[Lee's been out of the Marines for a while now, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly become completely incapable of putting up a good fight. He tries to twist away from the hold, aiming his other fist towards the man's stomach.

No, it has not occurred to him that Hans was going in for a kiss, because that's fucking insane.]

[trettende]

[ Fucking insane is right!! But damn, Hans was kind of hoping he didn't know how to fight. The Southern Isles Royal Navy is no USMC but Hans is able to at least keep the punch from hitting anything too vital. It would probably be smart to move away but Hans really is going for the fucking insane plan here. He keeps his hold of Lee and even pulls him closer.

Close enough to try and kiss him, mostly just a quick peck. It's not a perfect plan... ]

[To be fair the Balladeer is pretty darn hopeless at fighting, so it was a good gamble.]

What the fuck? [Lee grimaces, shoving Hans away. What the fuck, indeed.]

[trettende]

[ Looks like genre conventions are not on your side today, Hans. Or maybe this just isn't the right genre. Hans takes a few steps back, catching himself before he trips over. He frowns, clearly disappointed... he really thought that would work? ]

...In my defense, that kind of worked last time.

[ Last time was a little different, though. ]

[the moral of the story is don't kiss assassins?]

What are you talking about?

[trettende]

[ Sure, when you put it like that it seems obvious. ]

Last time you—well, not you, obviously, but the Balladeer. Last time, true love's kiss brought back the memories that he'd lost.

[ Hey, at least he seems to have confused Lee enough into stopping his escape? Ish? ]

I must have done something wrong, since it didn't work...

[tellthestory]

You had better not try that again! What the fuck?

[let's get mad about how weird this is...?]

[trettende]

What, you've never read a fairy tale?

[ Like this is some obvious thing people do. Be in fairy tales. ]

I'm not sure what genre this is supposed to be, but you saw the pictures. You're not just you. You're him, too. And I'd really like to get the Balladeer back.

[tellthestory]

We'd all like a lot of things, buddy. [oh my god this guy is crazy and he is maybe going to die?] So what? You're gonna just keep me locked in this house forever?

[trettende]

[ Wow, rude, he's not gonna kill you, Lee. I mean, if that brought the Balladeer back, maybe....... but nah, let's not go down that road. Hans cares about Bal too much to actually hurt him. Honest. ]

No, of course not. [ He hasn't exactly planned this out, his last big plan involved murder, so maybe that fear isn't too unfounded. ] I'd like to figure out what happened... how to fix this.

[ He sighs. He's not moving, obviously. But he's also not in love with Lee, either. ]

If we can't figure anything out, you can go.
