[He can act however he wants - Jae-ha doesn't seem at all different from the week before. There might be a slight tiredness around his eyes, but it's definitely one of those 'blink and you'll miss it' details.]
Hmm? That's so much colder than you've treated me before.
[when they would HEADBUTT EACH OTHER VERBALLY
but regardless jae-ha will just bring up his arms then and toss zelos something. a fairly warm, draping something. if he holds it up, he'll find a cloak]
[He didn't mean to catch the altercation that went down between Zelos and 2B - but it was rather hard to miss.
It's sometime after. After dinner, after he gets some time to stretch his legs, and after he's pulled another bottle of alcohol from the kitchen that he goes to find him.]
but Jae-ha will just quietly shake his head and let Zelos take the bottle. he brought glasses with him and he sets them down, even if he's fine with them not being used
for now he'll be quiet. he's not here to pry.
even if he's not sure how much his company would help either]
On top of one of the grandfather clocks in the castle, there sits a a mask. It's a bit tall, inconvenient to reach, but Jae-ha knows that if he jumps it'd be a simple matter to retrieve it. The question is... whether or not he should.
When Zelos wanders by, Jae-ha waves his greeting followed by - ]
Do you think the castle is playing tricks on us again?
[ There is the slightest moment of hesitation when Jae-ha calls out to him. But it's gone as soon as it makes itself known. Zelos saunters over, smiling, hands in his pockets. ]
Don't think this castle has done anything but mess with us.
[Jae-ha hums pleasantly. The impact on his hand stings faintly - but that's a good feeling too. One that he hasn't gotten to enjoy as of late. So he raises a brow at Zelos.
[ Jae-ha will find Zelos frowning, looking a little like his brain got fried. He's sitting at the desk in the owlery, blank parchment in front of him along with Sanji's big angry gay letter.
[tbh yeah jae-ha is wandering to the owlery because he has letters to write in response to his own
but he looks at zelo's expression
and then the letter
and then back
and he goes through a mental checklist because
- monika sure is dead so she wouldn't see a need to write a letter to zelos - reyna is also dead and therefore wouldn't see a reason to write to him - so that sure does leave one contestant of the Worst Taste Bachelor left]

week 1, tuesday
[It's snowing.
Jae-ha notices that when he's staring out the window, and then turns when he hears footsteps. Upon seeing Zelos, he offers a smile and wave.]
Hello, beautiful. Got a minute? ♥
no subject
Uh, depends on what you want— I guess.
[ Truthfully, he's not really sure how to act around Jae-ha after their painfully honest exchanges. ]
no subject
Hmm? That's so much colder than you've treated me before.
[when they would HEADBUTT EACH OTHER VERBALLY
but regardless jae-ha will just bring up his arms then and toss zelos something. a fairly warm, draping something. if he holds it up, he'll find a cloak]
At least take this before you go.
no subject
Cute.
[ He turns it around, and over, examining it every which way. ]
You make this, pretty boy?
no subject
[no it wasn't]
I'm just helping with delivery.

week 2 - saturday
pcs that are SADDER and GAYER
Jae-ha will find Zelos in the water, submerged up to his nose.
When he sees Jae-ha he will rise slightly, just so his mouth isn't muffled by water. ]
Do me a favor?
[ He offers him a hair tie that'd been wrapped around his wrist. ]
Tie my hair back.
no subject
but jae-ha will be approaching even if he's. still wearing his boots. for fuck's sake, jae-ha.
and he snorts faintly even as he goes to sit by the water, reaching out to take the hair tie]
Just tie it back? I could braid it, if you'd like.
no subject
Whatever your heart desires, doesn't matter to me as long as its out of my face.
[ He gives Jae-ha a withering look ]
You ever gonna take those babies off?
[ he's referring to the boots, obviously ]
no subject
I was hoping that everyone else would rather spend their evenings in a different way after all that - it's a soak that I'd rather take by myself.
[So he doesn't mind working on Zelos's hair instead - and he will braid it, because it both buys him time and gives his hands something to do.]
Even I have some parts about myself that are ugly, you know?
no subject
[ the feeling of someone working with his hair is nice. he shuts his eyes and leans back into Jae-ha's touch just a little. ]
.. Most people would probably forgive anything you think is ugly about yourself, anyway.

week 3, friday
It's sometime after. After dinner, after he gets some time to stretch his legs, and after he's pulled another bottle of alcohol from the kitchen that he goes to find him.]
... shall we have a drink?
no subject
He says nothing, just wordlessly reaches for the bottle in Jae-ha's hand ]
no subject
zelos you could at least wipe your face
but Jae-ha will just quietly shake his head and let Zelos take the bottle. he brought glasses with him and he sets them down, even if he's fine with them not being used
for now he'll be quiet. he's not here to pry.
even if he's not sure how much his company would help either]
no subject
If you're here to yell at me, save it. She started it.

week 5, wednesday
On top of one of the grandfather clocks in the castle, there sits a a mask. It's a bit tall, inconvenient to reach, but Jae-ha knows that if he jumps it'd be a simple matter to retrieve it. The question is... whether or not he should.
When Zelos wanders by, Jae-ha waves his greeting followed by - ]
Do you think the castle is playing tricks on us again?
no subject
Don't think this castle has done anything but mess with us.
[ He nods toward the mask ]
Something special?
no subject
Something that belongs to a friend. But if you can see it that means it's not an illusion....
I'm going to get it - call Sanji or something if unfortunate circumstances befall me suddenly?
week 6, sunday
Where, exactly?]
Think quick!
no subject
no subject
He swallows down the taste of iron, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, before wiping any residual red onto his shirt. ]
Nice to see you too.
no subject
Lightly:]
I think the circumstances could be better.
We could both be alive, for one.

week 7, thursday
Care to take a gander, Jae-ha? ]
no subject
but he looks at zelo's expression
and then the letter
and then back
and he goes through a mental checklist because
- monika sure is dead so she wouldn't see a need to write a letter to zelos
- reyna is also dead and therefore wouldn't see a reason to write to him
- so that sure does leave one contestant of the Worst Taste Bachelor left]
Chef writing you sweet little nothings?
no subject
Sweet? Don't know if that's what I'd call it.
[ he's not stupid enough to be embarrassed over something like this, mostly he just looks a little troubled. ]
He had me pretty convinced when he said he wasn't into guys.
no subject
He really confessed?
[though he doesn't sound even remotely surprised about sanji's actual feelings at all]
