Come here often? (Tags Quatre, Trowa)

[nevertellalie]

Since Quatre had helped him out when he first arrived, Duo always made sure to repay the favour as much as possible. He was settled in with the pack now and starting to find his own feet, so he was able to put aside a few things that Quatre might find useful to help out other down-on-their-luck people that stumbled to his door.
He gathered up the supplies and groceries that he'd picked up and headed over to Quatre's safe house. It was early evening, so he probably should have left earlier, but he knew the route like the back of his hand and he'd come far more prepared for a fight than he perhaps had the night he encountered a certain vampire.

Knocking on the door lightly as he arrived, he let himself in and peered around the hallway, trying to figure out which room to try first.

"Anybody home?" he called

No worries :)

Since Trowa doesn't appear to want to answer, Duo vaguely wonders if he did accidentally become mortal enemies with the vampire. Their encounter had been a little odd, Trowa had actually helped him out in the end, but he'd also stolen his ID, so Duo had honestly not been sure what to make of the whole thing.

"Sworn enemies?" he scoffed "Nobody would be enemies with me, I am far too entertaining and likeable." He was partly boasting to see if it annoyed Trowa, but mostly it was too try and keep Quatre from worrying too much, he didn't want to be a source of negativity for his friend.

The blond looks between them again. Oh there's something that he's not being told here, but that's fine. He'll get the story at some point, one way or another. Quatre Winner can be exceptionally persuasive when he wants to be, behind the innocent face. For now though, he'll let the matter rest and instead laugh at Duo's assessment.

"That is a point isn't it? Far too likable for that."

He'll start putting away the supplies that Duo brought, focusing on that, or at least looking like he's focusing on that. "I'm glad then. It'll be easier that way. I won't have to cast any creative spells," He's probably joking anyway.

Probably. But you can't really be sure, now can you? And then, added with another flicker of a playful smile over his lips as he glances to Trowa and his pilfered apple. "Still hungry?"

[funambulism]

"Likable?" Trowa mouths to Duo from behind Quatre's back.

Maybe it's a tease; a rare glimpse at a subtle sense of humor. Duo seems likable enough, by social standards or what not, but if he's looking for validation, he's asking the wrong vampire.
Trowa flourishes his tease with a raise of his eyebrow, short-lived as it is, for by the time Quatre turns back to him with his question, it's already gone, and he's looking back down at his apple.

Hm. He hadn't planned on going back out that night. Usually when he comes over to the farmhouse, he tends to stay for the evening (and sometimes the morning too). He's learned the invitation is always there, especially when Quatre starts talking like that. Duo, though, adds a complication, and one that Trowa's not quite sure yet how to solve. In a lot of ways he seems quite different than Quatre's regular customer, and Trowa's not quite sure what to make of that just yet.

"I don't know," he finally says, shrugs and looks to the clock on the wall. "Maybe I'll head back out."

[nevertellalie]

"Deal with it," Duo mouths back, but he's grinning as he does it. He's confident enough to not need Trowa's approval, but he does appreciate the fact that the vampire's attitude seems to have thawed just the tiniest bit. Maybe. Well, it looked like it anyway. Give him time and Duo would wear him down eventually.

"Don't worry about any fights. If you vouch for him Quat, he must be ok." he added to Quatre with a grin. He toyed mentioning giving the ID back, but he wasn't going to rat this guy out to Quatre just yet - no, he'd save that in case he needed it.

"I'm hungry," Duo nudged into their conversation again, giving Quatre puppy eyes. That was part of the reason he brought food around - sure he brought plenty to last, but he actually quite liked Quatre's cooking, it was better than his own and it always made him feel better. Possibly because it reminded him of that first time.

Quatre's gaze follows to the clock along with Trowa's. Hmm. Making an escape then? Well, he won't get in his way if that's what the vampire wants to do; after all, he's learned by now that there's something to be said for not holding too tightly. Still, that doesn't mean he won't try to coax him into changing his mind.

It would be nice, if Trowa and Duo could be friends. The witch is an optimist, deep down. And also not so deep down. His hand lifts to settle atop Trowa's arm, barely a touch at all, followed by a quiet murmured request, "Stay?"

And then a laugh follows as he glances back towards Duo. Oh no, Duo. If someone actually likes his cooking... but he does try! "Then I'll make us something to eat."
