Vanitas operates: with impunity. Just so long as Noé stays out of trouble, then it's fiiiine. He's the one who needs to behave, clearly.
[What had he done? He's trying to recall now. Unsure if it is that he was trying to remind and reassure Vanitas that he was still here for him just now or something else. It isn't like Vanitas says it often. Noé will have to be more mindful of things now, in having Dominique to take into account here, too. Not that it will entirely stop him being reckless, but it might factor in sometimes. Hopefully.]
[If Noé doesn't realize it's thanks for him caring, then Vanitas isn't about to fill him in on that. It's too damn embarrassing! Besides, he said what he needed to say, and that's the end of that, plain and simple!]
oh? okay, if you say so. but anyway, i'm on my way with domi, so i'll see you all soon!
[He shrugs it off easily enough. He's far more distracted with Domi showing up and focusing on her anyway. It isn't hard for him to get distracted from wondering what Vanitas had meant. Luckily.]

until someone else mentions and then she rounds on him/Vani like excuse me????!!!!

HE'S GONNA DIE HAHAHA

it was nice knowing everyone...

Yeah. You're right. It should be fine. [Except it probably won't be...]
here lies vanitas. he brought this upon himself.
[If people weren't already questioning the relationship between him and Dominique just from Noé talking about her, they probably would now once they see the two of them together. Vanitas probably isn't wrong to wonder what might happen, with the imprints and everything else here in play.]
or did you mean something else?
write that on his tombstone, plz, noe
[Especially their souls flare up and turn things horny, like they have for Vanitas himself. He could easily see Noé and Dominique getting frisky with one another. Frankly, he's a little surprised they haven't yet. But then, Noé is too innocent and pure for that for the most part.]
Don't sweat it. It's no big deal.
As if it would say anything else. lbr.
