[ Well way to destroy him immediately. His face goes red, the gesture and touch adding to it despite him smearing dirt on him ]

I assumed I would just have to take more potions but I'm not opposed to keeping up with our dream encounters.

There are benefits to both. Though I will admit you've been getting more and more creative with common law.

Come let's clean up.

[He takes him by the hand back to his room.]

Are the potions not affecting you as strongly as before? Feeling out of place in your own skin.

I still feel uncomfortable for a bit afterwards, but it's not as strong as it used to be. I feared the more I'd take them the worse it would have gotten, but actually changing my body in other forms more often has made the issue better, not worse.

Being in a thirteen year old body is starting to feel temporary, which makes it feel less oppressive. I still feel like I'm out of place in my own skin, but it doesn't feel like I'm stuck like this forever.

[ he'll squeeze his hand ]

Though I'd still prefer not to overdo it.

[He hums as he listens and takes him to the sink in his room. He'll actually stand behind him and wash his hand for him if Five will let him.]

You know your limits the best, but Whatever we can do to help ease it, the discomfort, do let us know. But I am glad to hear that it does not seem so permanent, so stifling.

You are still rather adorable in this form from time to time. If only so I can carry you more easily.

Now, I do wish to longue in your garden, but I thought a change of wardrobe would be more appropriate.

[ Of course he'll let him, warmed by the care Emet always shows him, even in such simple gestures. It's obvious how pleased he is by it too. ]

I was curious about your present.

[He hands him the package with this and while it is hard to see there is a star choker with it. Also imagine a nice blazer on top for Baritones completeness.]

While I do desire to drape you in all that is appealing to me, I do admit I enjoy the challenge of finding outfits for all your forms.

[ 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.
