[Norton gives John a look like he's dumb to even ask. Then reaches behind himself, pulls his pistol from the small of his back, and then tosses it away. Then to his left sleeve to remove a small knife hidden there. The knife he doesn't toss away just yet.]

What sin would "snitch" fall under, do you think?

Not hurt, I just think maybe you need an extra reminder. On one of the scars you already have.

Lie down. [Norton gestures to the floor with his knife.] I can't work like this.

[While John is setting up, Norton strips off his white button-up shirt, and the white undershirt below that, to avoid getting them potentially stained with blood. And while he's at it, he decides to take off the rest of his clothes as well. His trousers are feeling tight and this...whatever this is...is definitely not aloof anyway.

He straddles John's hips and starts with the "ENVY" that's already been touched up recently, laying the point of the blade along the top of the "E" and pausing there.]


What make you add this one?

pharadyne: (watching)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
What powers are those?

[He slots the blade into the grooves John has already carved out and lightly runs the knife over them again, one slow letter at a time. Since this one is fresh, it's already tender and doesn't need much.]

pharadyne: (thoughtful)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
Hm, I'll just have to guess then. Is it Jon, with his ability to compel the truth out of anyone? From what I've heard, it results in a hell of a confession.

["ENVY" goes fairly quickly. "PRIDE" will take longer. He'll be properly breaking skin for this one, and it's a longer word. Norton still remembers exactly what it feels like.]

pharadyne: (who me?)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
I suspect having the truth ripped out of you is a sort of pain in and of itself.

[He's got through the "P" and the "R" and "I" is easy, but he takes his time on the wide and difficult curve of the "D." John did ask him not to ruin his handiwork.]

pharadyne: (cute)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
[Norton finishes the "D" and moves on to the "E." Straight lines are much easier, although "E" does have a lot of them.]

So it's a Confession without worth because it isn't earned?

[Norton sets the knife down on the blanket next to John and rests his palms flat on John's chest. Carving into John was extremely cathartic, even if it doesn't erase his own scar. He leans down and gives John a soft, lingering kiss.]

I forgive you now. Absolvo te.

From: [personal profile] pharadyne
Yes. [Norton breaths the word against John's lips. Very definitely failing at aloof, but he wants this.]

Date: 2021-12-18 06:08 pm (UTC)
pharadyne: (lying down)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
Yes. [Even before John asked, Norton wasn't in any hurry to leave. His eyes are half-lidded and blissful, his neck stretched out to receive John's kisses, and his whole body feels relaxed and faintly euphoric, even as he's still breathing quickly from the exertion. He'd needed that. He thinks John did, too.]

As long as you like.

pharadyne: (from behind)
From: [personal profile] pharadyne
I don't usually. Stay the night with people, that is. [Which means that something is different now, since Norton is agreeing to do so without any hesitation or calculation involved.]
