Ainsley's Lion

"I mean... me an authority figure? Not a good track record between me and authority figures."

by **Ainsley Green** » Fri May 01, 2020 9:53 pm

"Sometimes those people make the best authority figures."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri May 01, 2020 10:07 pm

"I still dunno. I'm not even that good at art," he answered, more humble about it now than when art came up before.

"It just takes practice, you know that. I didn't just start drawing as i do overnight, and if i stopped my skills would deteriorate. "

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri May 01, 2020 10:36 pm

"And I hadn't done any in a year," he said in a tone of realization, "Or even thought about it."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat May 02, 2020 3:59 am

"Sounds to me like you just need to get back into the saddle, Mate."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat May 02, 2020 2:48 pm

"Speakin' of... I'm almost done with that weldin' mask. Now I just need some jumbo gloves and I'm golden."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat May 02, 2020 8:46 pm

"I bet the weird uniform girl could make some for you. You talked to her yet?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat May 02, 2020 9:10 pm

"No. Guess I should though. My clothin' options are pretty damn limited. Nothin' off the rack for this cat."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat May 02, 2020 10:01 pm

"I see her head out to the point a lot. Or in the gardens talking to another catboy. Smaller than you but I bet she has experience making him things as they seem pretty friendly. Maybe she could make you all kinds of things actually."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat May 02, 2020 10:38 pm

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just indirectly call me a catboy. And yeah, she could. Even a hero costume."

After a second he said like a certain tiny, animated fashion designer, "No capes!"

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat May 02, 2020 11:18 pm

"Wait wait wait, back up mate.

Are you not a catboy? Give examples."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat May 02, 2020 11:29 pm

"Do I look like a pretty anime boy with cat ears?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Sun May 03, 2020 12:48 am

"Counterpoint: You are a boy and cat."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun May 03, 2020 12:59 am

"Counter-counterpoint: And a bunch of other things."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sun May 03, 2020 12:29 pm

"You are literally just arguing to argue so I don't win at this point." Ainsley looked at him over his sketchpad with an expression of mild exasperation mixed with amusement.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun May 03, 2020 6:26 pm

"Am not," he said with un-ironic seriousness.

by **Ainsley Green** » Sun May 03, 2020 6:40 pm

"I had siblings mate. I know the only way to win this game is to not play." He warned, shrinking a bit into his sketchpad.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun May 03, 2020 8:04 pm

"Sorry. Not knowing when to quit is pretty much my thing."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sun May 03, 2020 8:12 pm

AInsley stayed silent. Incredibly silent.

After a few moments, Leo started to get the impression that this is what it was like for everyone else around Ainsley.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun May 03, 2020 9:43 pm

The silence was so total that Leo's fear of rejection began to pull at its rusty chains.

"So you get a little annoyed and that's it? The silent treatment?" he asked accusingly, an edge of paranoia on his voice.

by **Ainsley Green** » Mon May 04, 2020 1:59 am

Ainsley looked confused, and now he was silent just because he didn't know what else to say.

After several long moments of confused staring, he offered- "Sorry mate?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Mon May 04, 2020 2:59 pm

Ashamed of his moment of paranoia, Leo didn't repeat himself.

"Nothing."

"You okay? Looked like you zoned out there."

by **Ainsley Green** » Mon May 04, 2020 3:08 pm

"Well at first I was funning you, but then that happened so I was quiet because I didn't know how to respond." Ainsley replied, clearly not going to let Leo weasel out of this so easily.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Mon May 04, 2020 3:29 pm

Leo seemed to get a little less huge.

"God... I probably sound like a clingy girlfriend..." he said, deeply embarrassed.

by **Ainsley Green** » Tue May 05, 2020 12:47 am

"Yea, a little mate. He replied in earnest.

"Just a reminder, again: I can't actually speak. Most people experience silence from me.

If I'm quiet, it isn't because I'm mad. I'm disabled Leo."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Tue May 05, 2020 2:19 pm

"Fuuuck, now I'm an asshole too," he groaned, falling onto his back as if dying of embarrassment.

by **Ainsley Green** » Tue May 05, 2020 10:55 pm

Ainsley shimmied from his spot closer to Leo, not saying anything.

Until he got close enough to reach out and boop his nose.

"Boooooooooooooop."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Tue May 05, 2020 11:39 pm

Leo turned his perplexed cat face on Ainsley.

"Did you really just 'boop' me?" he asked with a trace of a smile that he was clearly fighting.

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed May 06, 2020 12:34 am

Ainsley did it again without the sound effect this time, leaving his hand on the other boy's nose.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed May 06, 2020 12:58 am

He pushed the hand away.

"Dude. Quit it," he chuckled.

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed May 06, 2020 1:15 am

Ainsley made a reach like he was doing to do it again, but pulled back his hand quickly without making contact, just to see how Leo would react.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed May 06, 2020 1:43 am

Leo had bared his teeth in warning, but his eyes made it clear that he wasn't serious.

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed May 06, 2020 1:56 am

Ainsley leant out and did it anyways, laying his hand gently on Leo's snoot, as if to dare him.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed May 06, 2020 7:29 pm

Leo's bestial side should have been getting agitated, but it seemed Ainsley had at some point tamed it. It would be happy to be this one's pet.

Confused by this, Leo rolled on his other side. "Just stop, okay?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed May 06, 2020 7:48 pm

Ainsley pulled his hand away and shrugged.

"Sure thing. Sorry mate." He didn't seem put out
by being told to stop, picking up his sketch pad again to go back to work.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed May 06, 2020 8:22 pm

He sat back up.

"I'm just... not sure my animal side won't bite," he lied.

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu May 07, 2020 12:29 am

"Oh, I'm not scared of that." He replied pretty confidently.

"But it's your body and therefore your call as to whether or not you are touched."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu May 07, 2020 12:57 am

"Not even a little bit intimidated?" he asked, torn between relief and injured macho pride.

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu May 07, 2020 1:04 am

"You need to figure out whether you want people to be scared of you or not mate. This back and forth is giving me whiplash."
