Ryker Dublin

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Gives you a morning and goodnight kiss every day without fail, considers it a vital part of their routine now that you're with them

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Loves to give you kisses as reassurance, especially if you're not feeling well for any reason. They like to hold you close and give little pecks while easing your worries or stress together

ᯓᡣ𐭩 You always manage to get them to flush, no matter if it's a cheek kiss or a little peck on the cheek, they get flustered no matter what

ᯓᡣ𐭩 They'll silently ask for one by leaning their head towards you a bit more whenever you're in close proximity to one another, but they prefer to wait for when you don't seem busy

Accardi Florentino:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Very gentle when kissing you, makes sure you're comfortable the whole time and really attentive to preferences

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Always likes to tease you a bit before giving you a proper kiss, one of his favorites being kissing around your mouth instead of actually on your lips

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Gives you little kisses as rewards for completing a favor or as a means of saying thank you for helping him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Surprisingly becomes flustered when you're the one to initiate kisses, he acts like a dork when not keeping up his charming personality

Juliek Octavia:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Gives you kisses very frequently. Physical closeness is very important to him, so as long as you're okay with it, he's perfectly content spending time just kissing you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Tends to give you a flury of kisses across your face if he's excited about something, while holding you in the tightest hug he can manage

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Does this stupid little giddy giggle if you catch him off guard with a kiss. Absolutely forbids you from telling anyone about it. Anyone who hears it has to swear to secrecy

ᯓᡣ𐭩 The bigger and more obnoxious kiss you can give him, the better. He thinks it's funny with how stupidly cheesy the action is and it lifts him out of a sour mood

Vittorino:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Either horribly messy when it comes to giving kisses or always acts like it's gonna be the last time he can ever do it, no inbetween

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Refuses to give so much as a peck on the cheek if you're around others, but once alone he's insistent on giving you a kiss for almost every task completed

ᯓᡣ𐭩 On a good day you can get him to make this grumpy embarrassed expression when giving him a little kiss but he hates if you ever compliment it cause he's trying to act miffed

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Will outright just ask you for a kiss if he wants one, usually by getting close to you at the same time. Sometimes he's more flirty about it, but if he's annoyed he'll just straight up ask

Beetle:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Very confused how you expect him to be able to give you a kiss when he's lacking a proper mouth

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Sometimes leans down and lightly presses his mask against you as a replication of the kiss motion to achieve the effect

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Doesn't really understand what kisses mean outside of them being an act of affection, so he does accept them, but might accidentally seem apathetic when doing so

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Makes a soft little trill of enjoyment whenever you give him a kiss on his mask, but he'll pretend to gently chastise you about it to cover up having to admit that

Dante:

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Presses his face to yours without taking the mask off and just kinda. Breathes against you. With these really wide pupils

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Sometimes removes the mask to give an actual kiss, but he'll keep pretending to try and bite your face before and after (he's just playing)

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Receives kisses better than he gives him, always chuckles about it and pulls you in for an embrace whenever you give them

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Will straight up step over whatever you're doing to just kneel in front of you and go "kiss." whenever he wants one

I did a bad thing.

I don't have the motivation to finish this, I'm so creatively burnt out on Homestuck chat.

I did classpect almost all the characters though so here are those under the cut;

Ryker; Heir of Doom

Accardi; Witch of Blood Vittorino; Bard of Hope

Gabriel: Page of Mind

Juliek; Maid of Heart

Leon; ??? of Life idk yet

Dante; Prince of Life

Dakota; Mage of Space

Can't figure out Wankou sorry

Anyways since this is a Homestuck post, fuck you Makin.

...

If any of you have 8:11 art ideas please tell me I feel art block coming on.

ok here are the links;

Please look into orgs and fundraisers to help the DRC (here are a few right now x x x x x)

Support the vetted fundraisers at Gaza Funds and Sudan Funds however you can.

Also, BUY AND DONATE ESIMS!

