[ he's clearly surprised by it, but he smiles looking at it, and of course his hands immediately go for the choker, examining it ]

You have impeccable taste as always.

Hopefully this can be worn for both private and public functions.

[He does take the choker and step around him, putting it on for him.]

A stopgap until I buy off those scars, even if they can be. But I did note how much you enjoyed the marking.

[ well his face goes red once more at the comment, and he clears his throat, trying to hide that ]

Can you blame me? It's very sexy.

It is. I find it delightful.

[And then he gives him time to change before he will pick him up.]

[ He's pretty pleased with the outfit, and just as pleased when he picks him up - he only complains when they're in public, after all ]

Maybe if I mix this with enough Taisho clothing I can get away with wearing it more frequently.

Vergil simply wears a vest over Baritones clothes. I'm sure you can do manage the same.

[He is taking him out of his room, though! To go back to the garden and sit in the grass with him nestled in his lap again. He leans back on his hands and looks at him ever fond.]

And how are you recovering? Do you still go outdoors with less frequency?

I don't like going out alone much now so I do prefer to stick to crowded places or go out with company. Though it has less to do with the death itself and has more to do with the nightmare that followed.

You have my contact should you ever need it. Know that no hour is too early or late. And I am even more glad you've arranged your room with Vergil as you have.

[He trails his fingers across his neck.]

If only I could give a part of my soul to carry with you. To remind you always.

[ there's a soft smile at that, and he'll bring his hand to his cheek, stroking it lightly ]

Well I'd say I do carry part of your soul with me every moment. I might not be an expert but I'm pretty sure the love you show me every day counts for it.

Now if only my love were strong enough that you could see my color on your aether. Wouldn't that be a treat?

[He smiles into it.]

Would you like to sleep here tonight? A few blankets and pillows under the stars surrounded by the sound of the creek and the smells of the flowers in the breeze.

I would, actually.

[ he leans in to kiss his cheek, and then just rests his head against his ]

Though anywhere would be nice with you.

I was thinking the same.

Do I say it often enough? How much better you make my life?

You do. And the sentiment is shared.

I just wish I could shield you from all pain. Though I imagine it's the same for you.

[There is a lot of hand kissing today, and as he takes his hand and kisses it before holding it against his heart.]

It is. But it gets better, day by day. Celebrate these victories. I know I do.

My sun.
My promised dawn.

You know, I always love the way that sounds.

[He leans his head against his.]

You probably never thought of yourself as hope before, but you truly are.

Despite your arrogance and dour expressions of course. You really do defy all reason.

Lahabrea accused me of being an optimist just the other day, so I can't refute that.

[ he'll let his eyes fall shut, squeezing his hand lightly ]

But I am glad that I could give you hope.

More than that have you given me. A companion. A lover. Somewhere I can hide when the world is too large. And most importantly a friend.

Sometimes I am surprised I am your first, save Delores.

[ oh no. That's sweet, but definitely too much for him, so of course he has to hide his face against his shoulder for a moment, just trying to process the onslaught of emotion ]

Well. You were worth learning to be a good one. Friend, lover and companion.

Never doubt that I need you just as much as you need me. It is a partnership after all.

[He brushes his hair amused at the hiding.]

And if you would like to rest, do. A small dip into your dreams to push it on the right path should be safe, and I'll be here when you wake up.

I was planning on watching you fall asleep and watch over you like that, actually. Would that be considered hovering?

It would be, but I a rather enjoy the protectiveness.

Just make sure I don't burn too much.

I think I can do that.

[ he'll finally come out of hiding to kiss his cheek ]

[He seems more than pleased. He leans back cradling his head with an arm but keeping one around Five.]

I do miss sleeping outdoors.

We could go camping again. Maybe this time it won't be cut short.
