((OOC: One day I will have a regular tagging schedule again, I swear. ))
My eyes are unusual? I suppose I've never noticed. I'm flattered that you've taken the time to notice, though.
[ Kevin hums thoughtfully, smile growing impossibly wider as he watches Carlos. He isn't bothered by the comment, not offended in the slightest. Unusual doesn't always mean bad, and Kevin knows for a fact there isn't anything bad about his eyes. He's been blessed by the Smiling God. If there were anything wrong with them he would have never received such an honor. The Smiling God only accepts perfection, after all. Anything less is unacceptable. Carlos will learn about all that in time.
He leans in just slightly, taking his hand from under Carlos's chin to rest his own chin on top of it. ]
Well, it is understandable that the Station Management over there would be agitated about that! It wouldn't do for a radio professional to leave in the middle of a broadcast, after all. Oh, I'm sure you had some very scientific reasons for requesting that this Cecil cut things short, but all good radio hosts know the importance of perseverance even in the most dire of situations. Work is very important, you know.
[ He leans back again, setting the fork he'd been twirling with his other hand back on the plate. His own dessert is mostly done and he has no desire to eat any more of it, but he doesn't push it away from him just yet. No need to make Carlos think Kevin is in any rush to get out of here. Let him finish first, eat as much as he can before exposing him to Kevin's studio. Best to let as many changes as possible happen here to make the rest of them even smoother later.
Kevin laughs with Carlos at the weird comment. Carlos has a knack for noticing the unusual, doesn't he?
And then Kevin's smile shifts into something different, something more like the grin he gave Carlos when he first approached the scientist not two hours ago. It's a grin filled with too many teeth, too sharp to be human. It's only barely a grin at all. But would Carlos even notice that at this point? Kevin has his doubts. He notices the way Carlos no longer talks about returning to Night Vale, doesn't let that nervous chuckle or the "I guess" tacked onto the end of that sentence slip by. ]
You guess? Now that's a shame. I can't imagine living in a place I'm not entirely sure about, but I suppose it is easy to doubt a place that refuses to work properly.
[ That's a big conclusion to jump to and Kevin knows that, but things have progressed far enough already that there's no harm in it, right? Just a little nudge to help Carlos's mind get a little closer to the correct line of thought. ]
