[ Reynir's stomach does a little flip when he reads the words 'for teasing'. Onni is teasing him? Learning something new, doing something so lighthearted? So... well, frivolous?
It's a good thing Onni can't see him beaming on the other end of the conversation, or he might get self-conscious. ]
oh, so those (:) are little eyes? where's the nose? }:^P that looks more like a face to me.
[It is a good thing he can't see it, because he would definitely be self-conscious, even though his own expression of amusement at the conversation is extremely muted.]
Oh, that does look like a face too. Is the thing at the top eyebrows or a hat?
A fish. I think I can see it...
Oh, yes. There it is.
I don't know who came up with the idea but someone on the network used one at me earlier today, and I asked what it meant.
[ Reynir can't remember any time when Onni has sounded this carefree. It means that, even though the conversation is light and unimportant, his heart is thumping away quickly. And that must be the reason why his insides are all fluttery, when Onni sends one of those emothingys that is supposed to look like him. ]
i meant it to be hair but it works as really ugly eyebrows i guess.
that's a good shrug. i should remember that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
is that supposed to be my hair?
this one is you right when you first wake up: (=_=)
[He has his moments. Every now and again he finds something that's distracting in a light enough way to let him forget the heavy things that linger inside him.]
┐(￣ヘ￣)┌ This is another good one. I think it looks like me when I'm around that friend of Lalli's for too long.
It could be your hair, or maybe horns once they're fully grown out. They curl like that, don't they?
Lalli seems to like him well enough and it isn't as if we argued or anything, but he's very loud and impatient. And he drooled on my jacket in the carriage.
Hm, I suppose it's your hair then. It is very fluffy hair.
I'll give you that point, I just thought the others looked like I was angry about having to be awake. I usually am in the morning. But maybe I'm only angry inside.
The eyes on that one confuse me, but this is you when I build the sauna: ( ꒪‿꒪)ノ
At least it wasn't my jacket that he drooled on. I think it was his uncle's, I was just borrowing it. Still, what a messy kid. He is good with Lalli though.
I know you do. I see them all lined up on the edge of the bath tub all the time. There's no point sharing them, though. I don't know how to use them and they probably wouldn't do any good on hair like mine. It doesn't matter what my hair looks like anyway.
It does take me a while to stop being confused, but I'm also angry the whole time. It's complicated.
Those eyes make sense now, though. And it's you waving, and looking at what I'm doing, or me. I can't tell usually.
he is really messy, yeah. and loud. but there are worse faults to have, if you ask me.
i can teach you how to use them. i want to. and they work on any hair, even yours. it's not about how your hair looks, it's about making it healthy, and about it feeling nice.
i know you're biased against it, but how do you know if you'll like it if you won't try?
that sure does sound complicated. i've been trying not to talk to you when you first get up so much anymore. i don't know if you've noticed.
i like watching you work and keeping you company. i... can stop if you want.
I hadn't thought about whether my hair was healthy. It never really seemed like a priority, it's just hair. It doesn't really do anything to help me. But I guess if it means a lot to you, I'll try. I did promise I'd try out some frivolous things.
Which reminds me, I might learn to bake.
I did notice you haven't been talking to me so much in the morning, it's helped. And no, you don't have to stop. I don't mind it.
oh, i like pretty much anything! i can try to write out some of my mom's recipes for you if you like? i know there were a few things it seemed like you enjoyed when you were staying at the house.
but i like trying new stuff, too!
no one is good at anything without a little practice, onni. you know that! you're not gonna be bad at baking.

It does, doesn't it? You could add arms too.

did you two not get along? i had no idea!
he... takes some getting used to.
not exactly like that, no. i expect they're more like Ϭ this, from the side, if they're like the sheep we had back home.
you definitely aren't holding your arms like that for at least an hour
you can't fool me
more like

i'm glad he and lalli have one another, though.
emil looks after him, even if lalli would never admit that.
you know, i've got lots of nice things that i put in my hair to make it this fluffy. i can share some with you if you want? i have more than enough.
oh is it anger?
i just figured you took a little while to stop being confused
the eyes are closed! see? ◡ ‿ ◡ and then •‿•, like a blink
is that me handing you something or just cheering you on?

[ Reynir can't help the gentle joke at his own expense. ]
thank you. if you hate it, it's not like i'm going to force you to use the stuff. but i don't think you will hate it.
ah! what are you going to bake? can i try some?
(❛ ‿ ❛) this one is me waiting to try something you have baked!

[There it is, that emote again. He's glad to have a way to denote that in text. These emoji things are very useful.]
Okay. Show me how next time I'm going to bathe.
I don't know what I'm baking yet, but someone on the network agreed to teach me a little. I'm going to get ingredients and bring them there.
What would you have me bake?
ヽ(ー_ー )ノ And me realizing I am bad at baking, probably.
no subject
i will show you. just give me a shout whenever.
oh, i like pretty much anything! i can try to write out some of my mom's recipes for you if you like? i know there were a few things it seemed like you enjoyed when you were staying at the house.
but i like trying new stuff, too!
