[You know?

That weird temple wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. Not by far now that he's back in this dimension. He floats a bit aimlessly, body broken, shell cracked and falling apart, some bones and insides shattered. His head aches in a way that he can't think.

All he can really do is hope Prime doesn't find him immediately right now. The light off his ring catches his eye and he looks at it, not fully registering that it's lit up.

A promise.]

Hunter?

[pyrighteous]

Please look me in the eye and tell me you will DEFINITELY rest first.

[neonleon]

[Just. Lookkkkkkkks at Hunter, like he's considering. Before sighing a little. He looks Hunter in the eye seriously.]

I promise I'll wait until I'm more rested before doing anything.

[pyrighteous]

[ a soft sigh. but a smile. ]

That's good enough.

[neonleon]

Okay, but in return, that Darius guy has to wait until I'm more rested to try and give me the talk.

[pyrighteous]

Oh - um - I'll - definitely ask him to give you a break.

[ he won't listen, ]

[neonleon]

[Darius definitely will not. Gotta go while he's vulnerable. But Leo at least looks relieved.]

Thanks, Hunts.

[pyrighteous]

'course. We're um -

[ he squeezes Leo's hand. ]

We're engaged, remember?

[neonleon]

[Oh his whole face heats up at that, smiling at Hunter.]

Yeah, we are. We are.

[pyrighteous]

Aaand Darius is probably going to say something to you about THAT too but.

I'm really glad.

[neonleon]

I imagine my family's gonna say something too, so. Head's up on that.

[pyrighteous]

-- wh-what kinds of things? The same kinds?

[neonleon]

Probably? I know Pops'll just wanna talk to you since he hasn't met you, but don't worry. He'll love you.

[pyrighteous]

O-oh. Good. I mean - I hope so. At least I told Darius all about how amazing you were so he's prepared!!

[neonleon]

[Prepared to demolish Leo, for sure.]

It'll be fine. Promise.

[pyrighteous]

... Okay. Good. I - I'm glad.

[ hand squeeze!! ]

Do you want more soup? Or anything else?

[neonleon]

[Squeezes that hand RIGHT back.]

I'm- good for now, yeah. Just glad for the company.

[pyrighteous]

Company I can do! I'm great at company.

[neonleon]

You're the best at company.

[pyrighteous]

You're biased, but that's okay.

[neonleon]

I think I'm allowed to be. [Kinda leaning toward him, over the edge of the bed.]

[pyrighteous]

Yeah?

[ He leans in closer too. Kiss?? ]

[neonleon]

If you keep letting me do this? Yeah.

[Kiss! Even if he's kinda half-falling out of the bed for it.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter will lean over enough to make it easier at least. Gentle, cautious. ]

Any time you want.

[neonleon]

[He ends up just thumbing along one of the scar lines on Hunter's cheek, lingering there.]

You better be careful or I'll take advantage of that.

"Advantage of what?"

[Darius leans against the door simply watching for the moment as Leo freezes.]
