[Yeah, sure, don't wanna get late for dinner—especially due to this.]

So Anthony gets up and pulls Dayo with him.

Oh, good, Dayo does enjoy being manhandled.

And Anthony pulls him towards the bathroom – actually pulls him a bit fast, oh dear, and Anthony kisses him – and then fumbles to turn on the shower.

Thankfully the shower is magical and easy to operate so it doesn't take a lot of fumbling.

As for being pulled and kissed: yes.

Anthony likes the positivity here.

Dayo can go under the water, then, since he's being washed first.

Is he now, okay, sure, Anthony's the boss here.

Anthony's still kissing him, so actually – they're more both under the water, but then he pulls back and smirks.

"What?"

Anthony looks down and – "Nothing."

Still smirking.

Dayo rolls his eyes. "Let's just get cleaned," he says, and proceeds to do just that.

He might linger a bit some places.

Anthony laughs, but yes, getting each other cleaned is a good activity.

And soon enough they're done and should get dressed again and go have dinner.

They are and they do.

[… Seems like people are surprisingly okay right now,] comments Anthony.

[Could just be the acceptance phase,] he suggests. They start making their way to the cafeteria.

[Could be.]

[It'll be fine. Or it won't. But regardless fretting about it today is not—useful. That's, I guess, the best way to look at it.]

Shrug. [I agree. But I'd expect most people to find it harder to just – slot it away.]

He shrugs, too, and then they arrive at the cafeteria.

Anthony scans the room briefly, then heads toward the counter.

People do, in fact, seem relatively calm.

Vivian waves at them from a table where she's talking to a friend.

And Dayo follows Anthony.

Anthony waves back.

[Food looks nice today. Spaghetti may in fact be my favorite.]

[Eh, it's alright, I guess.]

[Spaghetti is awesome and I refuse to hear any disparaging comment against it.]
