[Archer knows this kind of smirk and is aware it spells trouble. After all, Caster won't make it easy, that's the part of his charm and one of his most irritating features. It's a pleasant surprise when Caster doesn't make a fuss and just gets as close as possible.]

Is everything supposed to be a challenge? [he counters with a hint of smirk. It's oddly nice to ignore everything and just sway to the rhythm with a good companion, or rather someone as close to a friend and more as Archer considers.]

[ Maybe it does, maybe it does not- he hadn't got the idea how to ruin it gracefully yet. ]

No, not really- [ He answers almost giving the question a real thought. Almost. He could just say that he doesn't want to make Archer's life easier, you know, because everyone needs hobbies and his is being annoying- but there might be more to that. ] But what's the alternative? Letting you enjoy the moment a bit too much?
boneofsword: (smug as ever)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-01-29 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I rarely do enjoy the moment. [Archer spins them round, careful to match the slow rhythm. It's true, he rarely does enjoy something aside cooking and housechores, but that doesn't count. Usually it's just a feeling of peace, not the actual joy. The concept is still too alien to him.]

Unless you oppose the idea that I find your company enjoyable. [he says with more of a smile than smirk. It's a playful quip, not the typical snarky one.]
futhark: (bah)

[personal profile] futhark 2018-01-29 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... [ Ugh. That's not even a precise sniping because Caster is pretty sure it's not meant as hidden sarcasm. ]

Now you make me sound like a baddie... [ Every story needs a villain. Does story of "Archer finally enjoying things", needs one too? Given that he apparently counts as one of those things, it is certainly a plot-twist ]
boneofsword: (Impressive)

You're more like fine wine - good in small doses but deadly if I overindulge. [he says so tilting his head and closing one eye, trying to tease.Archer's aware of his lack of social and flirting skills, which are suddenly needed. Trying to match Caster is like walking on thin ice.]
futhark: (resting face)

[personal profile] futhark 2018-01-30 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So much flattery today, mixed with sarcasm of course, but still you're exert yourself, friend. Hey, getting the "you tried™" is also something ]

Oh fine, fine- change of plans. I'll go easy on you today.

[ But just today. Maybe he's getting a little drained with the party too-- as shocking as it is, he gets it sometimes, really. Why else would he enjoy the quiet, solitary hobby like fishing? Or maybe it's the combination of alcohol- but the slow rhythm of the song isn't that bad.

Archer can be not that bad too. And seems to invested a lot into a good cologne, now that they're so close to notice. ]

[He'd be flattered if he knew Caster has noticed his extra efforts. Archer simply wants to enjoy the dance for how long it lasts. It's such a calm, content feeling he has no idea if he ever felt before, and is thankful to Caster for letting him enjoy the moment.]

I'm grateful for that.
futhark: (grin)

[ You know, he never really realized how much of a problem the god-shinki relationship can be when he A)encouraged Archer to be more open, because being linked to a dead-inside person is weird B) enabled the being more honest and the dokis that follow.

Archer, when you doki so much, it's hard to figure out if he's the one having them or if it's just you. ]


Just today, mind you.

[ It's just you, it must be. ]
boneofsword: (Impressive)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-02-04 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sure, blame your dokis on Archer, who meanwhile is way too content with having that slow, nice dance. It's even too warm and fuzzy, and he's starting to wonder if he had a glass too much of sparkling wine.]

I never expected otherwise. [because that's what he gets for being honest, right? It's also the best moment to lightly brush Caster's cheek.] Mhm, you smell nice.
futhark: (sideglance and sidesmirk)

[personal profile] futhark 2018-02-07 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Impossible, Archer the designated driver is drinking! Yet another reason to rang the bells, or something, Caster wouldn't believe unless he'd seen it with his own eyes- his shinki is alcohol repellent or something.

And yes, he will absolutely blame the dokis on Archer. ]


The only thing you didn't choose- [ The suit, the shoes, yeah, that's not his own choice ]

Isn't it too early for comments like this? [ He chuckles taking the compliment, but- oh well, so he's now on the other side of being flirted with? ]
boneofsword: (troll face)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-02-08 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer does drink, indeed, moderately. He's not good with alcohol. If Caster saw him earlier he most likely had a chance to watch Archer sip the sparkling wine.

Caster's comment makes him chuckle.]


I'll save some better ones for that time. Besides wouldn't it be mixed scent?

[ Okay, he got himself to blame only, he took it into a bit raunchy direction, can he fault the guy to going with it? The kick in the shin cannot be mistaken for a misstep, nope, that really was there ]

Oh, I'm absolutely sure you have just referred to my skills in herbalism and alchemy- [ Which aren't very impressive on the first one, and non-existent on the second one ]
boneofsword: (defeat is not an option)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-02-12 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer definitely can feel the kick and retaliates with spinning Caster around.]

Of course, my wise druid~

[What, no one told him to cut the snark. There's some fondness though, and he's keeping his tone light. He's way too content for being a smug, arrogant asshole that he usualy is.]
futhark: (formal wear)

[personal profile] futhark 2018-02-17 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's as "wise" just as much as he is a "druid". Thanks for the flashback. ]

Keep telling that and maybe it will happen someday. When I'm old and all that- [ He follows the steps and goes into that dumb spin without complaining. ]

Nah, like that would happen.

[ YOLO and live fast, die young! ]
boneofsword: (smug as ever)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-02-17 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer chuckles and spins him again.]

Does two millenia count as not old? [he teases, knowing time doesn't really apply in this case. But he can't really pass the chance.]

[ He's old as dirt if you look at it from this perspective. But he didn't live through those two thousand years. ]

Give or take few centuries- it's not that much.

[ He returns close after the spin and for a longer while they can just keep close and move with the music. Yeah, this kind of dancing could grow on him. Dancing with Archer even, who knows. You know, like a fungus ]

And the song is closing to its end...

[ And with that, their second dance is over. ]
boneofsword: (only a flesh wound)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2018-02-23 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[They both make up for that time living intensely the moment they're summoned.]

Mhm, such a shame. [Archer wouldn't mind it taking a bit longer, but it's better to change the pace to not let Caster grow bored with current dancing partner.] You're a good dancer and easy on the eyes.

[He can at least tease some more.]
futhark: (grin)

[personal profile] futhark 2018-03-03 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha...! [ So much flattery going around here, what if he gets used to this? ]

Go and take some other dances, so you can appreciate how good the dancing with me was. [ It's a tease, not a boast, but he does enjoy making Archer's life harder than it's supposed to be. Besides, again, he's got no idea yet how to answer to all that flattery coming from his shinki. He sees where the games lead, and he's not overly opposed to it. ]
