Quatre (Accidental video)

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Albedo's phone is lying discarded on a side table in Albedo's apartment room, recording him sitting with a length of cloth bandage within arm's reach, a knife in his left hand and his right hand unusually bare. He curls his fingers briefly, pressing the tips of his long, pointed nails into the red 667 tattoo on the middle of his palm before opening his hand again and slashing the knife across the number. Instead of reacting in pain, he closes his eyes and lets out a pleased moan.*

Ahhh...that ought to do it. How frail this body is, though, that even this much is the limit of what I can safely inflict.

*The video ends as he reaches for the bandages and starts wrapping his hand, although he clearly has no practice in such things.*

Well it's not as if I had the opportunity to go anywhere, guns blazing like Jr. I had an image to keep up after all. [He is getting suspicious. What are you after Albedo?]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Ahh, but here, the ordinary masses are unaware of everything that goes on when things truly get interesting.

*Just proof that you haven't gone soft, Nigredo.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Yes the shadows. Fascinating creatures I have to admit. Just don't get shadow gunk in your cut, I don't know what that stuff'll do.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I had figured that part out on my own, thank you. Save your mothering for Rubedo.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Not like he listens to me half the time, you're a bit of a captive audience right now. [To emphasize his point he holds up Albedo's hand, which he still has a grip around the wrist of.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Trying to make me regret being so patient as to not reclaim my arm sooner?

*He's going to give a yank at that grip. Not as hard as he could-he doesn't really want Nigredo to let go-but enough to jostle his brother's hand.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

To be frank, I'm surprised you held still that long. [Oh he's going to keep a hold, mainly to annoy Albedo. He even gives it a yank back his way.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I was simply trying to spare your feelings after you were actually useful for once.

*Oh, it's on. He's giving a harder yank toward himself.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Yanking back.] Oh no need to worry about my feelings, I'm not that sensitive.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose there's on reason to put up with this anymore.

*Yanking and adding a bit of a twist, just to give Nigredo trouble holding on.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[He tightens his grip] For 'putting up with it' you certainly aren't trying too hard to get away.

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

I'm just trying to avoid letting you hurt yourself trying to keep your grip. You are out of practice, after all.

*Twisting again and trying to grab Nigredo's fingers, though he is subtly being careful not to let his nails dig into his brother's skin.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Hurt myself? You really have to stop underestimating me. [He moves his grip down Albedo's arm to get out of reach of those finger nails]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose I should stop going easy on you.

*He grabs Nigredo's wrist with his free hand and squeezes, again being careful of the nails but trying to catch the right spot to force his brother's grip to loosen.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[That...maybe some mild cursing coming from him right now as he uses his free hand to try and dislodge Albedo's grip on his wrist.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

What's the matter, Nigredo~? Having a bit of trouble keeping your grip?

*He's not going to risk letting Nigredo grab his other wrist, so he lets go and jerks his hand around to try to grab his brother's free arm instead.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Not at all. [Oh no you don't Albedo, you aren't getting him that easily! He may not be as strong as you but he's a little bit more adept at avoiding getting grabbed.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

You seemed to be getting pretty desperate to me.

*Now that that's dealt with, he'll be trying to pry Nigredo's fingers off his wrist.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[That's going to be kind of hard considering he's going to try and use his other hand to shoo away what's prying at him.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*He's going to reply by swatting at the offending hand.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Gosh, why are they such children. Of course Gaignun is going to swat back as best he can.]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*Because they had no childhoods. Okay, going to reach over and shove now, while pulling back with his own arm.*

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Ok Albedo, now it's on. He tenses against the shove and yanks back on Albedo's arm to get him back in range for a return push]

[fractured-white.livejournal.com]

*He can't avoid that push, but instead he'll be hooking his foot around the leg of Nigredo's chair and giving it a sharp jerk as he's pushed back.*

Seriously, they are the most mature

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Gaignun makes a startled noise at the chair jerk before planting his feet flat on the floor for stability and yanking back sharply. He's hoping to pull Albedo off balance.]
