01 -- Two Boys and a Bed -- Video

[flamesbond]

[A general Mognet post today because Lea and Isa need anyone who can help.

Lea points his camera at the mess of wood and metal that is going to be their bedframe.

Eventually.

He hopes. Currently it’s just a disaster with Isa sitting in the middle of it, fuming and sweaty. Their apartment, like so many, is powerless.]

So...anyone know how to read backwoods Wutaian? At least I think that’s what the directions are in...or was it something else, Isa?

I think that’s what it is.

[He squints at the directions before holding them up for Lea’s phone to capture.]

[And yeah, it’s some dialect of Wutaian that two boys from Kalm would never have learned to read. Lea sighs]

Never buy a bed from a backalley furniture store, guys. Even if it’s a great deal for a queen-sized bed.

[Yes. Two teenaged boys got one queen-sized bed. No, they don’t see a problem with this.]

Okay, you’ve asked. Turn that off and go change the laundry to the dryer already.

You nag, you know that?

I wasn’t nagging. Nagging would imply I asked you more than twice.

[He pauses.]

You’re not still filming this are you?

[Lea snorts]

I'm getting it, I'm getting...Nag

[It cuts off.]

Despite how he appears now, he was a very adorable kid!

[video]

[notachocobo]

I hate you so much right now.

[video]

[swordoath]

I don't hear you denying it!~

[video]

[notachocobo]

You're just talking to hear yourself talk now.

[video]

[swordoath]

I'm just talking to see how red you can get.

...Besides. Don't torment the kids. They'll figure it out eventually, kiddo.

[video]

[notachocobo]

Jerk.

And I'm not a kid. I'm technically older than you now.

[video]

[swordoath]

[ slooooow grin. ]

Physically I'm still twenty-three, my good friend.

[video]

[notachocobo]

Mentally is a whole different story, my good friend.

[video]

[swordoath]

Yeah, true. We all know that deep down, you're a crotchety old man with a tender center.

[video]

[notachocobo]

I am not!

[video]

[swordoath]

Me thinketh the chocobo doth protest too much.

[video]

[notachocobo]

Stop trying to sound educated, it's embarrassing.

[video]

[aiza]

I believe it.

[He's seen younger Cloud, so yes, he knows.]

[video]

[swordoath]

[ he really is trying to get the attention off of you and your friend here, man. ]

If you watch them both really close, you'll notice how they both duck their heads down into their scarf or shirt collar when they're embarrassed. Or flustered.

[NOT HERE]

[notachocobo]

[Why.

WHY.]

[video]

[aiza]

I lost track of how many times I've witnessed that with the younger Cloud. He's really easily embarrassed, isn't he?

[Nearly every comment to him here, and frequently while they were hanging out at the festival.]

[video]

[swordoath]

Pretty much. The older one is really no better.

They mean well though. Really.

[video]

[aiza]

Good to know. I don't understand what he had to be embarrassed about. I wasn't saying anything he should be embarrassed by.

[video]

[swordoath]

Shyness, mostly. Just do me a favor, yeah?

[video]

[aiza]

What's the favor?

[video]

[swordoath]

Nothing major. Just try to make friends with him.

[video]

[aiza]

Oh. I think we're already on that. I think he's a cool person and Lea collects friends faster than you can say it.

[video]

[swordoath]

He's a friendly guy, huh?

[video]

[aiza]

Lea? Yeah, he's almost too friendly.

[NOT HERE]

[backwatertrooper]

[WHY.

THIS.]
