[ Zelos pops out from behind Reyna's shoulder like the worlds most annoying jack-in-the-box ]
You're not really going to throw me out into the cold darkness of what might potentially be murder night, are ya' big guy? I mean, you kind of owe me for almost killing me earlier.
[ He's talking about the confetti-in-mouth-snowcone-down incident, obviously. ]
I didn't almost kill you. Don't exaggerate so much. It was confetti.
[ EYE. FUCKING. ROLL. waver doesn't look happy at all to be around, but there's nothing that can be done. he may look grumpy, but he wouldn't let zelos stay outside. ]
[There is a brief moment, when Zelos outs the fact that she was about to try and sneak out after curfew, during which Reyna's expression turns downright murderous. If not for Waver getting snarky with him, she might have ripped his head off right then and there.
She's about to say something else, but then he talks about their sleeping arrangements, and she shakes her head immediately.]
Zelos can have the bed. I'm not sharing with him; I'll take the floor too.
[ Zelos balks for a moment, truly amazed by the concentration of stubbornness in this room. He frowns at Waver, then at Reyna, and finally his gaze turns to Aurum, and he speaks to the dog and only the dog— ]
You really live like this? With this? Put me out of my misery pooch.
[ Boy this is gonna be some kind of night. Anyway Zelos pushes past the both of them, grabbing a spare pillow and settling himself on a comfy corner on the floor. ]
Forget it, you both sleep on the bed or no one sleeps on the bed. We all happy now?
[ aka he definitely caught reyna giving zelos the death glare and waver may have to ask about that on a later date. maybe not. but hey, if zelos wants to sleep on the floor, then waver's not going to contest that. ]
Do what you want, then. I have no issue. [ he turns to his partner ] What is your opinion?
and waver rolls his eyes over....basically everything that zelos says. god, he wishes that zelos could just shut up. besides, he used to be a good student...until he fucked off to a war that made and ruined his life at the same time. but that is NOT the point!! ]
Do you ever stop spouting nonsense or are you just a constant fountain of it? If so, I'll lock you in the bathroom.
[Reyna's expression flickers at the word grounded, and one of her hands balls into a fist. She presses her lips together into a thin line to refrain from saying something she'll regret.]
[ waver is this close to throwing a pillow at zelos' head, but has to resist. he's a mature el-melloi that shouldn't fall to the level of some idiot that won't stop talking.
but damn it's tempting.
instead, he'll flop down next to reyna, just as exhausted. ]
I can pinpoint the cause of my current headache to be that guy's fault.

prologue - thursday evening, after curfew;
Hey. [She thumbs over her shoulder at Zelos.] He was still hanging around when curfew hit.
Is it okay with you if he stays with us?

Either way, I don't mind. Just don't be a bother.
no subject
I'll take the floor tonight. The two of you can share the bed.
[she doesn't want to share a bed with zelos and she doesn't want to deal with his commentary if she shares with waver but not him]
no subject
[ What is this combination of personalities.
God Sanji's the welcome wagon compared to these two. ]
You two can keep your sleeping arrangements as is. I'm the one intruding after all— I'll take the floor.
[ See, he can be polite sometimes.
Except, he turns to over. ]
Though, aside from almost killing me—
[ Yeah he's not letting that go ]
— you double owe me, since I kept your partner from getting murdered tonight. So I dunno' maybe I deserve the whole bed at this rate, just a thought!
no subject
[ and waver's being just as grumpy too, scowling at zelos. however-- ]
Take the bed with Miss Reyna. [ he rolls his eyes, getting off the mattress to give zelos some space ] Maybe Aurum will eat your feet as you sleep.

no subject
I don't care, as long as we get some sleep.
[They're going to need their strength for whatever tomorrow might bring — at least that's the feeling she gets.
And then, more quietly, under her breath:]
...gods, I hate being locked into my room.
no subject
I can already tell you none of us are getting any sleep, and not for any worthwhile reasons.
[ (worth while reasons: getting laid)
Because who the hell is going to sleep on murder night? ]
What— were you never grounded as a kid? Just think of it like that.
[ He pauses, and looks between his two human companions. ]
Then again, you both strike me as the goodie-two-shoes type so never mind. You probably don't know what that's like.
no subject

1/2
2/2
[Her voice is dry.]
We could always just knock him out.
no subject
[ Zelos gets nice and comfortable on the floor thanks, sprawled out on his side with his head propped up on his palm. ]
Don't tell me I'm going to have to go over my safewords and limits twice in one week. Then again, this wouldn't be a proper slumber party otherwise.
[ man people in this castle are freaks!! ]
no subject
[ HE'S HAD ENOUGH OF ZELOS' BULLSHIT AND IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN FIVE MINUTES ]
We cannot hurt him. If we do, he'll be crying about it to everyone in the castle. It's best if we ignore him.
no subject
This castle is giving me a headache already.
no subject
[ Still not shutting up! The night has only begun and he's BORED ]
Question!
[ He raises his hand like he's in a classroom. Of course, he talks without being called on though. ]
Do you two actually converse? Or is it more like you just sit across from each other and have frown-offs?
no subject
but damn it's tempting.
instead, he'll flop down next to reyna, just as exhausted. ]
I can pinpoint the cause of my current headache to be that guy's fault.
no subject
We have plenty of conversations when people aren't giving us things to frown about, Zelos.
[f r o w n s
and then, more quietly, to waver -]
...it's really my fault he's here, so I apologize.
