[it kind of was last time, he should know what he's getting into]

Leave one outside the nerd dorms...

[Go big or go home. He does not plan to go home, so. The rest can be pineapple juice.]

Jesus, can you picture Intensity's face? We'd have to get it on video.

It'd be so worth it. We gotta talk to C, he could make it happen and take the blame.

[Works on her drink a little more before]

--Shit, what time is it?

[And she goes working for her phone]

Dunno. Pretty late, I guess.

[He'd been reaching for a senbei, but he pauses before he gets there.]

You got somewhere you gotta be?

[Maybe it's the half-cup of rum he's had already, but that doesn't come out anywhere near as casual as he was trying for.]

Intensity's s'posed to call clown lady after 24 hours--

[Fiddles with her phone looking for missed texts bitching her out]

Augh, I totally forgot...

Clown lady?

In case you didn't come back. He offered.

He - was gonna get ahold of Exael?

[There is - an odd note in his voice.]

Same deal as for C and Haruto, don't feel too special. But he'll be pissed if he calls for no reason--I forgot to tell 'im you're back.

...I talked to him earlier. He didn't mention.

[Leaves off reaching for that senbei and drinks some more of this drink instead.]

Culpable deniability. He'd ruin his rep if people saw him not being 100 percent asshole all the time.

--But you talked to him? Today?

Yeah, I made the rounds when you did your thing. Hit up him and AlcheME.

Oh...makes sense.

[Finally kills the rest of her drink]

--Anyways, that means he already knows, so whatever. Sorry for the alarm or whatever.

No worries, dude. Better you thought of it than had him calling demons or whatever in the middle of the night.

Yeah. Maybe all you guys've had enough demon chats for a while. Crazy idea, I know.

[She goes to finish her cup--realizes she already has, and reaches for his instead]

Yeah... yeah. Fingers crossed I'm done for a while, anyway.

[He hands over the cup when she goes for it - scoops up her empty one and fills it, too. There is in fact just as much rum.]

[Winces--she thinks she liked the OJ better--and takes another sip anyway]

You're done. They can't find anymore bullshit loopholes, so. Stuck in normal hell.

I'll take normal hell.

Good.

[Leans closer to him, shoulder to shoulder, which is a bit farther than she expects but she gets there eventually so good enough. She'd kinda hoped the heater would've gotten him a little warmer than that but--she'll just have to do her best.]

[Leans in against her, grateful, and goes quiet for a couple of beats. He sips at the drink - lowers it, then stares at it and takes another sip, longer this time.]

...hey.

Hey.

[Lets the silence stretch around them--lets him take the lead]

Is it - like. Is it really weird if I say I missed this?

...Hiding out with a bunch of stolen mattresses?

[Ducks his head and nods.]

And like - you.

And just... this. E-everything, I mean. All of it.

...Feels like it's been a long time, huh.
