I'd think the same. But there's always some crazies out there doing exactly that, yeah?
[ Not that where he's from the whole worshipping gods has been too much of an issue in either direction. Though, that too varies from world to world, depending on where somebody travels.
There is a pause, even if not in what his hands are currently occupied with. ]
...You're thinking about that time where I tried to change into a puppy for you, aren't you?
[ Temenos asks him to perform a trick, and Axel will do his best to make it happen...he can't deny the simp allegations even if he wanted. ]
[ oh, a cheek kiss... he shuts his eye when he gets smooched, but doesn't push it away. there's nobody around and it's awfully cute. a good mood, huh... ]
I suppose that I am. [ as usual, he's very reserved, but that tail gives him away? monster week is a traitor. temenos will lean just a little further into his shoulder, too, subtle acceptance of the affection. ] It was charming. Though, considering I was trying to prove that you couldn't turn pink if you used Kogitsunemaru's power, you gave me a bit of a runaround.
[ a fright, really. thankfully, the evidence proved what temenos already knew - that it wasn't a match - but it didn't make it any less worrying. people jump at the chance to find each other guilty, and temenos is too logical to let it happen, but... well. it's worrying, sometimes. ]
[ Axel grins at the reaction, though ensures for now he keeps the rest of his concentration on what he's trying to make here.
Though his expression turns a bit more thoughtful as he considers this. ]
...Oh, that's what you were tryin' to prove? I thought if I shifted into Nimona's it'd show that I couldn't do whatever it was that happened.
Or something.
[ He may not be exactly the smartest. That being said, he isn't entirely surprised people suspected him of stuff, given how indeed people are quick to point the finger. His name often comes up at least once because of his copying abilities too. ]
[ he agrees, with a little bit of a laugh. that's okay - their wires got a little crossed. ]
I see why you did so - it worked for us either way, since you couldn't exactly match the bite - but at the time, I thought you'd practically condemned yourself. Thankfully, the physical evidence was there. I knew you hadn't done it, but I didn't want there to be any room for anyone to think otherwise. [ so, there is that. temenos wouldn't have let them throw axel under the bus, all things considered, and he is very good at his job of proving evidence, but also. also!!!!
he pauses briefly in his stitches, though, setting the needles down to reach up...
...and give axel a little scritch behind one of those cute puppy ears. might as well enjoy this effect. ] It is a shame. I'm sure you would have been awfully cute.
Heh, I guess I really did make your blood pressure shoot through the roof. But, thankfully, I've got someone as thoughtful and capable as you looking out for me, eh?
[ The red head gives Temenos a big smile at that. Really, it makes a difference to have somebody having his back.
As the other does a little scritch, the red head will lean into the touch, looking content at that. ]
What about now? I got these ears of mine you seem pre-tty found of.
[ that's definitely teasing, and he returns the big smile with a smaller one of his own, though it's no less warm. for all of the stress, it was worth it, and...
...also this behavior is really cute so he snickers a little and lifts his other hand to scritch both when he starts leaning over, delighted and amused. ]
They do suit you. And you've got those puppy-dog eyes down to near perfection, I'd say.

no subject

no subject
[ He notices that. Adorable...
He leans over and plants a kiss on his cheek. He already kissed him on the lips, but nyeh. ]
...But, it's also kinda cute to see you so excited, and in a good mood.
