We need to talk.

One, I proposed to Sheifa last night. Thought I should let you know. And yes, she did accept.

Two, why do you keep calling me "chipmunk"?

Because Sheifa is now my little sister. Therefore I am contractually obligated to pester/tease her relentlessly.

And because she insisted I will no longer use the 'Chipmunk' name.

It's going to be replaced with a 'NoxPom' name.

Which is 'still' better then all the other names you'll be getting from me if you ever make her cry.

Don't worry. If I ever make her cry, you can be absolutely sure that one of us - probably me - isn't in our right mind at the time. Something I'll have eaten will have been spiked with a love potion or I'll have been turned into someone else or something.

I honestly thought you'd make more of a fuss about us being officially engaged now.

Explain the Ball. Oh yes, I saw sniffly hurt from my baby sister that night.

Well it's not like I can stop her. And I can always kill you afterwards if you mess up.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Correction, either I won't be in my right mind or it will be caused by circumstances beyond my control. How was I supposed to know what was going to happen at the ball?

You can try to kill me. Do you really think I'd have my father's sword if I didn't know how to use it?

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Wrong answer. She wanted to go with you. What are you going to say when she goes into labor? You don't want to go to that either?

... Course I've heard stories about women going into labor...

Doesn't matter how good you are with a sword if you can't hurt me.

((OOC: And somewhere over a tub of ice cream Selphie and Sheifa are having a squeeling good time reading this.))

I doubt she would have cried about it if it had been just the fact that I didn't want to go to a party. I'm pretty sure the mind-control thing entered into it somewhere.

Most of the ones I've heard have actually involved getting the men out of the room as quickly as possible.

Oh? And what makes you so sure I can't?

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Actually sometimes I think the only thing that saves a doctor is that they're delivering the baby.

Well where's the fun if I told you 'that'?

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't be surprised. Which reminds me that I need to talk to the king about building a spaceport when I get back...

There's the bit where I get to tell you how that doesn't help. That's fun for me, anyway.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Are you sure you're supposed to be Sheifa's big brother? How old are you, anyway?

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

20. However that's only in 'this' life time.

If I add it all together this is just my vacation and I don't have to act mature 24/7 because of it.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

It's just that I'm not sure the intimidating-the-little-sister's-boyfriend thing works so well when you're younger than the boyfriend and act less mature than either of them.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

My maturity is a bit too dangerous and I mean for everyone.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Soma, I helped kill the creator of my entire universe. I think I can handle dangerous.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

You 'helped' as in you 'require' assistance.

I have to do this by myself. Big difference. The only help I get is people willingly cutting my power back. Which is why what happened at the ball couldn't affect me. The nature it wanted to bring out is locked away back home.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

A damn good thing the others were there, too. If it had just been Ather and me Luther would've erased us.

... Oh.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my current personality? Is pretty fake, but so long as I maintain it, I push the other one back. Which is all I can do without my guardians from home to keep me steady.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Don't be sorry. It's not your fault.

As I get older the easier it is to control. My powers are easy, the sense of responsibility is easy. But the mind and body, they get used to doing things one way, and my life as short as it's been has been of doing things a little bit different from before. Fighting instinct is never easy, and in my case a bother of the highest order.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Still... If I'd known...

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

You still would not have gone with Sheifa to the Ball, and I'd still call you a chipmunk.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

No, but I wouldn't have seriously insulted you just now.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm used to it. Back in the old days you'd only get half of it out before I'd kill you.

You see? This is anger management classes for me.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Ahh don't worry about it. Just don't make Sheifa sad is all I'm asking.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I promise not to, as best I can. Who knows... Her crazy mother's been quiet lately. Maybe we'll even be able to throw a proper birthday party for her next year.

[whitenightking.livejournal.com]

Sure!
