[ Royce breathes out a sigh of a noise. He only starts moving when Alfie shifts him, shakily pulling himself to his feet. He'll pick up the bread and wrap it in one of the blankets so they don't lose it, and then leans heavily against Alfie's side. He looks exhausted - and any sort of steps he takes are almost off center. ]

[devoutish]

[Yeah, that's not good.]

I'm gonna lift you, all right?

[bywolves]

Mmhm. [ He glances at Alfie. ] Be careful.

[devoutish]

I hurt no more than usual, walking over.

[He lifts him off his feet again, holding him to his chest.]

You're a feather.

[ He actually almost looks relieved to be off his feet, for a moment. He curls into Alfie's arms and closes his eyes. ]

Tomorrow, hotel. Okay?

[devoutish]

Okay.

[He bows his head, burying his nose in Royce's hair for a moment.]

I'll take you wherever you want to go.

[bywolves]

I think you were right. I want to sleep in a bed. [ A real one. He doesn't really care where he sleeps as long as he does, but - the bed would be warmer. ] Keep your head down while we walk.

[devoutish]

Like this?

[He tucks it a little lower.]

[bywolves]

Mm. Wind is bad. [ Royce mumbles, reaching up to wrap his arms around Alfie's neck. ] Burns.

[devoutish]

You need to grow a bigger beard, mate.

[bywolves]

Both of our faces are damp. It's smarter.

[devoutish]

Mm, but I need to keep a good look-out. That anomaly and all.

[bywolves]

I can do it. You walk. I'll look.

[devoutish]

You'll tell me where to go, too? Be my eyes?

[bywolves]

[ He hums a noise of agreement against Alfie's ear quietly, curling closer. ]

[devoutish]

[Okay.

Alfie tucks his face in again, though he'll use his peripheral vision to see the path ahead of him as much as possible. And together, they'll end up making it back to the warehouse.]
