some grumpy grump hates kids

[No formal introductions here since Fenris is preoccupied with the noise coming from down the hall.]

I returned to my quarters to find the others rooming with me to be missing and shrieks echoing down the hallway.

Perhaps it should be of no concern, but it seems some of the younger ones among us are murdering each other collectively in some strange ritual. I am uncertain of if it would be wise to intrude, though advice would be appreciated as to whether or not I should bolt the door and bar them from returning as punishment for their unruly behavior.

[Not that he hasn't already done just that.]

Leave us alone, oi, we haven't gotten to have fun in ages! It'll end when it ends!

[Really you're just going to bring bad things on yourself if you try to crash it, Fenris. A lot of squawky youngsters. And Ibuki.]

[trulyfree]

[A good point, actually. Why should he go and provoke his roommates when he has safely bolted them out? No, Ibuki and Robin can stay with the other children. Fenris quite likes having this entire suite to himself.

At any rate, they were empty threats, so when Souda reacts the way he does, Fenris just laughs in amusement. You should be grateful he found the bar in the room and is drinking again, really.]

Defensive, aren't you? Do not fret, I shan't be spoiling you fun tonight, even if it is rather tempting. Just know that if it occurs again, I may not be as generous.

[Souda makes a mental sound at the laugh, almost indignant, but hey. But defensive is to Souda as... well, as broody is to Fenris. Defensive is his jam.]

I-I'm not... [But he'll mentally huff satisfaction.] Fine, I get it, we'll remember it!

[trulyfree]

Good.

[Yes, feel how pleased he is at your reluctant albeit inevitable submission to his request!]

And you know that you really shouldn't say we as if you can properly speak for the others, yes? You'll only bring more trouble for yourself by doing so. Which reminds me that I should take your name so that I can hold you to your word.

My name is-- uh--

[... he doesn't want to give him it. 8( He doesn't want to be in trouble.] Well, y'know... it's uh...

[He's trying to come up with a fake name...]
