I'd much rather hang out with all kinds of people than fight monsters I can't even talk to. After all, there is nothing more complex and interesting than "people" in this world.

a seductive come-hither motion or two from his perspective is easy to blink away, and so is a hand against his jaw, but in a space that barely has any room between the two of them for as lithe as they are, it makes him wobble a hand behind him for support as he leans back. like, hold it. he's supposed to be the strikingly handsome one who intimidates people with his playful come-ons, okay? it almost makes him feel a little self-conscious for once, brows folding together briefly before they shoot right up in surprise at how deftly hugo plays him in the alley to make him move.
well. right before his fur starts to prickle visibly, a hint of something red on the curve of his cheek. )
Give someone a heads-up before you start manhandling them, would you?
( that way he can prepare his heart for next time.
he's surprisingly obedient, though, letting his tail block the way before dismissively motioning with a hand for hugo to move. )

Sure. If you expect we might be doing this again, I’ll even come up with code words~.
[ …Which probably sounds like teasing, but it isn’t. It’s exactly how he worked with any member of Mockingbird, and it’s a small part of why their operation worked so well. A single phrase was all it took to slip into a role.
Yet, impressively, that little retort is all it takes for a satisfying little click to follow. Hugo withdraws his hands from behind his back, deftly folding his tools up with one hand, and spinning the padlock ones around his index finger with the other. Even for someone with experience with picking locks, it would still be remarkably skilled and deft work.
He slips slightly to the side to give Takasugi more access, since this is where he takes over, but he still stays close. Partially because there’s not much of a choice, naturally, but also to continue to block the view in whatever way he can as they switch spots. ]
I can keep watch, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to see you work.

( confident, are we?
takasugi shoots a hand up dramatically to his face, two fingers angling in a 'v' spread along the one eye that always remains visible. )
( 2 / 2 )
you know.
absolutely nothing happens. his tail flicks ineffectually as if to punctuate the awkward silence. )
Who was the one who went and forgot the anklet from Patho-Gen seals your natural abilities, huh? ... That's right. It was me.
( eyes shut, like. damn. is he supposed to rip this open with his bare hands now? )

…Which. Is apparently literal. Hugo stares at Takasugi expectantly, glances at the box, and then, truly. He can’t help it. He erupts in laughter. Maybe it’s partially at Takasugi’s expense, sure, but most of it is just that he’d really expected a feat of engineering, so not something that would be affected by the bracelet! ]
Well, I have to give you credit for style! It’s a properly dramatic introduction.
[ That part is genuine praise, even though it probably doesn’t sound like it… they are actually both chuuni but in different professions… ]
I suppose I’ll have to take an IOU for the demonstration once they let you out for good behavior~.
