[He's more than happy to let Kotetsu in, deepening the kiss on his end, too.]

This is his rest. This is his safe place where he can relax. He doesn't want this taken from either of them, but that is a thought that looms.

In response to his name, he responds with Sholmes' name, his tongue slipping out to brush over Sholmes' lips.
Finley gently purrs below them while giving Irene attention. ]
