✪ 5! [ video ]

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, Shiro! Shiro, I have a present for you! ✩

[ "Toto" is literally jumping up and down and clapping his hands on the video. Something has him really excited. ]

The Administrators must really love me. I'm not sure why they gave it to me instead of you, but I'll give it to its rightful owner.

[ He's so excited that he forgot to filter this message. ]

The Tower finally gets to have its own Aceman. Again. ✩ [ He then holds up a silver, metal mask. And grins. Not quite as scary as her grin, but still an A for effort. ]

Me neither~ I didn't come here for that~

[She turns around and starts walking away.]

Try to be more careful about the presents you make to Shiro too~

[But at least she's still keeping the mask.]

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

Just because you hate ice cream doesn't mean my last present was bad. ✩

[ Come on, Shiro loved that sundae. ]

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

Don't play dumb, Mockingbird~ You know I'm not talking about the ice cream~ [She's talking about the mask.]

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

She seemed happy about both. [ His point is that he's trying balance both of them, but fair enough. ]

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[Only because he's way too good at deceiving poor young Shiro. But Wretched Egg already mentioned that and she hates repeating herself.]

Next time you promise her 'Aceman', see to it that it's the real Aceman. Not me.

After all~ She already has me, just like I have her~ It does not depend on you anymore~

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

I guess 'it's a series reboot' wouldn't work, would it? [ An exasperated sigh. Deflect with humor... doesn't tend to work on her as well as it does with Shiro. ]

At least the cape looks like the real deal. Too bad they didn't send me that.

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[No, it doesn't. And she ignores his first remark altogether.]

Too bad indeed~

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, well... hungry? Thirsty? I haven't eaten dinner yet, and... [ Glances down at the 'snacks' he brought for Shiro. ] I never thought I'd miss those damn twins.

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

You miss them~? ...How sweet~

I told you. I'm tired~ [And she's already leaning down onto a couch.]

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

They were good cooks. Even you have to admit that. [ A shrug, and he grabs one of the nutrition bars, and plops down next to her, sitting cross-legged. He then begins unwrapping the bland, tasteless bar that actually manages to have less flavor than tofu. ]

Y'know... [ He says, taking a bite. ] Something always had me about curious your 'Red Man' act when it came to Ganta. How is it he never commented on how short you were? Or were you always flying?

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[Unfortunately for Hagire, he is not going to get the answer to this question. Not this time at least. There is a yawn and a sigh.] In Shiro's dream? Sometimes Shiro's flying. But not always.

...Sorry, Toto. Shiro's fallen asleep. [She's hugging the Red Man's mask against her chest as if it were a plush.] Shiro's hungry now.

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

[ ... well played, Wretched Egg. He looks slightly surprised by Shiro's sudden 'appearance,' but then regains his composure, and gently pats Shiro's head. ]

Ahh... no, it's okay, Shiro. You were up late last night. [ He claps his hands, and hands her one of the nutrition bars... that he had covered in sugar he had stockpiled from last month. ] Here you go. ✩

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[Shiro blinks as he pats her head. But then she forgets about everything else as he shows her the sugar coated nutrition bar.] This one looks yummy! [It barely looks like the bland nutrition bars anymore. Shiro takes it and enthusiastically takes a bite.] Mmmm~

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, don't get too excited, Shiro. I don't have as much sugar as I'd like for this kind of thing every day. ✩

[ Though, she looks happy. Good. See that, Wretched Egg? See that? ]

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[Yes, she does see that.]

Oh... [Slightly disappointed and then suddenly hopeful again.] Maybe they'll give us back the candy before Toto runs out of sugar!

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

I'll try to find some, either way. ✩

[Action]

[taintedwhite]

[Reassured by that last statement, Shiro goes back to devouring the delicious treat Toto brought her, making small contented noises as she does so.]

[Action]

[hemoeroticism]

[ Oh, Shiro, why are you so cute? He mounts his chin in his hands watching her. ]

That's right. I'll take care of you as long as you need. And I'm not going anywhere. ✩
