feeling a little chatty

222 [Before the Start of the Flood]

[He's a little beaten up, as you might be able to tell on the video.]

Disappointing news I'm afraid, my dears. Auditions will be a matter addressed after the port at the end of the month. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll certainly feel more comfortable running lines with people after this place has gone back to normal.

I'm sure you're heartbroken, the lot of you.

The changes to the facilities don't especially agree with me, or Renate for that matter. [a bark in the background.] It leaves me feeling especially optimistic about what's to come.

I don't know that I'm much of an actor when I'm not manipulating a room. I could give it a try, might break the routine. I won't get wounded if you get someone decent, though.

Perhaps we'll try a reading someday. [He turns his head to look back at him.]

Mmmhmm.

...sup?

[He looks warm and comfortable, almost drowsy.]

You're doing an awful job of scolding me, I'll have you know.

...I am kinda falling down on the job. [Another rumble of laughter.]

I missed this.

You know you're always welcome. I rather miss having company. [And Megamind is a little too nervous to be alone in his cabin with him anymore]

I'll come back more often. I've been keeping to my own territory now that I'm a warden, but... eh. I missed this. [The repetition seems to be all he wants to convey.]

Seems I'm only of use to anyone anymore if they're an Inmate at the time. Tis the only time I'm able to get another body in my bed, at any rate. I shudder to think who I'll be assigned next.

[Riddick extracts a hand from where it's wedged against the couch back and strokes the Marquis' cheek.]

You know, you could actually ask me to stay the night once in a while. Whether you meant getting physical or actually sleeping.

[For just a moment he leans into the touch.]

I say you are always welcome.

[But of course the point is he's saying he wants to be asked.]

And it certainly wouldn't hurt me to extend an invitation.

I don't get really aggressive like I was all that often. But that doesn't mean I mind. It's a social thing, a way to keep close. Don't mind at all.

Invite, when you need someone.

I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into.

Oh, threaten me. Make it pretty.

Not a threat so much as a promise, dearheart. You should understand by now that I'm a lonesome sort and I always grow so accustomed so quickly to another person sleeping beside me.

I'll tell you if you start abusing my stamina.

I keep night hours more than I used to. Might not always be there when you wake up. ...or when you go to sleep.

[A lip curve, because playing the creepy convict still feels so right.]

Say no more. I understand. You're very busy.

You gonna throw a fit if I'm there when you wake up? If I can persuade Renate to let me get in without waking you up in the first place.

Oh not at all. [He shifts a little to sit up, having to be mindful of his foot.]

[Riddick smiles, making distant plans to sneak in for one of his cat-naps one of these nights.]

I'm not doing anything tonight, though. Want me to stick around? Make sure you keep your weight off that foot?

I would greatly appreciate that. It's not so bad as it was before but having had a sprain before I know it will get worse before it gets better. I'm sure I'll be a bother to everyone until then, but I do know one or two potent painkillers.

You can bother me tonight. [He slides back to get himself a little more room, sits up, all grace and fitting into tight spaces.]

Something before bed-? Painkillers, blow job-?

Oh let's not give away the ending before the tale has been told. I'm just pleased to have you here for the time being.

[Despite the blunt offer, when Riddick kisses his forehead it's extremely chaste. It's social, really is, affection between one animal and another.]
