[ Konoe and Rai have... This thing. This intimate. Fondness. That he still sometimes has trouble coming to terms with how such an asshole can make his heart beat so fast. Still, he has splayed his feelings for him already, so why?
Why is he here? With some mysterious scribe that talks about your mates' level of compatibility can be tested with a smell trial. ]
... I don't think we need to reaffirm our relationship by doing this.
[ It's fine if Rai smells him, but he isn't into the idea of procuring the other Ribika dirty clothes to smell and judge if they're compatible. Actually, he jsut doesn't want to hear Rai say that he smells and should learn how to groom properly. ]
[ theoretically, rai agrees. he's smelled konoe a lot. he has groomed every inch of him before. every! inch!
however, the idea was thrust upon him and he has yet to back down to the challenge. wear this shirt for three days without bathing (gross), and see if it works.
if it "doesn't work" he's just going to shred the shirts with his claws and they'll be on their way, so it's fine? it's fine. ]
[ Konoe is unaware of this challenge that Rai pursues. Instead, he only sees this as an inconvenience to them. Likewise, why would he want to smell Rai after three days without a bath?!?!
An eyebrow twitches as he keeps repeating Rai's question in his head, despite already answering. He's usually composed. He's usually calm! People have said this, but it's always this big cat that seems to rile him up. ]
[ he's already pulling on the shirt as konoe complains. he is definitely going to sweat in it. the good news is that tops always smell but they always smell good, in yaoi, so it should be fine!! ]
If you have to be worried about something, stupid cat, it shouldn't be the sweat.
[ DON'T CALL HIM STUPID. His fur bristles a bit as he glares at him. ]
... Please don't go hunting in it.
[ Yes, that's what he should be worried about—Rai going out to hunt and gather, drenched in blood, and he doesn't wash it. Reluctantly, he also switches shirts and finds it's very comfortable? Which makes him frown cause he's not supposed to like this. ]
[ it's not hunting? it might be worse. he doesn't use a fishing pole, and he's bound to get fish guts all over him, as well as mud and muck from the river.
the only positive is he might not actually sweat too much in it. ]
[ Though he does consider how Rai fishes... Not clean at all, but it's not like he minds the smell of muddy water and fish. He thinks. Maybe he's already steeling himself for the worse based o his disgruntled expression.
It eventually settles, though the knit of his eyebrows stay. Ears fold back as he looks off to the side, maybe a little shy to admit this. ]
I was just hoping we could spend some time together.
[ Konoe missed him, maybe... ]

[ An ear flickers when he catches that laugh!! Usually, it makes him irritated because it's usually a reaction from his own expense. But. It sounds nice.
...
What is stopping him? Konoe sits there quietly, fiddling with the hem of his shirt before crawling over and settling on Rai's lap. If he fits, he sits. His tail sways a bit, tip flicking as he gets comfortable.
[ rai is plenty large enough for him to settle comfortably in his lap, and he could say something. he would. it's on the tip of his scratchy cat tongue.
but... he did ask him what was stopping him. he posed a challenge of sorts, and the stupid cat who wants his attention acted on it so... he should praise him a little.
and he does. by leaning forward a little and nipping at the tip of his ear. affectionately. ]
[ He knows that isn't the the point of the nipping, but he's a little embarrassed to be cared for like this. Despite his demeanor and words, he is a little happy to be spoiled.
Would it be all right if he pulls Rai's fluffy tail closer to him? He's going to do that and hold it, running through his fingers through his fur. Is he shedding? ]
he makes a sound in the back of his throat and, just barely, nips him a little harder. but he isn't pulling the tail away, and there's no sign of annoyance from that. ]

Fishing.

What's stopping you?
