See How the Vipers and Vultures Surround You [Closed]
Who: L, Jin Guangyao, Myr
When: Sunday Feoveuer 7
Where: Outside Myr's other house (shared with Caster and Archer)
What: When L hears "I love you and want you around," he hears "feel free to stake my house out to look for unsavory sorts connected to the Evergreen Circle."
Warnings: Tense altercation possible! Will update this if necessary.
[It’s an odd thing to be explicitly welcome in someone’s life, to have that spoken with bald affection and sincerity, and still believe that one’s proper place is restricted to creeping around in the shadows, covertly and carefully so as not to rouse any suspicion. Maybe it’s just that L’s the most used to living his life discreetly, going through back doors and operating under false identities and motives while his liaisons prop up whatever charade he’s engaged in as long as it needs to last… but “Linden Tailor” has lasted longer than any of them, become something like a person. It can be difficult to reconcile with the old ways, as well as the tendencies that were forged by nature and nurture and persist even after nearly two years in Aefenglom.
Now that L has managed to rule out several of the people Myr mentioned meeting with in the week prior to his strange memory lapse, including the woman at the meeting with a thing for Fauns, he is turning his attention to others. His sensitive, kind and patient Bonded could stand to make friends a little less easily, he thinks in his more put-upon moments… but then, it wouldn’t be Myr, and L perhaps wouldn’t draw from his own shockingly deep pool of affection for the faun. In his bids to be recognized both as a proper human being and an adult, L is fiercely devoted to sorting this out, as independently as possible, to show Myr that he is not only hyper-competent at his craft, but that he is a provider and a protector. What L does is not always sincere; when it is, there’s a fair chance that it will be misguided, and this is perhaps such an occasion, or one in a series of them that form a concerning pattern.
Myr has expressed that he considers L neither a pet, or a project. Proving it still feels necessary. Proving it has become a priority, though others should probably take precedent, and that is why L is outside Myr’s other home, the one he shares with Caster and Archer. Skulking and loitering and remaining far from the door but fixated on the comings and goings, it’s not that he thinks that Myr would lie to him (at least not without very good reason and the best of intentions). It’s that for increasingly concerning reasons, his Bonded’s mind and memory are unreliable. L’s own eyes might need to be the failsafe, and it doesn’t matter if the hours pile up. He won’t grow bored or restless, because as long as he’s here and watching, he is doing something, being productive, and his time and skills are being put to decent use.
If someone shows up who was already a person of interest, he expects it will be relevant. If someone shows up who wasn’t, initially… well, that’ll change in a matter of moments.]
