to face the beast of life, stand, do not take flight. you’re not alone in this fight.

ah. he clasps his hands behind his back, feeling the itch of some voice skittering around them, taunting him again for his temper. “ and i apologize for the way i expressed my frustration.” he sighs. even after all these years and distance, he is still his parent’s son. »
normally she possibly would have intruded on the conversation, though usually, the conversation would be about the indifference or what the next plan is. but this time she seemed... off. maybe nervous? when he stepped away, she responds to his words with a nod. " i... wanted --

that snarling thing he was raised with dug into his skin and became muscle memory. “you deserved a more civil reaction, and i should not have lashed out with the vitriol i displayed. far be it from me to criticize another for their tiny pleasures, even ones »

as simple as reminders of friends and adored ones.”

the conversation expands out to the rest of the cavia and loid himself as she watches, and the general mood seems to be that they’re in agreement that the encroachment must be handled, but there’s also so much more that’s more important. the priest breaks off from »
eventually she finds him, but keeping her distance. she doesn't want to intrude on their conversation. though- sand is something she can live without seeing for awhile...

the conversation as it goes on when he notices the drifter looking at him. possibly looking for him. “ drifter,” he greets, a small edge of annoyance from the group in his voice, “did you need something?”

// i did a long run in the circuit last night and ran lyon for the entire time and delighted at how snippy this man is. at one point he yelled ‘yes yes rap tap tap’

he’s not in his usual place, instead out with tagfer discussing if it’s worth it to sweep that sand back as best as possible. it’s been a conversation revisited a few times by now.

he has a feeling the devil is both surprised by the depth of something as simple as preparing candles, and humoring him. he briefly explains the meanings of the herbs he uses, that the oil he uses is sacred, but mostly just used to keep the herbs on the cold candle wax. »
the devil's brows furrow as he listens to lyon explain the process 。 he didn't realize such a thing actually had a *meaning behind it ; is he supposed to lay out some sort of intention himself when doing this ?>>

he gestures for roathe to take his place, stepping off to the side for him. “ here. a few drops of oil tends to suffice. drip it over the candle spread it along the entire thing, minus the very tip.”

hm no by the amount of scoffing and rolling his eyes he does at their religious habits, it’s quite safe to assume he hasn’t ever done such a thing. he takes a step to the side, wiping his hands off with a rag. “ dressing a candle is a simple or complicated as you »
“ me ? ” he sounds surprised by the offer 。 it's not every day someone offers to let the devil dress one of their candles 。 or ever really 。 “ i've only ever watched ; i may need your guidance in the process 。”

wish it to be.” invites him to where he was standing with a gesture. “some carve things into their candles first or press herbs into the wax or stop simply with oil. the point is intention. do you burn this candle with hope that the light it emits will guide you, »

or perhaps it is to burn away feelings that do not serve you. anger, loss, confusion.. it is meant to help in some way or another regardless.”

he’s overthinking it. yes. lyon’s thumb presses the pad of his thumb along the tip of the candle, smushing the wick and dragging part of the wax forward, and then back down into the base of the candle, leaving an indent. a little of it lingers still on his finger. »
“ ... ” gaze flicks back down to the task 、watching lyon dress the candles with rapt attention 。 he's seen him do this countless times but certainly not so ... ahem 。 he's overthinking it 。 “ you're quite skilled 。 ”

“ i have had practice. i have not had spectators until recently.” considers something. “would you like to try dressing a candle?”

it’s a coin flip, really, on how these next moments will go. a test of will, one might say. normally he’d ignore roathe and be good and normal and pious. but the devil is right there, and sometimes the coin lands on the other side. sacred oils are dripped over »
“ by all means 、who am i to stop a man from dressing his candles ? ” soft chuckle slips passed his lips 、 eyeing the task itself before flicking back to lyon's face 。

taper candles, spread across the wax with a calloused hand (perhaps with a little more attention to the task than necessary). then herbs are pressed into the oil, mindful of the wick, and the candle is set aside for the next one to be prepared. oil spread along »

the entire candle, from base to tip in his fist, herbs pressed into the oil and wax, and onto the next again.

his eye flicks over to the devil, a gleam of amusement there before he returns his attention back to what he’s doing. “ should i assume you have come over to watch me dress these candles, then? or is your mind filled with perversions already?”
“ hardly minding my business *this time if i’m *staring directly at you ; i wasn’t exactly hiding my interest in you 。 ” smile curves the devil’s lips upward 、 stopping at the end of the table 。
