[ in spite of his words, he does take one step closer. he places his hand on sylus' shoulder and moves it inwards, the tips of his fingers lightly digging into his back. thankfully, sylus' shoulders are wide and it takes him a second to make his way to the junction between his shoulder blade and neck.
rafayel then focuses his eyes back on him, as if checking to see for any hint of discomfort. almost like this were a test as opposed to what this actual card means, i need to check the post ]
[ About trying to extort someone and then throwing a fit about the method of payment. How annoying.
Rafayel can sway closer if he wants, and settle his hand on his shoulder. There isn't any discomfort, just an eyebrow raised in question as he pointedly looks down to lord the inch of height he has over him. He is also vaguely preparing himself for the inevitability that Rafayel might throw up on him.
Another way that they might end up testing the death mechanic. ]
there's a bit of playfulness behind the way his fingers come to pinch a bit of his skin through his... sensual outfit. unfortunately, because sylus shows no signs of actually being unsettled, rafayel knows he has to escalate. ]
You just don't get it. Must be like your age or something.
[ I FORGOT HE WAS WEARING THE STUPID IDOL FIT AAAAA
Rafayel, you are not going to win chicken against him. Though he does look briefly irritated at being pinched. Contemplates knocking Rafayel on his ass...
Shifts his posture so that one of his feet is settled between Rafayel's. It is a warning that he will knock you down if you irritate him too much. ]
[ thank you for putting this decision in my hands even if you denied The People of sylus in his catch-22 outfit with the mullet
okay, but rafayel doesn’t know this. he thinks this game is still within his reach and victory isn’t too far off. the irritated quirk of sylus’ brow elicits an easygoing, almost smug curl of his lips. as if he didn’t already want to knock him on his ass…
when he repositions his feet, rafayel doesn’t recoil. he has no intentions of backing down and instead he angles his neck slightly as he almost presses his lips to sylus’. ] Funny, I don’t think you know what greedy actually looks like.
[ but, he’s going to kiss him on the side of his lips; almost all cheek. barely any contact, actually. ]
[ Unfortunately, Sylus finds brats and clowns endearing so that stupid smile is more amusing than irritating... This is how he ended up taking in two insane twins that would think it would be cool if he died.
He is surprised when Rafayel's mouth brushes against his cheek, mostly because he expects him to be all bark and no bite. For him to show some follow through after all his posturing is interesting.
Grabs him by the chin so that he can meet his gaze. ]
This is what I meant by nonsensical. [ He is the epitome of greed.
Also, holds him close enough that their nose brush a little. ]
But I suppose you're drunk enough to think you're a genius.
[ the buzz helps to mitigate any embarrassment he should feel at this, and so he’s already inwardly celebrating his win (no). then he feels the tug of his chin, and his expression falters. while he doesn’t pull away, he does look slightly more indignant. ]
I’m not drunk. You must be smelling your own breath. [ this seems belated considering all he’s done already, but he says it anyway. as if in a last ditch effort to preserve any dignity he still has, he’s still holding the card in his other hand and he slips it into sylus’ back pocket. (the way i tried to google if his costume has pockets) take back your 6, fool ]

i was like sylus can't just be giving out 6's for all time?????
but, rafayel just stares at him, before: ] You know, if you're broke, just say so.
[ but, in the spirit of the game, he is taking the card and looking at it with an unfocused gaze. maybe he shouldn't have been drinking so much. ]
