1st breakfast | video

[ Who's that girl using her tablet as a mirror? None other than Saint Kitten, who is currently fussing over the state of her blonde curls and humming softly. The more observant ones can probably notice the Adam's Apple, but after a few blinks of wide, blue eyes she realizes that she has, somewhere along the line, pressed transmit. ]

Oh fiddley boodles.

[ That's what you get for being from the 60s. She brightens up anyway: all Irish accent and husky voice and smiles. ] Is this my best side, darlings?

Hello, my fellow captives, it appears I'm back again. I hope to get a flood of beautiful faces weeping with joy at seeing me here once more to brighten up their day.

Do tell fill me in on what's been happening, hnn?

No. Neither'a you are takin' me anywwhere, fuck off an' leavve me alone. [no no no this cat he doesn't want a bath he doesn't want to exist in the realm of a bath no no no]

Sounds fine to me. [He nods at Kitten, ignoring Eridan entirely.]

Cornering him shouldn't be difficult.

Fantastic. Meet me in the corridor outside his room?

[ Kitten nods, turning off the feed and in a matter of minutes she's there. She's smart--she's not wearing heels so she can properly run for the seadweller. ]

[Ianto arrives shortly after, nodding a friendly greeting, but bringing a finger up to his lips for silence. If he knows Eridan, the slippery little brat will try to bolt as soon as he knows they're there.]

[ Kitten smiles right back, and holds up her finger, silently counting down to the course of events. One, two, three... ]/

[Eridan is safely ensconced in his pile of various bedding supplies, and he knows that Kitten and Ianto are up to shenanigans. He hates people who meddle. God, what is with people and meddling?!

He thinks he can hear people outside but he is not moving to check. Unfortunately, that means he also doesn't check to see if his door is locked. Which it isn't. Anyone could just burst in and meddle in his life if they wanted.]

Hello! [Ianto bursts in on Kitten's count of three and wastes no time in grabbing Eridan and pulling him up. He trusts Kitten to do the same on the other side.]

I do hope you don't mind, darling, just a little precaution. [ Sure enough, Kitten's grip is surprisingly strong as she clamps down on the other's arms, mindful of the horns, and proceeds to pull him up. ]

[AW HELL FUCKIN NO.]

Wwhat the fuck are you twwo doin', this is my privvate fuckin' room, get off'a me! [Despite fully knowing they wanted to drag him to Jack, he hadn't locked his door or actually considered they'd abuse that privilege. Dumbass.

He, unsurprisingly, is flailing like a dolphin in a fishing net the entire time they're hauling him out of his warm and non-judgmental pile.]

He's quite squirmy, isn't he? [Ianto speaks casually to Kitten, ignoring Eridan's protests.]

I've had my way with worse.

[ Casually talking about the weather. ]

[He kicks out a leg but it's pretty much useless since he's not... even in front of anyone to kick.]

Don't talk about me like I'm not here! I'm actually, matter'a fuckin' fact, right here an' I don't wwant to see Jack, so maybe you twwo should leavve me the fuck alone! [Aaaand now that his feet are firmly on the ground he's just going to dig his heels in the best he can. Don't make him go limp, because he will. He is basically five years old, after all.]

Nope. You're going to look Jack in the eye and tell him what you need to tell him. [His grip is strong. Do your worst, Eridan.]

Apologizing never hurt anyone, Eridan, and this Jack fellow is obviously someone you care about.

Wwhat am I evven supposed to be apologizin' for?! "Sorry I got freaked out ovver you bein' possessed by a demon?" Because that's my fault an' not just a natural reaction to someone you like suddenly roundin' on you an' pointin' out your obvvious character flawws, right? Wwhy should I be the one apologizin' for that?

[because jack already did you gigantic douchebag jesus christ.]

Jack already apologized to you for everything, despite logically knowing none of it was actually his fault. The least you can do is apologize for making things worse by getting into a fight with the bloody demon. And then you can tell Jack just like I have that nothing that happened was his fault, and you can make sure everything's alright between the two of you.

[Oh look, they're approaching Jack and Ianto's room.]

You mustn't let other people wallow when you can fix it, it's rude. Don't tell me you've undone every single thing I've taught you, you great big git.

[ughhhhh]

I already said that, wwhat the fuck is wwrong wwith you twwo, an' you barely taught me fuckin' anythin'!

No, you didn't, but now you have the opportunity. Work it out, Eridan.

[And they're at Ianto and Jack's doorway, so Ianto's just going to open it now.]

Jack? Someone here to see you.

[ Kitten says nothing, waiting--more than a little curious. She doesn't know the whole story, after all. ]

[Jack's sitting back on the bed, his arms crossed across his chest as he's sort of dozing with his eyes open as he sometimes does. He starts at the door opening and moves to stand and make sense of what Ianto's saying]

To see me? [...ah, Eridan. And another, that Jack doesn't quite recognize]

[Eridan is still struggling, right up until they get him into the room. Then he sees Jack and he... can't actually keep struggling, because then he'd look like a dick and he doesn't want to do that any worse.]

They dragged me here, [he says instead,] You need'a put a fuckin' leash on your matesprit, I don't need him haulin' me around like I'm incapable'a wwalkin' myself.

[Kitten, of course, gets a pass, because honestly he can't expect anything else from her.]

[Ianto's eyebrows raise just a little and he casts a meaningful, amused glance at Jack. A leash, huh? There's some food for thought for later. At the moment, though...]

If you'd come here yourself, I wouldn't have had to drag you. Stop stalling.
