[ a blink for a moment before he grins and flops down beside them, his hands folded against his chest. ]
A dream... I suppose there's a reason it's called the dream suite, isn't there?
[ because as he gazes upwards, the walls will shift a bit into something more familiar? he doesn't know the ballroom location very well, but. he does remember what it looked like. between watching the festivities alongside kazunari the night before. so the setting will shift into familiar shapes and colors if this is indeed a dream he's having, familiar sounds of people, steps shuffling, gentle music. ]
That's a little more like it...
[ and you know, if clothes can be dreamt up, he's going to.... do that..... ]
[ aquila hums, indulgently, allowing kaeya to meld the shape around them all that he wants to. the dream space responds to his every whim, shifting to change into the ballroom of the castle in the realm.
clothes can also be melded, so, yeah. let's see the fit! ]
[ can you believe this was the fit i would have used if we'd had a fancy ball? in any case kaeya does sit up a bit as he thinks for a moment longer. he draws his hair forward and considers before he is delightfully dressed, with a pair of earrings and some cute shoes. before he leans back on his hands and laughs. ]
they seem very surprised by this gesture, actually. it's not really a flinch, but they do seize up, surprised? aquila may be someone who has not gotten that many hugs in their life.
...
but after a moment, they hug him back, making a quiet noise as they curl their fingers in the back of his clothes. ]
What's this, now...? [ softly, not chiding necessarily, but the tiniest warm tease. ]
they give him a little squeeze as he goes, then, and huff a bit of a laugh. ]
The best way you could show gratitude was taking care of that rat. [ but they tilt their head, and kaeya might feel them smiling. ]
But thank you, nonetheless.
[ there's a pause, and they glance down at themselves, and then; there's a little fuzzy wobble in the dream space, and they're wearing that raven feather bowtie and the gold necklace from before. there. ]
Really? Wish there was still something else we could do for Virgo. We're really wracking our brains down there trying to figure it out.
[ kaeya watches this cute little chain and bow tie appear and grins, moving forward to sweep them out towards the floor. there's music filtering in warmly, light perfect. for a moment, he feels like maybe he can breathe again just for a hot second or two. ]
Happy to, honestly. Just another story I can tell my good friend when I return.
Give them some time. They'll come around. [ for virgo, anyway. they seem fairly sure of this.
and, yes! they have to be in dress code, don't they? gotta be fancy!
they step gracefully out with kaeya - they let him lead, but, maybe surprisingly (or not), aquila is pretty good at this. something of a natural, as they turn through the dream dance floor. ]
You've definitely got a story. Which good friend? Or is the answer all of them.

[ they hum and drop the hand, folding their arms behind their head and flopping backwards. ]
This is your dream, isn't it?

I like this dream already.
[ he turns to aquila, holding out his hand. ]
... Wanna dance? [ as the music swells already ]
no subject
aquila looks up from where he's sitting, and huffs a laugh, ducking his head. it's been a long day, but you know what?]
I'd love to.
[ and they'll put their gloved hand in his and let kaeya pull him up. ]

instead of sweeping them out onto the floor...
is hug them. sorry. even if they flinch, just.
he hugs. ]

[ he pushes his face briefly into their shoulder a moment, head down to do so before he parts. ]
Besides. We also took care of our ghost problem. So I'd say it's relief as well. I could use a good party.
