“This is Hunter! I don’t understand the human custom of instructing people to leave messages after a beep, but here it is! Beep!”

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. Uh. We have beds! You can stay over in mine tonight if you want.

[neonleon]

....You sure?

[He knows Hunter doesn't realize how that sounds but does Hunter know how that sounds with spring coming in???? HUNTER???]

Because like... Yeah, I'll stay if you want me to.

[pyrighteous]

Well - yeah. I don't have the tokens for that TV yet, but you can watch me carve your palisman and um. I mean.

[ Now he's definitely pink. ]

Luz, uh. Showed me a bunch of human romance films?

[neonleon]

I would love to watch you do that, I haven't learned how to car-

[Oh. Well now his face is heating up a lil.]

Yeah? Did she? Um. Whhhhhat about?

[pyrighteous]

About human romance rules! I - I can't do some of them? But. Maybe some of the others.

[neonleon]

Oh well that works out, I'm not human so a lot of that doesn't apply to me anyway.

[Quick to reassure even when he doesn't know what specifically Hunter's talking about.]

[pyrighteous]

R-right! Where would I even get an airplane anyway??

[neonleon]

...what?

[pyrighteous]

So many human courtships end with chasing after your partner as they flee on an airplane!

[neonleon]

-!!

[Leo laughs a little at that, moving to sit on the bed properly.]

Okay, you got me there. But hopefully we don't have to have one.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah it looked pretty stressful, to be honest.

[ he moves to flop on his bed. ]

[neonleon]

[Watching himmmmmmm]

I've never been to an airport or anything so I've got no idea. Seems like it though.

[pyrighteous]

I haven't either. Luz says we'll go somewhere eventually? But there's still so much to fix in the Demon Realm.

[neonleon]

Sounds like it.

What other stuff do you guys have to fix?

[He'll come back around to the rest of the romance talk. But. He's nervous okay.]

[pyrighteous]

Uh - everything? The Collector wrecked a bunch, and then Belos destroyed a lot of what was left.

[neonleon]

Oh jeez. So yeah, everything.

[Leo reaches to... test waters. Hesitantly running a hand over Hunter's hair, like he isn't sure if that's okay.]

You guys'll get it though. Sounds like there's a big group of you working on it together.

[pyrighteous]

[ He startles a bit - Hunter always startles at touch, even now - but leans in. ]

Yeah. We're - we're all doing our best, for sure.

[neonleon]

[...Okay he can do that. He'll keep petting fingers through Hunter's hair then. Tried and tested, Hunter approved.]

Good. Best way to handle that kinda stuff. I know New York's doin' the same thing.

[pyrighteous]

[ Definitely approves, given the way he's leaning. ]

It is?

[neonleon]

Definitely. Whole place was trashed in the invasion.

[pyrighteous]

... Oh. Right. When the Kraang attacked.

[neonleon]

[Something about Hunter saying the name has his head aching with a sharp, sudden pain. Leo takes a quick breath before settling to lean into him.]

Yeah. They'll have some fun rebuilding after all that.

[pyrighteous]

[ ???

Hunter immediately moves to draw him in closer, worried. ]

Sorry, did I say something wrong?

[neonleon]

No, you didn't. Just- I try not to think about those things too much. You didn't say anything wrong.

[pyrighteous]

We can still talk about something else.
