Five whole seconds had passed and Ziggs' gleaming smile still lined the area across his face. Once the Expert's teeth showed it took quite some time for them to become hidden again; the following compliment only made it so much harder. His eyes concealed by his goggles were shut for a moment, opening briefly to see Teemo looking at something of his.
"...That thing? ...well, honestly, it's hard to remember when I even got it."
Ziggs' hand then moved towards the earring, fiddling with it and moving the ear it was attached to, toying with it.
"Only have it because I saw some other yordles with one, so...I tried piercing this one myself. ...Was uh...it wasn't THAT painful!" The embarrassed look hidden by his goggles and helmet indicated that, yes, it was more painful than he spoke for.

Teemo smirks, knowing that any sort of piercing was bound to be quite painful. He'd clipped his own ear once with a dart by accident, and it hadn't been fun. The thought makes him laugh, and without thinking he removes his glove and reaches up to gently touch the area around Ziggs' earring with his fuzzy hand.
"Yeah. Right. It probably was as painless as rolling onto an acid-tipped dart in your sleep, I bet. I guess if you only have it for aesthetic reasons, though, that's cool. Have to admit, it doesn't look half bad on you."

Before Ziggs knew it the ear was moving on its own again; or at least it seemed to be. Instead, Teemo's hand was the one moving it, toying with it and moving the earring a bit. Such a thing was nowhere near irritable for him, and in a way it felt new. Direct approaches seemed to be the Expert's way of choice to any situation, this one being no different.
He tried to laugh, but what came was instead a small whiny giggle, his toothy smile taking over his face again quite easily. Both ears flicked and swiveled about with his new-found discomfort, but this discomfort was somehow friendly; Ziggs couldn't speak through his own nervousness.

Teemo continued to smile, but it shrank a little when he noticed something peculiar about Ziggs. Sure, he's usually a bit odd, but today Ziggs seemed oddly... normal. The scout set his arm down on the armrest of his chair, looking curiously at his friend.
"You okay, Ziggs? You've been awfully quiet today, it seems. Something the matter?"
Post by hexplosiveexpert on Apr 30, 2013 23:49:13 GMT -5
The embarrassed little yordle continued his slight fiddling and shifting-opening his hidden eyes upon the Scout's interruption. There was nothing to be afraid of, and certainly no reason to be nervous; yet he was, completely! Almost immediately Ziggs' ears sprang up, alerted by what he heard as a negativity of the situation.
"Quiet? I'm not quiet, everything's fine! Everything's MORE than fine! Happy to be with a friend and all, havin' a BLAST-"
He stopped, looking around for a moment. Seemed such noise spewing from his wide mouth attracted a bit of attention from the others around, who also were waiting to view the movie; he even found himself standing on top of his seat. Ziggs sank back down into it, chuckling weakly and rubbing around one of his ears in embarrassment. Again. "Whoops...hehe."

Teemo stared at Ziggs' display, his smile growing so much that he covered it with a gloved hand and made a poor attempt at stifling a loud series of giggles. When he manages to calm down he clears his throat and looks back at Ziggs with a bright smile.
"That's good to know. Wouldn't want our 'Dean of Demolition' feeling down in a rut right now, right?"
To emphasize the casual mood he nudges his friend's arm with his elbow.

If it weren't for his more casual task at hand, the nudge against him would have been more alarming than anything. As a friend Teemo was nicer than most around the Institute; to the Dean, at least. Surprisingly, Ziggs hadn't jumped nor yelped as if a bomb exploded in his belly per usual.
"R-Right! ...Noooot too used to this kind of stuff. But it feels good!"
What he meant exactly by that he himself didn't know. But this kind of activity-explosion depravity or not-was highly unusual to him. His awkward, hidden expressions and nervousness were easy signs of that.

Teemo chuckles a little, though it's an uncertain one. He wasn't really certain what Ziggs had meant by his last comment. Perhaps if he kept up the cheerful facade, like he does all the time, things would clear up.

