#today on caelus please do not put that random object in your mouth we have

[raytm]

sighs... staring in disbelief and concern caelus,, please tell me you didnt actually try to eat a cactus..

Uh oh, he cannot shake the feeling that he has earnt Dan Heng’s scrutiny, had he lingered too close to the cactus for too long, were those tiny needles sticking out of his intruding fingers. Caelus gives him an apologetic look, raising his hands in atonement revealing irritated fingertips, a worrying shade of red.

❝...  not yet, ❞  a pause as the realization dawns on him, glancing between him & the offending cactus. ❝  I can eat it ? ❞  he’s looking at it like he’s quite likely considering the best way to wedge it into his mouth.