[du-buk]

sorry if this is a weird q but do you have a master post somewhere of all the ref sheets you made for the 8:11 characters? I remember seeing accardi and ryker's but I was wonder if there are others (GRANTED I am on mobile and maybe just missed them)

Not weird at all ^^

I have unfortunately removed some reference sheets of characters from my blog, as they were outdated (I think they all are, to a degree). I think I removed Gabriel’s (uniform and age changed), Dante’s (design change), and other minor characters (some were spoilers).

In the mean time I’ve been trying to create better refs like so;

You can find the old references here;

Ryker[x], Leon[x], Beetle[x], Accardi[x], Juliek[x], Vittorino[x]

☆ How About An Orange? — 8:11 x GN Reader ☆

Genre: Fluff || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

A/N: For the unaware, oranges are a sign of love/luck in Rosso Cadere, so I had the idea of Reader giving some characters an orange because of this! It's really up to interpretation if you know the symbolism or not here. Also yes some of the characters are really hard to see unless under specific circumstances in the lore but shhh fanfic magic

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

Ryker Dublin

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Speechless initially, then you see a small blush crawl up their face

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Second-guessing everything. They only found out recently what oranges meant here- did you not know? Should they just tell you? What's the appropriate response here??? Maybe it was just for luck and they're overthinking???

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Awkwardly and bashfully thanks you while stowing it away for later, but gives you a subtle hint about not just giving them around to everyone you meet in case someone gets the wrong idea

Accardi Florentino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Genuinely very caught off guard- an orange? From you? He didn't expect such a token so suddenly

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Just holds the orange cupped in his palms, silently staring at it and processing the situation before bringing himself back to the present and trying to shake off his fluster

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Offers to take you out sometime not long after receiving it and gives you one in return the next time you meet up

Juliek Octavia

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Looks at it. Then you. Then the orange again. Does a back and forth quite a few times as his face slowly gets more red

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Tries very very hard to hide any signs of being embarrassed and brushes off any questions about it in a brisk but not quite as dignified as he wants it to be manner

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Starts store hunting the next day for a gift to give you in return, but he keeps second guessing whatever he picks because he wants it to be 'special enough'

Vittorino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 His first question is if you stole this from the tree in the Basilica, already beginning to lecture you about being a thief before you gently cut him off to reassure it's from somewhere else

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Sort of chuckles as he looks over it and makes a comment to you about the symbolism behind it, but he accepts it nevertheless and calls you bold for handing one out to begin with

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Runs his hands over it occasionally while it stays in his possession, seeing the little grooves in the peel. He's actually really touched at the gesture, he's just terrible at admitting it

Beetle

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Informs you that he doesn't need to eat and that it would be pretty pointless of him to snack on it, but he accepts it when you offer it again

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Doesn't much hang onto the symbolism himself, but finds a bit of a charm in the notion, especially that you'd extend such kindness to him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He still goes on a bit about the pragmatic side of things, but he doesn't let go of the fruit for quite a while at the same time

Dante

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Eats it whole as soon as you hand it to him. Yes with the peel still on. While making direct eye contact.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Thanks you for it anyways and calls it an 'offering to [his] cause'... whatever that's supposed to mean- at least he seems happy?

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Begins following you around like a raccoon afterward and pops by on random visits to inquire if you have any more food on you

[fanged-fanfics]

Is it possible that I, a member of the short community, can request hcs for the 8:11 with a short s/o? Thankssss ✨✨💥💥

Ryker Dublin

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Ryker's never much thought of height when it comes to partners, and they always assumed they were about average height anyway. It wasn't exactly hard to be taller than them

ᯓᡣ𐭩 But when it comes to you, they've got a good few inches on your height. They'd tease about it here or there, but they always wanted to make sure you were at least comfortable with their little jabs

ᯓᡣ𐭩 They always offered to get things for you, anywhere you couldn't reach they'd gladly either hold you up to it or bring it down for you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Sometimes compared you to small animals when making petnames, very fondly attributing you to things like mice, rabbits, and all manner of cute creatures

