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.

I'd-- I wouldn't... you aren't any of those things, Daan.
no subject
I've known people in the range of those things. [Especially from people who were supposed to be family.]
...You know. When I first was telling you about myself, I expected that at best you'd find some humor in it. Or be amused. Something like that. Yet, both you and Marina have acted otherwise. You both have been... kind. Comforting.
no subject
[ and anyone who thought otherwise deserved only the worst. ]
Wasn't your fault, Daan. Never was.
no subject
Ah, fuck. Well. There's that. [Though he tries to merely brush it off, make light of it, there's a terrible new weight. It's not his fault, he knows that, but actually hearing someone say it is something new.
If Cloud and Marina both generally have the same opinion... the same outlook on this... then it shadows more questions about Elise he's never had before. Questions he doesn't want to think about and ask, but he knows they've been forming for months now.]
no subject
cloud is quiet, motionless as daan's grip on his hand tightens; he eventually summons the strength to scoot across the bed and enwrap his arms around daan in a firm embrace. ]
I've got you.
no subject
Daan rubs his eye roughly.]
Thank you, Cloud...
no subject
…’S fine. Really. [ he means that. ] Get some rest. Alright?
no subject
[Daan swallows, daring to edge on to being a bit more selfish.]
Keep holding me, a little longer. Please.
no subject
[ he does as he says — and lets his embrace linger, not separating or breaking contact until daan is ready. ]
no subject
But he can't keep Cloud forever, as nice as the thought is.
Daan lifts his head, hesitating before lightly pecking Cloud's cheek.]
All right. Can't very well expect you to hold me the whole night.
[And still, he hasn't figured out why Cloud seems irritable, seems upset, but he's said that it wasn't Daan. Maybe it really is just at the situation. That, and he's basically spent all day playing guard for him. Anyone would probably be ruffled after that. So... fair enough.]
no subject
…You gonna be okay by yourself?
no subject
Though still freshly off the cusp of crying, Daan still manages to set a wry tone as he says:] Oh, I won't be by myself.
[Gently, he pulls away so he can rummage around under the bed before he pulls out a bag. Inside said bag is a familiar looking baby chick plush a certain someone won for him.]
There. Not a full on replacement, but I'll be comfortable enough.
no subject
cloud has… no idea what daan is doing. he watches, visibly befuddled, before the plushie materializes.
he blinks.
dawg… is he really jealous of a plushie right now. ]
…Doesn’t compare to the real deal.
no subject
[It's definitely not the same, but he does kind of give the top of its head a ruffle. It doesn't defy gravity and bounce back into spiky shape like Cloud's, but it'll do in a pinch.]
no subject
[ he stares at the plushie… hard. harder than any man should. ]
…You didn’t ask.
no subject
I literally said "you can come to bed" and you said you didn't want to. Should I have been more specific?
no subject
[ WELL, obviously. cloud rubs at his temple. ]
Just… saying… that if you asked, I would’ve said yes…
no subject
[what]
...Oh. Well.
[Daan clears his throat. This seems kind of a goofyass logic, but you know what he'll roll with it.]
Is it too late to ask?
no subject
and then his arm hooks around daan’s waist, and he flops onto the bed, bringing him down with him.
it is very goofy. ]
no subject
Daan pushes the plush away so he can comfortably snuggle up against Cloud, fingers gripping the front of his shirt.]
Hm. You're definitely right, doesn't compare to the real thing at all.
no subject
…Been thinking about this for awhile?
no subject
If I knew all it took was simply to ask, I would've done that much sooner.
no subject
For someone so smart, you really have your moments, doc.
[ a beat. ]
…Was there anyone you liked today…?
no subject
[he huffs for a moment before he settles back down]
Mm. I guess a couple of them were fine. Nobody did anything I disliked, but... to be honest, I'm not interested in doing more with most people.
[That is to say, if he gets a couple of friends out of this, that's fine. But anything more, he really doesn't care to.]
no subject
cloud goes quiet before speaking again. ]
…Why’s that?
[ just curious. ]
