Accidental Video [Open]

[wyldghost]

[There's a loud clatter and the screen turns on. The feed is pointed straight up at the sky in some alley, before a ten-year-old boy's dirt-smudged face with white hair and blue eye's appears off center, looking worried. He sits down cross-legged on the ground, picks up the communicator, and now it's visible that he's wearing a very oversized (like several xl large adult sized) gray t-shirt like a tunic or dress with shorts and sneakers.]

Oh no! Kaiba-rhya's gonna kill me! Did I break it?

[He moves the screen really close to his face so he can look at the communicator but nothing looks wrong..? But..? He doesn't know? The screen really looks weird!]

Hello? Box? Are you okay?

[ooc: If anyone responds in text, they'll be able to hear the text being read aloud by the communicator to the boy.]

[Wait. What. If your not!dad knew what you were doing, son.

Apparently, Tiriaq had been paying a little attention to just how fastidious Kaiba is in practice since an effort was make to clean up a little before he got there. Conversely, the brunette didn't have to do much before he set out, he threw on his ostentatious jacket and secreted away his tablet into an interior pocket and he was on his way.

He makes considerably good time, and when he nears the area the bird comment makes more sense. Though he was pleased to have found the boy easily he only broke his stride when he was lunged at. When they collided, Kaiba's eyes widened, and his arms floated uselessly in the air around Tiriaq. He was utterly stunned.]

It hasn't been that long, has it?

[Although he questioned it his voice was low and softly spoken. What.. should he do with this? A moment later he placed a palm to the ruffle of white hair, it was a sedate but affectionate gesture.]

Action

[wyldghost]

[Kaiba was such a funny alpha! He was strange combination of feminine flaws like obsessed with his looks and masculine ones like overly macho, while also being just generally amazing, brilliant, and clearly the best ever! Tiriaq found him absolutely fascinating. He wasn't like anyone he'd ever known but also treated him just like all his cousins and his daddy used to.

In other words, Tiriaq was really happy and this skinny, tall guy was the reason why.]

Nope!

[He snickers and looks up when his hair is fluffed. Did it matter how long it's been? He didn't think so. Still, he could tell he was making his tough guy caregiver uncomfortable so reluctantly he lets go.

Stepping back, he takes out his communicator so Kaiba can inspect it.]

I'm sorry if I embarrassed you on the box. I didn't break it did I?

Action

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[If Kaiba could only hear that assessment for himself, he would have agreed with the latter portion and denied the flaws. Both the attention to detail in his appearance and his bravado were all apart of projecting the right image, the one that drove him to his many successes. Any similarities to Tiriaq's relatives was purely accidental, but he did believe that children needed an authoritative person to look up to, someone that exuded confidence and strength that the kid could either emulate later in life or glean a feeling of security from now. Ie. if someone tried to harm Tiriaq, Kaiba would make sure they regretted the attempt.]

[Was it a betrayal to his actual brother's memory to allow this other boy a place in his.... protective sphere read as: heart. It couldn't really be helped, it was too late to turn away now]

Let me take a look.

[Reaching out for the tablet, he gently accepted it before drawing it up to eye level.]

There's some scuffing on the protective case... [.. but he continued fiddling around with it to test it's response times and functions.]

Re: Action

[When the tablet is moved out of reach, Tiriaq tries to stand on his toes to see better. When that doesn't work, he moves to try and hold on to Kaiba's leg to stand even higher on his toes. Still can't see. How was this man so tall?! He was a giant!

He crouches down.. and jumps! He tries to use the momentum to climb up on to Kaiba's shoulders like a cat might since this was bound to be a brilliant idea.]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[There didn't appear to be any additional damage- with as short as Tiriaq is it wasn't surprising. The tumble would have needed to have been from a greater height, or with more force behind the blow. Kaiba was about to voice this, when he felt the further infringement on his personal space. A hug is one thing, but what was the boy trying to accomplish with what he was attempting now.

Knitting his eyebrows, Kaiba looked down in time to see the crouch.]

What are you...

[.. but the final word never made it past his lips as the other started to scramble up him like he was some sort of tree. Leaning forward from the additional weight his footing remained true but his frown deepened. He also emitted an undignified yelp of surprise that he was less then proud of. Kaiba likely looked ridiculous with a kid on his back, and his arms outstretched to either side, still holding the tablet in one hand]

If you wanted to see that badly, you could have done the sensible thing and asked.

[wyldghost]

[Made it! Tiriaq was beaming brightly, proud of his accomplishment, and he snickers seeing the silly expression on his Kaiba-rhya's face. His arms and legs wrap around his caregiver like a koala bear on a Eucalyptus tree.

He frowns a bit confused when he's scolded though.]

But Kaiba-rhya! You always say we should be self-suff-is-ent and if we're capable of doing something ourselves then we shouldn't ask others to do it for us. Didn't I just show that I didn't need help?

[ooc: He mispronounced self-sufficient.]
