you're like a child with old eyes, cynical and sensible, always full of surprise [demon slaying 032]

Less harmless than most, at least.

[rev_it_up]

I called you dame. More than once.

That's pretty awful if you ask me.

voice;

[sing_my_faith]

It could have been worse. You could have called me "broad."

[private; unhackable]

Are you...where are you?

voice;

[rev_it_up]

I'd probably've shot myself.

[private || unhackable]

I'm coming home. It's a chore to remember to put one foot in front of the other right now.

voice;

[sing_my_faith]

Then it's a good thing you didn't. It must have been your survival instinct kicking in.

[private; unhackable]

Are you far?

voice;

[rev_it_up]

Titanium cockroach, huh?

[private || unhackable]

Taking the stairs now.

Anybody else home?

[sing_my_faith]

[That small sound might have been a laugh. Albeit a very tired one.]

At least some things are constant.

[private; unhackable]

The stairs?

Mmm. I think Rem is asleep again. I'm not sure if Elendira and Hikaru are still here or not.

[An equally tired sigh, and then an audible rattle at the door as he tries to open it, fails, and walks into it instead. oh, he's brilliant. He gets it on his second try and stumbles through, already half out of his jacket and hopping ungainfully on one foot while he tries to kick his boots off. He's the epitome of everything that is not-graceful.]

I'll be-- can I crash on your bed?

voice;

[sing_my_faith]

Of course. So long as you don't mind sharing.

voice;

[rev_it_up]

[A smile quirks one corner of his mouth up, and he stops at her, now sans boots and jacket.]

'Course not. You coming?

action get!

[sing_my_faith]

[She returns the half smile with one of her own, slipping her hand into his and squeezing.]

Definitely.

action get!

[rev_it_up]

[Instead, he picks her up. He's not quite so tired yet that he can't do that. And packs her off to her bedroom.]

Long day.

[a pause.]

... Long week.

action get!

[sing_my_faith]

[That little squeaking noise? Was about all the protest she could muster. By the time she insists she can walk the distance he'll have gotten there, so she just presses her face against his neck and shoulder and wraps her arms around him.]

It seemed like it might never end.

action get!

[rev_it_up]

[He maneuvers the door open - tricky when your arms are full, and steps into the bedroom, setting her gently down on the bed a moment later. After considering for a spell whether or not he should walk back over to the door and close it or just cheat and devil-arm the thing, he opts for the latter. He's lazy. So sue him.]

... Everything does. Could have ended better, in my opinion.

action get!

[sing_my_faith]

[He's earned the right to be lazy. She's trying to remember the last time they had the opportunity to relax together. This place kept them so bust, Nero especially. Kyrie didn't begrudge him the need to help people, but it didn't stop her from missing him. As evident by the fact that she's currently curling up as close to him as possible.]

Mmm. It's...terrifying. The curses are scary enough, but she was...she wasn't cursed, she just did those things.

action get!

[rev_it_up]

[And it's not like he minds the curling. He even wraps an arm around her and scoots closer as best he can. He's missed this, more than he'd like to admit. The warmth and nearness of having her by his side. He sighs, and for the first time in weeks, starts to feel the tension bleed from his shoulders.]

Grade A psychopath, huh?
