[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.]

If - if we find your family, they'd have a place here, of course. They'd be normal in the Boiling Isles.

[ Hunter reaches out a hand for Leo's arm. ]

Or I could hide myself. My ears aren't so bad.

[neonleon]

[That'd be easier, wouldn't it? If they just picked one place.

(Nothing is supposed to be easy, if it's easy then it's a trap and there's some loop-de-loop twist they haven't seen yet to make the game harder-)

He moves to cling a little tighter.]

I don't want you to have to hide. Let's see if my family's even there first.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter nods, then, and leans against him. ]

R-right. That part first. Everything else depends on that. No point staying in New York without them.

[neonleon]

Exactly.

So. That'll be step one. Get there, see who's there.

[pyrighteous]

... we'll find them, Leo. One way or another. I promise, okay?

[neonleon]

[He takes a slow breath and lets it out against Hunter's hair. Happy to just hold him for now as they lay here.]

I know. We will. Hope's my greatest weapon.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah? I thought your swords were.

[neonleon]

My swords and quick wit are second greatest.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter laughs. ]

What about your dashing good looks?

[neonleon]

That was never in question, third greatest.

[But he can feel his heart soaring a bit that Hunter thinks he's got good looks.]
