"You've had to deal with my mess. It's only fair I deal with yours."

He turns to face Basker once more.

"Besides... it's worth it."

[ . . . baskerville is arriving once more . ]

[ he seems to be deep in thought as he approaches . then , he speaks . ]

“ juniper . ”

Juniper is in his cell... as per usual. He perks up when he hears that voice, however. His eyes dart to the other.

"... Basker? You alright?"

[spotlight-on-juniper]

Perfectly safe? No harm can reach them?

That look in Baskerville's eye... he knows that look. That want. That longing.

"... I think they already do."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Well... protection isn't always your responsibility, you know?"

He glances back at Basker.

"I think once you accept that, then you can let that person into your heart. Because until then... your self image will get in the way of a healthy relationship. With them and yourself."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Hmm... well, why would they get hurt?"

He leans against the bars, his back facing Baskerville.

"I need to know that before I can help.

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"What? Hey, c'mon. I'm just teasing. You can talk to me! I'll help the best I can."

A very soft pout.

"Please? I'll be good."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"... matters of the heart?"

He takes note of Baskerville's body language. A smirk comes to his face.

"Has the cold and calculated Baskerville's heart been warmed by someone~?"

"You probably expected the Phantom. But I've been the Phantom for the past... five years."

He chuckles, staring at Baskerville.

"... Well. I had this in my wardrobe. They can't take that from me!"

He's dressed as Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls.

"Luck be a lady... maybe I'll get some visitors today."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

Ah. A visitor.

"Baskerville! You finally came."

He flips his hair.

"For your information, I'm Sky Masterson. You know, from Guys and Dolls?"

He's dressed as Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls.

"Luck be a lady... maybe I'll get some visitors today."

"Ah. That's not good... you can't really watch me properly if you didn't get sleep."

He frowns, a hum leaving him.

"... why don't you take a nap? I'll behave."

[ mmn . . . ]

[ here comes baskerville, to supervise juniper for a while . he seems tired . . . ]

Cue a light coming to Juniper's eyes. He notices the other's lacking attitude.

"Basker? You alright?"

"I'm going to be honest, kid... I don't have much to lose."

He closes his eyes, pressing his forehead to the device.

"Go ahead."

[Felix is back, holding some sort of device in his hands. It's quite obvious he hasn't recognized Juni.. still.]

Hey, I wanna test this thing on you. Do you mind being my guinea pig? If it works, you get telekinesis. If it doesn't.. ah... I'm not sure. Willing to take the chance?

"What?"

Hm... tempting. He leans against the bars, nodding his head.

"Sure. Let's try. Might as well."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"... sure, kid."

Sigh.

"I'm fine."

Sarcasm.

[spotlight-on-juniper]

"Ah. Sabretooth. What a... pleasure.

I think I know who you mean. And they're the only one keeping me sane in this hellhole. So... we'll see where things go."

[spotlight-on-juniper]

A child with a wheelchair seems to have, wandered by, their kind of staring at him. They squint

"Hey, didn't you used to be Taller or something?"

@agentgorgonspeaking

"Still taller than you, squirt."
