[Game 18] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

What do you want to do.

[gavehimhead]

Yuki missed New Years Eve with his boyfriend. I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if there was a way to fix that.

[itouch]

That's pretty important. I should be able to send you back at the same time you left, you know.

[gavehimhead]

Hearing it from you directly is better than assuming. It's difficult to judge time when you forget about this place as soon as you leave.

[itouch]

So he'll never know whether or not we ruined anything.

You staying this time?

[gavehimhead]

It would be a good way to start the new year, don't you think?

[itouch]

I can think of at least one person who would be appreciative.

[gavehimhead]

I can think of a particular someone who would be pleased. I suspect I'll only be making more trouble for myself, but I could use a change of pace.