Accardi Florentino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Being around 6'3", Accardi had a rather obvious height difference to you. He took note of it rather quickly, and once you became partners together, he decided to use this to charm you whenever he could

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He'd lean against doorways to tower over you, hold you close to his frame to feel the difference in size, and rest his chin atop your head to show affection

ᯓᡣ𐭩 His absolute favorite thing to do would be tilting your chin up so your eyes could meet, gently guiding your gaze with his hands to make sure your gazes held while he relayed information

ᯓᡣ𐭩 However, if you tug him down to be closer to your height, his usual composure goes out the window, and he becomes the flustered one for once, too nervous to hold conversation

Juliek Octavia

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Absolutely a shameless flirt about the height difference. He's not exactly 6ft range himself, but he's close enough to tease you whenever he can

ᯓᡣ𐭩 "Are you sure you can manage, darling? I can always lend you a hand. Don't pout, dear, we both know you can't reach"

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Anytime you cuddle, he makes sure your head is tucked into his chest. He finds it immensely comfortable and loves to feel your breath ghosting his collar

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Absolutely tries to coddle you over it. It's all in good fun, mostly just him joking around with you, but he finds your frustrated looks so cute and endearing

Vittorino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Leans towards the taller side, and doesn't really mind your height compared to him. He's not one to tease about it much, unless to deliberately rile you up

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Really loves when you play into the difference, though. Seeing the difference in your size to his feels like holding the most precious little dove in his hands

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Acts annoyed if he ever has to do something for you, but never denies the request. Yeah he'll roll his eyes and gripe, but whatever you need is getting handed to you immediately

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He'll outright pick you up and just carry you to safety if he thinks you're in a dangerous situation. Bridal style, over the shoulder, whatever he can manage. Besides, he likes how flustered you get when he does

Beetle

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Seeing as the angel is around 8'0" in height, basically everyone comes across as shorter than him, and he notifies you of this if you ever express insecurity over your size

ᯓᡣ𐭩 One time when you mentioned size, he deliberately shifted himself to make his height shorter than yours. He inquires if this made you feel better while looking up at you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 If you mention not being able to see something, he'll lift you under the arms so you can get a better view, or simply just let you sit on his shoulders to observe

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He reminds you that, to him, all humans are very small regardless, and if it makes you feel better, you're a very lovely no matter the size or shape of your being

Dante Basilio

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Compares you to any nickname he can think of that has an ending to it that implies smallness. Tesoruccio, amorino, couricino. And his absolute favorite, mostriciattolo

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He loves to use his height advantage to spook you from time to time, like hiding and jumping out or eerily standing next to something equaling his size. He's just a little strange all around, but you've come to adore that about him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Loves to lean overhead, especially when you reward him with a little kiss from his eyes meeting yours. He always grins widely behind his mask and wraps you against his chest in return

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Offers to carry you basically everywhere, especially if he can balance you on his back while doing so. He also doesn't mind being a makeshift leg-up if you need a boost

Leon

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Finds you absolutely adorable. He loves to bring attention to it, but is also careful to not come across as patronizing. The second you ask him to stop, he will, he just can't resist thinking of you as precious

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Gently dissuades any worries you have regarding your size. Why should it matter, whether tall or short? Are trees judged by their growth? No, you see them for the sturdiness of their bark, and the beauty of their greenery. You're much too lovely to worry about one facet of yourself

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He does tend to wrap his arms around you quite often, loving to press his cheek to yours no matter how far down he has to bend his back to do it, just to get a sense of your warmth

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Due to his talk with you about the meaning behind trees and such to comfort you, he comes to call you "Une pousse"

Could I request hcs for how the 8:11 characters would be with like a SUPER physically affection s/o?

