[ Which has Royce dissolving into a quiet little laugh even as he's reaching up to put his hand over Alfie's mouth. ]

No, no, mar's sake. Sorry I asked, of course you would. [ He's teasing. ]

[devoutish]

[Is Royce's laughter the best sound in the universe, or merely the best sound in this particular world? It's a question for the ages.]

Ah, I wouldn't need to. You wouldn't kick me out.

[bywolves]

[ A heavy sigh. ] No, I guess I wouldn't. Lucky you.

[devoutish]

I'll help you make the signs, though. "Fuck off, everyone else".

[bywolves]

Isn't that how we normally live? We wouldn't have to change much.

[devoutish]

Mmmmm.

[He gives Royce's cheek a lazy nuzzle.]

I won't complain.

[bywolves]

Me either. [ He's also very content to just be here for a while. The sisters are on his mind, but he knows Alfie is right - Royce needs to rest before he can get back in there. Especially because tomorrow means he's going to go in and kill Skeller. ]

[devoutish]

Do you think I should've fucked her?

[He asks sleepily, mostly joking.

Probably mostly joking.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce snort-laughs at the bluntness, but he thinks for a second about his answer. His answer is sleepy in return: ]

I don't know. She'd probably appreciate it more if she didn't have the chains on her.

[devoutish]

Mm, she suggested it, actually. Asked me if I wanted to.

[bywolves]

And you said no? [ He thinks that's surprising. ]

[devoutish]

Yeah. Didn't seem right.

[bywolves]

[ Hm. Yeah. That's a little bit where Royce is at, too. ]

I can see why it wouldn't. [ Even forcing color on Eve by touching her felt wrong, so. ]

[devoutish]

Would you have, if Dia had asked?

[bywolves]

No. Not while she's in chains.

[devoutish]

But if she weren't?

[bywolves]

[ A long pause. ]

I don't know. Maybe. [ He's uncomfortable, a little, but he's not sure why. ] If she really wanted to. If I could tell it was of her own free will that she wanted to.

[devoutish]

Could I then make faces at you, like you do at me?

[bywolves]

I'm going to say no.

[devoutish]

Oi. That's not very fair, is it.

[bywolves]

Life's not fair, Solomons.

[devoutish]

Just you watch, I'm gonna do it anyway.

[bywolves]

Only if she actually asks. Which I doubt she will. [ Nyehhh. ]

[devoutish]

[Alfie makes a face right now. You can't stop him you're not his mom.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce is not even looking up at him and he knows, which is why he pushes Alfie's face with his hand without even looking. ]
