((Set on Haen during the tropical vacation event))

[Having completed a few of the squares on his bingo card by now, Lavellan has a small savings tucked away for his eventual (supposed) return trip to Thedas. His own living expenditures are relatively minor--food, a few sturdy outfits, and the occasional small splurge like the kohl he wears around his eyes. The leftover money from his somewhat frugal lifestyle could be spent to improve his living situation back on the station, whenever they get back there, but he's already decided against that. He doesn't need anything fancy. His quarters back in Skyhold haven't left him completely soft. Give him a hammock or a bedroll and a campfire--or the station's equivalent, a tiny berth with a bed and a small living room--and he's perfectly content.

No, aside from a few trips to the VR rooms, most of his spare money goes toward spoiling everyone else.

"Everyone else" being Kanesada and Jirou, mostly, and Masamune when he gets the opportunity. Lavellan hadn't thought his weakness for pretty men was quite this bad, prior to his arrival on the station, but here he is. Sylaise forgive him.

He's gone swimming in the ocean, explored the beaches, enjoyed the music. Enjoyed the company. And now here he is with Kanesada at one of the markets, trying to decide which of the beautiful jewelled combs would look best in that mass of gorgeous hair.]

This one, I think?

[He holds the comb up to view it against Kanesada's coloring, eyeing it critically.]

[The time spent down on Haen has been good for Kanesada. He's not particularly fond of beaches or the ocean, though he's never had a personally bad experience with either, but the real air and the chance to just exist somewhere else definitely come out on top. He's not alone, either, even if some of the other people from the station are enough on their own to make his head ache on a good day.

Lavellan isn't one of them. Lavellan is a bright spot.

Which is why he doesn't mind at all being taken out shopping on multiple occasions, especially now since he's alone with Lavellan. No Jiroutachi to pull his attention away. Jiroutachi's fine and all, but in small doses.

No, right now the two of them are checking out hair combs, with Kanesada bent over the array of colors and designs, trying to figure out which ones he likes best. Ones, because why limit yourself to just a single pretty thing?

When Lavellan makes his own possible choice, though, Kanesada turns to check it out.]

Hm? Oh, yeah! It's got lots of red in it. Red looks really good on me.

[Considering that's his clothing color of choice when he can make that choice. And red just pops against his dark hair. Kanesada leans in closer, though, so Lavellan can definitely see that fact for himself.]

[And of course, just as Kanesada thinks he is getting some alone time with Lavellan, who should be strolling into the place but Masamune.

Masamune probably has been the one who doesn't let Lavellan spoil him the most. Mostly, he likes giving back as good as he gets, and that means he's refused to let the elf buy him stuff on more than one occasion, just like he's refused to let him walk away unsatisfied several times.

But seeing two of his favorite people together means he's going to go and see what's going on.]

Hey! What are you two doing here? Shopping?

I think anything would look good on you--although you are particularly stunning in red, it's true.

[Lavellan's not ashamed to be fawning over Kanesada in public. One look at the dark-haired man and anyone in their right mind would do the same, to the elf's way of thinking. He just happens to be the lucky one in the position to do it, at least for the moment. And as long as they don't break any of Haen's rules, as long as they remember they're not on the station, what does it matter if Lavellan's cooing over Kanesada like a lovestruck fool? Kanesada's never seemed to take offense to it.

He's already decided to buy the red comb, and he's wondering now if there might be one to bring out the sword-spirit's pretty eyes, when Masamune draws his attention.

He turns with a smile; alone time with Kanesada is possibly his favorite thing these days, but Masamune is another of his favorite people. Unless the addition upsets Kanesada, or steals him away altogether, why would Lavellan mind?]

As a matter of fact, yes. Don't you think Izuminokami would look lovely in this?

[That's right, he learned how to say it. Score one for the elf.]

[Lavellan always says such lovely, wonderful things to him. Kanesada just continues smiling and nods. They could do this literally all day and as long as Lavellan kept lavishing pretty words on him, he'd never get tired of it.

He's really quite terrible at reciprocation, though.]

Have I ever told you you have fantastic taste?

[He probably has, in one way or another.

Ah, but this little moment is interrupted by...Masamune...

