[ and just then he might be thinking finally. finally she's stopped. he's free.

Robin's getting pictures now ]

[offshoots]

[Ibaraki has a lot of questions regarding Robin's phone. which won't stop making noise. his irritation rises with each bell chime. he can't take it anymore. he just needs to tell her to sTOP TEXTING OR HE'S BLOCKING HER NUMBER. he opens his phone angrily and there's a picture instead of eggplant emoji. it catches him off-guard. ah... well. that's. definitely a little sexier than eggplants and sparkles.] Don't you ever let up?

[ludia]

[ nope! ]

[ludia]

[ and now. the big guns. ]

i thought u had fun time last time...... :C

[offshoots]

[this is both an improvement but also worse. he never noticed how green her eyes are... Robin knows he's being manipulated with that line (and the pictures) but god damn it, it works.] I told you. I'm busy right now. And I'm not gonna come to your every beck and call, whenever you want me. Are you telling me if I had contacted you with peach and tree emojis you would rush over?

1/3

[ludia]

NO but that's why i am the emperor

i bet if iberekri asked u to come u would!!!!

2/3

[ludia]

*ibearaki

3/3

[ludia]

*ibaraki???

[offshoots]

[well. he actually cracks a small grin at her typoes. doesn't last.] I didn't have a choice with her. She found me and started dragging me down the halls. You found me in the tree too, remember?

[ludia]

oh so are u one of those ppl that can only be turned on if theyre beaten up first?

[offshoots]

NO!!! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.

[ludia]

so then how can u b 2 busy to come b with me but u can answer all my messages???

do u just not want to see me?? 😢

[offshoots]

Because I'm good at multi-tasking. [her crying is FAKE. the answer, nero, is because he's 100% avoiding her.] That's not it.

[ludia]

[ how does he know if he won't see her?!? ]

i know you are👌👌

[ and then BAM back to selfies ]

[offshoots]

[it makes him feel better. like her praise should but he just gets embarrassed about it, throwing a glance at Ibaraki. she's more preoccupied with the burger she's eating. what does he do? is it really a fuck buddy all she wants? he's been worse things... it's not like he can't get the feel of her out of his head, either. that's why he's been staying away.] Can't I just meet you in a storage shed?

[ludia]

[ it's worse than wrestling a lion, she swears.

but there are a lot of dusty numbers Nero could be spamming ]

what do you have against pillows?? these are really comfy!

does it have to be smelly and dirty for u?

[offshoots]

Haha, very funny. [it's because it's her room.] Knowing you, I'm sure they're the most comfortable pillows any man could have and that's where you get aaaall your beauty rest. [that's not the problem, though. god. he can't believe he's doing this. again.] I'll be there in 5.

[ and then she scurries away from where she's been peeking through the kitchen door. ]

[offshoots]

[emojis again.... after making sure Ibaraki didn't choke on her food like some overlyfussy, overprotective big brother he keeps his word. he considers making her wait five more hours -- just because he hadn't been specific if he meant minutes or more. (and Nero didn't ask, either.) but figures she might explode into a shower of rose petals if he took it that far. somewhere around five minutes later, there's a knock on her door. or what he thinks is her door. he's arrived in far more casual clothing than what he normally wears. a loose green sweater covers his shoulders and torso. well-fit jeans and brown boots for his legs. the look is really complete with the frat boy rings on his fingers and a half-burnt down cigarette perched on his lips. he sends a quick message as he leans against the door.] I'm here. Open up.
