[Lavellan has promised him shopping and, honestly, time with Lavellan is on his list of Good Things, and also buying pretty things? Yes, please. So of course he's going to show up. Even if they're going to have to deal with an even more high-maintenance Jiroutachi.
Which is what he sees when he shows up and sighs before calling out.]
Oi, Jirou, you're gonna break him!
[Hopefully he hasn't been broken already. Jiroutachi is Big, after all, and Lavellan is not.]
[Lavellan hasn't entirely lost his edge, despite living in safety and relative luxury on the station for months on end. He's also actively waiting for the two sword-spirits to arrive, so it's not a surprise when he hears Jirou's footsteps behind him.
The taller man draping on him... that's a bit of a surprise.
The elf is strong, much stronger than his thin frame would suggest, but he still finds himself staggering just a bit before digging his feet in to support the weight of the beautiful (heavy) sword. Once he's reasonably convinced they aren't both going to face-plant into the sand, he reaches up to gently pat Jirou on the shoulder.]
Unconscionable. We'll find you something to drink while we're out, I promise. I'll tell them it's for me.
[Lavellan's not yet asked about the alcohol thing, but Jirou's a spirit. Spirits have their own rules, right?
The sound of Kanesada's voice brings a smile to the elf's face, even as he's still trying to console Jirou.]
[And of course he gives him a kiss right on the lips before getting up so he isn't leaning on Lavellan anymore. Less because he thinks he'll crush the elf and far more because that's a loooong way for him to keep leaning down. It's much easier to suddenly go and...
Wrap himself around Kanesada.
It pokes at the younger sword and it paints a pretty picture for their friend. Two birds...one stone.]
Should I squish you instead, Izu-san? You like when I carry your and toss you?
Kanesada crosses his arms and shakes his head, trying not to think about both Lavellan's smile directed at him and how Jiroutachi just straight up kissed Lavellan like they're not in the middle of civilization. There is a time and a place, you heathen!
But he doesn't have to worry for long about any of that, not when he instead has to worry about it being his turn to stay upright. He spreads his legs a little wider and braces himself against the sudden ungodly weight, the understandable strain probably obvious on his face, despite his best efforts not to show it.
And then? Jiroutachi has to talk shit??]
I have no idea what you're talking about. You're still drunk.
[His breath does reek of sake, but that's just part of being Jiroutachi. But it can still totally pass off as a good excuse, right?
That poke to his cheek causes him to frown amid the very noble effort of staying standing and if they were alone, Kanesada would definitely retaliate. Even if it meant getting his ass handed to him. But they're not alone and he has no intentions of making a fool of himself in front of Lavellan.]
[It's a good thing Jirou lets up on Lavellan shortly after the kiss, because the elf definitely wasn't expecting that one. To his credit he at least manages to keep from blushing (too much), given that he and Jirou have already done far more than simply kiss.
Once Jirou's weight is gone, Lavellan rolls his shoulders... and then finds himself lifting a hand to cover his mouth, to hide the grin he can't quite help at the sight of Jirou poking Kanesada's cheek. He knows they're from the same world but he doesn't know what sort of history they have, either there or on the station. All he sees is Jirou being playful and Kanesada pouting prettily.
And speaking of pretty, there's one very attractive man hanging off another very attractive man. Both of whom Lavellan's had... relations with.
He probably shouldn't find this image as appealing as he does. (But he does.)
In a valiant effort to keep his mind off those particular thoughts (and keep the majority of his blood from rushing south), Lavellan clears his throat and steps toward the pair of them, holding his hands out as an offering for either or both of them to take.]
Shall we head to the market, then? Jirou needs alcohol and I feel you're both in desperate need of something new and pretty to wear.
[The tone he uses is very much along the lines of "Oh you silly boy~" and he for certain pokes his cheek again. Because obviously Lavellan is enjoying the show so why not? However, Jirou doooes take notice of what is being said and looks over at the elf.
Who has just said almost all the things Jirou adores.]
Alcohol and something pretty to wear? Waaaah! Lave-san is so good!
[Leaving Kanesada, he reaches out and takes both those hands (he's greedy so don't mind him) and immediately starts dragging the tiny figure with him to the shops. Not hard really. Jirou is stronger than both of them and bigger too.]