His smile weakens a bit, but Kanesada doesn't make any protests at his presence. They've...come to an understanding while spending time on Haen and while Kanesada would still call Masamune annoying at any given moment, he's doing his best to treat him better. It sucks that now he won't have time alone with Lavellan, unless Masamune just leaves, though he doubts it, but he can still be pleasant, if nothing else.

And Lavellan has given the other man a good opening to compliment Kanesada. And he said his name correctly! That brings his smile back even stronger as he adjusts his pose so Masamune can see the color contrast better.

Tell him he's pretty, you little shit.]

[Really, Kanesada should appreciate Masamune more, because even though he says it in much cruder ways than Lavellan, he has never been holding back on complimenting Kanesada at all. Ever. Loudly. To anyone who would listen. Because Kanesada is fucking hot and that's a fact. Enough of a fact that Masamune might actually fight someone saying he isn't.

He does give a nod of approval for the comb, though. It does look good.]

You need a red and gold kimono to go with that. And a blue obi to bring out your eyes.

Man, but his hair really is something, isn't it Llan-chan?

[Of course Lavellan has excellent taste ~~look who he's been banging lately~~. He just chuckles at the comment.]

Once or twice, perhaps.

[He nods along with Masamune's suggestions, and although terms like kimono and obi are still not incredibly familiar, he's seen what the sword-spirits and Masamune wear often enough to at least start to understand. Besides, anything red and gold would look amazing on Kanesada, no matter what shape or form.]

We've still plenty of the market left to explore, I'm sure there must be something we can find to go with these. [Since it's pretty obvious there's going to be more than one new comb purchased, let's be real.] Would you like to join us?

[The elf grins at the bit about Kanesada's hair, turning the smile on Kanesada even as he's answering Masamune.]

I'm sure if there were anyone half so beautiful back home to distract me, Thedas would most assuredly be doomed.

[Masamune didn't call him pretty, but you know what? That's good, too.

And if he were a lesser sword...man...Kanesada might be a little overwhelmed by how heavy the praise is laid on him. Honestly, it's been a while since so many people have just straight-up done this that he is a little overwhelmed. But not enough to it get to him, no sirs. Instead he smiles proudly and stands up straight, planting his hands firmly on his hips.

That's damn right, boys, that's damn right!]

Well, I'm glad we're all on the same page today and showing excellent taste.

[And since he's in an especially good mood now, he won't protest Masamune coming along. But he turns to Lavellan and clicks his tongue.]

Hmm, doom's no good, though. Don't do that.

[Don't mind that Kanesada boops your nose with a finger, either.

[When it looks like Lavellan might just take that suggestion and run with it, Masamune frowns, then pulls on Kanesada's sleeve.]

Sorry, Lan-chan, can I borrow him for just a minute? I won't be long.

[He ends up just dragging Kanesada away, down a few stalls, so he can speak to him privately.]

... So. Exactly how much stuff do you let him buy you? Does he treat you all the time?

[There are literally thousands of people in Thedas that would be utterly shocked to see the Herald of Andraste's nose get booped like he's a small child. Lavellan himself just laughs, soaking up the attention from Kanesada and happy that his pretty companion is enjoying himself on their little trip so far.

He does experience a momentary pang of something that looks a lot like jealousy as Masamune disappears with the sword spirit (it's exactly what he was fearing, that something would come along and ruin his time with Kanesada) but he's quick to tamp it back down. He likes Masamune, and the younger man has never been anything but honest with him. Well, except for that time he coaxed him into performing in front of--

Okay point is, he trusts Masamune.

So looking a little bewildered but otherwise no worse for the wear, he nods to the two of them and then busies himself with deciding how many and which of these jeweled combs to buy for Kanesada.]

[Now wait just a second. Why is he being dragged away? He didn't do anything to deserve this!

But he still allows Masamune to do it, only glancing back at Lavellan once to make sure he's not upset or anything. Which means he sees that darker expression, if only for a moment. And which also means he frowns at Masamune when he's finally confronted.]

He buys me what he wants when he wants. What does it matter?

[Masamune rolls his eyes when he sees the look on both of their faces, and he waves a little towards Lavellan. really, they'll just be a second! he's bringing him back promise!]

It matters because I know how he is. He always spoils other people, and he never thinks about himself and his own needs. He's the guy who was ready to go home with a raging boner because my legs weren't really cooperating after he got me off and I had to trip him up so I could make sure he had fun too.

