This is X'rhun Tia. I have been informed that the purpose of this "voicemail" is for the caller to leave me a message. Please feel free to do so.

...Now if only I knew how to retrieve these messages.

[Well, he's silent while he watches -- not without appreciation, of course. As X'rhun slips one of the red shirts over his head, Ardyn crosses his arms over his chest.

He pretends to give his question a long moment of consideration, as if the answer wasn't already abundantly clear.]

Hmm. Well, it certainly seems to fit. It's good to know that my memory regarding the general size of your... form did not fail me.

[verflair]

You spent a good while acquainting yourself with it recently, so I'm not surprised.

[ He flicks his ears, amused over his own joke. ]

Thank you, my friend.

[daemonized]

[There's certainly no dearth of amusement in Ardyn's expression. ]

Oh, you're more than welcome. And it's as I said -- it presents a solution to something that had been a lingering problem before.

[verflair]

Oh, once is a lingering problem, is it? If you'd give me a little warning next time, I'm certain I can dress appropriately.

[ This is a comfortable shirt, though. He'll keep it on for the time being. ]

[daemonized]

Even if it happened only once, the problem remained until now. And thus, lingering.

[Ardyn and his annoying semantics.]

You're not done, you know. You still have to prove to me you can remove it with haste.

[verflair]

[ Ardyn, please. X’rhun’s eyes are going to roll right out of his head at this rate. ]

You are incorrigible. All this fuss just to see me half naked.

[ But rather than argue, he tugs the shirt off again, easy as you please. ]

Ta-da!

[daemonized]

[Forever shameless, Ardyn doesn't care if he's being ridiculous.]

Perfect. See? No buckles or buttons or anything getting in the way. Aren't you touched by how thoughtful I am?

[Also he gets to enjoy the view, so. Bonus.]

[verflair]

Oh, but of course. It warms my heart knowing you put such careful thought in how best to see me disrobe.

[ He then takes the shirt in his hand and… chucks it at Ardyn’s head, tail waving frantically with amusement even as he says, ]

You are awful.

[daemonized]

[wow RUDE???

The shirt lands quite neatly on top of his head, obscuring his face for a hilarious moment. Ardyn reaches up to remove it, fingers in soft new cloth, leaving his hair even more of a mess than it usually is once he finally frees himself.

He's hardly offended, only grinning widely. Even as being called 'awful' is flung at him moments later.]

Is this how you show your gratitude? Literally throwing my gifts to you back in my face?

[verflair]

[ He hadn’t expected Ardyn to just let the shirt hit him – the man can teleport, after all – so the result is quite comical indeed. X’rhun is already grinning, but now his expression cracks wide open, teeth flashing. ]

This is how I scold you. Don’t think I haven’t noticed your ogling.

[daemonized]

[Ardyn feigns absolute, utter surprise... even as he tosses the shirt haphazardly back at his friend, right at his face.]

I do not ogle, like some lecherous soul. I'm simply making sure all is as it ought to be.

[verflair]

[ X'rhun isn't as good a sport about the shirt throwing as Ardyn, and snatches it out of the air before it can hit him. ]

Oh, but you do, and you are. You've been enjoying the view from the moment I undid my buttons.

[ No more ogling for you, sir! He tugs the t-shirt back over his head, so there! ]

[daemonized]

[And at that, he has to let out an audible laugh. What a shame X’rhun is putting his shirt back on, but he supposes he did buy it so it could be worn.]

Please. Acting as if you don’t enjoy the way my eyes slide across you. I know better than that.

[So much for not being lecherous.]

[verflair]

Excuse you, I’ll have you know I take no such enjoyment under the gaze of a terrible man such as yourself.

[ That is such a lie. He didn’t even try all that hard to hide it. ]

[daemonized]

Is that so?

[A hand to his chest, in a dramatic gesture of being both hurt and resigned.]

Then I can stop appreciating your form, from here on out, if it makes you so uncomfortable.

[verflair]

[ He laughs. ]

Anything but that. My poor ego needs the stroking, even if you are horrible.

[daemonized]

I see. Good to know that you place your ego above your sense of decency.

[He could have made a joke about stroking here, but Ardyn will hold his tongue this time. Maybe.]

[verflair]

I am but a man of simple needs.

[ He's a little disappointed at the lack of a joke, to be honest. He set it up so nicely and everything! ]

[daemonized]

May it be that I am always able to fulfill them.

[Maybe next time, friend.]

Just how needy are you feeling right this moment?

[verflair]

[ Ah, alas. Maybe next time indeed. ]

Hm. Difficult to say. How generous are you yourself feeling?

[daemonized]

Mm. For you? Quite so.

[His smile is teasing.]

I did come bearing gifts, after all.

[verflair]

Yes, well, speaking of, I realize you've yet to put your little present to the test yourself.

But only if you feel so inclined.

[daemonized]

I think I do.

[Feel inclined, that is. He steps forward, hands moving to the bottom edges of X'rhun's new shirt.]

Think I can be swifter about it?

[verflair]

I don’t know. I suppose we’ll see, won’t we?

[ He grins up at Ardyn, keeping his arms loose at his sides for now. ]

Just take care not to rip it, hm? It was a gift.

[daemonized]

I'll do my best.

[-he says with a glimmer in his eyes. X'rhun can keep his arms as loose or stiff as he likes, it'll certainly not matter. Because Ardyn activates that magic of his, literally making his friend's shirt disappear from his body in the usual crystalline display.]
