Oh yeah. [ a sage nod. ] You have to watch him closely, if you turn your back for even five seconds he'll disappear and you'll find out something's been broken into or find him beating up guys six times his size before you know it. Sometimes he even steals candy from babies.
[ he really is just saying all of this with a straight face. ]
I think the idea is to not get stuck in places, Will. [ is he sulking because this is the first time they've failed to escape on a rescue mission? perhaps. ]
I don't know. Do something and win on your own? [ it's a joke, and it's kind of hard to stay mad when will's smiling so fuck it, he guesses. he's leaning on the bars to be as close as possible. it is not close. ]
You mean when we get out of here? Or out of Oceanside all together?
[he also leans on the bars to be as close as possible. it's not close. even if they reach their arms out they won't be close enough to even brush their fingertips against each other.
this is suffering.]
Both.
[don't just ask him out on a date when you're both in jail, will.]
[ listen will can ask him out in jail considering nico asked him out in front of the whole fucking camp. they are both smushed against the bars of their cells and leaning as close as possible to see each other. ]
...somewhere nice doesn't sound bad. [ they have a lot of things to figure out, but they always do their best work together. also, a date sounds nice, don't @ him. ] Maybe some more of the construction will be finished and we can find something tomorrow.
Yeah, we can go take a look around and see what kind of progress has been made over the last week or so. They've gotta have finished something by now, right?
[a date sounds really nice. the jailbreak was kind of a date for them. it didn't end exactly how they wanted it to though.]
You'd think, but considering how else they've been running the city my feelings aren't exactly optimistic. [ are they ever. but he can at least be optimistic about a date for tomorrow. so that's nice. ]
...maybe? Saya did say they were made out of synthetic sort of material. We're not sure if they're costumes or if they're born or handmade by someone but those would also be very small officials.
Yeah, see? Maybe that's how they're getting their pictures for the paper and finding out all the news about the leaders and now us. Nobody would ever suspect the prinnies.

Nico, you're sullying my good name!
no subject
You're with me, isn't that sullying it enough? [ another ill-colored joke, but it's mostly kidding now. ]
no subject
[even joking, he will not let the idea that being with nico might be sullying his reputation stand.]
no subject
...I don't even have a good argument because we're stuck here, so I'll let you win this one.

Let's go somewhere nice after we get out of here. To make up for this.

...they could also be spies for the officials. If they're synthetic, their eyes could be cameras.