So I don't really care if he's buying you all that stuff, but if all he gets in return is your company, then you seriously need to step up your game. I think he deserves a lot more for all the efforts he makes.

So I'm gonna let him buy you those things cuz they look damn good on you, but after that, we are spoiling him for once and not the other way around.

[And this time, Masamune looks very serious about this. It's important to him.]

Deal?

[And now he's getting scolded. Kanesada can't help but cross his arms and exhale loudly when Masamune gets going. If he didn't care about making a scene or getting kicked out of town, thus entirely ruining his and Lavellan's day, then he'd argue more. But as it is, he tries to keep himself under control.]

He likes my company. There's nothing wrong with it. It's a pretty good gift in and of itself.

[So don't insult him like that.]

Even if that may not be good enough by your standards, he seems to be okay with it and that's okay with me.

[Because people have different preferences, right? Everyone's different.

He knows this isn't going to work on Masamune, though, because Masamune is a pain in the ass. So he sighs and concedes one on point, if nothing else.]

What did you have in mind?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. i'm saying you can do more for him, and you should.

[Seriously, Kanesada, how spoiled are you? People ahve preferences, yet, but sometimes you also have to show them something different because maybe they'll like it.]

How about we buy him some stuff for a change. I'm sure we could find him something nice to wear here. And i'll cook some dinner, and maybe...

[masmaune seems to think for a second before he just shrugs and goes for it.]

How about we spoil him in bed too? You and me. As a team.

[Ugh, you're not his master. You can't tell him what he should and shouldn't do! He can't help but roll his eyes a little bit, growing more frustrated at being called out on how he spends his time.

And then he barks out a laugh at that last suggestion, though if he actually finds it preposterous or is trying to cover up a little bit of embarrassment, who knows?]

Buying him stuff? Yeah, sure, whatever, that's easy. But us as a team? We can hardly agree on what to do when it's just us and now you wanna throw him into it? You're crazy.

[That's...not a no, however...]

Yes, I know I'm crazy, you've said that many time, but hear me out.

[No, really, Kanesada, listen. He is serious.]

I know he's pretty smitten with you, and I know he likes me a lot.

[See, he doesn't even put himself ont he same level as you, because he doesn't think he can really compare to your prettiness and he knows Lavellan is weak for that.]

And there's definitely one thing we can agree on. It's that he's a pretty swell guy, and we both like to see him having a good time. Or tell me that seeing him smile at you doesn't make your stomach flip. I won't believe you if you do.

And, you know, I know him a little. And I'm pretty sure that the only thing that would top getting frisky with one of his favorite people would be getting frisky with two. Plus, he wouldn't expect it, and definitely not from us. It'd be a surprise.

[He looks over his shoulder at where Lavellan is.]

Come on, just say yes. I told him I wouldn't be long and I don't have time for you to hem and haw about this. Do it for him. He deserves some spoiling.

[He's listening. No, really, he is. Which means he doesn't interrupt Masamune throughout his whole spiel, even if he also doesn't jump to agree at the prospect.

But...he does really like Lavellan. He's not sure how much, but it's more than just a passing thing, he thinks. So of course he wants to see him happy. Even if it means getting involved in another threesome.

Threesomes can be complicated, you know.

But he breathes out and relaxes his posture a little bit. For Lavellan.]

Fine. But if he gets uncomfortable at all, we step off.

Man, you know me better than that. Or of you don't, you should.

[But really, Masamune knows it's how you do things now. You have to grouse and be generally unhappy and reluctant because apparently, accepting enthusiastically the first time is not manly enough or something.

At least when it comes to Masamune. You don't seem to do that with Lavellan, go figure.]

Great, now let's go back before he starts fretting, he's too anxious and he'll start twisting his own stomach in knots if we stay away too long.

[Masamune grabs Kanesada's sleeve again, but suddenly stops.]

He's right, though. Those combs look super good in your hair. Now let's go.

I'm just making sure, all right?

[Because he cares about everyone involved in this...plan. But especially Lavellan since he's the one out of the loop. Surprise?

Also don't be jealous. It's not Kanesada's fault that some people don't rub him the right way the majority of the time.

