Grumpy isn't my signature look, is it? I thought it was a scheming face.

[He doesn't mind the teasing. Kaz gravitates to those who aren't above teasing him, it makes him feel normal.]

[aspolyhymnia]

It's moody and judgemental either way.

Do I get to hit you with the pillow version of you?

[noreasonneeded]

And satisfied, when a tricky part of a plan is finally figured out.

Just not when I'm holding a beverage, I'd hate to waste it.

[aspolyhymnia]

It needs movable eyebrows so it can do that single brow raise.

I'd never want to waste wine or coffee.

[noreasonneeded]

You seem to know all my facial tricks.

Worse than wine, whiskey. Though I wouldn't want to spoil either.

[aspolyhymnia]

I spend more time looking at your face than you do.

I will preserve all drinks.

[noreasonneeded]

That's probably true, in which case, I hope you tell me if I end up with something on my face.

[aspolyhymnia]

I would. Unless it's a bruise, you probably remember getting those

[noreasonneeded]

I'd worry if I didn't know about a bruise, but toothpaste in the corner of the mouth in the morning before coffee can wake me up enough to see it, or a food slip with something saucy, that's the question.

[aspolyhymnia]

Yes, I would absolutely tell you about toothpaste or sauce.

[noreasonneeded]

I'll return the favor if I spot any port.

[aspolyhymnia]

Thank you.

I'll even offer you a bandage when you're bleeding.

[noreasonneeded]

Appreciated, though while I have a high pain tolerance, if I don't notice I'm bleeding I have another problem to deal with.

[aspolyhymnia]

[She chuckles.]

Probably, yeah.

[noreasonneeded]

You really needn't be that worried about my blood flow, Stella. Ketterdam breeds hardy stock. At least from the stock that survive into adulthood.

[aspolyhymnia]

Further proof you have a beating heart in there.

[noreasonneeded]

Or just a vacuous hole that demonically circulates caffeine and spite. How is that for imagery?

[aspolyhymnia]

Makes me want to see the hole.

Probably not what you were going for.

[noreasonneeded]

It wasn't, though it's certainly a soundbite in and of itself.

[aspolyhymnia]

Show me the demonic hole where your heart should be?

[Why does that somehow sound dirty?]

[noreasonneeded]

[It's hard to make 'hole' sound anything but, really.]

I always pour you a mug of coffee before me.

[Is there a greater show of demonic caffeine heart than that?]

[aspolyhymnia]

Be careful, I may start to think you like me.

[It is true and beautiful that he pours her coffee first.]

[noreasonneeded]

Did you think I disliked you? [It's a genuine question.]

[aspolyhymnia]

No. I think you actually like me a good deal.

[noreasonneeded]

Caffeine ensures my survival, yet it also reveals telling qualities. Dilemma.
