One eyebrow raised, expression sceptical, Raiden brushed a long bit of hair back behind his ear and touched the mask back to his face. It immediately began to cling to his skin again, as it had been previously, and he gently nudged it back into what felt like the proper place before putting his hand back where it had rested on Neptune.
"I think a knight is rather not... me." He shook his head. "Do you have any other suggestions?"
They were definitely not getting the professor to transfigure his clothing. That just wasn't going to happen. He was rather comfortable right now, in what he had on. Neptune might not have been fond of it, but it was rather nice to not be looked at.
"I didn't say you were a kid. Sixteen's still young though." Even if it was nearly seventeen, which was nearly eighteen, which was what he'd gotten to. "Doesn't mean that everyone in the world needs to be looking at you."
The idea squicked him. He didn't like it. Because in his mind, Neptune was forever going to be that very young girl who had claimed him as her 'boyfriend' that day in Diagon Alley, five minutes after having met him.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. "You wouldn't match Duncan." DUHHHH. "I'm just using him as an example. Good costume," Neptune pointed across the floor to him. And, she was polite enough not to point at Raiden's costume and say bad costume. It went without saying, surely. "It'd be silly for YOU to match him." Particularly when his date already had that down. "Like a mask is for covering a face; a costume is for dressing up as something you're not." Ravenclaw logic. Neptune gave him the SMUG nod. "You could have been my seahorse though. What's a mermaid without a giant seahorse to carry her around?" GIGGLE. There WAS always that. And it was never too late to change, Raaaaaaaaiden!
"Not everyone. Just... a few... people... Most people. Why isn't it okay for people to look? Is this you being motherly? Or ... jealous?" Neptune SNUGGLED him again. Raiden was good people. Most of the time. |
