[A rarely-seen David is meandering through the halls, opening doors at random. Earlier that day the Nexus had decided to be "cute" and make the bed linens vanish from everyone's beds. And the linen closets from the halls, apparently. Which is why Solid Snake is looking for where all the damn sheets went.]

[And he found them.]

[Strung up throughout the first floor lobby are the bedsheets of everyone in the Nexus. Unfortunately, the Nexus has made some minor...alterations. The sheets have been personalized with the cartoon pattern of things that identify who they may belong to.]

[David grimaces as he catches sight of his own maligned sheets. As he inspects the frolicking cartoon huskies, he wonders if perhaps he should just go without.]

[((OOC: Come get your laundry, Nexus-folk. Or come laugh at the patterns. Open Post.))]

[Stop complaining, you smell fantastic.]

I..well. I suppose I could do that.

[His voice is reluctant. Being so close to a Snake he can't have could easily be maddening.]

[He smells like kumquats, Liquid.]

You don't have to if you don't want to. I'm just saying that the offer's there.

[The reluctance doesn't hurt much; he can guess the reasons for the hesitation.]

[You say that like it's a bad thing. Would you rather smell like smoke and dogs?]

I... [it takes an effort to bend his neck enough to say it, even to an alternate of his master]

[Kumquats. At least smoke and dogs is manly.]

[Snake shrugs uncomfortably and tucks the newly recovered bedding under his arm.] I'm heading back there now. You can come if you like. You know where it is.

[So's a locker room, but you wouldn't want to smell like one.]

[carelessly] I might as well. It's about time to make lunch.

[He is fucking cooking for you whether you like it or not.]

[His grunted agreement sounds pleased as he leads the way to the room.]

What're you in the mood for?

It's a good day for a curry. [It's always a good day for a curry.]

[He walks alongside Snake. Really he should stay away from him. Being so close yet unable to touch is quietly maddening, but the company is welcome all the same, and seeing him so young and free of bitterness is fascinating.]
