when he sees caleb lurking at the edge of his peripherals, he makes it a point to angle his head so his eyes are still slightly out of view. ] What, you don't like surprises? [ his gaze ends up finally finding caleb's now, and when they meet, there's a certain twinkle behind them. ]
I guess we can first grab a drink, hit the arcade to see if they have any new plushies, check out the newest movie, and then maybe you help me restock on some art supplies? [ why does it seem like it all leads up to caleb just following his whims, and helping him run the errands?
[ Not completely true, but that can be said for everyone. People only like good surprises. Harmless ones.
His eyes playfully narrow, trying to glean into these choices like trying to read his opponent's kitty cards. Sometimes being more presumptuous is the play. ]
Do you get my sister to do all of that with you? Hmmm?
at caleb's statement of loving surprises, he can barely suppress a chuckle. though, it's one that he supplements with a more serious expression. he tilts his head from side to side for a moment, as his finger comes up to tap on his own chin. once, twice, then he shrugs his shoulders exaggeratedly. ]
[ You're so funny, Rafayel. So funny that he does scan his body language and expression down to how many creases come from the laughter. Are the angles on his face created when he speaks here friendly? Are they nervous?
Are you a master at lying, Rafayel? He'd wonder this, too. All of this just looks like nothing, though. Caleb's standing there and lets out a laugh. ]
Now you do. Pretty sure pipsqueak's the reason we all gathered at that restaurant that day.
[ They're cool, nothing to stress about even though Caleb is silently giving Rafayel trials. ]
[ while he could be a great actor when necessary, as of right now... his smile completely gives him away. for all the seriousness in his response, there's something mirthful in his eyes. but that doesn't completely stop his act.
he's about to be like: meeting? what's that?
playing dumb and dumber, but it's the second response that causes him to shut right up. his posture becomes marginally more rigid, and his demeanor clearly makes a subtle shift. he looks at caleb from the corner of his eyes now, trying not to make his interest too obvious. ]