But he lets Masamune drag him back without protest and stands up a little straighter at that compliment. Masamune is being honest, sure, but if he's also trying to butter Kanesada up to be in a better mood, then it's working.]

I know, but thanks for noticing.

[...It's a start.

When they get back to Lavellan, he waves his free arm to get his attention, as if he needs any help when Lavellan is concerned.]

Lavellaaan. I hope you didn't miss me. Us. Hope you didn't miss us.

[It's true, neither Kanesada nor Masamune need to try very hard to get Lavellan's attention. And that's on a normal day, when he hasn't been standing over here trying not to worry about the two of them this entire time. Trying not to be stupidly jealous, or feel left out... or wonder if they're fighting, perhaps? Or hell, trading a recipe for all he knows.

He smiles, as usual, as Kanesada approaches.]

I can't imagine not missing you when you're away. Though... is everything all right? [He glances between the two of them, trying to read their expressions.] No trouble, I hope?

Everything's fine! Just a little something we needed to sort out, don't worry your pretty head over it. Now which ones are you buying?

[They're not fighting, Lavellan, this is how they communicate, seriously.]

Oh, and can we stop on the other side of the market too? I'm going to need ingredients. I don't think I have enough left back at the cabin for three people.

[Yeah. Perfect. Let Masamune deal with the excuses while Kanesada himself just smiles and charms Lavellan to distraction.

See? Teamwork. Kanesada can actually play along when it's necessary.

He moves to stand behind Lavellan and wraps his arms around the elf's waist, resting his chin on the other man's shoulder.]

Yeah, which ones did you pick out?

[This part is easy, playing the one content to be doted upon. It's what he had been doing in the first place, so of course he can easily slip back into the role. And it should help convince Lavellan not to worry about anything.

But, again, Masamune gives him another opening to work with.]

Oh, yeah. Masamune's gonna feed us, so I hope you didn't have any plans later.

[He pauses, lowering his voice as he speaks closer to Lavellan's ear.]

...You didn't have any plans later, did you?

[He trusts them, both of them, but he's still not entirely convinced there isn't something wrong. Why would they need to chat privately, out of earshot, otherwise? Why did Kanesada look so unhappy in the middle of their conversation when Lavellan had managed to sneak a peek at them?

Maybe he's just too much a worrier. They're both smiling, and Kanesada--

Lavellan's heart skips a beat as the sword-spirit's arms wrap around him. Any amount of contact with the pretty sword, any chance to be close to him, makes the elf's heart flutter like he's a lovestruck teenager again. He can't help it, and he's not sure he'd want to change it if he could.]

The-- the red and a few others.

[The little parcel in his hands may have more like three or four new pretties in it. He may have noted which ones Kanesada was lingering on earlier and purchased those as well, in addition to the one they'd been looking at together.

The idea of taking a meal with the two of them is a pleasant one--is that what they'd been plotting, then?--and it isn't as if Lavellan's in any position to argue. As soon as Kanesada starts purring in his ear he's putty in the other man's hands. A small shiver runs down his spine and he sucks in a sharp breath.]

I.... No, nothing pressing. I was rather hoping I could convince you to try on some of your new things, though.

You spoil him too much, Llan-chan.

[Masamune teases with a smile. He does think lavellan probably spoils Kanesada a bit too much, but in the end if they both like it...]

Tell you what, you can play with his hair while I cook dinner. I don't think either of you can help in the kitchen anyway so...

[So he gets to cook for two of his favorite people while watching those same two people be cute with each other. That sounds like a good way to start the evening given what he has in mind afterwards.

And then, guess who's reaching out to tease the side of those ears with his fingers.]

You've never wanted to pierce your ears, Llan-chan?

[It's almost too easy to get Lavellan to cooperate, but at the same time it's always flattering to hear him lose his composure just because Kanesada exists in his vicinity. If they were back on the station right now, he'd probably be bolder, continue teasing him to get more reactions, but he doesn't want to draw the ire of these planet-dwellers without good reason. So he contains himself and just continues resting his head on Lavellan's shoulder.]

He spoils me just the right amount.

[Okay, Masamune has a good idea, too. Kanesada smiles, the happiness evident in his voice.]

Mm, yeah, you're really good with my hair. I can model all these combs for you, too! This works out perfectly.
