[Jesper takes a moment to come to the door, still feeling the emotional punch of the call with Kaz. Things like that made you tired down to your bones, to the point of not wanting to attempt a damn thing.

But the door does, eventually, swing open--]

Noah?

[enoderedrum]

I’m an ass. I told him to call you cause we both wanted you there. I’m sorry it was so early. Or late. And that we woke you up. We didn’t have sex. That’s your job.

[ he lowers the bag and holds it out more appropriately. ]

Hot pancakes, already buttered, syrup is on the side. Please don’t be upset.

[triggerguard]

[Jesper is left blinking, a bit owlishly, at the offering. That was--well it was a lot, in the span of a few minutes. But there's something--and it earns a bit of a snort. Probably the closest to a laugh he'll get over the whole situation.]

'That's my job'? [He sighs, shaking his head as he leans against the open door jam.]

A bit late. On the upset part...I called Kaz.

[enoderedrum]

[ His shoulders slump and he sighs. ]

I’m sorry. And yeah. Your job. Your his…you’re basically his boyfriend. Sex is something between you two. I mean…I’d like in on it eventually….okay not the point. My point is….that’s something for you two. Sex. It can’t be left as him and K. It needs to be replaced by someone that means something to him. I should stop talking. It’s still early. I’m sorry.

[triggerguard]

Noah. [He tries to cut in after the boyfriend comment. Because he was not, as far as he knows. As far as he's concerned. Boy, yes. Friend, yes. Boyfriend? Nope.]

Noah. [He tries again, but he keeps going--and this time Jesper does laugh, just at how ridiculous this all is. He waits, after that last murmur of sorry, a beat to see if he was truly done.] You're fine. It's fine. We'll be fine.

[enoderedrum]

[ you know the way puss in boots does the eyes? Enjoy that, Jesper. ]

Promise?

[triggerguard]

All Saints...[He mutters. Because he's weak. Because he's already given that promise once today. Because Noah is making those goddamn eyes.]

Yes. I promise.

[enoderedrum]

[ RELIEF. You know what that means, right?

Right?

He sets the bag of food inside on the floor and tugs Jesper down for a kiss cause hugs aren’t enough okay? They’re not. ]

Also, while this is tmi and probably not going to help with the upset, I feel like it’s vital to know and I like giving you a heads up when it comes to Kaz. He’s insatiable and bolder than usual. Good luck. I think you’ll enjoy it but I’m just saying. He’s kind of a brat when he doesn’t have any clothes on.

[triggerguard]

[Honestly, the kiss shouldn't have been the surprise it was. But here he is, for the second time in the span of a handful of minutes, blinking down at Noah. And then he opens his mouth--]

Saints, Noah. [It would have been funny, if things weren't so raw.

Okay, still a little funny.]

[enoderedrum]

Okay! I'm Sorry! Eat your 'I'm really sorry for being an ass' breakfast and...maybe text me later that you still love me? Yeah? Cool.

[ he smiles and just....leaves. As quickly as possible. ]

[triggerguard]

I--Wait. [Aaaand he's gone. Because of course he is. Jesper just sighs, picks up the pancakes and shuts the door.

And if he sneaks a bite before actually sitting down to eat them? Well, they are damn good pancakes.]

[enoderedrum]

Hey. How do you feel about kidnapping?

[triggerguard]

Usually thankless and annoying.

Does our possible captive sing? Please say no?

[enoderedrum]

I hope not. No, we are going to find one of the Veiled Order guys that are roaming around and Kaz is going to try and get some information from them.

[ a pause. ]

Maybe ask about the dragons. Also, does Wy wanna come? And does he know anything about acid cause….I don’t want to melt my hand off.

[triggerguard]

I'm going to guess this was Kaz's idea? [Because he was the bastard crazy enough to consider it.] I talked to one of them on the border of Hellburbia.

[Not that it gave him much.]

Considering this kind of suicide mission bullshit would mean Wy has to know, I'll talk to him. And acid? Oh yeah, he definitely knows his way around that. You'll want to hash out the specifics with him.

[enoderedrum]

Yep.

[ he smirks softly. ]

Of course you did. Well. We’ll find a different one to nab. Maybe two.

Mm. Just tell him I want to return the favor to what they did to me.

[triggerguard]

They didn't give much...Touched the tattoo I was given, said I'd be in a position of "privilege" when the true ruler of Hell was installed...And that it won't be much longer until...something happens.

[He huffs, and then looks a bit guilty.]

Haven't told Kaz any of that yet. They touched it--the mark.

[enoderedrum]

Privilege...
[ he sighs heavily... ]
These damn people. Things. Whatever they are.

...

How come you didn't tell Kaz? What happened when they touched it?

[triggerguard]

Their skin felt like paper. Not sure if that helps you figure out a damn thing about them outside of putting another count in the "creepy beyond reason" column.

[A frown, a thought.]
Couldn't tell him when it happened because he was in the mind-warp hellhole. Didn't want to tell him after because he just got out of that mess.

...Nothing. Just felt off and weird. I think one of them started to cry.

[enoderedrum]

🍪?

[triggerguard]

Are you asking if I want one, or to make them?

[enoderedrum]

I made too many.
Do you want some?

[triggerguard]

I will never turn down free food. For the record.

You coming to mine? Or am I meeting you somewhere?

[enoderedrum]

I don’t even have a mine anymore. Lol (I miss my kitchen and my bed. I’m jealous.)

I’ll come to yours.

[triggerguard]

You'll get it back...What kitchen did you use?

[Does he trust the hotel kitchens? Absolutely not.]

Doors open. If you have enough, I can hand some off to Wy and Kaz.
