"I wouldn't expect any less," Henry Tutor says in the tones of a great compliment.

Permalink

"Alright. Let's get you some rest then."

Permalink

The compliment causes him to smile wider, and then he winces, and nods at Heri, "Yeah..." Back to the house here on Origin, then? Or one of Kenta or Heri could open a portal to the house at the waterfalls outpost, if they wanted. They are no longer bound by distance! Or at least, by distances that are a week's journey away by ship...

Permalink

Kenta votes the waterfalls outpost, just because they can.

Permalink

Tobir's thoughts exactly. They can just portal back once they've had some downtime! 

 

Back at the house, Tobir downs a glass of water, and then flops down into the pillow pit, burrowing under the pillows so the only evidence of his presence is a few tufts of hair. He clearly intends to stay there for a while.

Heri and Kenta snuggle up next to him.

Comfy.

Permalink

After about three hours Henry Tutor comes. "Are you up for party? It should start in an hour or thirty minutes, and you might want time to make yourselves presentable." He says through the door.

Permalink

Tobir wakes up, partly, at the sound of his voice. He groans, curling up tighter and pressing his face into Kenta's shoulder.

"...Can't leave. The pillows and I are one, now."

Permalink

"Hopefully that's not a permanent condition. Take your time."

Permalink

Kenta rises up from the pillow pile. "I will, get your clothes and bath ready."

Permalink

Tobir grasps weakly for him when he leaves the cuddlepile, and then gives up and rolls over to curl up with Heri instead. 

After a moment, a muffled "Best Kenta," can be heard coming from the pillow pit.

Permalink

"Don't you forget it."

Permalink

Heri snuggles back until Kenta returns to get their bath.

Permalink

Tobir will reluctantly separate himself from the pillows at that point, heading bathwards groggily.

"I always forget why I don't do naps until I wake up from the latest one," he mutters, yawning. 

Permalink

"Mhmmm." Heri agrees.

The water is hot, one the first things Kenta wanted to stall here was the water heater.

Permalink

And once they are done, Kenta already picked their best clothing.

Permalink

Tobir hugs him. "Best," he reiterates.

Once they're dressed, Tobir will open a portal back to Origin for them, the nap having left him mostly recovered. And then, party!

Permalink

Party! It's not in full-swing, but it was not formally waiting for them to arrive. And there is a very up roaring welcome when they spot Tobir, some men want to carry Tobir on their shoulders.

Permalink

The greeting makes him go bright red, but he still grins and waves at everyone. He was expecting some amount of cheering but not quite this much! He's also entirely willing to be carried around on peoples' shoulders.

Permalink

While Tobir is being carried off by the crowd, Remi approaches Heri, "Well, I hope you don't mind if we leave the movie marathon for tomorrow or the day after?" He asks, smiling around at all the hubbub. 

Permalink

"Don't worry." Heri says, in a lower, "I wanted to figure out my crystal, but I already was not... very hopeful about it given the alts things." He shrugs. "And should be able to travel the entire world now!"

Permalink

Remi reaches over to squeeze his shoulder consolingly, and then nods, "We can," he agrees. "And eventually, perhaps, space as well." He looks up at the darkening sky, eyes going distant.

Permalink

Heri nods, then he realizes Remi is not looking at him and adds. "Hope so. Anyway, we should join the party."

Permalink

He looks back at Heri and smiles, "Yes, we should." He looks around, "Hm, I will be over there with the little ones for the next while if you need me for something," he decides, motioning to the group of under-twelves down on the beach. Having said so, he starts off in that direction.
