[it's a really bad idea. And it's selfish for Tyr too, but if he takes the time to think too hard about any of that, then he'll be the one who gets spooked and runs and - he can't do that. Not when it's . . . whatever this is. Complicated.

Maybe he wants to let himself be selfish for once]

[afineknight]

[ after another long moment: ]

I should . . . get back.

[ he's not moving tho. ]

[leonheartedly]

Mm . . . I should, too.

[funny, neither is he]

[afineknight]

. . .

What are we doing?

[leonheartedly]

. . .

[he faintly shakes his head]

I don't know.

[afineknight]

[ He's gonna just pull back before they can make any more poor choices. ]

[leonheartedly]

[he lets his hand drop when he does, but catches Crois' sleeve before he can get too far]

Does it matter it's called? Whatever it is.

[afineknight]

[ He glances down at his sleeve at that. ]

. . . It should.

[leonheartedly]

. . . it should.

[he also glances down, frowning as his fingers briefly tighten. Then, quietly:]

All I know is that I don't want it to stop.

[afineknight]

[ He grimaces slightly.

And then glances up, looking out at the mist.

fuck it. ]

Neither do I.

[leonheartedly]

[oh . . . he glances up, surprised]

[afineknight]

[ He too seems surprised and grimaces again, not making eye contact. ]

[leonheartedly]

[after a moment he nods, tugging once at his sleeve before letting go]

. . . we can figure out the rest as we go.

[afineknight]

Can we?

[leonheartedly]

[. . .

He leans to look Crois in the eye, and in a firmer tone:]

We can figure out the rest as we go.

[afineknight]

[ He finally looks up, meeting his gaze. ]

. . . ha. I'm a real pain in the ass, you know.

[leonheartedly]

[the corner of his mouth lifts]

So am I.

[afineknight]

And I'm a bastard. I won't apologize for that.

[leonheartedly]

[he raises an eyebrow]

I know what you're like already, Crois.

[afineknight]

Barely.

[leonheartedly]

It's more than that.

[afineknight]

What do you mean?

[leonheartedly]

I know you more than "barely".

[afineknight]

. . . ha. Well. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, yanqui.

[leonheartedly]

[he rolls his eyes]

I'm pretty confident that I do. Still here, aren't I?
