your average 36 year old man usually does not have grey hairs. like that's just not a thing that usually happens. however.
Gnosis is stressed. Gnosis just had a fucking deluge of like 2-3ish years of memories that caused a giant migraine. Gnosis has been drinking too much. Gnosis has been dealing with the Triguns' bullshit.
The man is starting to be a little silvery, he's noticed. And like, to be fair, Enciodes Silverash probably doesn't care, but Gnosis comes into the cabana anyway holding up a single silver strand of hair alongside one of his headfeathers, where some of the barbs near his head have also gone silver.]
Am I getting old?
[Gnosis you've been old. You've been old since you were 11.]
[ Enciodes doesn't even look up from the couch, where he's sprawled out and reading a book. His tail immediately thumps to life when Gnosis enters all the same, implying he's happy to hear his husband.
Why would you ask me that if you've already decided you're not old, then?
[ Insert eye roll here. He does put his book down, but just so he can sit up and reach out to grab Gnosis' face instead, pulling him closer. You know. To inspect his head feathers!
And also give him a kiss on his forehead. ]
You're beautiful, my darling. I don't see any issues here.
[The way Gnosis just sort of melts and sits down like... my dude you are not beating the gay allegations like this.]
I should not be going grey at thirty-six. [He says, and then scoots up onto the pull-out couch further, make room.] I suppose it means little to you, considering you're already grey.
[Runs a hand through Enciodes' hair... did you brush your hair today it looks like you did not.]
[ He will shuffle, if only because it gives him reason to lean against Gnosis as he sits down. The tail immediately goes around Gnosis, as per the usual. And no, of course he didn't brush. He didn't intend to leave the cabana today! It's too hot... ]
"Grey"... That's the color you're going to call all this? [ And, besides, Gnosis has seen Uncle Chester. He should be well aware that the Silverashes don't really "grey". It's when the wrinkles come that Enciodes will start whining. ] I can't say I'm surprised you're seeing a bit of grey, considering how much you've been stressing out lately. That's your problem, you know.
[Uncle Chester himself barely has wrinkles, Enciodes is going to be young and hot forever. At least he will be to Gnosis.]
I don't have an issue with stress. [You do.] It would be easier if people would stop coming into the lab to bother me with their issues. I'd like to do research, not babysit.
[Gnosis you willingly sign up for the babysitting are you good my dude—
Anyway, he sighs extremely tiredly.]
I'd like to take a long nap and not wake up wondering who pissed off who and who wandered off into the lighthouse and got maimed for once.
[ Felines DO have nine lives, maybe he'll be here a while- ]
I fear that if people do not continue to "bother" you, you will simply become a fixture to your lab equipment and forget to be a person, Gnosis. [ He nuzzles himself against Gnosis' cheek. ] Besides, it's healthy for you to be making friends, you know.
I wouldn't say I'm making friends. [you literally drop everything for the triguns gnosis] I would however say... I suppose it does keep me busy. There's something to do, at least. I've gradually run out of things to research.
[Hard to make strides on technological research when uhhh there's barely any tech here.]
I won't claim your worry is unwarranted. I did remember to eat today, at least. [The bare fucking minimum!]
Gnosis, you are somehow both the smartest man I've ever met, yet also one of the most stupid. Firstly, I would say the bonds you have made here all qualify as friendship. And secondly, remembering you need caloric intake to survive is not something that makes for a proud claim.
[ Smacking Gnosis with his tail. He's more worried now, thanks. ]
Please preach to me more, sir spends-sixteen-hours-a-day-behind-a-desk. [Great comeback Gnosis did you work hard on that one] You hardly remembered to sleep back home. I'm quite amazed you haven't found a way to avoid it here.
I may have had many sleepless nights, but at least I've remembered to stand and stretch every once in a while, and I didn't take pride in the fact I met my basic necessities, like having three meals a day.
[ Maybe it's a little unfair, considering he had both Tenzin and Unci to take care of, and thus needed to remember to 1) eat, and 2) let them both outside to stretch Tenzin's wings and let Unci play in the snow. Still, even if he didn't have the reminders, at this point he's pretty sure he would've done all this, anyway. One day he'll train Unci to meow loudly at Gnosis until he goes to bed. Maybe he should start convincing her to sleep on him so she isn't comfortable unless he's in the bed, too? Hrmm... ]
How I chose to live back home wasn't the healthiest, and... perhaps even a form of self-punishment, all things considered. I haven't felt the need to seek such retributions here.
