[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 rubs at his face, smiling at the kiss. ]

Oh. Yeah. I really like - it felt like a long time for a second there.

[neonleon]

You probably needed it. Been a long few days for you.

[He spent most of it resting in bed himself. So, long but in a different way than Hunter.]

C'mon, let's get moving.

[pyrighteous]

Right.

[ He stretches a bit and get out of bed. ]

Do you need help with your clothes?

[neonleon]

Um. Maybe?

[Probably. It'd be a lot easier. He huffs a little, slouching.]

I do. It's gonna take some getting used to.

[pyrighteous]

Course. I don't mind.

[ He moves to go get Leo a set from the dresser. ]

You can help with breakfast after.

[neonleon]

[And it's clear he isn't quite used to it yet; who would be this soon? He still reaches and moves to grab something with his right arm only to get confused for a second and realize a moment later. A lot of getting used to.]

That sounds like a great plan. Love helping with breakfast. [Because it means he can sneak bites while he cooks.]

[pyrighteous]

[ LOOK. look. this is his prerogative. Anyway, Hunter moves to help Leo get his stuff on. ]

We'll need a decent one before we go. It's kind of hard taking food with us.

[neonleon]

Then that I can do. [Holding still for him! He likes being this close.] I'll make sure we don't starve.

[pyrighteous]

[ Pretty intimate having your boyfriend dress you, huh. Hunter realizes after a moment and slowly gets pinker. ]

Thanks, um. Not starving is important!

[neonleon]

[It really is. And Hunter is still adorable, no matter what.]

Agreed. So I'll, uh. Anything down there is fair game to cook with?

[pyrighteous]

Oh yeah. Dell doesn’t mind me cooking. Or trying to, anyway.

[neonleon]

Cool, I'll take care of breakfast, then.

[Quick, while Hunter's still close - he'll hold Hunter's chin gently to kiss him.]

[pyrighteous]

[ oh. GOSH. Hunter goes bright red and smiles into the kiss? He reaches to cup the back of Leo’s head with his hand and kiss back a little more. ]

[neonleon]

[Oh. Yeah, definitely okay. He smiles into that kiss leaning into it a bit on his side before barely breaking away to get his breath.]

Is this allowed?

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter laughs a bit. ]

We're engaged. Of course it's allowed. As long as you're not hurting yourself?

[neonleon]

[He hasn't gotten to spend one single, normal night with his fiance. Maybe tonight. Maybe maybe. He smiles a little more at that.]

Then I'm gonna hold you to that when we get back tonight.

[pyrighteous]

[ MAYBE maybe. Isn't that a nice thought.

Hunter leans against him, arms looped lightly around his waist. ]

Good. We'll have a nice quiet day and a nice quiet evening then.

[neonleon]

[That sounds amazing. This feels amazing, Hunter holding him close like this.]

I think we've got a whole day planned, then.

[pyrighteous]

Well. Almost. You have to make breakfast first.

[neonleon]

And that's step one.

[He leans down for one more kiss! Before Leo pulls away to go do just that now that he's dressed.] Lucky, come on.

[The little pine marten blinks up at him sleepily before yawning and stretching then following after.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter meanwhile lingers behind to get their backpacks ready for the day. he has specific tools for the graveyard so...

He wanders down a few minutes later to sit at the table and see what Leo's cooking. ]

[neonleon]

[By the time Hunter comes down, he's got a few things done - what equates to toast, eggs, bacon. He didn't want to dare try for anything he had to carefully mix and while the food isn't pretty, it's still good.

Eating and finishing up, cleaning up. All things he can do here, and when they're done, he looks at the bags.]

Ready to head out?

[pyrighteous]

[ It sure SMELLS good. And Hunter gladly devours it all. Seems like "not pretty" is just standard for food here anyway.

He grabs a couple of the palisman breads for lunch later today and hefts the bags. ]

Uh huh. It's a short walk, at least. We won't be flying today.

[neonleon]

Walking's good. Can totally do walking.

[But he'll reach for one of the bags at least to help as Lucky climbs on and finds his perch on Leo's shoulder. It's been a day. It's already his.]

I'll follow you.

[pyrighteous]

Great. Come on, then. It's this way.

[ Hunter trudges off into the woods seemingly at random? There's a faint path that he's following, but nothing that looks super official. Thankfully, it's also a beautiful morning. Crisp and clear, with sunlight filtering through the trees. ]
