It's amazing that even though I'm well versed in my own face, I can see you behind it in the little things. [ The coffee. ] It makes it far less strange.

[ At least for now. He's also trying to be sensitive here.

He's holding out his free hand towards Kaine's (Lotor's). ]

[markofkaine]

[You know, that strangely does make him feel a little better. Knowing he still comes through as himself.]

I'll be sure to look extra cranky. As a personal touch.

[...Takes hand]

[alienation]

[ Threading his fingers through what feels like his own hand, at least, doesn't feel too weird. ]

Your choice of words is also key.

Thank you for breakfast, by the way.

[markofkaine]

[He is extra ginger with these claws... Not that he's never had claws, but he's especially aware of them right now.]

Not too sweet?

[alienation]

It's perfect.

[ He's spooning up more and then holding it out to Kaine, a horribly evil thought in mind.

It'd be cuter if it was his normal face but this'll do. ]

[markofkaine]

What are you doing.

[alienation]

What do you suppose I am doing?

[markofkaine]

I already ate.

[alienation]

You won't humour me even a little?

[markofkaine]

[UUGHHHHHH...]

[alienation]

[ I don't think it's possible for Lotor's face to make cutesy, pleading expressions in this scenario. Kaine only gets this. ]

Is it truly so terrible, my love?

[ He knows the answer. ]

[markofkaine]

[GODDAMMIT. HE USED THE L WORD.

UGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!]

Yes???

[ >:O ]

[alienation]

You've braved sharing a milkshake with me before, surely this is no more difficult.

[ we weren't even officially dating then!!!! ]

[markofkaine]

It's different.

[noms onto the spoon. grumpily.]

[alienation]

[ SUCCESSSSSS man Lotor loves winning and also embarrassed men. ]

Ahaha, even with my face, it is so clearly you behind it. Thank you for indulging me.

[markofkaine]

[HUFFS.]

This is what I get for slaving over those sliced strawberries...

[alienation]

Ah, my beloved Kaine is so tirelessly involved.

[ He's being a little silly, but in a genuine way. Ok he'll have his spoon back. ]

I truly am grateful for this.

[markofkaine]

[hgnfguhg fluster face]

Well... you deserve it.

[alienation]

[ Gently traces the back of his hand with a finger. ]

And you say you're never a gentleman.

[markofkaine]

No... I just want things to be fair.

[alienation]

Did you think it wasn't?

[markofkaine]

I mean...

[YES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME]

I think you're owed more happiness than you got over 10,000 years.

[alienation]

[ Ok sweetie you have a point I am definitely entitled to some niceness, but. ]

You must not realize just how much comfort and joy your love brings me already.

[markofkaine]

Even if I were being real damn self-important, I don't think I make up for ten millennia.

[alienation]

You don't need to. I can... handle my past.