((Mkay. Going to try and keep up with things more often considering people should probably be mad at me by now, lol.))
The hexplosive yordle quickly sprang back into action, changing his nervous looks into happier and confident ones; the over-cheery toothy smile of his own filling his face again. This was more than enough to get his point across to anyone that he was as happy as can be. That, and a huge explosion that just begged to say "THIS IS MY CALLING!"
"Of course it is, buddy! I'm havin' a good time, you're having a good time-right?"
The question puzzled him knowing Teemo had to be at least a little confused by Ziggs' behavior. All around them people sat and conversed through commercials and previews, while the two yordles in the middle of it all felt as if no one else were around. The feeling was comfortable.

((Heh, yeah... preparing for college is starting to be more of a burden and I'm unable to post as often as well. ))
Teemo pauses, wondering for a moment if Ziggs really thought he wasn't enjoying himself. Now that wouldn't do.
"Yeah, I'm definitely enjoying myself right now. Getting to take a break and sit down for a movie with a good friend... it's nice to get away from the action once in a while. Couldn't think of anyone I'd rather be hanging out with right now."
He nods and smiles his usual smile, feeling calm and comfortable once again.
Post by hexplosiveexpert on May 18, 2013 11:08:56 GMT -5
Now did he really mean that? Not a single person, human, yordle, anyone-who he would rather 'hang out with'? Surely Teemo had plenty of friends or scouts to do things with, or at least a few of the other Yordle Champions were able to...perhaps not.
"Oh, well, I..."
He paused for a moment, cutting himself off from saying anything too embarrassing or that might cause worry. That was the last thing needed in a time like this.
"Me neither! A lot of us at the Institute are just 'work, work, work'. Not enough time for friends, apparently."
Post by The Swift Scout on May 18, 2013 18:40:17 GMT -5
It's true that Teemo doesn't have very many real friends, but he does still have a few. He just didn't care to think about any at the time. Right now all that matters is that he's having fun with a friend in need of some company.
"Yeah... I know I'm typically the guy that won't stop working, but I think it's making me lose sight of some of the other important things in life. It's like that old saying 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', huh?"
Post by hexplosiveexpert on Jun 2, 2013 17:29:27 GMT -5
"Of course! That's why when the fuses light up back at my place, it's work AND FUN!"
The wide, bright smile across his face was an easy indicator that this was something he was proud of. Not only did he manage to make one of his own dreams come true, but it's now something the world is interested in; the very thing Ziggs does for fun every day! ...But was it enough? Surely day to day exercises with hexplosive materials was enough to satisfy his insatiable appetite for bomb-soup.
"...Makes me glad you came along to hang out! Nowadays the League's been busier than ever, and the last place we should "hang out" is on the Fields, hehe."
Post by The Swift Scout on Jun 3, 2013 10:40:01 GMT -5
Teemo can't help but smile brightly at Ziggs' reaction, warmly putting an arm around his pal.
"Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying the company. And yeah... the Fields aren't exactly the friendliest of locations to meet up. This is much nicer and more casual. Oh, and I-"
At that moment the lights go down, and the advertisements on the screen fade away as the movie intro begins. The captain cuts himself off and looks to the screen, whispering to Ziggs.

"What? What's goin' o-Oh, it's staaartiiiing~!"
Ziggs's shoulders tingled a bit with the new embrace of Teemo's around him in a friendly manner; such things were, still, fairly different and "new", yet felt so very satisfying to have. The Expert had to stifle a few giggles of excitement and nervousness again, filled with energetic joy and explosive personality, yet he had to stay calm inside the theater.
Whispering to Teemo, he relaxed in his seat as best he could as the huge, overwhelming screen shone into his widening eyes, unprepared for such a thing even knowing what was coming.
"Oooooh...tell me whaaaa...?" His voice faded into a silenced state, merely amazed by the quality and sound of what he saw and heard.
