"Showing off"? [ he's giving junpei a Look, but he gets immediately distracted by-- escha just patting junpei, and he's not sure if he's more surprised or a little bit jealous.
the jealous is mostly the horny talking, so he's not acknowledging that. ]
[WHY DOES HE GET TO BE THE ONE WHO GETS HIT WITH BOTH OF THEM FIRST? It's obvious that the effect immediately hits, given the way he goes stiff (haha) the moment Escha touches his shoulder.
God. He can at least try to restrain himself long enough for a conversation even if his mind is wandering thinking about the both of them, a heated sort of arousal unfurling in his stomach as he folds his arms over his chest.]
...they don't cancel each other out. [Like. Just a friendly reminder. His throat's dry and he sucks in a breath through his teeth. He's trying to count to ten to test his own resolve? He gets to about eight and quits.] Okay, just so we're clear? I'm not doing this by myself. Not like this.
[ Escha's demeanor doesn't change much - she's still in Research Mode, but a blush spreads across her cheeks. Her eyes dart to Junpei, then away again. ]
Oh, I know!
[ Just to even things out, Escha reaches out a hand for Dick. That was the problem, right? Solved! ]
[ i'm glad dick gets to have this be cute, and he's holding back a laugh at junpei-- he can be turned on and still think his annoyance is cute funny, it's fine-- when escha reaches for him. his smile turns a bit stuff and he grabs her hand, holding it gently for a second.
wow this is not the kind of movement that he usually associates with extra horny. damn. he feels bad for making fun of junpei for a second. ]
There you go, JT. Problem solved?
[ it starts a whole new set of problems, but. dick doesn't quite mind right now? someone tell him to stop wearing his stupid mask already. ]
[...hah. Good. Escha's being innocent and Junpei's just going to laugh because the whole situation's so stupid but...there's a light grin.]
Mm...mostly. [He takes a step closer, a hand resting on Escha's shoulder and the other hand coming up to pull at Dick's mask.] Still not fond of this. Escha, what do you think? Should the mask come off?
[ junpei hasn't pulled it off yet, but dick's making no attempt to stop him-- though junpei's close enough he can see the hint of a blush as dick laughs a bit, awkward ]
Maybe. She's right though. [He's pulling it off now.] Your face is pretty handsome.
[And since this is the kind of tone they're setting, there's a mock frown as he looks Dick over.] What should come off next...?
[Is he being an asshole? Sort of, but also, it's better for Escha to be more involved this time than the time stdemons happened. Also I don't know how superhero outfits work and if this is one piece blow it off as Junpei teasing..]
[He rolls his eyes almost good-naturedly before he complies, reaching for the hem of his shirt before pulling it off and setting it aside.] A lot less fun when it's you two ganging up on me, you know
[A thoughtful look to Escha.] Ladies' choice on this one.
[ -- well, just so she doesn't feel TOO awkward and stared at and also because dick's outfit is a whole thing, where it's not one piece but it's like. armored and complicated and i dont know how it works, he's just. like. undressing right now? ]
First lesson of tonight: you don't have to take all your clothes off if you're not comfortable.
[Damn and he's just in normal jeans y'all. But with that said, he's also moving to head toward the bed, perching on the edge of it to watch both of them quietly.]
Second lesson: don't be afraid to tell us what does and doesn't make you comfortable in general. [He lifts his eyebrows.] The point is to enjoy this.

That sounds reasonable.

[ Then, to Junpei, she gives a dutiful nod, and finishes unlacing her top. And I'm. Calling it here, this is a fade to black, leave me alone. ]