Thx! :P🫰

Genre: Fluff || they/them pronouns for reader || No warnings needed

──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────

Ryker Dublin

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Gets somewhat surprised at times when you initiate affection, but they reciprocate pretty casually after getting used to it

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Cuddling when they're home is a great way for them to unwind when they've had a hard day, they always spoon you when they're feeling especially tired

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Actually seeks out your clinging whenever they're upset, they like the reassurance that they have someone on their side, and your presence helps that a lot

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Your affectionate nature ends up bringing out their own clingy side whenever they feel comfortable around you, soon they're seeking you out for a hug or handhold almost all the time

Accardi Florentino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Always pleasantly surprised whenever you start hanging onto him, but he makes sure to make room for you wherever he is so you can sit with him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Makes sure to give you little kisses or small tokens of love if he can't be fully returning your embrace to show his appreciation nevertheless

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Loves to cook you a meal so whenever you two have a planned time to just be paying attention to each other, you can be full as well

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He'll coo and tease you a lot whenever you're by his side, but he'd honestly be more offended if you didn't cling to him so much

Juliek Octavia

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Intimacy is one of Juliek's primary love language, if not the biggest, so he absolutely adores when you cling to him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Especially enjoys if you sit in his lap, he loves being able to keep an arm around you in return and keep his chin on your shoulder

ᯓᡣ𐭩 A very affectionate person himself, so it's likely he'll be just as affectionate to you as you are to him, at the very least keeping an arm around you constantly

ᯓᡣ𐭩 You're both easily that typical 'very open with PDA' couple, Juliek has zero qualms about making it obvious who he's with and that includes holding and coddling you back

Vittorino

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Though he might not seem it, he deeply loves the comfort of physical touch, so he never really brushes you off whenever you cling onto him

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Since you're both usually alone in the Basilica, he let's you hang around whenever he's trying to work around the place and teaches you the layout while he's at it

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Tries to act like he's not that clingy, but he latches onto you like an octopus whenever you're sleeping beside one another and wraps almost completely around you

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Usually keeps a lot calmer than normal if you're there giving him physical reassurance, it takes him off that edge he's usually keyed up on and makes him more at ease

Beetle

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Maybe not the best at showing it due to his natural stoicism, but he finds the amount of affection you give amusing in mildly puzzling way

ᯓᡣ𐭩 He gives you little gestures in return to show you love in return, but he tends to talk a lot about human love from the perspective of an angel while doing so

ᯓᡣ𐭩 You could really cling to him as much as you want, even if he just simply stands there and allows it without much comment, he appreciates it all quite a bit

ᯓᡣ𐭩 The most he does, on average, is hold your hand while walking around, but for such a stoic being detached from human concepts, it's a big step to him

Dante

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Like everything he does, he's a little eerie with his reception, but you can tell in how he holds you back that he enjoys the contact

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Makes little comments about how brave you are for being so affectionate to a hunter and then gets upset if you pull back too early

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Returns your affection in equal measure, whenever he has free time it's almost always spent laying on you and staring into your eyes while cuddling

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Sometimes he'll pick you up to feel closer to you whenever you're hanging with him, he loves seeing your face and feeling your arms around him

Quiet. That's what the Basilica was these days. With there only really being one main inhabitant, the silence was a common occurrence. That is, until you. Vittorino hadn't anticipated your presence, but as the two of you steadily got closer, he began to hear you more and more. A comment here, a chuckle there. Music, he concluded. To him, your voice and tones were a symphony, something to fill his mind instead of the much less than pleasant thoughts that usually held it. He could swear, in the dimly lit corners of bypassed worship, he could still find the same warmth given to those hearing the heavenly choir. Music only made by you.

While he mulled over it, deep in thought, he almost forgot there was another presence in the room. He was reminded of such when you gently tapped his shoulder, making him jolt and reflexively grip the tattered scarf he wore. You were mildly alarmed yourself at the reaction. "Sorry, Vitto, but- I was calling your name for a while, and you didn't respond" you said softly, rubbing his shoulder in reassurance. Vittorino sighed, tension leaving him as he sat back up. He collected himself for a second before refocusing his gaze to you "Don't worry, Angelo Mio, it's perfectly fine".

