[This fine morning, there's someone new preparing food in the kitchen with whatever ingredients you guys have lying around. But whatever it is, it smells really good.]

Comments

[over_the_fop]

Oh just in general. In some specifics as well, which you can probably hazard a very close guess.

[overclocking]

[There's a very long pause where he doesn't move or say anything, before turning to face you again]

Is that like "tomorrow should look up"?

[over_the_fop]

Something like that.

[overclocking]

...

Are you going to be okay?

[over_the_fop]

Yes, I think... there seems to be paths around the mountains, as it were.

The unscrupulous thing just seems to constantly work to my advantage.

[overclocking]

She's more like Rapunzel than I thought originally. Thankfully.

... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have— [Brought her here? How could I not? Or maybe it's what I SHOULD HAVE done. Warned you? Something else entirely?]

[over_the_fop]

-Helped someone in need?

[overclocking]

—Failed to look out for the needs of the people already here.

[over_the_fop]

Oh hardly, you're here right now. If you had THAT level of predictive power, I would have to lord over you that you took to hand a god as well. I'm not sure your dignity would ever recover.

... I will be fine.

[overclocking]

[There's another long pause before he relaxes, just slightly]

... Okay.

[over_the_fop]

...

[Just grabs you and pulls you over into a hug.]

[overclocking]

[Yes good.

Wrapping his arms around your neck obligingly and resting his forehead against your shoulder.]

[over_the_fop]

[Just pulling the embrace a little tighter without comment. It's a little hard to tell who exactly this is for, but really? Doesn't matter all that much.]

[overclocking]

[Can't it be mutual? In any case, he doesn't seem in any hurry to break the contact.]

[over_the_fop]

[No really, we can stay like this a while.]

[overclocking]

[After a long while he pulls back enough to press a kiss to your temple. It seems like it might be a thank you for something, but who even knows what]

[over_the_fop]

[There's no comment to it, just a smile and he runs a hand through your hair.]

Shall we, then? [Nods to the door.]

[overclocking]

[Leaning into it for a moment before pulling away and straightening up]

Mm... If you're ready.
