[ pien....... ]
That is what I am aiming to save up for, actually. I much prefer working at my own pace rather than for someone else, don't you think so?
[ he takes a knife and starts cutting the cake: first for murr, then himself. ]
Not a cat bar, however. There are plenty of cat cafes around.

[ oh my god. shylock just murdered their future child? with a knife?? right in front of him???
MY GOD THEIR CHILD IS CAKE
well, no matter. it certainly looks tasty on the inside... white cake, a layer of frosting. even a little bit of jam! ]
Mmm. Well, I guess it'd have'ta be a human bar. Or youkai bar. No wizards other than us, right?
[ he pulls a fork out... from somewhere... and proceeds to stab at the dessert. ]
But yeah! You should do what you want. I like it when you're happy.

[ they're too fucked up to be parents.......... except for that one time they'd looked after mitile at figaro's behest BUT ]
Do you, now.
[ that's nice of you, murr. weirdly. it almost feels like there's something else attached to that, but one can't blame shylock for being a touch wary. ]
There might be other wizards in this world that function differently from us. I mustn't exclude them. As to whether I include humans this time around is up in the air for now.... [ since not every human is prejudiced towards their kind and all. ] Have you met some as of late, Murr?

[ yes. be on alert, shylock. c: ]
Ooh? Yeah, I have! There's a few that carry neat swords, and then there's this young human who reminds me of a cat!
[ the nice boy who gave him some money, and then he ended up spending it on the bakeneko. all going to a good place in the end. ]
They're kinda in the same boat as we are. So I guess as long as they're not doing anything bad, then...
[ he leaves his cake so that he can sweep around and behind shylock, draping his arms over his shoulders. ]
... we don't have to either. Riiiiight?
[ not like that's going to stop murr. ]

[ yabai.......
it'd be real funny if they were talking about the same human catboy though. there's only one person that fits the bill in shylock's mind right now.
the physical contact is something that he never knew he needed though, and shylock leans into murr's touch with a sigh. ]
We're wizards. We're bound to do bad things. [ fufu. ] Though you have been behaving for a while now, so how should I reward you?
[ murr will always going to be a menace but at least today he's just chillin. they're just chillin, and they can pretend that their circumstances in hell are all right in this moment. ]

[ they are indeed chillin. besides, it's not like murr wants to return to his original living space anyway; there are two youkai that might be waiting for their prospective third to join in at any time, and murr's not about that life. no, he's still waiting for the moon to come and join him and shylock. ]
Praise! [ a pause, then: ] Pats! [ and then another: ] A party!
[ all kinds of 'p' words. ]
Or maybe I'll just take what I want?
[ like, shylock's lap for instance, crawling onto it. ]

[ of all the threesomes to have with.........
and look at that, he's just taking what he wants now. shylock lets out a soft sigh as he places his hands on murr's shoulders and leans close to his ear. behold his asmr voice. ]
You've got your party, your pats...
[ patpatpat his head ]
Do you want me to call you a good boy, then?

[ if murr had cat ears right about now, they'd be flicking and twitching and all of that. who's to say he doesn't have some that lurk beneath his hair in the first place...
maybe one day...
anyway. he raises his chin, just slightly, smile growing as it starts from the outside with raised cheeks and closing eyes. ]
You don't have to call me anything.
[ he bleps petulantly. ]
Show me what bad things you do to good boys, Shylock!

[ tbh if shylock had cat ears right now, they'd be up and alert too.
oya? does that mean murr's giving him the ok? well, then. he turns murr around by the shoulders to face him fully before carefully lowering him onto the tatami floor.
off comes the shirt that reveals his crest, then down goes his hair before looming over murr, his smile curving itself into something more scheming as he lowers his face onto the other male's. ]
Then I shall give it my worst.
[ ♡
guess they won't need the paddle after all. ]

[it'll be when their shifts are drawing to a close that she has the time to approach him. she's been absent for a few days - the official word she gave was that she caught a cold, but from the looks of her, she hasn't truly been down, or she's hiding it well.
no, instead she waits for them to be packing up, and therefore, to be free.]
Mr. Bennett, might I have a word?
[that's not going to stop until he tells her to stop it.]

