[Rubbing his head, looking at Taako - he didn't recognize any of those voices, but he still understood what they were saying. It sounded like Taako recognized it, though.]

Shit. It's the kid they were looking for last night.

[chaoticlootral]

Yeah, I kinda figured it would be.

[Pushing his hair up out of his face, then taking his hat off so he can fan himself with it.]

Um, I recognized the first voice. On the announcement. It was the guy I was telling you about.

[ruffboi]

Oh! Really? 'cause I couldn't make it out at all.

[And he did know Chuuya? He didn't sound like that?]

[chaoticlootral]

The last voice, um, seems like a bunch of people recognized. Someone named Akechi or something?

Fuck if I know if it means anything. Could just be a fun torture device.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Could be fake.

[. . .]

So. Seems like we're all getting murdered again! [The most awkward attempt to segue into feelings talk? Yeah.]

[chaoticlootral]

Seems like it.

[Fanning himself with the hat faster!!!]

Are you hot? It's hot as fuck right now. Seriously, an Abyssal Ogre's asscrack.

[ruffboi]

Yeah. Maybe we fell asleep too close to the fire or something - ?

[He nods, though.]

I feel it too.

[chaoticlootral]

[Sticking his face directly into his hat for a moment, sitting there, silent, face in hat.

Before he finally sits up again.]

You wanna talk about it, huh?

[ruffboi]

. . . Yeah.

[Looking. Apologetic about that?]

I don't want to make you, but I feel like we can't afford not to!

[chaoticlootral]

It's-- [A deep sigh, kicking a heel in the dirt.] It's fine. I just didn't want you to make that face at me for like, the rest of the time we're here.

I mean, you're not brain genius but you've probably heard I died.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, 'cause you said it all the time, a bunch, to a bunch of people other than me.

[Just. Gently scolding. He knows why Taako didn't tell him.]

I also heard you guys weren't brought back, at the end.

[chaoticlootral]

I just told you why, 'cause of the face.

[The face Magnus is making right now! He almost visibly flinches at the second part though.]

Who snitched?

[ruffboi]

I don't think they snitch. I think they figured I already knew.

[Not answering! Anyway.]

Here. You don't have to look at my face while I make it if we're doing an hour long hug!

[Just. Bear-hugging him.]

[chaoticlootral]

No, because I told them-- Hey! What the fuck! Get off--

[It's too late!!!! He's in there, and he might have Taako's hand stuck to his shoulder trying to push him the fuck off, but he's got no choice now.]

What the fuck!

[ruffboi]

[Yeah, he's really in there. Might as well gently pillow your head against the tiddy and enjoy it. He's holding him so tenderly.]

If you'd been upfront with me from the start, we could've hugged it out before sticky week, so it's really your fault!

[chaoticlootral]

[He'll fight it for a moment, but. Fine. Resting his face against that tiddy because he's resigned to his fate.]

Well, you know now.

[ruffboi]

Yeah.

[And, in a voice where it's clear he's making one of those faces - ]

And I'm not leaving here without you.

[chaoticlootral]

I can hear you making the face.

[Huffing, but he's stuck, so. He has to talk about it.]

Don't-- it wasn't just that we didn't come back. We were going to be turned into whatever it is those things were. Demons.

[ruffboi]

Don't what! I don't care what was going to happen. It's not gonna happen anymore.

[chaoticlootral]

I know it's not, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not going back there, but I don't know if I can go home either. You said there was a Taako with you? And you guys good-ended, so, he's probably already on his way home, right?

[ruffboi]

Maybe? Fuck if I know how it works.

[chaoticlootral]

Well, I do.

You're gonna cause some timeline problems.

[ruffboi]

Well. I know a thing or two about that.

[Gently, like he's not concerned at all.]

Let's cause some timeline problems.

[chaoticlootral]

[Yeah! He doesn't seem at all concerned and it's irritating the fuck out of Taako, because he wants to be fucked up about it! Magnus is making that very difficult.]

Stop making it sound so friggin' simple.

[ruffboi]

Well, I'm not some kind of brain genius who's going to calculate all these timelines and then go, whoops, guess you're an extra Taako, get fucked. That smart guy stuff is beyond me.
