[he takes the better part of five minutes to reply because he internally panics a little bit because what was he checking on??? does he know about the fucking marble? does he know if maybe yingxing got affected by some weird punishment shit? Wait what if Brocade was affected by some weird punishment shit. Should he even tell Brocade about feeling really horrible Concerned about this entire ship? Is that something he can say? Can he ask for a hug? Would that be weird? What did he expect from Yingxing anyway?]

Where are you

[ THAT'S SUCH A LONG FIVE MINUTES? Is he really okay? Did his brain get totally fried by a marble? Is he with someone else right now and just you know, tied up??

It's a relief when the message pops up.]

took a break in the conference room
i wont move til u get here

K

[It doesn't take long before Yingxing finds him; he looks a little rumpled, like he'd just woken up from a nap.

He also looks vaguely surprised to see Brocade there.]

Wow. You really didn't move huh?

[ There's a collar wrapped around his neck, and little red marks where he's tried to pull it off. The tag says Bad at Directions. ]

Yeah, if I had, who knows where I woulda ended up.

Babe, it's good to see you. I didn't wake you up?

I was already up for a bit, don't w-

[He literally stops and stares at the collar, and stalks close to squint at the tag. His ears might be a little red.]

You got hit with this shit too?

Yeeeeeeeep. THAT AND THEN SOME. Bro I can't like, say anything I don't like 100% mean.

Do you know how much joking around involves bein' a shit? It's a lot.

Chiffon told me you guys lied in the icebreaker.

[He dips close to steal his Mandatory Kiss Thanks, before backing away right up against the opposite side of the conference room.]

C'mere.

[It's a straight line surely being bad at directions isn't that bad.]

[ Oh that's nice. It's a cute kiss and too brief. And that scent of Velveteen makes a few things click into place-

But - Lithium will get to see that quick moment of panic and frustration as the room sort of spins for him.

It takes him a moment to find Yingxing again amidst walls that look entirely the same, and oddly like he has never seen them, much less been sitting here the last half an hour. ]

Sure, sure.

[ To Cade, he walks right towards Yingxing.

From outside, he turns, resolute and confident, starts walking towards the door.]

[Is he fucking with Yingxing or--

He darts forward to catch him by the wrist just before he runs into the door.]

It's a straight line! [Pause.] Look to your right.

IT SEEMED STRAIGHT TO ME TOO!

[ Okay Cade, it's a 50-50 chance, you surely can't pick the wrong way to look. ]

That's not right.

[Ok! Grabbing both of his hands and steering him to look at Yingxing.]

Look at me. [He lets go, and takes several steps backwards.] If you come to me I'll get you that fancy lifting belt you told me about last month.

Edited (I CANT DIRECTION IM AFFECTED TOO) 2024-09-01 12:42 (UTC)

The Eliko leather Olympian-class powerlifting belt??!

[ There's no way Yingxing could be joking about this. IT WOULD BE TOO CRUEL. ]

[ He can almost TASTE a new personal best. He'd gotten to the end of what his last could support... ]

[ HE FOCUSES LIKE HE'S NEVER FOCUSED IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE. HE JUST HAS TO GO! HE HAS TO GO FAST! BEFORE THE CURSE CAN MESS SHIT UP! ]

[ Yeah it's like 45 degrees off, GOODBYEEEEEEE ]

[There's a long silence, where Yingxing just watches him veer off course in the ten fucking steps between them.]

That's. Really bad.

[sorry he tries really hard but he can't stop himself from turning away and laughing himself sick straight into hiccuping]

[ He's in one of the conference rooms now which luckily only has one door. The trouble is, he can't find it. ALL OF THE WALLS LOOK THE SAME.

BUT HE CAN HEAR YOU, MOTHERFUCKER. ]

HEY!!!

You're so screwed.

[He approaches Cade from the side and

Threads their fingers together.]

I'm here, I'm here. Sorry, this is so fucking funny. How did you even manage to get into this room without walking overboard?

Because there are railings!!

[ Oh. Oh that hand holding is everything. There's a sudden impulse that he doesn't want to lose Yingxing again.

So he just acts on it.

It's a rather smooth motion, at least. Between Brocade sitting down and dragging the other man onto his lap.]