[that's not going to stop until he tells her to stop it.]
[ for a second, he was wondering if shylock somehow acquired the paddle and was going to give him a formal introduction to it? what else would explain that look in his eye, the one that he sees as he's brought down to the floor, that piques his curiosities in such a way...
...
hair down? murr can feel his lips part as if he's lost control over them.
♡ ]
If you don't, then you'll regret it!~
[ his laugh is bright, breathy, and mirthful. he wraps his arms over shylock's shoulders, gently tapping foreheads together before he wiggles himself lower so that he can get his face to that collarbone... immediately kissing that spot before dragging his tongue against it. ]

[ he doesn't mind the formalities for now. they're co-workers at the moment -- though he'd really thought emily's finally found greener pastures these past few days, so he's pleasantly surprised that she came back to work anyway after a bout of a cold.
or so it would seem.
she caught him at the right time, actually, as he's finished locking up the liquor cabinet. ]
Why, of course. What is it?

[ please, the only regret he has in life is meeting murr all those centuries ago. but then they wouldn't be where they are right now, would it?
a soft groan escapes him when murr kisses him on that certain spot. yes yes, aren't we impatient? but it's all in good fun as shylock's fingers fumble at murr's shirt buttons in an effort to get him out of them. ]
We'll have to be quiet as possible, I'm afraid. The walls here aren't as thick as the ones back in the manor.

You recall that I asked if you could assist me with making medicines? I have one that I do need some assistance on.
[and here she pauses.]
I still haven't sorted out adequate compensation, but if you're willing to take a favor, I would abide by it.
[and whatever that might be, she'd go without a word of complaint. it's necessary, this one.]

[ if that's the only regret... it's the best kind.
of course, he's not going to just let his tongue do the work there. no. it's a nice spot to gently rest his teeth against, but not go any further. even without that mark it'd still be a sensitive place to chomp down on. a little hard, too. ]
Quiet? [ murr huffs against shylock's skin. ] I guess... if we have'ta.
[ he closes his eyes and makes another soft noise as his shirt is getting removed. he should probably be helping too, right???
murr slides his hands down shylock's body, fingers dipping into the curves of his back as he does so... tips gently teasing and wiggling all the way down. ]

[ and here he thought murr's going to bite down. maybe later? loathe as he is to admit it, this is why shylock is eternally enamored with him -- things that keep him on his toes spice up their relationship every time.
also look, he's behaving. he's even more adorable like this, shylock thinks with a shuddering sigh as the other man's fingers make their way down on him. let him just grind down on his hips to see how much murr wants this. ]
Would you rather like to make some noise? What if I...
[ scoot down a little so that his hands can fumble at murr's pants, outright teasing him right there. does he like that, hm? ]

[she has the decency to look a little abashed when he mentions her absence, but continues on.]
I've found the formula for...not an antidote exactly, but something that counteracts one of the more common Tamamo additives. The one that heightens passions.
[and this had to be made, for the sake of someone else.]
I won't be able to make a true antidote with the supplies I have, but what I have at least tempers the effects. Makes them bearable to wait out, until it's gone from your system. It's this I need to make - not a lot, just enough for three people. Four, if you're interested in your own amount.

In other words, an anti-aphrodisiac.
[ he hums in thought. ]
I'm not sure how to feel about making an antidote for our... specialty, you might say. But having too much of a good thing does exist. It won't be fun anymore if someone were to overuse our products for something more nefarious.
[ shylock may not have a decent moral compass, but he knows all too well how too much lust and love can only lead to ruin. ]
I change my mind. We shall talk about compensation right now if you wish for me to participate. You must understand.

Of course. What do you think is fair for you?
[at this point, Shylock could make some impossible demand, and she would have no choice but to agree. she needs this, though she won't let her desperation show - and its counter to what Tamamo is known for is precisely why she's keeping the amount small, limited. only for those that truly need it.]

[ oh, there's more than enough time for murr to leave a few marks on shylock. ones that would certainly a raise a few questions to those who may have the fortune to see them, but... nothing that can't be explained incredibly simply and straight-forwardly.
the tip of his tongue gently traces over the symbol etched in front of him. a fun exercise to show off how dexterous it can be.
murr's cheeks glow with the warmth of burgeoning arousal. he's not immune to urges like these; especially when his mind isn't allowed to wander around aimlessly. he offers shylock a very slight raise of his hips, letting out one warmer breath as he watches with rapt curiosity.
and maybe, just maybe... he moans. a fluttering one that's almost like a purr. ]

You'd consider that sufficient recompense?
[you want to waste a favor where she was letting you write the terms on a dance? it's easy to fulfill, but it hardly seems fair...]

[ a simple nod. ]
I didn't say how, when, and where, did I? Think of it as something to keep yourself on your tiptoes while I collaborate with you in this project.
[ he could make her dance sexily in front of an audience, for all she knows. though he probably won't go that far... maybe. ]
