I'm not going anywhere for a while after that whole board bullshit, so you got my full attention and how hard I'll fight you about every single reason. <3
Ooh?~ Maybe that's what I want? Maybe acting like a bad kitty to get attention is what I wanna do.
Ain't used to the spotlight no more, it was kind of a lot. But it's something I gotta get used to again anyway, right? Also you cut that out, I know what you're doing.
A muzzle? A normal muzzle or some other kind of muzzle, Mistress?~
The last time I was in the spotlight was when I lost everything, baby. The public teasing ain't so much the problem, just seeing all of that coming out at once and feeling like it was focused on me was the problem.
You acting like you don't deserve good shit.
I am a little mouthy, I admit. But I'm at your mercy, aren't I?~
[Maybe if he talked about it more, this wouldn't have happened! Who woulda thunk?]
I know. I know. But just because you or them don't know that or like this version of me better doesn't mean it didn't happen and that it's a bit uncomfortable. I'll be fine, I just... need to know deal with public shit for a little while. At least in person.
Tell me something I don't know, 'm trying to work on it.
Maybe, maybe. I know I wouldn't mind being put in my place either leash, boot, or whatever else.
Babe, I literally had one that almost got me arrested because they were high off their ass (lied to me about that part) and claiming I was trying to kidnap them while trying to tie them up.
lol, shit! High antics ain't the same as being a brat. But they might have me beat. Don't think I ever got someone in that much trouble before. Not for that reason at least.
Ehhh. They also were the type that started crying when things went too far even though we had a fucking signal for before it got to that point and also loved blaming me for that fact.
But that doesn't matter anymore. I do miss some of the others I had from time-to-time, though.
[One day he'll get over that, maybe, perhaps, don't worry about it.
Though he slips in through the door quietly, making sure to close the door behind him. He doesn't... look upset by any stretch, more pensive than anything else.]
Guess so, just feels like something I should do. [He shrugs slowly before moving to perch on the bed, tail oddly still to his side.] It ain't that big of a deal, but just seemed better to talk about it in person.
What's the worst ya could catch me doin'? [There's a quiet tease, though Angel's brows crease at that still tail, taking a seat by Husk and offering a comforting scritch at the back of his ears before dropping his hand again.] Go ahead.
[Rude, Angel. Though it does get a bit of a smile out of him, because he can't really think of something that would bother him if he walked in on it at this point. The scritch is met with him lightly pushing into the hand, which... helps.]
If you didn't want people questioning you, you had to settle down at some point and it ain't as if I had much of a choice when it got to a point of where it became more and more difficult to do the things I was doing. [It required a lot of agility, a lot of smoke and mirrors, which technology made more difficult in his later years. Especially when the mobsters were pushed out of the casino business by big business instead.]
Settled down with a girl that knew the score, at least, got people's attention off of us.
[It's a familiar sort of story. The same sort of life that would've awaited him if he hadn't checked out early. Angel reaches to take Husk's paw and give it a squeeze of understanding.]
Pretty? [Of course that would be Angel's first question.] Her knowin' is something'. [At least he didn't necessarily have to play the role at home.]
[He lightly squeezes his hand in turn, it's a little bit of a sore subject for him, but he's not... going to lie to Angel like that.]
She was a showgirl, so that was part of the job. [He can't help the hint of amusement with that question of all things, good grief.] I mean, don't get me wrong, we... had a thing at a point, too. But it was an understanding that we both needed a cover and no one batted an eye at two performers deciding to hitch up like that. [Nor did anyone question their other flings, other than whispering about if the other knew and if it would break their marriage or whatever.]

If you're too bad I'll have to put a muzzle on you. But once you learn to be a good boy, maybe you'll get to get off too.

Date: 2024-12-08 07:47 am (UTC)No one here knows about any of that. Hell, I barely know about it. I never knew that Husk. But I like this one.
We both have that problem.
That's right. Maybe if things go well with Cain we can play around with the fun kinda leash.

You ever play the other side?

Date: 2024-12-08 08:03 am (UTC)Mmm. Haven't since I've been dead, but I did while I was alive. Probably a little rusty, but should be able to wipe that off.

Date: 2024-12-08 08:10 am (UTC)I'd be curious to see if you could handle me. <3
