13th Flight: [Action]

[skyborne_mage]

[Slapped to the door of the clothing store is a note.  It's not a very remarkable note, even if the text is a bit on the large side.  But it's a note on a door, so most people will probably stop to read it.

This is what they will see.]

Give the next person you see a big hug and kiss!

[And hiding in a nearby tree, watching the results of her little experiment, is one Arche Klaine.]

No one else has tried giving you commands, or are you getting better at avoiding them?

[Totally oblivious.]

[knightofratatosk]

No one has tried telling me to do anything today.

[Getting closer...]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm hoping this nonsense is starting to calm down. The nerve of some people, honestly...

[Somehow my personal space is getting smaller.]

[knightofratatosk]

I can't wait for this to be over. Jumping in the lake wasn't so bad, but then Rosalie asked me to sing and I couldn't stop myself.

[HEY AT LEAST HE'S NOT CROWE OR ANYTHING.]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

That's horrible! Has Richter been able to help you at all?

[THIS IS TRUE. FAIZE'S MOSTLY NON-EXISTENT SEXUALITY IS STILL SAFE.]

[knightofratatosk]

No, he's... he's still sick.

[ONLY ABOUT A FOOT AWAY NOW.]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Faize takes a step back. Why does Emil keep coming closer?]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm really worried about him. I don't know what to do, and I don't think the healers could help either.

[He wishes he knew the answer to that one himself, Faize.]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

Have you tried talking to Bones? He's a great doctor. I'm certain he'll be able to figure something out.

[He'll pause for a moment. He shouldn't really be trying to flee one of his best friends.]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I've never met him before..

[Getting closer getting closer...]

Um, Faize...

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

He's a good man. One of the Starfleet Officers. They're very capable people.

[Staring.]

Is something wrong, Emil?

[knightofratatosk]

I-I'm really sorry--!

[And that's all the warning Faize will get before Emil wraps his arms around Faize in a hug and plants a big kiss on his cheek. Not the lips; even affected by the experiment, Emil isn't about to cheat on Richter.]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

{Faize very nearly squeaks. What in the ever loving hell!?]

You... you read the sign!

[knightofratatosk]

I didn't know it would do this! I'm sorry!

[Still hugging, though.]

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

It could have been... I mean, I... Well there's nothing...

[Blushing and sort of hugging back. Lost in the, "uh, what."]

[knightofratatosk]

[The hugging is nice, albeit awkward, but WHY CAN'T HE MOVE AWAY sdfjhsgdf]

I mean, i-it's not that I don't like you or anything...

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

[Faize isn't sure he wants to let go. If he lets go, he will flee. So he tries to make sense of it.]

W-we're just friends. You're with Richter, and logically it isn't sound for me to be in any kind of relationship, especially those involving two males which I'm not quite sure I understand but you're in one and Edward's in one and neither of you are bad people so I cannot fault your logic for being with someone whom you care for deeply which is something else I have yet to understand because Eldarians have spent so much time focusing on finding a new homeworld because the failing conditions on Eldar render sexual reproduction to be just barely possible but masochistic because evolution doesn't work that fast and because of that I have never really thought about this kind of thing so I'm not quite sure I understand what in the world just happened.

[knightofratatosk]

I hugged you. And... kissed you on the cheek.

[He clears his throat nervously, still bright red.]

I do like you, but not the same way I like Richter, and... and... I can't believe I just did that. I'm really sorry, Faize.

[faizedout.livejournal.com]

S-so you did...

[Faize steps back awkwardly.]

Right. Our friendship is not constituted by things like this. It was just a sign. Everything's alright. [RANDOM KISSES WHAT.]

[knightofratatosk]

[Looking down at the ground now.]

We're just friends, t-that's all. It was all because of the experiment.
