Very clever. Has anyone ever told you that you're pretty smart? [ Somehow it's clear even over text that this is a joke, everyone knows how smart Red Son is. ]

I'll probably get my head on straight for a while, see how volatile his transformation thing is. The only thing worse than hiding things would be setting that off again. [ Red Son saw Macaque's reaction, he was a mess. Still sort of is. ]

I assume you're not in the same hurry I'm in, but if you wanted to go first I wouldn't argue. Which isn't stalling, I'm just saying it was your idea.

[forgingfires]

Really, people could stand to say it more.

I'm definitely in no hurry myself. Setting him off again would be bad, it'd upset MK and Saya, and then I'd want to fix it, and then I get upset, and that just spirals out of control.

If he'd at least let me scan him, then maybe I'd take the risk. I was able to detect MK's trigger. But I can't do that without his agreement. The thing takes at least at hour. Probably more because of all the stuff he's got going on.

And no, doing it in his sleep isn't a good idea. Dreams would mess with the results.

[castaside]

If only I was in the mood you talk you into bed again, I'm good at making compliments sound really good.

Hm. How's this... I'll figure myself out and do the mushroom thing first, maybe after the full moon so we can make sure nothing is too all over the place for it assumings stay cooled down, then either way after that's done the air will be clear and I'll convince him to let you help. I'm sure that convincing him to be less of a volatile ass is still among my skill set.

If all else fails I'll get him drunk on something with peaches in it, that usually does him in. [ Wukong has his weak points if you know where to push. ]

[forgingfires]

Another time. Maybe I'll wear something extra pretty.

That would be a good idea. The full moon is in a few more days. If Wukong can stay stable throughout the two days with us both likely being in close proximity, then that would be a good sign its not super volatile.

He and I could do quiet around each other before. As long as he agrees, it should be easy enough to do. All he really needs to do is sit there, keep his head clear as possible, and not fight the magic.

Drunk still isn't ideal, but it is better than dreams, at least.

[castaside]

I meant I'll get him drunk to get him to agree, not have him drunk for your scans. He won't be able to go back on his word, it's basic hero BS.

But do tell me more about the pretty thing, I earned a treat.

[forgingfires]

Ah. Fair enough. If it works, it works. And he really does just need to sit still.

I've been looking more into lingerie. I've been looking more into oranges and reds, but I do look rather good in purple. Perhaps something with sturdy straps, good for pulling around.

[castaside]

Is that so? Interesting. I'm sure MK will get a kick out of that, among other things.

[forgingfires]

Oh, I imagine so. He can get surprisingly forceful. At least when he's worked up.

[castaside]

Not surprising. He's like a puppy who realizes how hard he's biting but keeps doing it because now it's a game.

[forgingfires]

A very apt description. I'm rather certain that's half the basis of our friendship.

Him finding the ways to get me angry without it being a lasting anger because he likes setting my hair on fire.

[castaside]

Sigh. I'm such a good person for turning him down, it's truly tragic.

I sure enjoyed setting your hair ablaze, for my part.

[forgingfires]

Its a true show of self restraint, really. Honestly, if he had been bold enough to properly proposition me, we might have figured things out sooner.

It does seem to be a thing people enjoy. I've yet to figure out why. Maybe I just attract pyromaniacs?

[castaside]

It's different. He doesn't have feelings for me. Stakes are lower.

You don't get a kick out of seeing a reaction in someone that you caused? Analogous to a blush or moan or what have you.

[forgingfires]

True. Its a lot easier to agree to a fling then anything to do with actual romance. I wasn't even willing to engage with those feelings for quite a while.

...

Okay, yes, but usually those reactions aren't at risk of causing a house fire.

[castaside]

If someone's thinking about a house fire, you're all doing things wrong.

Besides, you have great control, even when I was melting your brain.

[forgingfires]

Ah, well, there was a nonzero chance I could reforge the Samadhi Fire. So mother was very serious on my ability to control my fire, even during my worst outbursts.

Still, it is infinitely easier with candles.

[castaside]

Has anyone ever told you that your ability to derail a mood with facts is uncanny?

[forgingfires]

No, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

I'll have candles for next time.

Then you can go further with melting my brain without risking the bed.

[castaside]

That sounds well worth the price of admission. Maybe I'll have my truth mushroom conversation over by then and MK can do what he does and be at least four handfuls. Probably could fill all the hands of the clones we could make too.

[forgingfires]

[Excuse that delay because oh, the MK clones and shadow clones.]

That would indeed be a lot of handfuls.

I really will have to get creative to keep up with that. Perhaps silk? Everyone likes unwrapping a pretty present.

[castaside]

[ His brain fills in what might be happening in that pause. Some fiery hair, perhaps? ]

Silk with lots of ties or lacing, maybe. We can take our time unraveling.

[forgingfires]

[There was so much fire, there is soot on his ceiling.]

Could make a whole game of it. Several ribbons that have to be undone in a certain order. I rather suspect you'd need to help MK be patience. Reward him when he doesn't rush too much maybe.

[castaside]

I have a policy to make a game of whatever I can.

Helping him be patient won't be a problem. My shadows will hold him, distract him. If he won't be still, I'll have to distract him, won't I?

[forgingfires]

Oh, definitely. He could end up leaving the thing in knots and then where would we be?

If he can't be good, he'd just need a lesson on how best to be patient. Some helpful visual aids.

[castaside]

Untying you, of course. Or maybe ripping that pretty silk off you. Inch by inch.

Well, he does rely on me to teach him things.
