The pang of irritation simply crystallizes into cold anger—the man would prefer to piss in a bowl than a toilet! He can't even potty train him, one because he doesn't have the time and two because he isn't his goddamn parent. Taking in a traumatized genetic testing subject was going to be hard, of course, but Adonis wonders if he wasn't in some sort of mania when he agreed to take Edward in. "No. You cannot." The mutation recognizes dominance, he supposes, but is it really dominance is Adonis is simply tired of picking up after the man? "You'll learn to wear clothes and piss in a toilet like the rest of us. Sometimes, you do things, even if you don't want to—and if you have the urge to piss on anything else I own, try the toilet, alright?"

ed grumbles low in the back of his throat, just shy of a real growl. he knows better than to show aggression in his presence. even so, knowing that doesn't stop his claws from sliding out. it's instinctual. "yes," he mumbles, arms slowly slinking around his own waist, hugging himself. "can i just do that?"

Adonis works on the assumption that this man works his mind as quickly as a well-trained wolf, but even so, he can only hold his displeasure and his tongue for so long until things came to a boil. Taking the man from a genetic testing site to be a bodyguard seemed like a kinder fate—that showed him. Doing a good deed isn't in the cards anymore. "No," he says flatly, thinking of the cost of furnishing an outdoor bathroom just for Edward. "Do you just want to piss and shit in a fucking bowl outside? Is that it?"

"i don't like to go there." the tone in adonis' voice tells ed everything he needs to hear—that he's won disapproval again. it's strange. everything ed likes, adonis seems to hate! "can't i go somewhere else instead? it's too closed in. you know i don't like that." ironically, it's the place he likes to relieve himself the least. he would much rather do it outside... or on something he owns, so that people know that he owns it.

If there is a God, He must have turned a blind eye to him when Adonis put Edward under his service. Edward is useful. Resourceful. But he wants to scream into the pillow every time something like this happens. Carrot before the stick. "People use the bathroom. I know you're used to pissing on the floor, but haven't I trained you to go to the bathroom in the appropriate place?" Those were dark days. Shit in places Adonis never thought. "Should we go over it again?"

"because it's..." he trails off, frowning. because it's mine. but he knows the moment he says that, he's going to be reprimanded. "because... i think of it as mine. and... i wanted to make sure nobody else took it." and after a beat, "i don't like the bathroom."

Adonis regrets having him as his bodyguard—Edward is effective, but he acts like a beast most times. "Dare I ask why you would piss on the couch?" The cleaner is going to have a field day with this. "The bathroom is quite literally a few steps away."

starter for @ofruinations !! ( for adonis )

"i'm sorry..." he grumbles, as annoyed as he is apologetic. "i won't pee on your couch anymore."
