There were a lot of things that came up at out meeting today. I felt they also deserved to know.

[ He's really tense and this. He wants to reach out to Sholmes, but he also is afraid of getting swatted away. ]

I needed to know if they had any ideas. What they thought...

Sholmes, I'm sorry.

[greatdeduction]

[...]

What did they say? How much did you tell?

[sponsoredby]

I told them that I could break the barrier, that the Temporals are all fed up, that I didn't know what additional risks would be involved.

That I'd be putting myself, the Watchers and my role at risk. I also told them my role could be reassigned.

They still don't know about my knife.

[ Also, despite wanting to go to Irene for comfort, Finley curls up behind Kotetsu on the ground. ]

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[....]

And what did they say, to that plan?

[ He hates this so much. ]

There are mixed feelings. Some talk was made about it. Some are against it, some are considering it as an option.

[greatdeduction]

And the Watchers? I do hope you talked to them first.

You know I already talked to half of them. I'm waiting to hear back from the other side. I told everyone that part, too. If the Celestials are against it, this whole plan shuts down anyway.

[He just....lets out a sigh.]

Next time, please at least let me know before you bring up such things, yes?

[sponsoredby]

...Yeah. Of course.

[ He still keeps his distance, Finley still curled close to him. The two of them really haven't had this kind of conflict before, so he's not certain how to approach any of it. ]

[greatdeduction]

[A pause, before he reaches out to take his hand with his metal one. The watch is still there. Of course it is.]

I meant..."bring up such things with others", you know.

[A pause.]

Kotetsu. Please look at me.

[ He looks down at their hands and then lifts his head to look at Sholmes. He doesn't say anything, though, when he looks at him. ]

[greatdeduction]

Of course, I am not especially happy you mentioned it to the rest without letting me know of it. But at the same time, I understand we are in difficult times. We are running out of time. And we are grasping for straws, in the darkness. I do not blame you for wanting to do your best to help others.

[He lifts the man's hand to his lips to kiss the back of it.]

Overall...please. Rest your fears. I am not upset. All I want is to make sure you are not put in danger...unless its absolutely necessary. I will not be your cage, Kotetsu. And you can do things here I could never do. I understand that. All I ask is for you to be considerate, as you go along. Your life is important, you know. To you, and...to me, too. You know that.

[ The tension slowly releases from his shoulders and he closes the distant between them to rest his forehead on Sholmes' shoulder. ]

I know. And I mentioned that. I made all of them swear they would tell absolutely no one outside of the room. Not a single helper.

But I also told them I don't want to throw myself in harm's way, despite what anyone thinks. I still have my promise... but I also know if I can't fix what's going on... that promise won't mean anything when everything's destroyed.

[greatdeduction]

Of course, I understand. That's the rub, isn't it? That if everything can be destroyed in an instant...then there's no use holding onto something like that.

[He shifts his head to kiss him on the forehead gently.]

But let us consider that a method of last resort. We still can figure this out. We'll do our best to.

All of the roles are trying hard...

[ He sounds a little exhausted at that and sighs. ]

I was so excited to see this new place when I woke up... and then everything happened with that meeting. I wanted to ask if you wanted to stay with me this week, too...

[greatdeduction]

I could stay with you this week?

[SORRY, INSTANTLY LEAPING TO THAT, FIRST]

[sponsoredby]

[ Of course he is. ]

Yeah, my roommate left.

[greatdeduction]

Who was your roommate?

[WHO WOULD LEAVE KOTETSU (its kdj)]

[sponsoredby]

Kim Dokja. He left his room last week, too.

[greatdeduction]

Oh. For Mr. Joonghyuk, I see...

[Hmm. UNDERSTANDABLE. Gay pass.]

[sponsoredby]

[ The understanding. ]

So... Would you like to move in with me for the week?

[ Why does this sound like a marriage proposal?

Btw, when they got close to each other before, Finley crawled over to her girlfriend. ]

[greatdeduction]

...Yes. I'd love to.

[WHY *DOES* THIS SOUND LIKE A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL]

[Irene is more than happy to reach a paw up to bap at the head of her girlfriend, playfully.]

[sponsoredby]

I look forward to waking up to your face each day.

[ Doesn't that actually happen a decent amount with them? Shhh. It's different when it's just the two of them alone in their own space for an entire week.

Finley nuzzles at Irene, maybe a little sulky. Why didn't you come over and comfort me earlier, dear? ]

[greatdeduction]

Taking the words out of my mouth, my dear.

[This is very gay. Love this for them.]

[And Irene just paps Finley again. Because the stinky old man was thinking about what he was hearing, that's why.]

[sponsoredby]

Should we move your stuff now or later?

[ Honestly, they deserve this.

Dumb old man. Finley relaxes to cuddle girlfriend lovingly. ]
