Who: Rean, Crow, and Randy
When: day 28
Where: the garden

[Rean's been passed out since princess maker, so a good 40 hours at least. When he wakes up... well he's immortal but here's never been in a position where there's no ambient mana he can use to even function basically. He feels fuzzy and almost like he's sick for over an hour, and he runs into more than one wall and that's all so absolutely unreal to him he finally texts Randy and Crow a simple word Garden. It takes him three tries to spell it right before hitting send.

And he'll be there next to a chalk circle full of symbols.]

Next time for sure, then.

[ He flops down as well, stretching out comfortably. ]

[awakenerd]

Mm.

[Turning to prop his chin on his hand and look at Crow.]

I look forward to it.

[bad_crowmance]

You'd better be. [ Maybe he should buy several decks, try and make sure they get distributed throughout the train. It'd be fun if he could get more people into Blade-- It's a thought for later, maybe. ] You should probably stay the night here. Go back to your cabin tomorrow or whatever, but it'd be easier for now.

[awakenerd]

Mm. Maybe that might make Rufus feel better but I'm still worried about Randy.

It's always hard to decide how much space to give people before trying to resolve things. Since it was my fault in the first place I don't want to give the impression I'm avoiding him.

[bad_crowmance]

You don't strike me as the kind of guy who avoids his problems, and if I'm right on that I'd bet they both know it. Go see Randy first thing tomorrow, have whatever talk you need to have with him.

[awakenerd]

.... Yeah. That might be best.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He reaches over and ruffles Rean's hair. ]

Of course it is, it's my advice.

[ It's teasing and although he does think it's good advice, he's not serious about that either. ]

[awakenerd]

Mmngh.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow glances over at Rean. Howwwwww do you deal with sad people? He's pretty sure that, unfortunately, distracting him with sex is off the table. It's a pity, it'd be a lot of fun. But Rean sounded like he was the kind of guy to take things slow the last time it came up.

He considers what he's going to do for a long moment before he rolls over really close and flops an arm over Rean. There. ]

[awakenerd]

[Oh.

Well that distracts him from whiny noises as he turns his head to look at the Crow draped on him.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Shhh don't worry about it. ]

I don't usually wear my pajamas so you can borrow those tonight.

[awakenerd]

What do you usually wear?

[bad_crowmance]

Just my boxers, usually!

[awakenerd]

Is that what you plan on wearing?

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah? I don't see why not.

[awakenerd]

[Huffs a little. But he hasn't got a rank problem with it.]

Sure I'll borrow your pyjamas I guess.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Look, this answer is better than when it gets really warm because he doesn't even wear that much. ]

Alright, then that's settled.

[ He says, still draped comfortably on Rean. ]

[awakenerd]

[Well if Crow is going to act like a cat he'll pet him like one. Still troubled a bit and thinking about Randy and Rufus but...]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Oh, that feels pretty nice actually-- there's a pleased, contented feeling at the hair petting. It seems he can at least take what he's dishing out to Rean. ]

[awakenerd]

[He's pretty relaxed about this level of casual affection anyway, combing his fingers absently through Crow's hair like it's natural.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He might wanna take off Crow's dumb bandanna for best effect, but either way there's a warm, hazy sort of satisfaction floating through Crow at the feeling and he's not... quite falling asleep, but definitely relaxing, muscles loosening by increments. ]

[awakenerd]

[He does eventually tug it gently off if Crow lets him!]

[bad_crowmance]

[ In most contexts he wouldn't-- but he's comfortable, relaxed, and they're alone in his room so he doesn't mind beyond a soft, murmured sound as his hair is freed from its constraints.

(Is he aware he looks better without the bandanna? Of course he is, but it keeps his hair out of his face, or at least enough so that he prefers it. That and he genuinely likes the aesthetic of it. There's no accounting for taste.) ]

[awakenerd]

[It's... a warm and intimate atmosphere, being draped on by his awakener in Crow's room. Even just removing Crow's headband feels strangely intimate, but he's not going to stop running his fingers languidly through that soft hair.

Though he's certainly still thinking of his worries about Randy and Rufus the pleasant situation is also starting to take up more of his immediate attention.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Good, pay attention to Crow! He enjoys the attention, soaks it in like a sponge. He's aware of the intimacy of the atmosphere, but as comfortable and content as he is right now he can't bring himself to be bothered by it. ]