You gave a mildly concerned hum at his flatter, even tone. You wrapped your arm to link it with his, pressing your shoulders together "You seem more tired since I last visited. That or Juliek finally convinced you to try mascara, and you smudged it all". Vittorino wanted to complain at the very insinuation, but he found himself scoffing a little laugh instead. "Never. But it's fine, really. Devotion never sleeps, so I don't see why I have to. I'm a vessel of the Basilica after all". "See? That" you said, poking his face a bit "That's the kind of talk you start doing when you're absolutely out of your mind. And you know I love your big sermons, but you're saying gibberish". You tilted your head a bit "When was the last time you slept? As in a full night of sleep".

"I sleep every night, it's fine" Vittorino said, gently removing your hand from his face and interlacing your fingers. "That doesn't answer my question" you pointed out. Vittorino gave a long pause, looking off to the side as he tried to think up something to say. He eventually replied in a low grumble, "I'm not tired". You sighed, leaning onto him a bit more "V, come on, we talked about this. Can you take just one nap at least?". The pale priest opened his mouth to argue, but the words died in the back of his mouth when he saw the little creases in your brow and frown showing a concerned look. He visibly softened, leaning forwards to press his forehead to yours in a show of relent "Fine".

You smiled, brushing your nose against his affectionately. "I'll stay with you, if it helps?" You offered tentatively. Vittorino nodded "It would. You wouldn't imagine what kinds of things can sink in through these walls if I'm not watching them, Tesoro". You leaned back, noting his less than enthusiastic expression. Vittorino was relentless to uninvited visitors to the Basilica, but somehow managed to be even crueler to himself. You gave him a sympathetic look before giving a soft tug with your linked arms. He accepted the gesture, following after you as you traveled down one of the many astoundingly eerie and confusing hallways.

With Vittorino as your guide, finding the rectory wasn't much of a challenge. Traditionally the rectory would be disconnected from the main church, but the Basilica was as confusing as it was dusty, so by now you'd come to learn not to question too much about it. He used a special key hidden in his robes to unlock the door, holding it open for you. The room was small, modestly decorated, and rather bare, all things considered. But it had a bed with a mattress both big and comfortable enough for you both, so it was going to do perfectly.

"You're very demanding, Coure Mio" Vittorino mumbled, voice soft and drowsiness sewn into his attempted snark. You kissed the side of his chin. "If it keeps you out of trouble, I will be". Vittorino chuckled, wrapping himself tighter around you with a soft "Stay". It was more a statement than a request, but you threaded your fingers into his hair and simply said "I will, don't worry". He finally let his heavy eyelids slip shut, exhaling and letting his muscles loosen with the motion. The last you heard from him was a drowsily mumbled "Molte grazie, luce dei miei occhi" before he finally seemed to fall asleep.

Vittorino closed the door to the room right as you pulled back the covers and slid into bed. The mattress was stiff yet supportive, and you patted the spot right beside you. The priest couldn't help but smile at the sight, stepping up to sit beside you. You gently held him around the waist and tugged him to be laying down properly. "Come on, get comfortable!" You encouraged. Vittorino pulled the covers over himself, wrapping his slender arms around you and pulling you into his chest. His nose gently nestled against your head, lips pressing a soft kiss to your forehead in silent thanks. You traced the lines of his face, providing a soft support for his cheek via the palm of your hand. He melted into you like his very bones were relaxing, wrapped so closely that you could hear his heartbeat against your cheek.

You closed your eyes as well, burying yourself just a hint more into his embrace. For once, everything was quiet and peaceful in the Basilica. With your arms wrapped snugly around Vittorino's waist and your head over his heart, you let yourself fall asleep to the rhythmic beats. Music in its own right. Forever your own lullaby, just as your voice was his.

