[Yeah he's gotta take a pause in his sipping to just LEVEL BAREN A LOOK.]
Baren, you're here as a chaperone.
[But since when has Baren ever done what he's supposed to do?? God.
Either way, he's not being hit by any memories here! What a bust. He'll take one last sip just to be sure and he's planning on being like "no it's really just your bad luck", when--]
Ow—!
[One hand raises to his mouth and he nearly drops his dang punch HE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS.]
[he actually sounds surprised who the fuck trusted him to be a chaperone he just walked in because he follows people that he likes -
except there's that "ow". and it's a very minute thing how baren actually sincerely pays attention and his eyes immediately flick back to Kashuu with almost laser focus. his hand hovers his phone in his pocket in case there's something shitty in the punch and then he has to call a car to bring kashuu to the hospital while he keeps it away from the kids
it's because he's thinking of so many things that he doesn't think to school the concern out of his expression
[Why is Baren allowed to go anywhere without a chaperone of his own, that's the real question here that needs to be answered.
He cares, though. Kashuu notices that concern!! And in any other situation he'd probably either tease Baren about it or just sit there and enjoy it in silence while making a stupid expression that Baren would probably want to punch him over. As things are right now, though, he's just 1) concerned about the punch 2) concerned about his mouth and 3) concerned because he made Baren concerned. What a time to be alive.]
I think I cut my lip on something?
[Pulling his hand away, his lip is indeed bleeding... But not because of anything suspicious in his cup, like he first suspects. His cup is totally fine!
[it's a mystery also kashuu might be that chaperone
Baren squints as he leans in closer to Kashuu just to get a better look - there's a lot of weird lighting going on, why are they at prom - and he reaches a hand out to rest beneath his chin just so that he can tilt Kashuu's face up as he needs to actually Look at the issue.
Which is apparently becoming a vampire.]
.... Kiyo, what've your hallucinomemories been? Biting people? Thirst for blood? That kind of thing? How do you feel about garlic?
[DON'T YOU judge his sparklin vampiric ass, he's doing his best over here... Looking more and more like a fictional vampire every day. At least they're not very intrusive fangs! Teeny tiny little bitty ones, especially the bottom two, but they're definitely noticeable in place of the Totally Normal Teeth that were there just a few seconds earlier.]
Eh—? ...Eh?! No! What's that even supposed to mean, huh? What do you think I am, some kinda vampire?
[Why does he actually need to defend the fact that he's an evil genie who lives in a sword and not a vampire??]
[LET HIM LIVE!! He just squints right back, rubbing at his lower lip with the back of his hand somewhat absentmindedly. Thankfully it's not bleeding anymore, but that is a small concern in comparison to the eternally large concern that is Baren.]
I dunno what you're talking about, that's my natural smile.
[Playing coy for the camera is a natural reflex, okay!!
But he'll oblige after a second, throwing up the stupid heart fingers sign that's trending everywhere as he flashes a great big concerning smile. When will his vampire coven come find him...]
[aka he does not buy that even a little bit. but regardless he's taking the picture of Kashuu's big concerning smile with his newfound teefs, then turning his phone around to show him the picture in all his fang-y glory]
Opens his mouth a little to just kind of... touch..... one of his APPARENT FANGS...]
—Oh my god?!
[AS IF THE RED EYES WEREN'T BAD ENOUGH anyway excuse him while he whips his own phone out so he can selfiecam-mirror it up and take a look for himself. Yep, those sure are some brand-new teeth... At least they're not shark teeth, but damn?!]
[fuck you, someone could snap a shot of baren stuffing his face with french fries and it'd be #aesthetic and some commentary on modern junk food or something
[LIKE HONESTLY PROBABLY NOT UNTRUE THOUGH why can Baren get away with anything.]
Why?! [Not "why shouldn't I bite my lip", just a general why me why of Despair. He can't even appreciate the rare mystical beast that is Baren's concern, because he's too upset that Retrospec continues to pick on him.]
This is the worst! What kinda cursed punch even is this? We've gotta dump it.

It's his new stupid little fangs that aren't.
He sure did just cut his lip on his own teeth.]
