" I cannot sleep the day away .. Sebastian. "

English

Jaw tightened some and then steadily relaxed . It seems this kind of stubbornness was not going to go away anytime soon . Huffing quietly as squinted gaze lay transfixed in the others direction, merely loosening slightly in his hold. &&

And it seems the hiss doesn't really bother the detective, no, in fact, he's pulling Stefano into his arms fully, bearded face nuzzling into scarfed neck. "Stay for a while..." What an odd sense of comfort he feels when the other is safely within his arms. As if nothing —

English

" Stefano Valentini , a pleasure . You are a survivor of this realm hm ? I believe I've seen you at the camp fire . "

English

He seemed to shrug off the apology , a moment in passing . He wasn't going to dwell on it , after all he hadn't seen or he SUPPOSEDLY hadn't . Sounded genuine in his stance though. Suddenly he would extend a red palm , broadcasting a slow smile. &&

English

For a beat , no words are returned back to him , head tilting as he merely observed the other . Someone who'd perhaps been intimidated by others before ? Yet .. not one to easily back down either . At least if he had to guess . &&

while he wasn't expecting the other's words to simply affirm the ideas he put out there in the first place、all that tension to square in dwight's shoulders had eased at nonchalant words. he would've figured the other to be more ━

Yes , a little . She is resting currently . ( turning to glance at him questioningly . ) Higher ?

Damage...? From the flaming enemies? ( Looking over at the sketches, brows furrowing as he points to a thing. ) Shouldn't that value be higher?

English

- the truth they hide . I'm.. sure she holds a lot of love for you, even now . " He murmured slowly .

English

Suddenly like candlelight going out , Stefano were no longer in his chair . Disappeared from sight until suddenly , a tentative palm glides down Sebastians arm . He's behind him . " I don't believe she could ever hate you . Not when she learns &&

"Who else can I really blame? I should've been more persistent, more determined and less of a damn drunk..." He shouldn't be blaming himself, all of the tragedies he's endured, well it's more than several lifetimes of it... "I just...hope she doesn't hate me, that she —

English

No, the only danger really , was Stefano himself .

English

The groaning of the creature echoed through ears . Camera lense whirring . The artist turned and began to traverse down a hallway with his dear Obscura following close behind . " Nothing will attack you here ." He stated carefully with a hum . &&

although he was in pain , he was confused by the other's words . masterpiece ? what did that mean ? and then , he felt himself being lifted up , gasping at the sudden sensation . “ woah — ”

Of course , well , I knew you'd break it so . ( a chuckle before his gaze glossed over the sketches . ) Just some ideas and fixes for Obscura . She took some damage yesterday .

The no affection rule... ( The very same one he mentioned just moments prior. ) What are you working on...?

English

( that same tension still rises sometimes whenever Sebastian does something like that , but it seemed to burn less . Eye breifly closing . He almost smiles . ) And what rule is that ?

I sleep easier with you around... ( Staring down at the artist for a good few moments, lips pressing gently against his forehead. ) Broke my own damn rule for ya too...

English

( he half expected that. Knowingly that the no affection remark wouldn't age well . Leaning back against touch some , letting out a sigh . ) You're saying ... ? ( he's seeming to get it , now cantering his head back and glancing up . )

( Getting up from the floor and making his way over, hugging the artist from behind. ) I didn't snore when you were with me...

English

What ? ( he retorted not looking up from his sketching . )

Didn't snore last time when you were next to me... ( Dropping hints again, detective? )

English

( he's busy sketching to a desk , not glancing at the other . ) You were snoring rather loud . ( he stated nonchalantly. Almost smirking at the others attitude . )
