[bywolves]

Yeah. [ Royce murmurs. ] He begged. He said he had an important job to do. He said he was a noble. You can't just kill a noble, he said, and expect to live.

I told him he shouldn't have touched Gwen.

[devoutish]

And he died. And you lived.

[He brushes Royce's hair away from his face.]

[bywolves]

I lived. [ But not Gwen and her girls, not forever. Royce goes quiet. ]

[devoutish]

Royce.

[He brushes his fingers against his cheek.]

You'll free them, mate.

[bywolves]

I'm going to try. [ And that's more than he used to offer, for anybody. ]

[devoutish]

It sounds like you're doing well. And if there's anything more that I can do, if they need more color--

[bywolves]

I think we'll be alright. [ Royce says, closing his eyes. ] I should still be in there. Doesn't seem right that Dia has to spend her night on the floor in chains while I...

[ :c make him stop caring this much, alfie ]

[devoutish]

Nope. No, you rest for a bit. You can't do anything for them if you don't take care of yourself first.

[bywolves]

[ Yeah, he knows. He sinks into Alfie's side, relaxed. ]

Yeah. Cold got too be too much. [ He's stopped shivering, at least. ]

[devoutish]

Yeah. And you'll sleep later, as well?

[bywolves]

Yeah. Going to be hard to avoid.

[devoutish]

[Alfie hmmms, satisfied with that answer.]

Have you been to see Noc at all?

[bywolves]

Once. It was brief, just to ask her what colors she needed, but then everybody was visiting her so I thought I'd take my color elsewhere. Why?

[devoutish]

Curious. I didn't know she was one of the popular ones, but I'm not surprised, I suppose.

[bywolves]

Both her and Rae are the types to attract more attention. Noc is - a tease. [ Sniff. ] And Rae is innocent.

Dia is not the most personable, and Eve is a martyr.

[devoutish]

[He huffs a laugh.]

A tease, yeah, that's a word for it.

You didn't like Eve much then, did you.

[bywolves]

[ Royce shifts to give Alfie a raised eyebrow of a look. ]

... I didn't mind her, but she got angry when I brought her color, and I could do with less of that. I imagine you spoke with Noc. [ "Spoke". Alfie, he knows you very well. ]

[devoutish]

[He pokes Royce in the side.]

You think that I think with my dick more than I do.

[bywolves]

No, I think you think with your head and your dick benefits from it. [ Huff. ]

[devoutish]

[God, Royce. Alfie just starts chuckling.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce makes a face at him. ]

Did you sleep with her? Or just kiss her?

[devoutish]

She was chained to a chair, Royce; I didn't sleep with her.

[bywolves]

[ Well, good. Huff. Royce pushes his hair back out of his face. ]

So you kissed her, then.

[devoutish]

And what's wrong with a kiss?

[bywolves]

Nothing. [ And that's almost defensive. ] I was just curious.
