[ Jade doesn't mind the games that the resort plays, of course. Interactions with others, forced or otherwise, give him an opportunity to have a little bit of fun. Everyone here is from different places. Different worlds. Varying expectations. That means he gets so many reactions from others. At the present moment, Jade can't say that he's necessarily bored seeing the different ways that he can make people uncomfortable to put them on edge. There are so many ways that he can do that here.
That's the real reason behind sitting down for this little "dinner date." Or, rather, that's his intention behind sitting down for one of these sessions where people just ask each other questions. It's not until he catches sight of a familiar earring and hears a whine he knows all too well that makes Jade pause.
His dearest, sweet brother. Here. Oh my oh my. Naturally Jade waves off the staff, saying that he is more than happy to find a partner himself, before placing a hand on his twin's shoulder.
Oy... I ain't in a good mood right now!
How precious. As if Floyd's capricious attitude could scare Jade off. ]
Floyd.
[ And that's all that he's going to need to say to be understood. ]
[Fun and games are fun and games until he gets tired. No one wants to play forever, unless they're weirdos who don't know what sleep means. He's had enough of being pushed at strangers. Did this place forget it yoinked him in here from his own sleep? He thought it was a dream at first, but biting his lip really hurt! Going from funny dream thought to sinking stomach plunge in when "uh-oh" came trundling after sharp pain. Where is he? What's this place? Why's it modeled after a casino-- ha! he remembered the name of it. See? Told ya he'd get it soon enough.
But moh! None of that matters now! His stomach's not plunging anymore; it's growling! His brain's growling! He's-! ... Well he's not growling, eels don't growl, but a breathy hissy sound is building in his throat and steaming between his teeth in vivid threat. He ain't afraid of throwing down with these idiots and putting the squeeze on any of them. Hungry. Food. Pretty easy answer, right? If they block him, he'll go through them and-
-and get interrupted by his twin.] I said I ain't in the mood, Jade!
[Another time, he'd turn and glare at his twin. This guy's holding back his meal! Fixated completely on his potential target means he's hissing those words over his shoulder in fair warning before
... before]
Hah? [He whips his head around so fast, he might've broken his neck. Dual-colored eyes wide for a second in surprise. Jade! Jade's here? Jade!]
Jade! [Ahahah! Jade's here! He's happy and furious at the same time, stomach going all twisted and fluttery! One good hand on his twin's shoulder tells him he's as solid as everything else here. Which is good! Maybe bad. Good!] They keep tryin to make me pair up with strangers. I said I'm done with that today!
[ A subtle warning, of course. Jade really does love it when his brother reacts in his purest form. He adores his twins antics and seeing them in action and how everyone just doesn't know what to do when Floyd is in one of his moods. The bafflement. Fear. Uncertainty. It's a delicious meal that Jade loves to feast on.
When it is appropriate. That is, when Azul or Jade can benefit from the situation or at least be able to spin the fall out in a way that gives them all the upper hand. The warning is what it is because that's not something that they have here. Squeezing the staff won't net Floyd what he wants. So, right now, Jade has to stop Floyd from doing anything rash.
[ But of course he can't actually stay strict with Floyd either. They can get mad and fight. Nearly kill one another, but just never really hold onto grudges or frustrations with one another. That's simply how they are. So when Floyd's expression shifts at realizing that Jade is here, in the flesh, naturally Jade's own expression softens from that stiff, formal warning tone.
The entire time they've been apart, he's thought of Floyd. Several times over. Had wished that, if he's trapped here, that he could at least have Floyd next to him to experience it with. At the same time, as a brother and a survival partner, Jade had wished that Floyd would never have to be here. ]
Now now, Floyd. There are certain rules to these games and consequences for not abiding them.
[ Then Jade turns towards the staff. Time to turn on the "charm" that everyone is so deceived by at first. ]
Although, surely they would think to separate brothers that haven't seen each other in several months, correct? Why, being apart that long practically makes us strangers in each others' eyes.
[ Or they could, you know, leave the area and steal away into Azul's room. Food can be made there as well. ]
Uh-huh. Are your ears working? [Warning taken, warning ignored. Mostly. At least the ice around his hand's dissipated rather than turning this concierge into a flash frozen statue. Jade's always been able to fix things when they bother him, whether it's dealing with the annoyance or pulling him away from his ire. As much as he hates not being able to vent, he does appreciate his sibling's interventions. Most of the time. Since he always makes what comes after better.
But there are times... when his know-it-all twin's reins irk him. This one threatens one of those times. But only for a moment. Because lucky for Jade, seeing him sweeps his frustration out from under him in a quick rush. Not fixed completely, but so much better because he'd much rather eat with Jade than get stuck with another random stranger again.
... hai, hai. He did pay attention to the true warning. Something he'll ask about soon enough.
Really, it's only been a day, but for some reason, he feels like he hasn't seen Jade in weeks! And he doesn't like that feeling at all. Strange, gut punching sensation. Something in his eyes doesn't sit right. One glance spies such a relief in his twin's golden gaze, softening under his pretty skin, how his jaw muscles relax and neck eases. As if those feelings aren't strange to him. There's no communication between them, yet Floyd's blood runs off. Cold and hot, dread and anger. Nani...]
Rules? This ain't a game; it's a restaurant. [He's well aware restaurants and lounges have rules. Annoying ones about shirts being done up and behavior being smart. Stuffy things he accepts when he's in the mood, but not completely. Guess it's not hard to fathom some places require a two-person party or more for a table. But that's not what this felt like!
Gegeh? "Several months"? He doesn't like the sound of that!] Jaade. Ya better not be implying-
[Oh but no time for that, since the concierge is not one to judge and quite amiably agrees to seat them together at a nice private(r) table for their re-acquaintance. After all, the peacock's aim is for everyone's happiness and pleasure. Doso, right this way, the two of you, please.]
[ Floyd is allowed to be irritated by Jade. He'd find it unusual if his twin wasn't, actually. Not even Jade can fully control his brother's mood swings. Rarely does he rein him in to this degree. Naturally his sibling's frustration would mount, not being able to have some kind of outlet. Unfortunately, Jade can't afford for him to vent and take things out on whomever and whatever he pleases. Not when Jade is a low rank and Floyd has no rank. They could get away with it if they were higher, but alas - ]
I'll explain momentarily.
[ As if Jade wouldn't have gathered as much information as he could in the time that he's been here. Observing. Watching. Listening.
Thankfully, the staff don't seem to want to argue with the twins. Rather, maybe they see this as an opportunity to stop a tirade before it begins. Or, maybe, they are considering something else, given what these sorts of games are all about. Either way, Jade is just thankful that there is no kickback. Thus he thanks the staff graciously and takes a seat at the table while ignoring Floyd's lingering, questioning and accusatory gaze.
It's not until they are sat down and they're informed that drinks and their meals are a special set today. Jade smiles and nods, knowing that he's probably going to have to have a secondary meal later. ]
