[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

Comments

[crimeson]

I sure don't.

[fisherofmen]

...... That makes two of us.

holds

[crimeson]

[a huff that's probably most of the way to a laugh]

At least there's that.

thank u

[fisherofmen]

Yeah.

[ closing his eyes again ]

. . . Didn't want to stay with Rean?

[crimeson]

I didn't not want to stay with Rean... but I wanted to try this, too.

[fisherofmen]

[ small huff ]

Haah. Well, should I leave you to it?

[crimeson]

[...shifting back, fast and smooth, and now cael is in the arms of a fully human Randy.]

Nah.

[fisherofmen]

[ it's peepo

blinks a few times, stiff as a board, before he tilts his head up and relaxes against him just a little ]

Okay.

[crimeson]

[a little tense too, until cael starts to relax at all. randy gives him... a shy smile?]

Not too sudden?

[fisherofmen]

[ considers kissing him

considers that might be also too sudden actually ]

No, you're fine. Is this comfortable, though?

[crimeson]

Mm, let me...

[shifting them a little, getting cozy in his human shape.]

Is now.

[fisherofmen]

[ tilting his head up to look at him, considering for a moment, before lifting his hand up straight into the air, almost like he's reaching for the stars ]

[crimeson]

[watching him do that, following the line of his arm, then... copying the motion?

[fisherofmen]

[ tilts his head back, and then tilts his hand too, holding it out in front of randy's face ]

[crimeson]

[softly]

What are we doing?

[fisherofmen]

. . .

I thought I might touch your head, but I don't want to startle you.

[crimeson]

Oh.

You can.

[fisherofmen]

[ pets his head. ]

[crimeson]

[considers this for a moment, then presses into the touch, gentle.]

[fisherofmen]

[ it's not a negative response so he continues to pet, gently threading fingers through his hair ]

[crimeson]

[randy settles into it, letting his eyes close.]

[fisherofmen]

[ oh dang does this actually make people go to sleep

time to continue petting to find out ]

[crimeson]

[no he's too paranoid to sleep but he does just stay quiet and still and let petting happen]

[fisherofmen]

[ well

eventually, his own hand stops

possibly, because his own eyes are starting to shut ]

[crimeson]

[after a while, angling his head to look at cael, but otherwise not calling him on it.]
