Who: Scar, Lust, Envy, Heather, Henry What: Super Backdated 4th Wall Post Prom Room Party Where: The Academy Warnings: PG 13 - Over consumption of Alcohol, Drunken Discussion of Sexual Themes, Mild Body Horror
Henry's impassioned speech doesn't get much reaction out of Envy, on account of he was there and had to help Henry do everything for a full day. Especially because what HEATHER says next is much funnier because yeah, he absolutely does know about the Secret Crush. He can tease her about that in a minute though!
Because wow Scar not in present company?? Never mind that Envy also doesn't like to be openly affectionate in front of other people, right now Scar is the one having it demanded of him and, gasp, denying his ??? compliments.
He cups a hand around his mouth to shout, "Compliment her better! Don't be a wuss, you gotta say something really dramatic!"
That's about what Lust got out of that. She may be having trouble keeping up, a lot of people are saying many things, but she knows that everyone in the room is complimenting her and that's very nice.
Well, almost everyone.
She bites her own tongue, but thinks very hard at him that of all the things to be hesitant of saying in current company, with what had so nearly passed his lips...
Everyone else is doing it.
But she will answer his desperate question about what Henry meant. As funny as it would be to let him wallow in wondering.
"Henry is just referring...referencing one of those crazy weekends where we ended up spiritually transposed. Very awkward, you know. I didn't enjoy being a man."
He is eternally grateful that the matter of Henry has been clarified. Spiritually transposed is much more his language. Thank you, Isolust. Human Woman. Beloved.
In this moment, Scar's hazy, half-focused eyes snap razer-sharp. Right on Envy.
"I did not desecrate the grave of my only brother for this woman for the likes of you to accuse me of..." What word did Envy use? He's never heard it before... It's REALLY taking the wind out of his sails, here... "Wussery."
And you know what?
YOU KNOW WHAT???
Pretty as a country is, in fact, remarkably apt.
"I am promised to a woman who men would burn nations for, Envy, not that my expressing as much as ever turned your nose in anything but disgust."
Both arms shooting up in the air (and barely missing THE UTTERLY EVISCERATED Envy's face), Heather lets out a long whooping shout. Unlike when they were all captive on the living room floor and being subjected to Scar and Lust's uncomfortably intense emotional intimacy, THIS time Heather is both loopy and worked up enough that Scar succumbing to peer pressure dropping the mic is a moment worthy of her best drunk white girl cheer.
"NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!"
And then on her arms' way back down, she grabs Envy's face and kisses him right on the lips like the New Year's countdown just finished and there's fireworks. IT JUST FELT RIGHT. HOORAY FOR SCAR.
Tipsy as he is, Envy fully did not expect his teasing to blow back on him with that level of uh. Intensity.
He actually shrinks back slightly against Heather under the full power of Scar's Earnest Beam Attack, eyes wide with surprise. Just a fun treat for the poor beleaguered, accused Ishbalan.
Also hm! Desecrated his brother's grave! That's a new bit of information about the gelatin mystery! (how in the fuck would he have known about that before right this moment, Scar??)
Of course, then Heather is whooping in his ear and he is being very suddenly kissed full on the mouth. Which gives him an opportunity to recover from the beam attack shock and also is very very nice so he's going to be kissing her back, one moment everyone!
It definitely prevents the shock from evolving in a more fraught direction, because when he pulls back he's got kind of a loopy grin on his face again. It's hard to get angry about being soundly defeated when you're being smooched, and Heather's already taken the lead on the followup tone. He DID ask for dramatic, and it WAS a compliment for his favorite baby sister who deserves all the dramatics in the world. So instead of sulking, he throws his head back and crows, then raises his hands above his head and claps.
"YEAH! Dramatic compliments for her like THAT! Hah, you GOT me!"
"Well," Lust manages after a few moments. "You certainly did as you were asked."
Who could argue with that almost frightening display of honest emotion. Perhaps a bit too honest, but at the moment, she's not going to comment. Scar's filter really does turn off when he has strong liquor in him.
It's almost embarrassing, but she's drunk enough that it doesn't strike her so in the moment. In this moment, Scar can say deeply intimate things about their relationship in front of the rest of the family and she won't sputter and fret and want to sink into the floorboards.
And they'd all gotten what they'd asked for. They'd likely never ask for it again.
Scar utters a nonverbal grumble. Something like a hmph. Don't test him. Certainly not in this, of all things. He can be accused of many things, but cowardice? When it comes to Lust? He won't have it. Not when every person in this room has, at some point, objected to his even being close to her.
That, and Henry's remark on his brother, puts him over an edge he so very rarely tips over. At least, not overtly.
As soon as Lust speaks, he lifts her up by her torso like one might kidnap a cat, and plunks her down in his lap.
"I did. He was a bastard. I loved him very much."
He has no further notes on Envy's demand of him. The point has been made.
