[devoutish]

Really? Why?

[bywolves]

Don't know. It's always just once, and then it doesn't happen again until I eat it a separate time.

[devoutish]

[That's adorable. He can't say so, though, because Royce would pinch him.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce glances up at him, rubbing at his face. It's cold, and he doesn't want the tears from before to freeze. ]

What?

[devoutish]

Nothing, nothing.

[He leans his shoulder into Royce's.]

Nothing.

[bywolves]

[ Royce rests his head against Alfie, carefully screwing the jar lid back on. ]

[devoutish]

[Alfie settles it on the mattress next to them.]

I wish I had some rye for you, too.

[bywolves]

We can go back downtown soon. [ Royce mumbles. Maybe it's a little hopeful. ]

[devoutish]

[Alfie alights on that immediately.]

You want to? Yeah, we'll go downtown. We can pick up food here, first; we need it. But after that-- yeah. Straight away.

[bywolves]

Okay. [ He closes his eyes again. ] Gabriel said he wanted to come see us. He's close by.

[devoutish]

Will he be bringing the whole crew with him?

[bywolves]

No. Just him.

I don't want to see Alphonse. Or Brown.

[devoutish]

Just him, then. Okay.

Where's he gonna meet us?

[bywolves]

There's a house with unlimited hot water. Close. To the west. [ Sniff. ] Let's go there.

[devoutish]

Before we get your bread?

[bywolves]

Yeah. [ He closes his eyes. ] I want both of us to get to have warm water.

[devoutish]

Imagine a bath.

[He says quietly, closing his eyes.]

[bywolves]

... You have to be careful. With baths.

[devoutish]

Why do I have to be careful with baths?

[bywolves]

Easy to not realize how cold you are because the water cools with you. Easy to fall asleep. Hypothermia. Drowning.

[ mm yes that paranoia two ]

[devoutish]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be careful of that, of course. We'll watch each other.

[bywolves]

[ He nods a little. ]

Like always.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[Have a face nuzzle, Royce.]

I'll be in for hours. Refreshing the water, keeping it hot.

[bywolves]

I'll be close by. [ He enjoys the face nuzzle, tilting into it. ] I... I have plenty of books to read.

[ He'd almost forgotten. Karkat's dead. Davesprite's been dead. Possibly forever. Nobody to collect books for, anymore. ]

[devoutish]

You can read some out loud.

[Listening to Royce read as he luxuriates in the bath. That sounds like the best evening ever.]
