"You don't sound too confident." Laxus observed.

He's sure Elfman has his share of inner saboteurs, and while it can be difficult to tell at times what's on his mind if he hasn't opened his mouth to say so, Laxus is interested in helping or at least encouraging him.

"Something digging at you?"

@ragingbolt asked: “Do whatever you think is right.“

"--'Course I will." The pep talk came as sort of a surprise, coming from the resident Lightning Dragon - but it was more than welcome. If Laxus supported him on his quest to the peak of Manliness, he could not be stopped. "..." All he needed to do was truly, stay true to his wishes and do what he thinks is right. A code he lives by, certainly, but even he is human. "Of course I will."

Did Laxus catch on that something was on his mind?

#biisutoarm #he can be surprisingly helpful!

If I'm very reserved and quiet on this blog it's because I wasn't actually planning on coming back to it; I was all but prepared to let roleplay go pretty much last week.

I'd probably be slow either way, I got two jobs and my back ache won't let me forget it. I'll still make an effort to be here but slow is probably gonna be the default.

Breaking News! Local Thunder god dragon confirmed losing to a bicycle!

Reporters say Dragon Slayers having unanimous motion sickness is bullshit, however facts show that...

"I was literally six years old, fuck off."

No one but Gramps is allowed to dig up anything from before his S-Class days, let alone his childhood. Whoever procured this information has to be purged.

"Yeah, I imagine so."

Take Over magic has always seemed too complicated to suit him. He dislikes the idea of something within his body, his being, that operates differently from himself and could rebel. Not to mention the physical ramifications.

"Your first few Take Overs must have been a pain in the ass."

"That was a joke, Elf."

He exhales, a stream of smoke carefully aimed to the side so as not to be disruptive. Despite the clear failure of communication, he's smiling in full now. He'll take the L for this one, he's never been good at jokes.

If Elfman wants to pose, though, he'll need something to complete the image. Laxus removes one more cigarette from the pack and offers it to him. Just to see what he does.

"Oh, yeah!" Appearances were important for this guy, right. That would explain the initial Lacrima headphones he used to go with, and the ever-present fur jacket around him. It really did serve to toughen his image.

If he wanted space, he got some. Mindfully taking distance, Elfman took a mere three steps back; leaning back some to straighten his posture and making a somewhat serious expression - with his complexion, looking more like a glare than anything.

If they were feigning the silent Manly image, Elfman is experienced enough in that regard. Nevermind the fact he never actually caught the hint Laxus was probably getting at.

#biisutoarm #and we love him for that

[ragingbolt]

The hand holding the cigarette moves up, so the back of his hand is resting against his brow. Despite his attempt at exasperation, a smile is twitching at the corners of his mouth.

"I'll keep that in mind, Elfman." And he will, that's a promise. He's still not too great at the social stuff, but he does admire Elfman's bright outlook. "Now gimme space, I need to look cool while I'm medicating."

Zap. One end of the cig lights up orange, the other finds its way between his lips. The picture of stoic masculinity...right?

Resisting the urge to take that one literally, Elfman cleared his throat. He's been one of the better bunch at keeping in high spirits, courtesy of numerous routines and, a very simplistic mindset. Evidently, the more you think about something, the more it drains from you.

"Man..." He grumbles. "If ya need a Man to talk to, ya can always come say hi, y'know?" Laxus may have been intimidating in the past, but nowadays he seemed a lot more... Welcoming.

Especially after Tenrou Island. "Oh, and food helps too!"

#biisutoarm #any dynamic at all is fuel for cool shit #laxus is the unstoppable force and elfman's the immovable object #there's so much to explore!

[ragingbolt]

Sneezes. He's in someone's thoughts.

Laxus bald?? she doesn't want to picture it ...

#cptnslog #cptnslog: lucy heartfilia #bald laxus is like ichiya laxus: never to be spoken of #redacted down to the conceptual level

[ragingbolt]

"Most people aren't, these days." And nobody is every day.

No, he's not at ease. It's nothing that happened today--just a buildup of a bunch of bullshit from the past few days, and he can feel it lingering on him in his muscles.

"I'm fine," (will be fine) "Elfman. I just needed a pick-me up, promise."

Right on the nail. Nothing more transparent than that, fortunately his intuition was correct. "Then that'd mean yer not at ease now, are ya." That's about the most logical thing it'd translate to.

Elfman would know stress. He knows tragedy like no one else, and was miraculously saved from its consequences. Despite that, he's managed to find a different path - albeit arguably just as obsessive.

#biisutoarm #i do love laxus with all my heart so be ready for shenanigans on occasion!

[ragingbolt]

"Nobody smokes because it's cool." (This is a lie, it is exactly why he started smoking when he was younger.) "People smoke to feel at ease."

He'd gotten pretty close to cold turkey when he was first kicked out, but he still buys a pack every now and again.

"-- I've been wondering this but," Yeah he's going to ignore that jab entirely. "What's so cool about smoking?"

If it's stress, that part's gone since Makarov accepted him back, right? ...He vaguely recalls/assumes seeing Laxus with a cigarette when he was younger, too.

Still worried about that hairline though.

#biisutoarm #elfman's never been a super common muse so it's kind of nice to see one for a change #had to spring on the chance to write with one~

[ragingbolt]

Alright, he can't smoke with someone staring at him like that.

"I could do hard drugs, if you'd prefer?" Maybe Elfman will let him off the hook if he offers him one...nah, lost cause.

He's not sure why Laxus would take to smoking.

Wakaba's bald, might happen to Laxus too.

#biisutoarm #thank god he can't hear elfman's thoughts #the stink face would be legendary #it's been a while since i did any threads so forgive me if i'm rusty!
