#viago is totally not jealous about the fact that rook is close to lucanis and has an incredibly weird but tight bond

[cybershock24601]

personally I think Viago would be way more upset and insane about a crow Rook and Lucanis having a close platonic bond then he would be about them being in a romantic relationship because if they're dating that's fine, it's whatever. Viago doesn't have to be happy about it but he can deal. de Riva and Lucanis being besties and having an almost sibling like bond though? oh Viago is losing it completely because who does Lucanis think he is stealing Viago's little sibling protege annoyance like that

when Teia confronts Viago about his insanely obvious jealously he probably tries to play it off as not wanting Lucanis to poach Rook for House Dellamorte but really Viago is upset that Rook isn't coming in to bother him anymore at 2 pm on the dot everyday anymore and is instead going to bug Lucanis into feeding them because at least someone doesn't poison Rook's coffee every time they hang out.

Rook probably doesn't notice right away and put together why Viago is being extra grouchy but once Rook picks up on it I can see Rook going full >:3 about it and start trying to play Lucanis and Viago off each other like a kid going to whichever parent is more likely to say yes to their requests. Teia is the first to realize exactly what Rook is doing and go "really?" with Rook only shrugging mischievously and gesture to their growing pile of gifts from the two Talons because Rook is going to milk their two older brothers for everything they've got before they catch on to Rook's grift. Teia throws up her hands at the three of them and settles in with a cup of the fancy coffee Lucanis gifted Rook to watch the chaos unfold.
