[betheman]

[He does indeed. And with that, Gon will resume carefully bringing his hands through the air above Yuuya, a flow of energy once again tangible through the other's pathways.

It'll probably be this way for a while, so just uh. Work with it.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya purses his lips, but he's prepared for the sensation this time. It's not actually bad, one he's less surprised by it. It feels close, but so does talking through their souls. This is just a more present spiritual connection, when hr can feel it running through his limbs.

Idly he watches Gongenzaka's hands. Is talking going to be too distracting? Well, he can only see.]

Does moving your hands help?

[betheman]

Mn-? [He sniffs a moment, flinching somewhat- and when he answers, it is a little clipped.] Mnh- it is what feels...correct, at least, [He murmurs, keeping his eyes shut.] ...I, the man Gongenzaka, must guide the energy after all so...

[hippocarnival]

Oh. [Yuya's a little bemused, but he can tell from that clipped tone that he's breaking Gon's focus. He's heard it plenty of times disrupting his meditation after all.

So he quiets himself, and when that starts to get boring he lets his mind wander. He lingers on how it feels, then how Gongenzaka looks with his face scrunched up, hovering over him. How that'd look before the carnival changed him and if he'll see Gongenzaka look like that again. Wondering what's going through his head when doing this, and how long he's worried about what happened in Shabon.

Right in front of Yuya, he's just the most obvious thing to think about. He's still except for soft breathing, staring up at Gon.]

[betheman]

[The work continues. Up through the shoulders, down each arm...and eventually, up along the head.

Which is going to feel Hella Weird given those freckle-looking bits, but hey.

If he had a clue what Yuuya was thinking about, he'd probably start panicking. But as it is, he simply eases his own energy back for the moment, nodding.] Hmn...I, the man Gongenzaka, think I have a clear idea, now...

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya continues to stare blankly at Gon while he spaces out for another minute.]

... Huh? Oh, yeah? [He blinks rapidly, coming back around as he offers Gongenzaka a smile.]

[betheman]

[He shakes himself, and nods.] Aauh! If you like, I, the man Gongenzaka, can attempt to pass a healing spell through? It should not affect anything, but at the very least, we shall both notice it passing through!

[A pause, and he adds.] ...It will not be the sort of experience from passing my energy through, however...

[hippocarnival]

Uh... sure. [That seems kind of foreboding, that's probably not how Gongenzaka means it.] Should I just... keep laying here?

[He pats the ground. At least it's grassy.]

[betheman]

Auh...it would be easiest, certainly... [And more accurate for that matter.] ...Unless you wish to sit up?

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya looks side to side, then back at Gongenzaka and stretches comfortably, like he's going to take a nap.] No, this is fine.

[betheman]

Hm!

[In that case, he'll just beam rather wildly.] Then, I shall begin..!

[It won't feel like his soul this time. If anything it feels more like someone has applied a massage pad over the areas Gongenzaka works with. It should be a bit pleasant.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya just kind of sits back again, feeling a little settled that the way Gongenzaka heals others won't be that intimate. You won't catch him admitting to slight jealously, though.

Yuya stretches his fingers.] It's like a massage~.

[betheman]

Mnh? Is it? [He asks, pausing briefly to answer. He clearly doesn't have to disappear into focus as much, for this part.] So it is pleasant then?

[hippocarnival]

Yeah. [He pauses, fluttering his eyes open.] I mean--the other thing wasn't unpleasant either! But I think anyone else would be okay being healed this way.

[betheman]

Auh-

As long as it is not invasive... [He mutters, grimacing somewhat. That...seems to be the key here now after all.]

[hippocarnival]

[This is a hard moment to navigate between them, Yuya thinks. He wants to assure Gongenzaka, of course, but... he doesn't know how. Would it calm the mood if he joked about it, is it better to put some distance between them now, or... let things be closer. Are they ready for closer (whatever closer even means)?! Is that even in Gongenzaka's head at all or is Yuya just going to embarrass himself, make things uncomfortable for perceiving intimacy in it?

Yuya looks aside shyly, absently picking at his cape.] No, not for healing someone.

[betheman]

[It's a tough call to make- on either end, truly. But for the purposes of the conversation now at least, it's something they can focus on and stick with. Maybe it would be better to truly think about later- about after, when the Ringmaster is saved and...hopefully things go back to normal.

Hopefully.

So-] Phew.... ...that is a relief then, [he replies honestly.] Not to say that I, the man Gongenzaka, wish to need to heal anyone...but I would rather not make anyone uncomfortable doing so..!

[hippocarnival]

[Or maybe Yuya could be a little shit.

He pushes himself to sit up, shaking his head.] We're going to need it anyway, but... no, it isn't uncomfortable.

[He smiles crookedly, slightly teasing.] You just weren't very shy about running your soul through me, were you?

[betheman]

Aah, that is my thinking, so-

[He trails off, and proceeds to immediately sputter.] TH- That..!!

I, the man Gongenzaka, did not realize it would feel that way, Yuuya..!! [He croaks, face beet red.]

[hippocarnival]

But you knew what you were doing, right? And then I told you... [He moves to stand up this time, casually dusting grass off himself.] So maybe you just enjoyed it?

[betheman]

[The sputtering continues.] TH- THAT-

Wh-whether I enjoyed it or otherwise, that should not-

It shall not be something I, the man Gongenzaka, repeat without your permission, after all..!! [He's getting lost in his own words a bit, here.]

[hippocarnival]

And if I gave you permission? [Yuya's getting lost with his thoughts, and what was just supposed to be some gentle teasing to test the mood between them is getting a little away from him now.

He leans in, though it doesn't do much to close the distance between them.] Like now?

[betheman]

A-AUH....AUH...

Goodness Yuuya, stop teasing us like this..!! [Yelps the daemon at the side, no doubt forgotten in all of this. It's enough to give Gongenzaka himself a bit of a boost though, and the other one coughs.]

W-We are still working with kisses, are we not..!? I-

Th-Though if you truly wish for it, I could....auh...

[YUUYA YOU ARE GOING TOO FAR.............]

[hippocarnival]

[Well. That confirms that the intimacy wasn't all in Yuya's head.

Marishi is a little forgotten, sorry, as Yuya's whole brain screeches to a stop and he's frozen, wide-eyed at Gon with his face deeply flushed.]

I... uh, I--[He shakes himself back to awareness, looking away and he rubs the back of his neck.] W-well I'm not really in a rush to... just--since it already happened, that was... nice.

[Why did he throw them in this hole.]

[betheman]

W...Th...As long as it was nice, I suppose...! Auhh...

[Still half frozen on the spot, Marishi again fills the blanks.] Perhaps you two could try something like that later..? Another day..? [She laments, her partner still beet red but latching onto the idea quickly.]

Mnh! Y...yes... ...If it is something you wish to...try again...? [He offers, only now able to look at Yuuya's face again.]
