Lianne seems a bit reluctant at the idea.

“Would you mind, or prefer, if I turned back for this?” he says, after it's clear they're both dawdling. “I think it'd be good for…” he trails off.

"I don't mind. Not at all."

Then he can offer them his hand and shift into being held by theirs.

He doesn't use words but if he did they might be: ‘I am at your back and in your hand.’

They smile fondly down at him.

"Well, guess it's time to go."

Then, deep breath, and they head home.

Marian doesn't seem to be around at the moment.

"Do you want to stay as a weapon for a while?" they ask.

I don't mind either way. But this is — easier to wait.

It'd be terrible if it didn't!

"Yeah. Especially if your wielder's an ass..."

Vaguely uncomfortable agreement.

" - Sorry."
