[typhlopid]

[A voice that is usually calm and refined seems to be struggling to remain so this morning.]

...My sister, Clover, has disappeared. You might know her as that pink-haired girl.

It is not a prank. She would not do that to me. Messages sent to her NV promptly bounce. [He also can't sense her presence, far more disturbing overall. And knowing what she must be going home to--]

If I find someone has taken her, if something has happened, there will be no end of hell for those responsible. [It is a coldness, a preciseness that can only be managed by true loathing: Clover has been stolen from him before, and anyone who dares to do it again will pay.]

PRIVATE to Re-l Mayer || minimum security

I suppose this is where I ask to file a missing person report. [After a moment of hesitation.] I may require assistance in doing so.

It really doesn't bother you that I have been reading your mind without permission this whole time. [It seems more of a statement than a question. Snake's brow furrows curiously, and he reaches out his free hand until he manages to touch Lee - hoping for his face.]

I will, then. [He opens his eyes again, then fidgets awkwardly.] I think I am looking in the correct direction...

[excellentviolet]

[He feels Snake's hand on his neck, which he brings up to his cheek. His eyes meet with Snake's blank ones.]

You're looking the right way now.

[typhlopid]

[There's no real indication when he does it, no look of particular concentration. He just stop not listening in to Lee's thoughts, letting them broadcast to him in full so he will know exactly what he's thinking when he sees his eyes.]

[excellentviolet]

[And Lee lets his thoughts relax, letting Snake listen in on the way they make him think of pearls, or how the scientific part of his mind wonders what causes eyes to look that way when blinded. But the thought that reverberates the most through Lee's mind is that they simply were alluring. He doesn't understand what makes him so attracted to everything of Snake, but he simply is.]

[typhlopid]

[Snake chuckles.] My eyes are naturally this color, but they don't respond correctly to light, so they might seem a bit strange.

[He decides he will wait for Lee to think about kissing him before he makes a move. But he does tilt a little closer, face turned toward him.]

[excellentviolet]

Well, I think you know very well how I feel about them now.

[And he does think about kissing him, his thoughts moving from his eyes to his lips. It doesn't help that the way Snake shifted made him think more about pressing his lips to his again.]

[typhlopid]

[Snake tilts carefully, brushing his lips over Lee's briefly.]

Why doesn't it bother you?

Someone with an ability like mine could be very dangerous indeed. Someone with your worldly experience must surely know this.

[excellentviolet]

I think, if I was far more younger, I would be on my guard. But I've seen so much in this world. And I don't feel like I have much to guard or keep secret.

Besides that... [He leans in to kiss him lightly.] I trust you.
