[ If only he could stab her, too. The universe is so cruel to him.
Felix is annoying and unfortunately he has to see how far his patience can last. His dark gaze stays on him, even though it also takes in their surroundings. Any twitch different around them, any new swatch of color, Joonghyuk is watching.
While it doesn't matter if Felix knows his name, Joonghyuk believes he should be addressed with respect— ]
[Maybe the universe is cruel to Yoo Joonghyuk because he calls himself Kim Dokja during random subscenarios? Felix accepts this as his name because he has no reason to believe that his dashing guard would LIE to his face? He wanders off... to the counter to pay for his flowers,]
Did you know, Dokja, that you are the tallest guard I've ever had? And I've had many guards.
[and then out of the shop, chatting away with the one person in this world who is currently forced to put up with him]
[ Felix may learn why Joonghyuk would lie about his name in the near future when he causes trouble and gains awful rapport. That'll be under Dokja's reputation, not his own.
He watches and follows, not saying a word. Even when Felix tries to start conversation, there is a pause before he answers... Like he's debating if this is worth the trouble. ]
What of it?
[ Joonghyuk doesn't think he's that tall. Tall, yes, but he has met taller... He is a small speck, but he is grateful to not be puny like a certain writer. ]
[Felix hears the pause and waits, because it's a toss-up whether or not a bodyguard chooses to engage with Felix, whether or not they succumb to his charm or to his irritating persistence, whether or not they're there to keep him safe or just there to watch him for the sake of agendas far more important than Felix's own.
And then Joonghyuk answers, even if it's a nothing answer to match Felix's nothing comment,]
'What of it'? [he shakes his head in mock-distress] Said like a man who's never had to reach for something on a high shelf.
[this is doubly stupid because felix is tall too, though not as tall as dokjahyuk]
[ He's quiet about this, too, because he has no memories of being a child... Felix doesn't even know, but he hit a nerve on his existential crisis. Just a little bit, though. ]
My duties as your bodyguard doesn't include reaching for items you can get yourself.
[ Joonghyuk's expression hasn't changed, except the aura does. It's one that twists in annoyance because he did not ask for details. It isn't so much more annoyance yet as he's trying to gauge how grating he finds Felix's voice. ]
Yes, I do.
[ And if anything he thinks he has enough speed to race a regular horse. A cosmic horror horse, he isn't as sure about. ]
[ There's no way Joonghyuk is going to win over a horse really quickly. Those creatures are full of anxiety and murder. He still has to carry confidence, at least with sticking close to Felix. ]
It's not a surprise you've found affinity with a troublesome horse.
[ Granted Joonghyuk would, too. Anyway, show him your horse. ]
[there should be a comparison made between horses and yjh...]
That's quite a bold statement to make upon our first meeting.
[it is funny though because it's true... Felix will lead him to the stables so he can meet Camellia]
I only own Camellia, who in turns, owns my heart and soul. [camellia narrows her horse eyes in challenge at Yoo Joonghyuk.... felix reaches up to distract her with some pats] She's seen me at my worst, and I've raised her since she was a foal. Is she not the most beautiful creature you've ever seen?
[ To varying degrees. They meet Camellia and she is a beautiful horse... Joonghyuk watches her carefully, eyes narrowing in turn, as Felix voices his horse girl ways.
Silence, but not cowed. Because Camellia is just a horse. ]
Her coat is well brushed.
[ A compliment. She is beautiful, but she's leering at him. ]

[ How unfriendly. ]
Now that you have your flowers, your destination.
[ You DODGED his question. ]
no subject
I am heading to the house of a very special lady, who is dear to my heart.
[he said destination not details?]
But first, to the stables. Do you know how to ride?
no subject
Yes, I do.
[ And if anything he thinks he has enough speed to race a regular horse. A cosmic horror horse, he isn't as sure about. ]
no subject
That is unfortunate, as I only have the one. But perhaps you can ride behind me?
[how much more grating has his voice become]
no subject
You can ride behind me.
[ Somehow, even more grating than both you and I could imagine. ]
no subject
If you insist... Though I must warn you -- Camellia is a bit tricky to handle.
[his beloved horse... Camellia,]

Were there not others?

That is all thanks to me, as she cares little about her own looks. A fact that you may relate to.
[since yoo joonghyuk is stunningly handsome but gives off the vibes of someone who doesn't care how handsome he looks... (hsy voice) damn protagonist]
