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.]

[bywolves]

I'm slow. [ And he's quieter, now, too. ]

[devoutish]

Doesn't matter to me. It's still your voice; that's the important bit.

[bywolves]

[ He curls a little closer, with a noncommittal sound. ]

If you want.

[devoutish]

I do. I like hearing you.

[bywolves]

I don't know how long I can do it for. [ But he will. ]

[devoutish]

Once you can't anymore, then we'll switch off.

[bywolves]

Okay. [ His hand comes up to hold at Alfie's shirt loosely. ]