[Jiroutachi cannot get off of Kanesada fast enough so when he finally does, Kanesada makes to help shove him away, even if it means both of Lavellan's hands are greedily taken up. That's fine. He doesn't need to hold someone's hand. He doesn't need to hold anyone's hand! He's strong and cool and independent!
He does need to rub his shoulders really quickly because oof he hadn't prepared for Jiroutachi weight training today. It's not a big deal, though, and he follows Jiroutachi and Lavellan.
While those two are off doing...whatever they end up doing, Kanesada will keep an eye out for anyone selling jewelry and accessories. It doesn't take long to see earrings on display and he immediately gravitates toward them. He's content, for now.]
[Startled laughter erupts from Lavellan as he's pulled away by the much taller sword-spirit; for all that he's stronger than he looks, for all that he's fought--and slain--dragons, it's absurdly easy for Jirou to drag him around. Probably because being dragged around by a beautiful man who wants to spend time with him (even if it's only because Lavellan's bribing him with alcohol and pretty things) is sort of like a dream come true for the elf?
Not that he's forgetting Kanesada in all of this. He turns his head to try to keep the other man in his sight as Jirou pulls him away--]
We'll catch up with you, don't worry!
[--and then he returns his attention to Jirou, whose enthusiasm must be contagious if the elf's smile is anything to judge by.]
What first then, lovely? Shopping while we wait for Izuminokami to catch up? Or alcohol first?
[It's like he has a nose for it. He knows exactly where it's sold here because he's tried to get alcohol here to no avail. Very unfortunate really. Don't they know he needs alcohol to stay holy?
So rude.]
We should give some to Izu-san too. He enjoys alcohol too.
[And maaaaaaaaaaybe Jirou wants to see if he can get him drunk again.]
[Kanesada waves at the two of them so they know he's heard, but continues to look at everything. There are a few pairs that really catch his eye, and then some that come sold as multiple pairs, which is perfect because he needs to keep the multiple piercings in his right ear from closing up. He keeps looking, since Lavellan did say they'd come back, but he's kind of bored without company. So he keeps the stall in mind as he looks for the others so he can catch up.
It's a good thing Jiroutachi is, like, a gajillion centimeters tall because it makes it really easy to spot him in a crowd. So it doesn't take long to catch up and, of course, they're near an alcohol seller. It's Jiroutachi, after all, there's really no surprises to be had.
Luckily for Kanesada, he's just missed the horrible implications of where is life is about to head.]
Does he? Maybe I'll get some to bring back with us, then.
[Which is exactly what he does. Jirou gets his own portion first, and Lavellan's just tucking a couple of spare bottles he's purchased into a shopping bag when Kanesada catches up. Might as well continue to enjoy themselves after the shopping trip is over and they're back at their lodgings. Maybe he can convince his lovely companions to model for him when they get back.
Hey, a guy can dream.
Lavellan's smile is just as bright and delighted every time he sees Kanesada, and even though it's only been five minutes, this time is no exception.]
My apologies. I think Jirou's ready now though, yes?
[Oh he's so pleased at how easy it was to talk Lavellan into getting more alcohol to possibly share with Kanesada later. He really hopes they get to that because that should be amazing.
For now though? They're getting pretties!]
I'm ready!
[He looks between the pair of them. How Lavellan looks at Kanesada. Hmmmmm...that should be interesting because Kanesada has such a close relationship to Horikawa...
Oh well. Not his problem! If anything comes of it he can watch the show with a drink in hand.
(Jirou's never claimed to be a nice person, you know.)]
[Kanesada waves his hand. Yeah, he got a little bored on his own, but he doesn't intend to rush the others He can be patient.]
You're fine, you're fine.
[Besides, he likes Lavellan and when Kanesada likes someone, he can be a little more patient than usual. Shocking, yes, but still possible. He smiles at Lavellan, but turns to Jiroutachi.]
What do you want to look at first?
[He's not Jiroutachi's keeper, but he's been around him enough to get the idea that it's better to keep Jiroutachi amused instead of dragging him around without any distractions.]
