So, I was told to say this, and normally I wouldn't, but it looks like I've been virused and can't help it. They didn't say anything about mentioning the circumstances beforehand, though.

Ahem.

My name is Ryudo Issei, and Tohsaka Rin had better class grades than me.

[starofchaos]

...yes. True. I will be there shortly.

Voice

[unknownrival]

I'll be in the living room. [No need to make this more awkward than it has to be.]

Action

[starofchaos]

[Indeed. Regardless, in a moment or two, Louis is there. Outwardly he seems mostly relaxed. Mostly. There is a slight awkwardness about him for once. He's not sure how to deal with these weird feelings.]

It is appropriate to say "thank you for having me", is it not?

Action

[unknownrival]

It is appropriate. I'm glad you came.

[And he is promptly getting hugged.

Issei gives great hugs.]

Action

[starofchaos]

[God bless-, uh. This whole thing is awkward when you're a demon. But yessss, this is much better.]

Would this be more comfortable for you if I were younger?

[He may or may not be cuddling.]

Action

[unknownrival]

I don't mind much either way as long as you don't turn into a woman.

Action

[starofchaos]

...I will admit to being a little curious as to what you have against hugging women.

Action

[unknownrival]

It's not obvious?

Action

[starofchaos]

That you're more homosexual than the entire England Rugby team?

No, not really.

Action

[unknownrival]

I will have you know that I have dated women. ...while virused. But still, multiple women!

Action

[starofchaos]

That was a joke, of course. Far be it for me to insult my host.

Action

[unknownrival]

You jerk.

[Snuggle.]

Action

[starofchaos]

Of course. [Cuddle. ...this is embarrassing. Perhaps he should not jokingly insult the one who knows this information.]

My apologies

Action

[unknownrival]

It's alright. I've heard the jokes more times than I could possibly count.

Action

[starofchaos]

You seem to have developed a remarkably thick skin. ...quite apart from the obvious.

Action

[unknownrival]

It's a helpful kind of trait.

Action

[starofchaos]

[He nuzzles a little, looking embarrassed, but otherwise relaxed.]

Indeed. Especially among humans.

Action

[unknownrival]

I hope to refine it in the many, many years to come. It still needs some work.

Action

[starofchaos]

Is that truly what you wish? If you attempt to shut out all that is bad in the world, how can you appreciate all that is not?

Action

[unknownrival]

I don't wish to shut out everything that is bad in the world. I just want to not let everything people say about me get to me.

Action

[starofchaos]

Ah. My misunderstanding. I should have known you were not that type.

Action

[unknownrival]

You know a lot of things, you can be forgiven for misunderstanding some.

Action

[starofchaos]

People can still confuse me at times. Many people seek to avoid troubles and shut them out, and thus avoid the rest of the world. Others yet embrace troubles and blame themselves for being unable to handle them. Such oddities.

Action

[unknownrival]

I don't think anyone understands people no matter how old they get.

Action

[starofchaos]

I doubt even He does. [Grumpy snuggle.]

I still intend to try.
