Alejandro and Jaspre

He frowns, but nods, blinking sleepily. "I'll be there in a few minutes," he says, not quite sure what's happening. "Where are you going again?"

{That's just what I was thinking. :3}

”Telemea, a town in the north.” He only wishes he could give an estimate on when they might return; not knowing when he’ll see Alejandro again puts a restless, uncertain feeling in his stomach.

In the mess area Cecelia waits for him, more than halfway through her meal already, and Ingrid brings one for him and the two bags Rainier has prepared for him. He puts his own things in and wolfs down the breakfast without taking much notice of its taste.

(XD. How long should it take them to get to Duhollow? We can probably skip a bit of their trip there.)

Alejandro comes out just as they are about to leave, looking tired and much older than he is. "Please be safe," he says quietly as he embraces Jaspre, holding him as close as he can.

{I'm not sure. Are they going to Telemea first or are they changing direction halfway?}

“I will. Take care of yourself.” They cling to each other, knowing that it might be a long time before they meet again, and Jaspre feels that he ought to say something other than just goodbye -anything- but he does not know what. Instead though, as they let go, he takes Alejandro’s face in his hands and leans in to kiss him on the mouth, not caring that those present can see.

(They could either join up with Sylvelin in Duhollow on the way there, or on the way back. Perhaps they could get a clue that makes them turn around before they get to Telemea? It's pretty far north, even when travelling by train.)

He melts into the kiss, gripping Jaspre's shoulders hard and only letting go when he thinks he might pass out from lack of air. "Bring her home," he whispers, fisting his hands in Jaspre's shirt.

{I think that turning back before they get there sounds good.}
