[ as badly as riddle wants to take the bait, he knows indulging in a spot of silly arguing is almost guaranteed to lead into more than he can manage at this hour. unlike the merman with his more robust constitution, riddle is delicate even by human standards-- not to mention prone to crankiness at the slightest inconvenience. he truly doesn't want to risk going without an appropriate amount of sleep.
with a good-natured chuckle, followed by a huff, riddle drapes his arms around those broad shoulders before relaxing against the softness of his bed. ]
Goodnight, you silly boy. Mm... I love you...
[ the night passes in the blink of an eye, and just like clockwork, riddle is up with the flamingos. their calls range from content to excited, a sign that their assigned caretaker is doing his duty. riddle considers this a good omen.
by the time he thinks he hears floyd calling out for him, he's in the bathroom, the other boy's voice muffled by his blowdryer. ]
FLOYD? ARE YOU AWAKE? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?
[ the little goldfish shrieks. sure, he could have just turned off the blowdryer, but he's almost done! better to save time by checking on floyd while finishing up, right? nevermind the fact if floyd wasn't actually awake, he sure as shit is now... ]
