[After enjoying a nice plate of crab bisque, Sholmes is just standing, waiting for Kotetsu. He's just puffing away, Irene in hare form lounging on his shoulder.]

[Honestly...all's well that ends well.]

[ While he stopped there to chat, he might have just missed Sholmes. Oops! Passing ships in the night. But they finally find each other after he's done with all his things. Sholmes can probably sense him before he can see him. Relief, warmth, calmness. ]

Hope I haven't left you waiting too long.

[Even though they literally just saw each other, Sholmes reacts with his emotions as a labrador retriever would after his owner comes home - a little excited happiness, warmth. He smiles, walking up.]

Well. Someone is feeling a lot better, hm?

[ Two dumb dogs in love. It's cute. He smiles warmly in return. So many fuzzy feelings from what he feels off of Sholmes.

Finley is, of course, peering up at Irene, don't make her jump up there for hare girlfriend, 'cause she will. ]

Things weren't looking too good there for a while... But it worked out. It could have been a lot worse.

[Sholmes will see Finley peering up and happily take Irene to put her down on the ground - she instantly goes to nudge her head against the other.]

Yes. And not without your help, I may add! I saw what you accomplished with Kaeya! Well done, my dear fellow, well done!

[ Finley is Happy. And nudges back just as affectionately. ]

Sorry I worried you at first. I had to start acting fast.

I also dispelled whatever was put on Rochalizo. I wanted to save it in case something happened to one of us, but I couldn't when I saw him give up. And what it did to Kaeya. I'm glad people were willing to work together to help.

[ He seems absolutely GIDDY from the praise off of Sholmes. ]

It was a smart move. Even if Mr. Lowell was...quite adamant for action to be taken.

[He feels like the man may have pushed his hand...]

But regardless, I am pleased. [And he's grinning at the giddiness.] It is a good day. Shall we enjoy it before the next world?

[He's offering his arm, like a gentleman.]

I used it before he even said anything. I'm not planning to spread the news, but if they do coin checks again, they'll know I used it on something.

[ It could be. But who knows? ]

It is. We can enjoy it comfortably.

[ He'll take that arm because that's actually really cute. ]

I see. I would hope you make decisions on your own terms, my dear. It would be untoward, otherwise.

[And now, he's just happy to go along down the streets with Kotetsu in hand.]

Have you decided on the next world?

I listened to my instincts.

[ "Let's be discreet" they say as they're arm and arm walking around together. Okay, my dudes. But no, Kotetsu is really content with this, walking close to him.

Finley is also offering Irene a ride on her back. ]

Yeah. I'm not sure about my choice, but I didn't really like the feeling of the other two.

And as we've seen, they steered you correctly.

[Yeah? It's fine! Bros can walk hand in hand! Also Irene will happilly climb on. Big girlfriend...]

I see. Well, we'll just have to open our eyes and take whatever it is, in. I do hope it will be as nice as this one, for the most part.

[ He nods at that, feeling warm from all this praise. Goober... But true. All the hand holding.

And hey, at least Finley has a small form. Unfortunate she can't hold it out in public, but great for cuddles when they're somewhere private. But carrying her girlfriend proudly now. ]

Something about it felt... easy to break. But the other two...

[ He shakes his head and sighs. ]

It's not like I don't want to help all the worlds. I'm just worried what could happen.

[He hums, patting the other's arm lightly as they walk along.]

Of course. That's understandable.

[And a pause.]

Do you feel this next one could be dangerous?

[ He shakes his head in response. ]

It's hard to say. Neither of the choices so far felt dangerous, but something's happened despite that. I think this one might be more busy?

[ It's all really hard with vague feelings! ]

"Something's happened"...?

[what does THAT mean.]

Oh! Maybe it will be a grand city, this time. Larger than this one.

People keep disappearing and getting hurt, right?

[ That's what he means. ]

Maybe. I wonder if there will be any worlds with certain technology again. I wouldn't mind another movie night with you.

[ He grins a bit at the idea of that. It would be fun relaxing on a date night again. ]

That is true...but I wonder if it doesn't matter about which world you choose. It may happen, regardless.

[And a smile at that, lighting up.]

Oh! I wouldn't mind that, either. It was quite fun!

[NETFLIX AND CHILL]

You might be right.

[ Best not to stress about it. Be prepared, but take it as they go. ]

It would be. [ Cheeky little grin. ] You know...

[ He doesn't actually finish that sentence, trailing off. But there's a little... devious... feeling...? ]

...You know? Yes...?

[Curious about the devious feeling....?]

[ He's going to look around a little, leaning to give Sholmes a quick kiss, whispering against his lips. ]

Maybe we should take advantage of this bond, just in case it leaves with this world.

[ Kotetsu, please... ]

[A nice kiss. But he's still a little confused, because unfortunately, he is an idiot.]

The bond...? I suppose we can, but how...?

[YOU HAVE BRAIN CELLS, USE THEM]

[ Well. He adores this idiot, so it's fine. But he's going to just lean and lightly nip at Sholmes' ear, then whispering. ]

I could think of a few ways.

[ Let's see if he can figure out 2+2=? ]

Ah, Kotetsu...

[Wait.]

[Wait a second.]

[Brain processing...]

[A healthy sort of blush moves into his cheeks.]

Oh. You mean.......oh.

[ There's a low, throaty laugh at his reaction. ]

Yeah. But if you'd rather just wander around instead, we could do that.

[ Honestly, he just enjoys his time with Sholmes no matter how it's spent. ]

[Sir don't laugh like that, it's hot. Extremely unfair.]

Nothing says we can't do both. Just...we would need to decide the order...
