Details
Back where I'm from, I was personally mentored by one of the best surgeons in the Kingdom of Rondon, who was a baron no less. Eventually, I also ended up serving as a combat medic for a war that just recently ended. As a result, I can't say I've had a lot of time exploring much in the way of hobbies, but I'll be glad to explore that kind of thing with people here. It's certainly much calmer by comparison.
Difficult to say as we adjust to life in this resort, but right now I'm just interested in getting to know everyone else here and assuring we all have a pleasant time. I assure you, I'd like to see to it you have one.
I used to work as a butler, so I have experiencing in mixing some pretty decent cocktails.
As much as I would love make people here a drink, I'd also enjoy showing how good I am with my hands. And, well, everything else, for the record.
Not much for books honestly; they put me to sleep better than any sedative. But I do like jazz and swing music, mystery films, and I favor beef wellingtons.
I consider myself a flexible man, but I like someone with a quick wit.

[ listen. he doesn't want him to meet sephiroth.
what he says next earns him a raise of the brow. ]
Sylvian. [ he rolls the word around in his mouth. ] That... has to do with your parents, right?
no subject
[There's some hesitation, but he nods.]
...Yes.
[Well. He might as well get this part out of the way. Daan doesn't think it'll be enough to shove Cloud away for his sake, but who knows. Maybe he will be disgusted after all? Shatter that pretty picture Cloud has in his mind about Daan.]
It didn't stop after my parents never came back for me. I was on my own after that until who would become my mentor would find me. So, for two years, I was on my own. Lived on the streets.
I didn't have the talent or gumption to be a thief. I used... the one skill I did have in order to get a single shilling to my name. [Daan shrugs, like it doesn't matter. Like it can't hurt him.] You do what you have to, in order to survive. That's what I'd think to myself.
Suffice it to say, my affinity with Sylvian is deep.
no subject
the gears turn in real time. his expression shifts — usually unchanging and waxen, now contorting with shades of sadness. of some kind of grief. indignation burns in his heart. ]
Daan.
[ suddenly, an arm wraps around him, hefty and grounding. ]
Daan, I— [ what does he say to that? what can he say to make that any less painful? ]
I’m not letting anyone treat you like that ever again.
no subject
Daan loops his arms around Cloud and closes his eye.]
...You're good to me. [More than he knows what to do with.]
Sorry. Didn't intend to say all that to make it sound like I wouldn't want to do something like that with you again or anything. It's just-- something about having an affinity with Sylvian ensures a number of things. A high drive is one of them. That's... yeah.
no subject
[ is it a dick comment? absolutely, but he has to be completely frank here. he was being decent at a bare minimum. sure, he could take advantage of this, prop himself up as a man but — that wasn’t right.
his grip on him tightens. ]
I don’t care about the sex. [ he’ll repeat that as many times as it takes. ] And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you for… whatever Sylvian makes you do or feel.
no subject
[And he does mean that. The closest he can compare is maybe Marcoh, a bit of Levi -- also men fucked over by the world, but they at least turned out to be decent men. Daan, though, is a sham as always.]
I know you don't. ...But I still want to with you. I just wanted to make that clear. Since you worry a lot. [they both worry a lot tho]
Thank you. ...I was a bit worried her magic would slip in, but thankfully it hasn't this time. I'd rather remember what we shared tonight.
no subject
[ he tousles daan’s hair a little — rubs circles into his scalp. ]
And you don’t? [ he’s just saying. ] Like it’s my fault you give me things to worry about.
[ there’s affection there, in spite of the exasperation. it was fine — he was worth worrying about. ]
If it slips in, we’ll deal with it. Okay?
no subject
[daan no you fuckin don't]
Mm. [Daan leans into the hand, quietly letting himself enjoy the attention.] All right. It's a deal, then.
Still have to carry me to the shower, though.
no subject
nonetheless, cloud threads his fingers through his hair, noting how… feline-like he is. it was endearing. ]
Uh. [ how does he ask this— ] Do you… still want another round?
no subject
The question earns a smile, a genuine one.]
I do. So long as you do, of course. ...I know I sort of... dropped that information on you.
[And all it did was earn more compassion. More of that protective streak in Cloud. It's hard for that to keep Daan from liking him all the more.]
no subject
[ i don’t mind, he means to say. really.
and then he sits up, and his arms are scooping daan into his grasp as he rises. ]
Okay. [ a short lived ghost of a smile. ] But tell me when you want out.
no subject
[Even if he wishes he had better timing about it, but there's never much of a good time to get into your own trauma.
Daan doesn't struggle, finding himself comfortably in Cloud's arms and leaning against him, quietly enjoying his strength and the security it brings. Leaning in, he lightly brushes his lips against Cloud's, not quite a kiss. Close enough.]
I will. Promise.
