That's it. That's it-- you brought this on yourself. On yourself, young man! Don't say I didn't warn you.

[ Dokja is thankfully being released, but only because Abel is fishing beneath the collar of his tunic to remove his shard as if he is, in fact, about to tattle to someone via Communion. ]

You sit right there and THINK about what you've done, hm? And in front of the weird rabbit, no less. Shameless, aren't you? Incorrigible. Utterly incorrigible. Now sit tight; this will be over soon.
inutilis: (✰ ABSOLUTE HORROR??)

[ oh, no.

Abel's shard slides off his face and into the grass and flowers, and now he's recoiling his hand from Dokja's face as if he's just been VICIOUSLY BURNED by HELLFIRE, holding it to his chest and looking utterly scandalized. ]


Y... you-- you REALLY just--

[ the horror. the dismay. the betrayl. the disbelief, the incredulity, the stupidity-- it's all coming to a head. mounting, in this moment. reaching a terrible, terrifying, tumultuous peak. ]

[ oh, oh no. oh no oh no oh no. he's going rapidly pale as if the very fear of God has been hammered into him, shaking his head in a jerky and immediate denial. ]

Y... you-- you gave me rabies? You gave me rabies. You gave me rabies, you--

[ ...

[ --lurching to his feet and scrambling to collect his shard, he begins running away through the flowers in the direction he'd come. ]

HELP!! Mr. Eustace-- I have to call mi-- mister, ha-- HELP, I have RABIES and I'm-- ohmygod--
inutilis: (✰ how cruel!!)

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-08-19 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Because if ANYONE would know how to cure rabies it's a Miqo'te, right?! Goodness, Dokja, g... get your head out of the clouds, would you?! --Oh. Oh, oh. Wait--

[ he's slowing a bit to toss this over his shoulder, ]

...The rabies has melted your brain, is that it? Is that why you are the way you are? You-- you poor creature, I had no idea...!

[ okay but he's still preparing his shard. to Communion.

guess who. ]
inutilis: (✞ unbidden secrets.)

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-08-20 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah. oh, this is real unfortunate. who could've forseen this turn of events? Abel's been hung up on, abandoned in utterly callous cruelty to his rabies-infested fate.

there truly is no God.

Dokja can probably see the moment the 'line' goes dead - Abel's eyes widen, sparkling in shimmering, tearful betrayal. his heart pangs in his chest; anguish begins building in his expression and his protests slowly go lax, still. pliant.

and then he goes boneless like a dead fish, sniffling pitifully, whimpering quietly beneath Dokja's hand. is he listening...? maybe. or maybe he's simply sinking into a DEEP DEPRESSION, whatever.






...it's a shame that - due to Dokja's close proximity to Abel's shard and their shared Legacy of the Martyr alike - Abel's hefty dose of amusement and his gross warm fuzzies of fondness are being betrayed right now and spoil the whole effect he's building here. damn bro, why you gotta tip a man's hand like that? not cool, Aion shit, not cool... ]
inutilis: (✞ peering......)

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-08-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah, a taste of my own medicine........

...Abel is frowning ever-so-slightly (and there is a ping of curiosity?! intrigue?! through their shared bond) as he watches Dokja fish out his shard. he seems to be too interested in what Dokja's going to say, however, to interrupt.

so, in a rare and unexpected turn of events, he's... merely laying there? and watching?? ]
inutilis: (✰ PERSONAL SPACE??)

the way i literally CACKLED

[personal profile] inutilis 2022-08-20 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ and all at once, a cacophonous, shrill SCREECH that could pierce the very heavens themselves can be heard as Abel lurches up with surprising dexterity to grab at Dokja's shard, the other hand fisting a handful of the other man's shirt by his collar. bc this thread is ridiculous, their noses are now smushed together and Abel is so fervent he might get spittle on Dokja's face and you, honestly, deserve that as much as he does. in my humble opinion. thank you for attending my ted talk, ]

No!! NO, you tell him the truth RIGHT NOW, I said NO such thing!! Dokja, infecting me with BRAIN-MELTING RABIES is one thing, but slandering my adoration of soft fluffy ears is ENTIRELY another!!

dismantles ur face...???????
