[ A pause, as he glances down, his wrists still in Ardyn's grip. They are quite the sight, aren't they? It's probably a good thing they're off where no one can find them. ]
Are you like to let go at some point, or has the game begun now?
That is true. Are you going to demand my attentions, then on a whim, decide that you want nothing to do with me? Are you going to flick your tail angrily every time I call your name?
Dear me, I don't think a man such as myself can take it.
Now, now. There’s no need to get carried away. You’ve had far longer to practice at being difficult than I, and my fragile ego will not be able to handle being outdone.
Oh, that was all. I just wished to see if it worked, and I’m glad it has without leaving an Ardyn-shaped crater in the wall.
[ If anyone could handle being tossed around, it was probably Ardyn, but X’rhun has no desire to actually hurt him just because he knows he can’t be hurt. He’s not that cruel. ]
Thank you, for being my unwitting test subject and for the visit both.
no subject
Prompto? Oh, but imagine the look on his face.
[AKA utterly horrified.]
no subject
[ Nobody wants to think of their not!dad banging anybody, let alone banging their greatest enemy. ]
no subject
[It’s not like Ardyn hasn’t traumatized Prompto before, but… well, not exactly in this way.
Still. He’s shameless and couldn’t care less who knows, but if X’rhun wishes for him to say nothing, then he shall be discreet.]
Then consider it our little secret for now.

No, we don’t have to play right now.
[His shoulders rise a bit with subtle laughter, teasingly.]
Unless you’re that eager to begin.
no subject
[ He says it with a roll of his eyes, teasing right back. ]
no subject
[He could tease all day, honestly, if you let him. Please don’t let him.]
no subject
[ Ardyn pls. ]
no subject
Someone changes their tune rather quickly. How fickle of you.
[X'rhun's made his bed, he's gonna have to learn to sleep in it.]
no subject
[ Oh, he's aware. And he's actually quite enjoying the banter. It's almost comforting in its familiarity. ]

[ Someone stop this. ]

I look forward to it, since you’re so confident. But remember, I’m quite skilled at breaking things. It’s not too late to change your mind you know.

[And that will forever be the answer.]
But I think we're getting ahead of ourselves. Might as well leave a little mystery in the air between us for now.
no subject
But of course. Gods forbid I deprive you of your mystery.
no subject
It is but one of my many merits, but it would still be a shame to lose it.
[He just grins. X'rhun can decide whether or not that's reassuring.]
Now then, did you have any other surprise bouts of magic to toss my way? Or were you quite finished with all of that?

[He grins, wide and crooked, then steps backwards.]
I'll see you again soon, X'rhun. Whether it's another visit, or we stumble across each other again -- either way, it's inevitable. How exciting.
[That seems to be the end of it, then, judging by the way that he’ll be on his merry way, punctuated by a little wave. Until later, dadcat.]
