[ Yeah, he's being good not to touch the injury. Left sided injury buddies, hell yeah!

The girls are Happy. Nothing else matters. ]

Maybe we can think of something together. Since I'm not sure "thank you" is enough in this case.

[greatdeduction]

[lesbian souls for endgame]

Yes, I agree. Maybe something special for him to have? [Hmm.] For him and Kaeya, perhaps. The other man has also been kind to you and I.

[ the true ship here. ]

You're right... Something special for both of them would be nice for them.

[ insert rameel trip 2.0 (no) ]

The problem is, I'm not sure what they'd like...

[greatdeduction]

...Perhaps something sentimental? Something with ice and fire...

[Me like about to have him suggest a snowglobe but then I remembered he was Victorian.]

[ Oh, that's unfortunate. Though, there's probably one in the giftshop, tbqh. Imagine Sholmes standing there for twenty minutes shaking it. Alas, Kotetsu is thinking something else. ]

Maybe... matching pendants or charms?

[greatdeduction]

I did see Mr. Kaeya has a bracelet...hm. Pendants or brooches may work...

[He isn't sure if Diluc has a bracelet too. And sadly he. Would shake the snowglobe. Hate that.]

Something easy enough to wear for both of them.

[ It could work, regardless. They could get him something. And yeah, enjoy snowglobe Sholmes. ]

[greatdeduction]

We'll check the store, and see what turns up. I do think it would be a nice gesture.

[The gay dads support the genshins!!]

If we don't see anything there, we can always as a Watcher for some help.

[ They do and it's cute. And now that they have that pretty much settled... ]

...Hey, Sholmes. Tell me something about you or your world you haven't told me yet.

[greatdeduction]

Hm?

[And he's smiling.]

Let me make a guess. Your leg? [And...hmmmm.] Well! We just had the Great Exhibition in London. A grand fair, where scientists and innovators the world over gathered to show off their new inventions and creations! A most exciting affair. Unfortunately, it was marred by a terrible murder, but...for what it was, it was a brilliant thing.

[ A smart man. He smiles about that. ]

Sounds like it would have been a very amazing event. Unfortunate that the other part had to happen.

[greatdeduction]

Yes...

[He frowns, somber.]

The whole matter did turn out to have been embroiled in a grand conspiracy at the government level, so...it had its hidden blessings, despite the morbid affair.

[ He gently squeezes Sholmes' shoulder. ]

A silver lining... It's crappy it had to happen then, though.

[greatdeduction]

Yes...

[And a huff.]

But regardless! It was a grand event. [A pause.] Do you think that will help with your task?

[ He gives a very warm smile. ]

It'll be perfect. Thank you.

[ Luckily that chat did fill up their time that they're fast approaching their destination: the sauna. ]

[greatdeduction]

I'm glad I can help.

[A kiss to his cheek.]

Have you been to one of these before?

[sponsoredby]

A number of times. I take it this is going to be a new experience for you?

[ From how Sholmes phrased that, he's guessing maybe. ]

[greatdeduction]

Yes, indeed! I have heard of these, but never had the chance to try one myself.

I will follow your lead. I do believe it is just sitting in the room and letting yourself sweat, yes?

We need to get out of some of these layers first.

[ He's tugging him into the nearby locker rooms so that they can get stripped down properly. ]

That's the plan, though.

[ And when they're in the locker room, he moves to sit on one of the ice benches, motioning Sholmes over. ]

[greatdeduction]

[He'll move to sit next to the man on the bench after looking over everything. He is excited.]

Shall I help you?

[ He rests the crutch next to him and leans, careful to avoid the shoulder wound, to give Sholmes a kiss. Then murmurs against his lips. ]

I'd be a lucky man if you did.

[greatdeduction]

Hmm. You are.

[He smirks into that kiss, hands moving to the buttons on the other's shirt.]

What should I avoid, today? As far as...touching you.

[sponsoredby]

Bruising on my left arm and leg. [ Good thing half the leg is gone, right? ] Other than that, I'm fine. How about you?

[ He lightly nibbles on Sholmes' lip, his own hands slipping to try to help out with getting Sholmes stripped down, as well. With how they had to be so careful yesterday, he's eager now today. ]

[greatdeduction]

Left shoulder, where I got shot on that adventure. Nothing else.

[He also is eager. The man's touch is intoxicating, after all, and he's quickly unbuttoning the vest, then the shirt underneath.]

Hm. [A light huff.] I really did miss this.

[sponsoredby]

Then we'll both be careful of the left.

[ He lightly nods, nose rubbing against Sholmes' as he works. ]

Same... It was hard not to hold you.
