You... have a definite talent, Duo.

[colony_brat]

Thanks, gor- Patchouli. I need a nickname for ya. One that doesn't make ya mad at me. [He flicks some of his hair behind his shoulder.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You may call me "Patchy". It's what Remi has always called me back home.

[colony_brat]

[He's going to chuckle a little.] Patchy. I like that. It's cute and it fits ya.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... Please don't call it 'cute'.

[colony_brat]

Oh come on. Why do ya hate that word so much? Or any compliment really?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Just... please.

Not right now.

[colony_brat]

[Duo sighs and leans back a little. He has to shift around to keep from showing what he's wearing under his skirt and he glares at the skirt for a moment like it's its fault.] Alright. I'll behave.

[That's one order he'll follow and not because of the Malnosso's influence.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

... would you like some?

[colony_brat]

I made it for you. [It's not really an answer, but Duo's also having a problem taking food from her. Having her crying and then taking care of her has brought back a lot of what he dealt with as a child and he wants to make sure she's cared for. Just thinking about taking food from her, even when she clearly can't eat it all, feels wrong to him.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And I want to share it with you. You've done so much for me tonight...

-She feels odd. It's been decades since she felt truly cared for like this. Not since Remilia found her in Paris...-

[colony_brat]

I made ya cry. The least I could do was help clean your face after. 's not that big of a deal.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You've more than made up for it.

[colony_brat]

Well, I gotta try at least. You're feelin' better now, right?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She nodded, taking another bite.-

[colony_brat]

Good. I'd rather see ya mad than upset like that.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You've eased my troubles, Duo... you didn't have to.

[colony_brat]

[waving his hand] I told ya, I made ya cry, it was the least I could do. Do I need ta say it more times?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't feel responsible for that breakdown...

[colony_brat]

I wasn't helpin', that's for sure. [Duo flicks a little of his hair over his shoulder. The curl from always being in a braid is starting to show and it's getting tangled. It's very annoying.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... Would you like something for your hair?

[colony_brat]

[Duo looks up at her, a little confused. He gets it after a moment.] Naw, 's alright. I could just rebraid it and use the ribbon, but ya gotta admit, I look pretty like this.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Well... I was willing to lend you some of my specially formulated shampoo and conditioner...

-And from the look of her own hair, it had to be some kind of magic potion. Hers was practically immaculate.-

Knew I lost a tag.

[colony_brat]

[Duo is going to look before grinning.] Sure. If it'll make my hair look as pretty as yours, I gotta try it. I'm just happy if my hair's clean, usually.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She blushes, but doesn't quite snap at the vague compliment.-