[And now that both of his lovely companions seem to be content and ready to resume their exploration of the market, Lavellan is more than happy to let them lead the way. This trip is for them, after all, he's just there to provide the money and enjoy being in their presence. Although--]
There was a stall with silks not far off in that direction, if you'd like to start there?
[This suggestion is not self-serving at all, nope.]
[Ah, okay, he sees Jiroutachi coming for him again, so he braces himself for the extra weight this time. That's fine. He's strong, he can handle this! Jiroutachi obviously likes the idea, too, and Kanesada can't deny he likes silk in moderation - he is a treasured sword, after all, so he deserves nice things - and being wrapped up in it isn't bad -
Oh, but that took a sudden turn, didn't it?]
What?!
[He tries to whisper his surprise, but a bit of a shriek gets mixed in anyway. Oops.]
[Look, Lavellan's not saying he engineered this shopping trip for the sole purpose of dolling these two beautiful men up in pretty things and then trying to bed them (perhaps both at the same time) but... he's not saying it's a bad idea, either. And with Jirou wrapping himself around Kanesada again, that mental image... yep. He's going to be holding onto that one for a while, whether it comes true or not.
(And there might be a bit more blood flowing downward than usual, because the thought of those two, all of that lovely, smooth, pale skin... shit, get it together, Lavellan. You're in public.)]
I would be lying if I claimed it wouldn't be a pretty picture. [Sorry Kane-san.] If everyone were to consent to such a thing, of course.
[...What would Kunihiro think of him these days, letting himself fall into bed with more and more people? It's not like they were completely monogamous when he was still around, but he wasn't nearly this...easy.
But then, on the other hand, Lavellan is into this idea - and Jiroutachi, obviously, but that's not actually a surprise...even if it caught Kanesada off-guard - and Kanesada wants to make him happy. And...there is that little detail of having enjoyed his time with Jiroutachi back up on the station and honestly the idea is hardly a horrible one and he's the only one making a fuss about this and now he's not answering and fuck it.
He crosses his arms and snorts, trying to come off nonchalant.]
Please. With me there, it won't take more than a second to make a beautiful scene. Bring it on.
[On one hand, Lavellan would be a dirty rotten liar if he were to claim he hadn't been hoping Kanesada would agree. The greedy, selfish part of him absolutely wants two beautiful men in his bed at the same time. On the other hand, he saw that hesitation there and his dick isn't doing all of the thinking quite yet.]
It's entirely up to you, Izuminokami. You won't hurt my feelings if you'd rather not. [He smiles warmly, as if to reinforce this.] I want you and Jirou both to be happy, and to enjoy yourselves today. Let's just worry about shopping for now, shall we?
[That warm smile gets turned on Jirou next, and Lavellan gestures toward the silk stall with a nod of his head.]
Shall we? I think you'd both look rather striking in red silk, if they have any.
[Besides, now that the idea is there in his head, he's rapidly warming up to it. And if he were to backtrack now and change his mind, then he wouldn't look very cool at all.
Appearance is very important, you know.
...That compliment? Is nice, though. Every little bit helps his self-esteem, too.]
Red is a good color in general. Kiyomitsu told me once that it can represent passion and dominance and stuff like that. And that if someone wears red, then other people are more likely to find them attractive.
[Kanesada starts heading to the stall that Lavellan pointed out and looks back at the others, smirking unabashedly.]
I'm afraid I don't have the right coloration for red, myself. I'm more of a green or a blue, I think--not that you can usually tell, when I'm covered neck to toe in metal armor. But thankfully I believe the two of you more than make up for my failings.
[The silk stand isn't far, thankfully, since with Jirou in the party it's a bit like herding cats. Not that Lavellan's ever had to deal with something like that before, ahem.
Those names have him curious, though--]
Tell me more about your home? If either of you wouldn't mind, I mean. It sounds so different from Thedas, I'd love to hear more about it.
It's a citadel! We've all been summoned there to fight these scary demons that want to change history!
[Jirou smiles brightly now as he launches into the part that actually interests him. Talk about Taroutachi.]
Aniki is huge though. So big and so beautiful. There's no other sword around that is more beautiful than he is, not even me. He's quiet and calm, always there for me. We even drink together and he's one of very few who can match me drink for drink. You won't find anyone as kind and wonderful as he is.
