[ he'll steal them back later... ]
Someone's got ta' remind you two of certain social cues or else you two get in trouble.
[ he bops Totsuka lightly on the head, for no reason at all (except to see a reaction), before he addresses Mikoto again. ]
—Yetis, Mikoto? Really.

Must I do everything, [ as he casually approaches Mikoto and just flicks a hand, a nano-second sign of something that sparks from said hand, and the tip of the cigarette lights. ] ma cheri?
The more you get lazy, the fatter you'll be. I'd not wish that on anyone, being overweight. [ like that will ever happen ]

[ the flare catches, the cigarette lights, and mikoto pinches the line of it tight -- as his other hand snaps out to curl around kusanagi's wrist and hold it there.
he breathes. ]
. . . Nah. You're still the only guy who cares about that.
[
more importantly: go totsuka go. ]

[ She's gonna do it. After weeks of hiding from him whenever he was around Totsuka, she's finally going to do it. Kougyoku is going to talk to Mikoto. Nervous? No. Any trace of it should be gone once he appears, but the anxiety and fear might still remain. Kings were the ones who had that sort of power over people, after all.
Ah, there he is, walking back to the building he was staying at. Now's her chance. ]
King Mikoto!
[ Kougyoku... emerges from behind a hill made of snow because it's not like she lives here too. (She does.) It's not like Yata told her to stop hiding in weird places or anything. (He did.)
She punches a fist in her open palm and bows in greeting. ]
I am Kougyoku Ren. I wish to speak with you.

[ it's while Izumo's distracted and speaking with Mikoto that he brings out the reindeer headband and places it on the former's head. smiling, Totsuka leans out, admiring his own handiwork.
and then, every bit confident, he says cheerfully: ]
Mon reindeer!
and then, every bit confident, he says cheerfully: ]
Mon reindeer!
Ah, Mikoto—
[ he was about to comment on the other man's grip on his wrist, until he hears Totsuka's voice and somehow he can tell he's got a pair of antler on his head. ]
...Should have known. [ Izumo sighs, reaching up with his free hand to wrest the headband??? off his head blindly throws it away. ] Reindeer is renne, by the way.

[ The pronunciations makes his mouth twitch. ]
You're both sayin' it wrong. [ he flicks Mikoto on the forehead first, before flicking Totsuka's. ] Idiots. I take it ya both don't quite care for the moon base.

[ That was a really... long... pause... Kougyoku gets all too excited when she gets his reply. ]
Then show me your power! [ She takes her hairpin, which transforms into a large, blue sword. This is what she has been waiting for. ] Yata says I have to get through him before I can face you, but I don't want him to die. You'll give me a better fight, won't you?

What fo— [ sputters. The reason sounds so trivial when she says it in her head, but... ]
Because, because I'm curious! Everyone is always talking about how great the Red King is. I've faced off with even the most fearsome king in my world... I want to see how great the kings from other worlds are! I want to see if I can go all out in battle like before!
