I know it will be.

[Because he has a sinking feeling of who, exactly, may be chosen to do the deed. He strokes over the other's back, reassuringly.]

We just have to remind ourselves that...the dead can be saved, potentially. No matter what happens, they're somewhere we could possibly reach. We have to live on that hope.

[ He soaks up that feeling of reassurance. ]

You're right... [ He plants a soft kiss on his neck. ]

I don't know if I could have made it through this without your support.

Hah. I could say the same to you.

[His fingers reach up to tickle the back of the other's neck.]

That's what partners are for each other, after all.

[ There's a small shiver that runs down his spine from that touch. ]

Yeah... [ His arms tighten on him. ] Is it selfish of me to ask you to stay with me tonight? I don't know... where. And I know we'll be together tomorrow, but...

It wouldn't be selfish if I asked the same thing of you, would it? So it isn't.

[He presses a kiss against his cheek.]

Somewhere. Anywhere. I don't care.

[ He lets out a soft sigh, comforted by that. ]

I don't care, either. I just want to be with you. I need it.

Let's try to figure out a place, then. I don't suppose we could stay in your room.

I probably shouldn't kick my roommate out again after Thursday. And I'm guessing your room isn't an option.

[He shakes his head.]

No, I don't think Mr. Akira would appreciate it, all that much. So...will we have to repeat what we did a week ago, then?

Probably. We can look for a place. I do want to stop by my room. Get my stuff.

[ To get all of his things. He's also going to neglect to mention what happened during the investigation. Now isn't the time for it. ]

Oh, of course. Whatever you need.

[<------has no idea what happened on investigation. ignorance is bliss]

[ He plants a soft kiss lightly on Sholmes' jaw. And yes, remain completely blissful until later. But he shifts, arm around Sholmes and starts to tug him toward the Housing area. They'll have to distance when they get closer, but for now... He walks with him. ]

...You know. Yuri thinks something bad happened between us.

[He's more than happy to walk along with him - Irene as a crow alights on the ground, shifts into a hare to hop alongside them.]

Hm? Mr. Lowell? [And a bright laugh.] I suppose what we did at the debate show was a little too effective, perhaps.

[ Finley looks over at Irene, shifting into her tiger form now again. ]

He also commented on us today. I guess we're hiding it well enough. I told him we were friends and then we had a fallout. I wasn't sure what else to say.

Ah, well, that's a suitable answer as any. Let him believe in that.

[And he leans in to kiss his cheek, once again.]

For now, we know what we are.

It's hard, but it's worth it to help keep you safe.

[ But speaking of, they are getting closer to the houses. ]

We should probably split here, if we're going to keep this up. Meet back up here?

Oh, yes.

[Now, a brief kiss to his lips, before pulling away.]

I'll meet you back here. See you soon.

[ He shares that quick kiss, reluctant to split. ]

Yeah.

[ And heading toward House 1, getting both his bags, also getting some food, and coming back to the meeting spot. ]

[He'll probably also go off to ensure he has all his things, before coming back.]

[When he sees the other, he draws close, smiling.]

Very well. Another search for us, then. Shall we begin?

[ He puts his arm around Sholmes' shoulder. ]

The sooner the better.

Then it shall be done.

[And he's putting his arm around his waist.]

Would you like me to carry anything for you?

[ He shakes his head. ]

I've got it. I'm relying on you to find our new place to rest.

Haha. Very well.

[me just handwaving here like THEY FOUND A PLACE here they go]

[He's raising his hands to clap in delight, except...ah. Still a stump.]

Well, here we are! Home sweet home. For now.

[ He sets down the bags and immediately goes in for a kiss. Stumpy, though. Please fix yourself. ]

Not a bad place at all.

[HE IS TRYING!!!!! HE HAS TO DO STUFF]

No, not at all. [And kissing him back, happily.] I suppose its better than the one we had a week ago, too.
