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.

[ 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.]
no subject
[ probably. heat lingers where daan's finger slides down his skin. ]
...Oh. Right. Yeah. Anything you're craving?
no subject
[And they won't have to do that song and dance again of getting people in the room. It still surprises him a little that Cloud had been jealous, but... there's something warming about it, too. Knowing how genuinely wanted Daan is.]
I usually eat pretty light first thing. But considering how things are right now... would you be okay with getting us food? Just some toast or something for me.
no subject
[ he leans into daan’s touch, relishing the warmth of his palm. somehow, he’ll never grow tired of that. ]
Yeah. I can do that. [ he sits up slowly. ] Can get us food for the rest of the day too.
no subject
That'd be nice. I'd like just a day with you.
[It... even sounds like it makes him happy, which is a surprising thing to recognize in himself.]
no subject
despite everything-- it's nice.
cloud's fingers interlace with his, firmly. ]
...Okay. Then you'll have me.
[ and then a kiss to his temple, brisk and benign. ]
But you're gonna have to let me get up so we can eat.
no subject
Then he huffs at the idea of letting go, almost outright pouting.]
Hmph. I suppose.
[Reluctantly, Daan pulls away, but not before he presses his lips to Cloud's cheek.]
no subject
[ it's clear he isn't actually bothered -- there's playful kind of airiness to his voice, a levity even. it's...adorable, really.
cloud leans in again-- this time, he presses a kiss to daan's lips, even if that isn't exactly sanitary at the moment. ]
I'll be back before you know, okay? Don't do anything stupid.
no subject
I won't leave the room, so that certainly narrows down the possible things I could be doing.
[He says it wryly, then brushes his fingers over the side of Cloud's face.]
I'll be waiting.
no subject
he returns, eventually — with a few bags, all containing a variety of breakfast items. coffee, toast, bagels, jams and butters, some fresh fruit on the side. ]
…Hey. [ he remarks, setting it all on the table. ] Eat up. Figured I’d just get us delivery for lunch and dinner later.
no subject
Although Daan had already thoroughly showered last night, he still takes some time to fuss over himself and preen. Getting fully dressed seems like a pointless endeavor, but he still at least puts on a button up shirt and a pair of trousers.
When Cloud returns, his ears perk up and swivel, twitching. Daan will not miss the rabbit ears, but it's clear that he's glad to have him return.]
Thank you. ...I know you'll probably say something like "it's no big deal" or something, but... it's. Nice. Being treated this way.
[And letting Cloud do it, moreover. Being cared for. It makes him certainly realize how little of it he's ever received in his life.]
no subject
Well, I mean… it’s— not… I’m used to fighting back home, so… this is kind of a cakewalk.
[ but! that defeats the point. cloud unpackages the food, displaying it across the table for daan. ]
If it’s for you, then… I don’t mind. Really.
no subject
I know, but...
[It's hard to really phrase how much it means to him, even if he's certain Cloud understands. Daan has spent his life in servitude or having little control over his own choices. Even... even Elise, she didn't do anything like this, did she? It makes his heart ache, those questions he's trying to avoid in his mind.]
Well. It's a good variety of options. [He takes the coffee and takes a small bite of toast.] I suppose I'll give this place one thing and it's their questionable supply of fresh food.
no subject
[ he’s curious. maybe he shouldn’t be. cloud takes a pronounced bite out of a bagel, sipping his coffee in an attempt to wash it down. he finishes it off relatively quickly, not thinking too hard about it. ]
It’s good when it doesn’t make you horny. [ he’s just saying. ] Food’s not so easy to come by back where I’m from, so…
no subject
[Saying it out loud just makes it that much more real to him, coldly and cruelly. There's a comfort in it from receiving it from Cloud, but there's also that boundary he dares not cross for a multitude of reasons.]
Mm. Same for me. One would be lucky to stomach food rations, and even after that... it was hard to come by food in Prehevil when I was there with Marina.
Imagine my surprise and subsequent irritation when we found food here.
no subject
[ smooth. ]
Wherever you came from sounds like a dump -- Marina mentioned a few things to me. [ another sip of his coffee. ] ...Prehevil where you were born, or?
no subject
[There's a pause, then Daan shakes his head.] I don't really know where I was born, to be honest. But no, I just had some business to do in Prehevil. Unfortunately, that's where Marina and I ended up stuck for a few days. Us, and a bunch of other people.
...We ended up seeing a lot of heinous shit. All of us.
no subject
[ not exactly a good breakfast topic, but... cloud's eyes flicker away. ]
...But--...what did you mean by business?
