[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.]

Yeah, we got real good at that.
[Dell just... keeps smiling at them. He's so glad.]
no subject
Are you done eating?
no subject
Uh. Yeah, I can help with that. [Already moving to pick up his dishes.]
no subject
[ he gets up to pick up the pot and put it away for later. ]
no subject
...This is really okay? Staying here?
no subject
Of course it is. This is my home, and Dell likes you already. I can tell.
no subject
[He hopes all of Hunter's family likes him.] I'll stay out of the way until you guys need me.
["Rest". Even as he loses his grip in his bad hand, dropping a cup, reaching to grip at his bandaged wrist from the pain that spasmed through it.]
Sorry-

[ Hunter swoops down to catch it an instant before it hits the floor. ]
I-it's okay. You're not in the way. But you should still rest, Leo.
no subject
Y-yeah... I, um. I think I will? Go do that. I- sorry.
no subject
Does it hurt? Maybe we could get you some ice.
no subject
Might not be a bad idea. It did hurt for a second. I can take some up with me.
no subject
[ he draws a circle in the air - there's a corresponding crackle of energy from the tree - and then a small ice chunk appears. Hunter wraps it in a damp cloth and presses it against Leo's wrist. ]
How's that?
no subject
That works. I'll take it upstairs and keep it iced for a while.
[He leans in to kiss Hunter's cheek.] Thanks, Hunts.
no subject
O-of course! I just want you to feel better.
no subject
no subject
[ he leans down to kiss Leo's hand gently. ]
no subject
Soon as I'm better, I'll cook you guys the best food. But I'll go on ahead upstairs.
no subject
Sounds like a plan, Leo.
no subject
I'll see you later?
[One more kiss on the cheek for the road before Leo makes his way upstairs. He's gonna nap SO.......... badly.]
no subject
and then he goes back to Dell to do evening chores, still swooning gently. ]
