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 like crows. Ravens, magpies -- but I guess birds don't get soft ears you can touch. Shame, really.
no subject
[ not surprising that he’d lean towards something so… gothic, but… ]
…I think you’re kind of a cat, doc…
no subject
[The ears in Cloud's fingers twitch.]
I guess that's fine, coming from you.
no subject
[ and then after a stretch of silence– ]
…Am I special or something?
no subject
[Daan purses his lips, blush crawling onto his face. He idly rubs his thumb along Cloud's shirt.]
...How could you not be?
no subject
[ and then he says that and— cloud’s eyes stray, cheeks heating all the while.
he remembers when he had called daan special — and how daan had reacted. the tables have truly turned, haven’t they? ]
Can think of a few reasons. [ a beat. ] But… thanks.
no subject
[There's a pause, and he absently licks his lips. He should just be able to say it, shouldn't he? After all, this is hardly the first time he's ever felt this way, but there's a strange anxiety in his chest too. It's not fear of Cloud, but he isn't certain what else it is.]
Please. You've set aside so much time to just... make sure I was safe. And I enjoy your company, Cloud.
...You're special.
no subject
after a minute or so, he pulls away, head canting. ]
…A lot’s changed, hasn’t it.
[ a pause. ]
…You’ve changed.
no subject
...I suppose I have. I'm not much in the habit of letting down my guard.
Perhaps in how you feel more like yourself with me, I've been allowing myself to be more... authentic when I'm with you. Even if it means permitting myself vulnerabilities. Still don't know how much I like it.
no subject
[ cloud is quiet. and then after some stretch of time— ]
You’re good like this.
no subject
[He teases softly, but there's also some truth to it. It's not really something Elise would have liked much. Which gathers into the questions he's reluctantly developing pertaining to her.]
You make it easier. ...You really do.
no subject
You deserve that.
[ his hands slide down daan's back. ]
I mean that.
no subject
It's hard for me to think that way.
[Deserving.]
But I'll try.
no subject
[ he pulls him in closer. ]
I told you: none of it was your fault.
no subject
[There's a slow inhale, and he clenches his jaw. Reaching up, he cups Cloud's cheek, trying to embolden himself.]
...I kept the ring. From when they made us get married.
[Not quite what he wanted to say, but. It's close.]
no subject
[ that's quite the revelation.
the implication doesn't fully register; on the contrary, his brain processes it in the opposite direction. ]
You didn't have to.
[ god help him, he's not understanding. ]
no subject
Daan holds his breath and considers a moment. This is probably a bad time anyway. Would there even be a good time?]
...I wanted to.
I know how I reacted at the time. But it wasn't because of you. ...That much, I'm sure you know.
no subject
[ the implications are still lost on him; his eyes shift away, shoulders tensing a bit. ]
I… know. That you love her. You don’t have to explain yourself to me.
[ oh boy. ]
no subject
[There's a slow, uneasy breath leaving him.]
It's true that I do. Of course I do. But... I also once assumed that the only person who loved me was gone. [nobodytelldaan] That I didn't have anything else going for me in my life. Knowing what my future was going to be in my world certainly didn't help either.
I was ready to accept that, for awhile. ...You... have helped me feel like I can have another shot at things.
no subject
I wouldn’t let you give up, even if you wanted to.
[ a beat. ]
I…
[ he starts. ]
I care about you.
[ close enough. ]
no subject
[It's been a few times Daan has gotten close, has fallen deep into a pit of despair, but he's always clawed out eventually. Losing Elise felt like a death sentence he was barely putting off, but now... now, not so much.
Daan leans in, gently kissing Cloud, slow and soft. He isn't blind to Cloud caring deeply, and maybe more than that.]
You might have joked about being special. But you are special to me.
Regardless of... whoever I have sex with in this resort, you're the person I'm always looking forward to seeing and being with.
no subject
[ warmth floods his chest, his heart stuttering for a moment — he’s… always wanted to be wanted. always wanted to be accepted. always wanted to be…
special.
cloud kisses him again, this one longer and fiercer than the last. ]
…I want you too, Daan.
no subject
I think... I'm ready to welcome that. Finally.
no subject
fingers run up one of daan’s ears. ]
…We got the whole day ahead of us. Anything you wanna do?
no subject
Well. Hopefully I won't want to fuck like crazy again today.
Barring that... We can start with breakfast. [Daan traces a finger idly over Cloud's shoulder.]
