[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.]

[Oh. Leo smiles a little and carefully holds the bouquet in his right hand to hold out his left for Hunter.]

Then I accept them.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter beams at that. Takes Leo's hand? And kisses it. ]

Th-then - then it's official! Doubly official.

[neonleon]

[He squeezes Hunter's hand gently at that.]

Double dating. You're suuuuuper stick with me now.

[pyrighteous]

That's - that's the idea. Yeah.

[neonleon]

Good.

[He lifts Hunter's hand to kiss himself.]

Because I'm gonna court you so hard.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah? Gonna make everyone jealous?

[neonleon]

Is that not my greatest skill in life? To do everything so good I make everyone jealous? They're gonna be so jealous of you.

[pyrighteous]

... It IS kind of a charm point. Yeah.

[neonleon]

We'll be unstoppable. Best courting couple in town.

[Sorry Willow.]

[pyrighteous]

[ SORRY WILLOW ... Hunter at this point has not fully realized she has a crush on him so that might get awkward later. ]

R. Right! You're gonna convince Darius SO fast.

[neonleon]

Right, exactly.

[Totally forgot for a second he has to convince Darius he's totally the best here.]

And anyone else that has doubts!

[pyrighteous]

It’s mostly Darius. He just worries about me, you know?

[neonleon]

[His smile softens a bit watching Hunter, squeezing his hand again.]

Hey. I'm glad you have someone who worries about you like that. That Darius guy. And Ori. And Viktor. And the rest of Mouse, and Donnie, and Raph, and I could go on.

[pyrighteous]

Y. Yeah. I’ve got so many people now…

[neonleon]

You do. You deserve all of that and more, Hunts, you're worth all the worry.

[pyrighteous]

W-well - I want to make them worry less!!

And he will, he just - he needs to see that I make good decisions now. That I've learned how to trust good people like you.

[neonleon]

[Leo smiles a little more.]

I'll do what I can to help that, then. He'll see it.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. He definitely will.

You should get more rest for now though.

[neonleon]

I'm resting plenty.

[Just gonna start carefully laying back against the pillow pile again.]

[pyrighteous]

I know. But you still need more, Leo. As much as you can get.

[neonleon]

[He hates making Hunter worryyyyyyyyyy hhhh]

...How long're you gonna be here?

[pyrighteous]

The whole time!

... With, uh. The occasional break. There's a lot of stuff within walking distance.

[neonleon]

Right.

[A beat.]

Cool. Cause. This is super cool but...

[He wants someone familiar.]

[pyrighteous]

... You're in a totally different world. Yeah.

The Boiling Isles can be a LOT.

[neonleon]

Probably. And kinda. Stuck in one room...

[He's glad Hunter's here.]
