Mm. [ Don't diss his one chance at friends outside the snowbos, Alfie!! ]

[devoutish]

Mm.

[Alfie echoes, nudging him.]

But I do trust your judgement.

[bywolves]

He's interesting. [ Royce shifts, and carefully sits up. He wants a better look at the crystals, mostly. He stays close to Alfie, though, still leaning close. ]

Anyway. It's good to be away from the snow.

[devoutish]

We could come out here more often, if you like.

[bywolves]

Just during the winter, maybe. I'm fine when the ground is clear.

[devoutish]

I've never been out here at night, myself. Never seen--

[He gestures at the crystals, brightly glowing blue in the moonlight.]

[bywolves]

I saw them from the beach. [ Royce says, almost absently. ] I've never actually been here.

You have, though.

[devoutish]

With Meulin, yeah, but only during the daytime.

[bywolves]

How are the two of you?

[ And how does she feel about Royce taking Alfie on a date to the islands to see the glowing blue crystals while lying on an air mattress under the stars, because like... ]

[devoutish]

Oh, you know - as we have been. Very good.

[bywolves]

Good. I'm glad you have her. [ He glances back over his shoulder to look at Alfie. ] That you still have her.

[devoutish]

She's good to put up with me.

[He scoots forward, tucking his chin over Royce's shoulder.]

[bywolves]

[ Royce leans his head against Alfie's, looking back out towards the water. ]

I imagine she puts up with you the same way I do.

[devoutish]

By deciding that it's all worth it because I am very lovable?

[bywolves]

Yes, exactly that. [ He teases. With a nudge: ] Drinking a glass of wine at the end of the day to remind yourself it's worth it.

[devoutish]

Arse.

[Royce won't even have to turn around to see that he's smiling, though; it's in his voice.]

[bywolves]

That's me. [ Royce hums, leaning back against him. ] It's a good thing you wished for infinite Montemorcey because I'm going to need it. We have years and years ahead of us.

[ But he sounds warm and happy about that. ]

[devoutish]

And what's my reward for putting up with you, eh?

[bywolves]

Not having to hunt your own rabbit.

[devoutish]

There we are.

[He wraps his arms around Royce's chest, bringing them both back down onto the mattress.]

I knew there was something.

[bywolves]

[ Royce oofs, playfully, when they get back down to the mattress. ]

That's the only thing, though. Everything else is too much.

[devoutish]

And what about sailing trips?

[bywolves]

A selfish ruse. I wanted to look at the crystals so I brought you along in case of bears.

[devoutish]

If I can't even hunt rabbits, what makes you think I can hunt bears?

[bywolves]

Not to hunt the bears, so that I can push you in front of one and run. [ Royce. ]
