[He seems a bit distracted as he settles down, seemingly confused. Then, with a startled sound he begins to mess with his hair. A series of muttered curses in French color his preening as he tries to plaster down stray hairs that do not exist, staring rather blankly after putting his hands down as if observing something. Hushed:] I look like a recluse! Mon dieu!

[Leans forward, more determined than ever. He goes from trying to plaster them down to brushing them down for more volume, letting that prized hair cascade like a boss. He finally leans back ten minutes later, seemingly quite pleased. Yes. You guessed correctly; he used the camera as an impromptu mirror, not quite understanding that it was broadcasting. Of course he's not quick to leave. He did just spend around 15 minutes fussing over his hair and getting up too quickly would 'disturb' it.]

What was that look for?

[thisclinchesit]

Now I'm wondering if there's a female version of me out there somewhere.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

Ha, well cher, if you find her send her my way so I can have a chat with her.

Just to ...level the playing field, but of course~

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou makes a face, though it's more over that those words are coming from someone with such a similar voice and appearance as Francisca than it is that Francis is already after a hypothetical lady Shou, though both are unsettling in their own ways.]

I...uh. W-we'll see about that.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

I just met you and somehow I find myself horribly disappointed...

[thisclinchesit]

[Awkward to insulted in less than a few seconds!] Oi, what's that supposed to mean?!

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

Ah, rien. [smirk] I was just talking to myself. So.

...How did you initially meet my other? Before you met at the hips, s'il vous plait.

Oh wow, I completely missed the other comment somehow. Derrrp.

[thisclinchesit]

I initially ran into Francisca at the library, though...

[Awkward pause.]

Haven't quite gone that far yet. [Ahem.]

WOOPS

[lip twitch]

Color me surprised!

Ah well, interrupting is in Shou's nature so it works.

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou smiles, though there's just a bit of a smirk in there.] I'm not one to rush things like that.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

I am an old man, monsieur. I think that I have mastered appropriate timing, if that is what that little smirk is implying otherwise.

[thisclinchesit]

Not at all.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

Oh? [curious brow quirk] So, what were you before you came to the Tower? Consider me interested in seeing the types they gathered for whatever this place is.

[thisclinchesit]

Was just commenting on my own timing was all.

I came from Fuuto City in Japan - I worked there as a private detective.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

A private detective? I shudder to think of what notes you have on all the Tower's inhabitants. [chuckling, he waved it off] Must do something though to keep your mind sharp, non?

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou frowns, looking indignant.] Oi, you make me sound like an unsavory guy. I am taking notes, yes, but just for the purposes of trying to figure out what's going on here.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

[Apologetic look, sure... right.] Has it led you anywhere, monsieur détective? From one 'unsavory' man to another, of course.

[thisclinchesit]

Just to further confusion, to be honest.

[He'll be ignoring that comparison, thankyouverymuch.]

Aw sullen face *pinches cheeks*

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. No rhyme or reason for the souls that were spared from our grave situation, oui?

[Oh, of course he would. You just wait. I'll make a man out of you.]

Pffffft. xD

[thisclinchesit]

Pretty much.

It's damn frustrating.

[Shoutarou is quite the man already! He was trained by the manliest man to ever rock a fedora.]

Re: Pffffft. xD

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

[Keep talking with those Angelina Jolie lips...]

Well, when you are finding out, mon cher, do divulge a bit, oui?

Preferably in person...

[thisclinchesit]

Fair enough. Might have to hold an assembly of some sort, since it would pertain to everyone.

[creme-master.livejournal.com]

I would be more careful. Perhaps this is something to be discussed in person rather than a link anyone can see? [He might be technophobic on a great scale, Francis was no fool about keeping things quiet to the right people. He didn't trust the network or the people that kept them captive. Who knew if his new pal would go missing for conspiracy?]

[thisclinchesit]

Ah, you have a point. [And this is why he normally worked with a more cautious partner.]

I get ahead of myself sometimes - but yeah. Probably better to talk face-to-face.

I wonder if my other half felt the same?~
