[well, okay. she'll come over and gently rest a hand on his arm.]

[teenrebellion]

[ she is so sweet... he is shaking a little, but he does start to look over at her. slowly coming out of it. ]

[naeddre]

It's alright.

[pushes his hair out of his face just as gently.]

We're all here and unharmed.

[teenrebellion]

[ another deep breath and he meets her eyes with a slow nod. ]

...Yeah. Just... surprised, is all.

[naeddre]

I was too. [she smiles at him.] Not exactly my idea of a good time.

[teenrebellion]

[ a soft, breathy laugh - a little nervous, still, but it's better than nothing. ]

Me neither. I really wanted to take advantage of those beds while we had them...

[naeddre]

I did too. Temenos always insists we sleep in weird places. [don't just throw him under the bus like you don't agree to it]

[teenrebellion]

[ no we can throw him under the bus ]

As part of his investigations, rights? Because you never know what could happen...

[inquired]

Bravo, Kazuki. Say, how do you feel about being a detective's assistant?

[teenrebellion]

[ glances at throne? ]

Isn't that position already filled?

[naeddre]

He's always looking to replace me...

[inquired]

Hmm.

[naeddre]

[so dryly:]

An assistant goes where her detective does.

[teenrebellion]

Maybe he should think about his assistance's preferences more often...

[ if he can joke he's probably fine ]

[naeddre]

[she looks a little relieved that he's joking, and gives him a tiny grin.]

Hm. Maybe I should switch careers.

[teenrebellion]

[ hums ]

I think he'd miss you.

[naeddre]

Don't say that too loudly. He might be offended to hear you think he has feelings.

[inquired]

[ from where he is being squashed by a big golden retriever ]

I have no idea what you mean.
