[A question he probably won't answer were it to be posed to him. Instinct did him plenty good. But he wouldn't lay blame to it, either. He's not quite so cowardly.]
Can't say I've ever experienced it. But at least the company'd be nicer.
[takes a long moment to consider the table between them, the danger all the edges of Gaius's armor pose to the tatami mats (but not his skin), the easy possibility of a tipped-over tea set]
[and then makes the decision to care about none of them, an abrupt tackle with hands landing on his shoulders to push him right onto the ground, claiming a seat across his midriff]
[And here he'd expected a similar retaliation, perhaps a smack over the head with Takasugi's sandwich wrapper. But instead, nay, he finds himself on his back, with the other hovering over him.
Th air knocked from his lungs as he re-orients himself from the tackle, Hands immediately moving to find the areas where he's hidden his knives.]
[his smirk alludes to the playfulness of it all, fingers digging under a cloak and finding the softest part of his throat, applying just enough pressure to be uncomfortable, leaning down without fear of what silver or red gold those hands might find]
[And it's only that smirk that makes his hands still at his sides, looking up at him with a blank expression for a moment. The pressure enough to nearly take him seriously, but.
Soon, a smirk will move up his face as well.]
Never been real good at apologies, mate. A bit of trouble pronouncing the word proper.
I'll allow you to use whatever language you might see fit, you know. [would understand them in plenty now, after all, and his hand moves from throat up to grip that pointed chin, dig into cheeks and force lips to pucker downright stupidly]
[look at this fish face.]
[SQUISHES A FEW TIMES, making lips plump and flatten and plump and flatten -- ]
[Is this seriously happening. Takasugi's hands doing some real nonsense with his face, it isn't long before Gaius is grabbing at his hands to keep him from said nonsense.]
Murghg--hfgbfbrugh-- [HAND OFF--] stOP. Dear Naga alive, I can't use any language if you mash up my bloody face like that.
[the husky laugh those garbled sounds and that reaction gain is surprisingly warm, mostly unbridled, rocking back on his heels when his hands are captured]
I think I actually prefer it that way; let's keep going. [LUNGES FOR AGAIN]
[It's a really odd sound to hear from the other, and it almost catches him off guard.
Enough to keep him from defending the others' assault quite perfectly. He lets out a noise, sort of like a squawk, attempting to wrestle the other away from his face.]
[BARKS AT HIM, maintaining a rather comical arch over the man as he tries to pull his own face away but keep his arm extended out and tug-tug-tug on that flabby cheek]
[good thing i secretly like sweets and am actually just super tsun/self-loathing about it]
[SEATS HIS FULL WEIGHT right on gaius's stomach, instead of reaching for the hand on his face, his other digging into the opposite cheek, spreading those two fleshy pockets as wiiiiiide as they can go]
[The full weight of demon general samurai on your stomach isn't exactly something he was prepared for. Or wanted. Or even wanted to deal with. He can feel the air push out of his lungs with a low wheeze, his eyes crossing as his arms drop from the others' face to his arms.
Agh.]
Megrhhlllrrgh. [Gurgles. He's probably drooling now, too, you asshole. QuiT.]
