this boy's hair is so mystifying

[ boy he really is being sappy huh. unfortunate how it makes laurence's heart kind of flutter. ]

I know. I trust you with pretty much everything already.

[clockpunk]

[ yeah. he hits a point of exhaustion before actually being sleepy that just makes him kind of like this. he'll angle his head to press a little kiss to laurence's jaw. ]

What d'you wanna do most when everyone's back?

[outdistanced]

[ cute... that makes him smile. ]

Man, I have no idea. A bunch of them asked me to show them the new places, but... maybe it'd be nice to have one of those parties with everyone again, too?

[clockpunk]

[ loud...

but he nods. it does sound nice, to just have a celebration, once things were a little more figured out perhaps. ]

Maybe somewhere like the park or the garden. Or Italy.

[outdistanced]

You can take a break if you need to.

[ "just leave" is always an option. ]

Italy's so big I'd just have to hope no one gets lost there. But it might be nice, if we even have time for it. Still gotta find Ariel.

[clockpunk]

[ ah. that one got shared, huh. he just hums vaguely in agreement. ]

So we find her, kick this formless bastard's ass, have a party. That sounds good to me.

[outdistanced]

[ he snorts a laugh. ]

One last party for the road, without everything else hanging over our heads.

[ except goodbyes, he supposes. ]

[clockpunk]

[ hehe. smiles and gives him a light squeeze ]

Seems like the right kind of thing to do, doesn't it? A high note.

[outdistanced]

[ squeezes back! ]

After all the shit this place has put us through? I think we deserve it.

[clockpunk]

Least they could do. Again.

[ stupid god. ]

...you comfy? This kind of worked out, huh?

[outdistanced]

And you won't even have to fight them.

[ as much as some of you wanted to!! but he nods and shifts a little, just loosening his hold a touch. ]

I'm fine, yeah. Might as well make the most of it before Yves is back to find new ways to terrorize me, anyway.

[clockpunk]

Might still want to, though.

[ never off the table!! ]

...you missed him a lot, huh?

[outdistanced]

I think you just want something to fight now.

[ teasing. ]

...Yeah. I got used to him being here, after so long. It's weird that he's not.

[clockpunk]

Maybe. Two months without Vanguard means I haven't had an outlet.

[ only half-joking... god he wants to play a card game at least though

he hums, a gentle sound of understanding. ]

He'll be happy to see you, too.

[outdistanced]

You could've just taught someone else how to play.

Of course he will be. He doesn't know how to be anything else.

[clockpunk]

Only got one deck. Doesn't really work to split it in half or anything, unfortunately.

[ he wishes another one would've come with him, but... ]

Hmm. Still. [ ... ] Little mad I didn't bring this up earlier, though.

[outdistanced]

And they don't just have ones you can order, do they.

[ things come out of am*zon so weird sometimes he'd be surprised if there was anything remotely close. ]

So why didn't you?

[clockpunk]

[ kind of. pauses. ]

I didn't even check Am*zon. [ local lgs worker forgets "support your lgs" doesn't need to apply to heaven with no lgs. ] Everything got so busy I didn't consider it.

[ egh. the question makes him shift, a little sheepishly. ]

...overthinking.

[outdistanced]

Can't blame you for that... Especially these past few weeks.

[ why did everyone go so insane

...that makes him laugh. ]

Man, you've really got to stop doing that.
