[ He is the chillest? If Robin can't handle him when he's daddy, maybe he doesn't deserve him when he's baby. This is immediately the worst meta I have ever written. ]
Hmm... I guess it must've been a hellhole, then. Well, that's okay. You don't have to tell me everything. What matters is the present, right? Hehe... But now I gotta wonder how our first meeting went. If we can talk like this, I'm sure it wasn't so bad!
thanks for reminding him of their first meeting, though. bullying him with BB's face and mannerisms, pretending they were lovers, a hand grabbing his dick, stealing a truck, barhopping until the sun came up or until they were kicked out.]
Well, it wasn't all that different from some of my meetings with other Servants.
[yeah. optimistic. especially for thinking he's a good guy. Yan Qing has already called him a stand-up one. what's he up to?
ah. fishing for compliments.]
Yes, yes. You're the most good of guys. If someone is looking for a good guy, I'll direct them towards you. [as long as he's not calling himself daddy. or any of that other stuff that happened.
but he was a pretty good drinking mate from what he remembers.]
Hold on to that lighter. The vines keep to the dark alleys and such so I'm gonna wager that they don't like the light or any kind of heat. It'll help you if you get caught in a pinch.
[ Aww, Robin's looking out for him? That works on Yan Qing more than the half-hearted compliments, really. He works up a smile as he pockets the lighter. ]
Thanks for the tip. So we just follow these vines, eh? They look harmless enough. You make it sound like they move or something.
[it's more genuine, that's for sure. Robin looks out for everyone whether it's a conscious thing or not.]
You know the saying of looks can be deceiving, right? They have to move if they're growing as fast as they are. Well, it's more than that. I could've sworn I saw one of those vines slithering along the wall...
Hey, hey! How am I s'posed to— [ This Faceless King...
Yan Qing groans, transforms back into a Moon Knight, and starts walking faster. No use wasting his breath on empty air. The rustling sound seems to creep not to fast, but not too slow—just enough to keep following them at their pace. ]
[he will do no such thing just in case the vines are sentient or some weird shit like that.
it's actually Robin that stops long enough to let Yan Qing lead the way, sneaking around behind the fake!Moon Knight. listening at their six to make sure vines don't creep too close while Daddy the long-haired laugh factory keeps his eyes on the front.
every now and then he drops a trap to cover their traps, but he's already run out a while ago.
it's only when they're too deep into it, vines thickening and harder to avoid, does a hand grip the back of the knight's collar and pull him to a stop.
Robin appears in his hood, half-cloaked in shadows.
he was there the whole time.]
Hold on. Listen.
[thump thump.
thump thump.]
What the hell is that?
[and Robin stopping is the worst mistake he could have made. the vines have caught up and twist tightly around one of his ankles. before he has a chance to yell out a curse, or look down, it pulls hard to drop him on his face and starts DRAGGING him deeper in.]
Bang! Bang! Yan Qing isn't holding onto his green companion anymore, but he doesn't need to. No longer attached to their owner, the vines have stopped moving. ]
C'mon! This town's still big enough for the two of us, wahahaha!
[ Rowdy Yan Qing in quiet Billy's body is kind of weird. ]
[you know Robin's all out of sorts when he starts full-blown cursing like that. he should have smacked his head harder. rattled that brain into a different personality or--
yet Yan Qing still reached to save him and grabbed his arms, as himself, for whatever reason.
[for now, he's breathing hard and kicking away the dead vines before staggering back onto his feet. Billy is much shorter than Robin so he has to look down at the fluffy blonde hair and boyish looks. nothing like the Assassin's sharp features he expects -- narrowed green eyes and sleek hair.
the similarities lay in that they're both chucklebutts.]
... Thanks for the save. Man, I don't want to think about what would've happened if you weren't here.
[ Yan Qing turns back into his original self. He's already yee'd his last haw, so he won't ask Robin for anything, but this tag is cursed in its own way now.
At Robin's words, he beams as he rocks on his heels. It's not his usual smile of mischief and smug victory, but one from a place more sincere. ]
Don't mention it. Any Servant of Ritsuka's is a friend of mine whether they like it or not!
[ This is not true for every Servant, but it is for the man in the hood — a friend he'll save with his own power, if Robin will acknowledge that much about him. ]
Robin, on the other hand, isn't so sure if he likes it or not. so he fits right in that criteria.
friend. no Servant has outright called him such a thing. maybe because they know better. he's a bit thrown by the sudden declaration of calling him that so instead of telling him he's not Ritsuka's Servant he says,]
... You sure have a lot of people you call friend, then.
[thinking back on all the Servants that were in Chaldea before he ended up in Duplicity. and all the Servants, in the future, that he had learned about. Yan Qing must have no shortage.]
But I could use a drink once we're finished with all this. What about you? I'll buy. I've got some coupons to use.

Shit. Yeah, I heard it. C'mon, I'm not sticking around to find out what it is. I'm usually on the ambushing side, not the ambushed.

SO UH GOOD LUCK FOLLOWING???]
