Yes, I am aware and am willing to learn and improve if that will make it more pleasant.

[ Granted, it might not matter if they're too both busy losing their minds again. At that point, any physical contact feels better than none at all, and the line between pleasure and pain dissolves completely. ]

You are also not...unideal to me in terms of appearance even if your wardrobe could use extra pressing. That is to say, I did not find our previous entanglement to be at all unpleasant.

[sorte]

...Mm, I'll teach you, then. I'm sure it'll be more enjoyable for you, also, with your confidence in tact. [ there's something terribly playful in his tone now, but only because he's a bit charmed by Sunday's attempts to approach this all so head on.

There's a soft thoughtful hum on his end, then, before adding a bit quieter: ]

... Besides, you did mention tying you up before. How could I deprive you of the experience~?

[regulate]

[ A surge of heat moves through their tether before Sunday can clamp down on it. He's extra glad Aventurine can't see him at the moment. ]

I appreciate it, though there is no need to rush to...restraints so quickly. I am certain there are some acts you enjoy as well, and I would not mind accommodating your preferences rather than solely mine.

[sorte]

[ ehee~ ]

Oh? They're my chains, afterall. Who says such things aren't among my preferences?

[regulate]

In that case, it would be remiss not to try it at least once just to see, though preferably in a corner of the hotel far from the other rooms. These walls are not as well insulated as I would like.

[sorte]

Mm, of course. There are quite a few rooms for us that will fit that criteria.

[regulate]

[ He's got more wings covering his face than he thought possible. ]

I am glad we sorted that out and reached a mutually beneficial agreement for now. If there are any other issues you come across, you are still welcome to reach out. I am unsure if there are any physical threats also lurking about. I have yet to come across any myself.

[sorte]

—Are you coming to see the piano now?

[ he's worked all month trying to get you nice keys that aren't cracked or outright broken, and he's gonna make sure Sunday knows he did this nice thing trying to nice to him. ]

[regulate]

Yes, I will tune it properly and fix whatever else needs to be fixed. Then, I could at least provide the other guests some entertainment. It may even help keep them distracted from Sleep's influence.

[sorte]

...Just come see the nice thing I did for you, already.

[regulate]

...Oh. You did not have to.

[ Sending a new surge of flustered energy. ]

But I will make my way there now if you wish. I will see you soon.

[sorte]

[ yes, good! There's a prick of proud happiness at his doings being acknowledged because, yup, wants to be noticed even when it's by the person already having a conversation with him. ]

Perfect.

[regulate]

[ That is peak cat behavior, but Sunday will not comment on it as he makes his way to where the piano is, pausing to look for Aventurine. ]

I am here like you asked.

[sorte]

There you are.

[ Aventurine is leaning on the piano to the point he might as well just start lying on it. He straightens up quickly though and goes over to Sunday, taking his arm gingerly and tugging him back towards the piano with a bit of excitement. ]

Look, I got you all new keys. No more cracked and broken

[regulate]

[ His eyes widen slightly as he follows along examines the piano more closely, his fingers stroking over the keys. ]

It feels almost like real ivory.

[ He pushes down one key before flinching. ]

Yes, the sound needs a bit of work, and I am sure the interior also needs care. However, this is a good start. Thank you.

[sorte]

[ twitches a little at the sound himself, but eh he's not gonna worry about it. Sunday will feel a gentle wave of brief happiness at the thank you. Aventurine is very proud of himself for doing something nice for someone, yep. ]

I'll take you to look for more supplies if we need replacements since you know the pieces better.

[regulate]

Alright, please let me know when you plan to travel to the nearest music school, or we might find a store if we are fortunate enough. Regardless, I can start on some repairs if you have a screwdriver handy.

[ Mostly to clean the insides of the piano... ]

[sorte]

[ pulls one out of his pocket actually since he had to use it to screw the new keys in. ]

Let me know if this one works.

[regulate]

[ Sadly he is not the type to make a "Is that a screwdriver in your pocket, or are you happy to see me" joke, so he'll just politely accept the screwdriver. ]

Thank you. I will tinker around with it for a while, though I doubt you wish to sit and watch the whole time, so I can send you a message when I am finished.

[sorte]

[ gotta get a bag jokes and pickup lines book for sunnyboy.

also, he's 1000% gonna stay and watch. ]

You underestimate the power of boredom.

[regulate]

How about I rephrase that– if you stay, you are going to help me clean this piano from top to bottom. Would that cure or exacerbate your boredom?

[sorte]

[ ...


...oh. ew. ]

...Well, think I'll just go and heat up some more carrots.

[regulate]

I thought so. I will find you later when it is ready.

[sorte]

[ fine fine, he's leaving Sunday alone now, waving over his shoulder as he goes. ]

Until then.
