[...target sighted]
[...trajectory calculated]
[...launching sneak!hug attack, sudden baby brother hug is a GO]

*He hisses angrily at the sudden impact, actually forced to take a step or two to avoid falling over, and starts to reach under his cape where he keeps his knife as he turns his head to glare at...oh. He relaxes significantly when he sees who it is who has his arms around him, but still gives him a light smack.*

You ought to warn me before you do such things, Nigredo. That is, unless you're looking to start a fight.

Sorry, sorry. The opportunity was a little too tempting. [He is secretly almost proud to have almost knocked Albedo over. But he'll be letting go now and fixing his suit jacket.]

Maybe I ought to injure you anyway to make sure you learn your lesson about surprising me, hmm~?

Come now, I said I was sorry, didn't I?

That doesn't change the fact that you're lucky I didn't cut you open out of sheer reflex.

While I don't object to hugging you, I have to plead 'strange compulsion' on this one.

Oh really? Are you certain you weren't just feeling lonely, little baby~?

*Despite the harsh words, his tone is light and teasing. No, he'll never be able to resist lording birth order over his dear younger brother.*

[FFFFF....'baby' never fails to get a bit of a rise out of him.]

It's hard to feel lonely at all in this place.

*Success! And now he's reaching over to attempt to muss Nigredo's hair.*

It's no use pretending, Nigredo~

[GDIT, hugging Albedo had seemed like such a good idea at the time. And now he can't fathom as to why.]

Maybe I thought you were.

*He only ruffles for a few seconds, just long enough to get the gel in Nigredo's hair to keep it sticking up at odd angles, but his hand lingers after he's satisfied with the mess.*

If that's the case, there are far safer methods of getting so close to me.

[GDIT GDIT GDIT Albedo! Now he has to fix it and he can't with your hand still there...though not that he's shoving it off or anything.]

Like I said, sudden compulsion. Though it is nice to know that I do still have some stealth skills left.

You realize you only succeeded because I wasn't expecting something like that out of you.

*Have a light hair tug.*

No one expects the quiet one of the bunch I suppose.

Next time you try to sneak up on me, it won't be so easy.

*There goes the rest of your personal space, Nigredo. He's leaning in in front of you.*

[Well...ok, he'll tolerate that. Albedo's not too heavy for him after all.]

Is that a challenge, Albedo?

Perhaps~

*Have a smirking Albedo in your face.*

Are you sure you want to issue that challenge? I was the best one at sneaking around out of us after all.

I learned a thing or two over the fourteen years we were apart, Nigredo. I wasn't slacking like someone I know~

It's hard to practice when you have to keep a tight leash on a certain someone.

But fine, if you're sure. [He now has...plans. Better keep an eye on your cape Albedo]

Excuses excuses~

*If you damage his cape, say goodbye to your nice suit.*

[Oh it won't be damaged. It would be a precious trophy/bargaining chip]

If that makes you feel any better.

It doesn't change the fact that you haven't picked up any new physical skills over the years. Well, unless you count the rumors I've heard about you and those sisters.

[He's just going to snort at that]

I have no idea what you're talking about. [Well, he does, but he doesn't approve of bringing poor Mary and Shelly into this]

It's never too late to learn. Why, I may even surprise you.

Couldn't resist

He hates you, Nigredo. Only not really.

It's the 'not really' he's banking on

If the 'not really' wasn't there, he'd already be dodging stabs XD

But of course
