red is inside out

Patton wandered into the Common Room, surprised to find Deceit and Remus stood there.

"Uh, hi! What are you two doing here?"

Best to be nice in case they're lost or something - don't want to start a fight when there's nothing to fight over! Patton thought, quite optimistically, which was far different from Roman, who (as usual) wasn't thinking and charged forward, sword out and ready to strike one of the intruders. That intruder being Deceit, who he then pinned against the wall, sword at his throat, breathing almost down his neck. Their bodies were awfully close for rivals, and although Roman was usually naive to Deceit's ulterior motives, the two of The Others together meant trouble - that was one constant occurrence in the mindscape.

"Could you be any gayer, Roman?

Roman blushed and turned around to face Remus with a slight fluster, "Could you be any more of an idiot?"

"A+ insult from the prince with a kingdom there" Dee chuckled, with a slight blush also on his half human side, barely noticeable to anyone but Remus, who simply rolled his eyes, used to his friend's importunate feelings.

"What are you here for?" The Others turned to Patton, slightly surprised that he was still there. The most innocent of them was usually emphatic in nature, chiming in with a silly or adorable comment, and muttering something incomprehensible to anyone but himself.

"Where's Virgi-"

"Why?" Roman interrupted, perhaps a little too quickly for Deceit's liking. Whatever may be occuring between them resulted in some odd defensive nature, and Deceit was hating how he was entertaining the thought of Roman often enough to constitute a fantasy.

"Because we're not looking for him, pretty boy,"

To which Roman let out one of his offended princey noises, hurt that anyone considered him as less than beautiful, mistaking Deceit's flirty nickname for an insult. Meanwhile, Patton was more concerned that neither of the parties knew of Virgil's whereabouts.