You stood before a home unfamiliar to you, Vittorino beside you as he knocked on the door to it. You gave a cautious glance his way, and despite his stoicism, he gave you a brief smile. "I know these guys, don't worry. It's about time they met you, lord knows they've been asking for ages". You gave a little snort at that "I'm in high demand, huh?". "Just be careful" Vittorino replied "They're real vultures"

Before you could ask what that meant, the door pulled open, a man with a large pink fluffed accessory around his shoulders answering the door. "There you are! I was wondering when you'd make it, did you get stuck at-?" The man began, before his words abruptly cut once seeing you. "Oh.. one moment" he said, disappearing back into his home. After a few seconds of distant chatter, the pink man held open the door once again "Come in, come in, just don't get your shoes on my rug"

Once you entered, a man clad in mostly purple was awaiting inside on the couch. Bottles were on the table before it, and the pink one sat right next to the purple, leaning onto his shoulder. "This, Accardi, is that friend we've been waiting to see" he said, and the one revealed to be named Accardi looked to you. He gave you a reassuring, easy grin. You sat on the rug after taking off your shoes, beside Vittorino. "You've heard me mention her before, don't be coy, Juliek" Vittorino said. Juliek gave a grin as he sipped wine from a wide glass "No need to be so defensive, my dear priest, I'm just glad to see you're in such good company"

Vittorino just sighed, sliding out a tied bag from beneath his robes. He placed it on the table "I brought what we need. Home-brewed, as always". Before you could even get a glance, Accardi had snagged it up, Juliek quickly putting down his glass "You're a lifesaver, Vitto, you know that?". "I prefer miracle worker" Vittorino said with a little grin. He then stood, addressing you "I'll be heading to the kitchen, can't trip on an empty stomach. You need anything?" He asked you. "No, I'm okay" you said, giving Vittorino a smile that he returned before stepping out of the room.

As soon as you turned back, the eyes of his two friends were on you. Not judgemental or cruel... you think. The way they had such languidly confident grins made it seem hard to gague anything about them, but you knew they were sizing you up. "So, how did you do it?" Accardi asked. "Did what?" You asked back. "Get close to Vittorino" Juliek replied for his friend "We've been trying to get him out of that Basilica for ages, for more than just these little meetings we do. He's so withdrawn, we were surprised to hear he'd found company other than us"

"Ohhh. That's a little complicated, and it wasn't necessarily easy" You responded "But he's a good guy, I'm sure you two agree". "Eh, he's okay" Juliek shrugged. Accardi gave him a little nudge, before wrapping his arm around Juliek's shoulders. "He's been distant from us. We were worried, really. But you.. he hasn't stopped talking about you" Accardi said. You perked up a little at that "Really?". "Absolutely" Accardi responded "Almost every time he's around, we hear about this mysterious ally. You, as we came to learn". He then leaned forwards, and Juliek willingly let the man sip from his glass, holding it up for him. "You seem to keep him grounded" Juliek went on "It's nice, really. I was almost convinced he'd forgotten what sunshine was, with how pale he is"

You chuckled right as Vittorino came back, wiping the remnants of what he'd eaten off of his mouth "You're making a laugh out of me, Juliek? I wouldn't speak too loud if I were you". Juliek grinned rather than bristled, leaning into Accardi more "Nothing like that, don't worry that ragged head of yours over it. Just chatting with your friend". Vittorino went back to sitting beside you, leaning his shoulder against yours. "Don't listen to him, he'll peck at anything if it'll cause a rumor". "You say that like it's a bad thing" Accardi chuckled. Vittorino laughed with him, before having the bag slid his way. "Ah, right" Vittorino began, looking to you "I've told you what happens at these hangouts, you don't have to take part in it"

"Though it might help you loosen up" Juliek added in. Accardi pat his shoulder "Don't be that way, let her go at her own pace. She can make sure you don't do anything stupid". Juliek just huffed, pouring himself a full glass again. "Apologies in advance, ma'am" he said, giving you a more friendly smile "It's our way of bonding. We'll find a way to get you a cab, if you ever want to leave". "Thank you" you said with a returned smile, feeling Vittorino link his arm with yours as he leaned his head upon your shoulder. You returned it, patting his back. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
