Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, I'm good. I'll be better after you're cleaned up and fed, but... least we're out of there, right?

[Running his hand along her side, very gentle - mindful to avoid any injuries]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[A shiver nonetheless, though she doesn't seem particularly put out by it, definitely less mindful of the contact than he is]

Yeah.

All the dead time... Getting to look after you was good.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... getting to hang out together in between wasn't bad.

Lounge was pretty nice, even.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Might be cool to have a place like that, just to have. Hang out, play pool, drink fancy drinks in leather chairs...

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Wouldn't be bad, yeah.

...man, HSS aesthetic'd make it real weird, though.

[That's about when the bird returns with a bag of supplies, though; he reaches out to take it]

Thanks, dude.

[And just like that, the bird is gone]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Keeps leaning on him, sorry,]

What if it was in some kinda underwater spy base?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, yeah. I bet we could totally get away with it that way.

[Digging into the bag to retrieve whatever kind of conbini sports drink might have been in the Avante fridge from the bag and handing it over to her. He gets the plastic wrap out, too, and the first aid tape]

Guess I know what my next upgrade is, huh?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Really building your own dorm within a dorm, there...

[She takes the VolleyAde VitaDrink and forces herself to crack it open rather than just listen to him rustle through the findings.]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He doesn't seem in a hurry to make her move - reaches around to cover the butterfly stitches that he can reach from here, just as gentle as before]

Why not, right?

Takes so long to get stuff for the whole city, and then there's no saying what'll get voted in.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Stays put and lets him]

...Means you don't got a horse in your room 'less you want one.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... legit. Horse in your room sounds like it'd be a pain.

[Finishes up her side - hesitates]

Think you're gonna have to scoot a little for me to reach the other one.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Okay, okay...

[She straightens a bit, so he can move]

...Amaranth's got a horse.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Covering the other one, as well]

What, like - inside?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Squirms a bit but lets him finish]

In the dog park. Lady loves her.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, they play or something?

[Finishes up, just as gentle]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. Griff, too, but Lady's totally obsessed. I dunno if the horse even knows he's alive... It's funny.

If you ever wanna see a horse, I can take you. Now that I ain't leaking, I guess.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Some other day'd be cool.

Kinda wanna take it easy tonight, though, if that's cool.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Real cool.

[She reaches out, a bit ginger, for his hand]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Takes it and gives it a squeeze, gentle; his smile is just as soft]

...c'mon. Let's get you in the tub.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

If you're still up for it. If you wanna something else, that's fine.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, and waste all this plastic wrap? You ain't getting away that easy.

[He gives her hand another squeeze - stands, and reaches out his other hand to her, so he can help her up with both]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She takes both and eases to her feet; leans in to press her forehead against his]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He gets an arm around her, to steady her - just rests like that, for a beat or two, assuring himself that she's here, and she's safe, and she's (mostly) intact]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Her arm goes to his waist, to keep steady or just to feel the solid weight of him. She shakes in a breath, fingers curling into his shirt]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He doesn't actually seem in a hurry to go anywhere, if she isn't - though after a beat, he remembers to grope blindly toward the tub and turn the water on, to fill up while she rests against him]
