"You could tell me about the emergency dungeon and anything you know about how espers get assigned to dungeons, and, what protocols you have about how to act in these situations?  Or gun safety, that would also work."

"Yeah absolutely, I have so many gun safety facts memorized - should I pet your hair also -"

....The thing is that Bug kind of trapped Julien in a corner here, where if he's weird about this he'll, well, be the one making it weird.  Which was not exactly good of Bug, like he thought, but also..... yeah it is in fact extremely nice as a sensation and Julien just has to not make it weird.  "Sure."

Hairpetting and gun safety facts.

Honk shoo mimimi.  Within a really small number of minutes.

Snuggling is a Social Activity, Haru's Backlash, so shut up.

Sleep time.

Julien sleeeeeps innnnnn.

Haru too. Though not by quite as much. He gets up to hit the bathroom and grab his laptop for snuggly computing; he makes a clinic appointment even though the arm bite doesn't feel that bad.

Mmmmmmmm.

"Morning."

"Morning. We - unless you'd rather stay behind - are expected at the urgent care for my arm bite in about an hour, should be enough time to get a shower where I spend the entire time keeping my left arm out of the water and a breakfast first."

"That sounds great."  Though he doesn't make any move to get out of bed and in fact snuggles up a bit more.

Haru will wait for a couple minutes, but then: "I did run around in a dungeon in the middle of the night, I could really use the shower. - also it's the cleaning lady's day to come by, she might already be downstairs, don't be spooked about that."

"Thank you, I would have been."

"You want to change into trunks in the bathroom or here, I'll take whichever room you don't."

"Doesn't matter to me."  Ughhhhhhh fine he will up.  He has to head to the bathroom anyway since that's where the trunks were drying; he - starts that way.  After breaking contact with Haru.

Haru's trunks were also hung up in the bathroom; he follows, snags them, and ducks into his own room to change.

And then shower.  Down one arm and one pair of eyes, mostly.

When they emerge and get dressed and go downstairs Maya the cleaning lady is indeed already there; she and Haru converse in Tagalog.

That's pretty cool.  ....Maybe Julien can springboard off of any potential baggage he has from Starbucks into having learning French be important enough to his brain that he can study it along with emergency prep stuff.  Also, separately, maybe he should practice more with Haru later.

"Cheerios?" Haru asks Julien, when Maya has moved on.

"Sounds good."

Cheerios occur.

"And now I want to get all my crap off the garage floor and then I think we'll probably still have enough time to walk to the clinic, it'd be a little difficult to guide while driving my truck."

"I - okay."

"- something the matter?"
