Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tavros looked at the two unconscious figures in front of him. Now, all he was waiting for was for them to wake up. Now, why was Tavros in a room with two knocked out trolls? Well, he had a bit of a bone to pick with them. Not much like his usual demeanor, but that had been changing as of late. And, it wasn't really something he disliked. He glanced between Vriska and Gamzee, noting how they were positioned while out cold. They were restrained so they couldn't up and kill him (in Vriska's case). After all, he only wanted to talk to them, and this seemed to be able to be the only way to get the two together with him were they won't act all oblivious.

Tavros was far from stupid. He knew very well that the two of them were black for each other. That was clear now. Apparently the both of them wanted to skirt around the subject with him. He suspected it had something to do with the fact that they didn't want him to blame himself. Ha, as if. Those days were gone.

Anyways, he also knew that they both had red ambitions for him. Well, he had something to say about that. Vriska, well, he had to come to forgive her for all she had done to him post Sgrub. However, after having Aradia help him aquire Vriska's copy of her ancestor's old journal, he started to understand why, or at least had a logical reason figured out for her actions. Which, he'd address with her soon enough. As for Gamzee, well, he'd heard about Gamz decapitating him not too long after Vriska had killed him. It wasn't something he liked to think about, but he was glad he couldn't remember. Other than that, Gamzee was cool in his books.

Still, he had to do this. He had decided to ask the two of them to dinner, unbeknownst to the other. When they found out, they didn't seem to happy. However, Tavros could tell they acted civil for him. What they also didn't know was that he had spiked their food. Vriska got a little taste of sopor slime in her 'pea soup' and Gamzee had a hoofbeast tranquilizer mixed into his food. Before too long, the two of them were out cold, and, with little trouble, he was able to cart them off to a part of the hive in the void where they'd probably never been. He was grateful then for the muscles he had grown into. Once they were placed carefully into their seats, it had been time for Tavros to play the waiting game. They should be waking up anytime soon.

Tavros watched their limp figures. Sure enough, he was right. Gamzee was the first to come too, but he wasn't fully lucid. Far from it, actually. It was alright though, Tav could wait to explain what was going on until he was. Though, he was glad that his assumption had been right. Gamzee didn't spazz out or anything. Then again, that could have been due to the fact that he'd had enough tranq's to knock out a fully grown musclebeast. He smiled at Gamz as he muttered his name, knowing full well that he had tried to look at him, but was unsuccessful. Apparently he hadn't gained full control of his muscles yet.

Vriska, well, she was another story. It seemed as if her rage had burned off all effects of the sopor slime as she came to. At first she was quiet, trying to figure out what was going on, however, it wasn't long before she began yelling at him and demanding to be let go. He raised his eyebrow and smirked at her. It was quite funny, actually. For a change the little spider was caught in a web, and she wasn't too happy about it. If she kept up her ruckus, she was bound to...Yup, she had managed to knock herself over.

With a few quick strides, Tavros made his way over to her chair and picked her up deftly, placing her back down without a word. Though, he did send her a look that made her shut her mouth. It was harsh on his face, and he knew it shocked her. Before stepping away, he brushed her hair out of her face for her, much to her surprise. He took a step towards Gamzee and smirked at his friend, looking over at Vriska a moment before he leaned over and kissed Gamzee on the lips briefly. That action made Vriska's eyes flash dangerously at him and caused her face to flush a deep blue. Success.

"Now, I suggest you keep calm while we wait for Gamzee to come to his senses...I have something to discuss with the two of you.." He said in a stern voice. It was out of place, coming from him. Instead of looking for an answer from her, he made his way back to his perch against the wall. "That is, unless you'd want me to gag you as well..."

Tavros was actually surprised at the fact that Vriska kept her mouth shut so easily. Apparently the threat of a gag was enough to get her to keep those pretty little fangs clenched tight, biting on her lips for aide. Although, he was certain if it had been anyone else that had said that to her (other than the John human), she would have kept running her mouth, arguing and protesting. Despite what a lot of the others thought, Vriska did care, she just cared more for some than others, and Tavros realized that a while ago. Basically, he noticed because he was one of the only few beings that would easily give her the time of day. It was easy to see that she did have feelings of the nicer nature. They might not be so nice to everyone else's eyes, but if you hung around her long enough (and you were on her good side) you'd notice. With a small sigh he took a few steps over to her, lifting her chin up so she'd look up at him once he was close enough.

"No need to look so absolutely....pitiful...right now, Vriska darling..." He stated, using that one word in particular on purpose. Her eyes flashed up at him, but there was hardly a trace of hostility in them. She was more confused and shocked more than anything at that moment as he reached around and cradled her neck with one hand as he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss right beneath her earlobe, nipping at the skin gently before pulling away. Vriska gasped softly at his actions, but before she could respond any other way, he was away from her once again, leaning back up against the wall.

He looked back at her, her face was flushed even more fully, but instead of keeping her gaze trained towards the floor, she looked back at him occasionally. After a while, their little exchanges of looks was broken by the sound of Gamzee coming to. Finally, time to get this thing started.

"Well, I had to get the both of you together where you couldn't play your game of 'let's not tell Tavros about us being in blackrom together.'." That got him a semi-surprised look out of at least Vriska. "I'm not stupid, I figured it out, and you guys were getting horrible at hiding it as well. I could care less that you two are hateromancing the ******** out of eachother. However, I'm more interested in the fact that I know the both of you are flushing red for me. " It sounded a little arrogant, for him to be saying things like that, but it was true.

"And, I wanted the two of you to know that I am not going to choose between the both of you. " At that point, he held up a hand, cutting of any protest. " I'm not going to choose cause I plan on having both of you in my red quadrant." And with that stated, a small smirk played its way across his lips, waiting for their responses.
