IC: Origami therapy

[thekingsgambit]

[away from some of the post-holiday mingling, one emo exiled prince is spending some quiet time inside his cabin, sitting at the table in the common room. the table is decorated with various multi-colored shapes designed from folded paper and a reasonable stack of not-yet-folded paper sits near his elbow. he starts making the creases for his next creation, expecting to be uninterrupted for the next hour or so...]

[cool as cucumber~]

I wouldn't just hand it out to anyone, but yeah, just like that.

[is very quiet for a minute or so and seems as if he is considering opening it... and he then offers it back to her, looking much more subdued]

... Thank you, Usagi.

[taking it back and pocketing, calm as ever]

You're welcome, Lelouch.

[looks back at table]

So are you content with your stars or do you want to try your hand at the style I suggested?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Umm, I could watch and try it?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

It works better if you test out the steps while you watch.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay. I'll try it.

[grabbing a piece of paper and looking expectantly at]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

The trick to it lies in the initial creases. You want to make certain you do not make mistakes or the main creases will not be as crisp.

[haha i so can't bs this. um much origami skillz go here?]

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[watching, mimicking, screwing up badly and not noticing it, SRS CONCENTRATION GOES HERE]

[peering at disaster you call a star :\]

At least you are determined...

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[it is beautiful, stop hating!]

--Huh? [looking down] Oh... Whoops.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[taking her "star" for a moment and fixing it as best he can]

Perhaps your plan of combining the two elements is more suitable.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Eheh, yeah! I can do the little ones! It just takes a few tries!

[trying right now, just you wait and see for this beautiful star mister]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah, I was beginning to wonder if we should not consider a smaller jar.

[makes amazing star flowers in a gay display of gayness.]

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Hey! Hey, what's that? I can so fill up that jar, watch me!

[o hay my homo ping! pinch, pinch... UHO II STAR DA!!] Look, I did it! Isn't it awesome?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[smiling lightly at her eager pride]

So you did. Now do you think you will be able to get its companions to cooperate as well?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

Of course! Let's see if you can pull off another one of those stars too, buster.

[at it again \o/]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[i am awesome that is all you need to know, also very very focused now]

Did you really come here hoping to find me, Usagi?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[yeah not looking up from the star, totally gonna show you up]

Huh? Well, I came to say hi to Suzu-chan and you. See what you guys were up to, you know. Why?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[seeing is believing]

You mentioned that I have not been adept at hiding my concerns as of late. I am curious what you meant by that.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[then believe this-- STAH NUMBAH TWO IS DONE and only kind of smushed, shush]

Oh, you just seemed kind of sad most of the time. You get quiet and aren't really all frustrated or laughing at me like you normally do.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[this is going to take a while...]

Do I laugh at you so much?

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

[pretty much! :Db]

Not a lot, but I like it when you do.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Many girls dislike being teased.

[mooning-you.livejournal.com]

I didn't say you tease me! Just that you laugh whenever I do something dumb or silly. I don't mind that, since I like my friends having fun more.
