Anael squirms out of his arms as soon as they arrive, heading for the bathroom.

Vince lets him, but he's alert, especially to smells. If there's blood spilled, the door will be in pieces. In the meantime, he picks up his cell phone and text-messages Barrett, asking him if he could possibly bring him clothes in Anael's size, adding the inn's room number and that it's an emergency.

There won't be blood, but Anael throws up and starts crying before running the shower as hot as he can and getting in, fully dressed.

((? Fully dressed? I thought Kenyuu shredded stuff?))

Vince looks at the door in sympathy as Ani retches. Then he feels the heat. That was--! He'd talk to him about it, afterwards. Let him be, for now.

"B-brother?" He blinks and sucks on his lip. "You want me to be your- um. Really?"

[notariverstone]

"I'll understand, if you don't want to."

((Thanks.))

"I would really like that. Thank you. I've never had a brother." His voice is soft, and touched.

Silence, with a tiny hint of a smile from Vince. It's good to hear Ani happy, even if it's only momentary.
