[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 -

[ 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.

[neonleon]

[It's weird, feeling something off under the bandage as he holds his wrist. But the pain subsides and he massages the appendage.]

Y-yeah... I, um. I think I will? Go do that. I- sorry.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter eyes his hand for a moment, uncertain... ]

Does it hurt? Maybe we could get you some ice.

[neonleon]

[He's looking at his hand too.]

Might not be a bad idea. It did hurt for a second. I can take some up with me.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah um - one second.

[ 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?

[neonleon]

[He watches that, glances around at the tree as it responds to his magic before looking back at his wrist. He takes the bundle as Hunter presses it to his wrist and smiles a little, mostly tired.]

That works. I'll take it upstairs and keep it iced for a while.

[He leans in to kiss Hunter's cheek.] Thanks, Hunts.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter goes rather red. ]

O-of course! I just want you to feel better.

[neonleon]

I know I will, you're here helping. Hard to not feel better when it's you.

[pyrighteous]

Extra better then. All the way better.

[ he leans down to kiss Leo's hand gently. ]

[neonleon]

[That's so cute and sweet wtf. Hunter you can't just DO that to him, even if the skin under the bandage feels like it... shifts? Probably just lack of sleep, imagining things because he isn't used to having his whole hand wrapped this long.]

Soon as I'm better, I'll cook you guys the best food. But I'll go on ahead upstairs.

[pyrighteous]

[ HUH. weird. but all arms twitch weirdly when they heal right?? ]

Sounds like a plan, Leo.

[neonleon]

[Obviously.]

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.]

[pyrighteous]

[ cheek kiss!! Hunter watches him go upstairs, TOTALLY doki doki about it.

and then he goes back to Dell to do evening chores, still swooning gently. ]
