[yeah boy u stink. He walks alongside him, humming a little. NO EATING SHIT THANK GOD]

You even got back in time to help us plan fight club.

[survivaltricks]

[taps his temple]

I knew there was a reason by Shepherd senses were tingling.

[leonheartedly]

You mean it wasn't me talking about you earlier?

[survivaltricks]

[hand over his heart!!]

Gossiping about me behind my back?

[leonheartedly]

Of course. Told everyone your deepest secrets.

[he sobers a bit] We had a ritual earlier, we had to come up with stories; like . . . if you do this, then that happens. Second part we had to experience someone else's and it got a bit rough for us, but it was even harder for Yata. You came up when we were talking.

[survivaltricks]

How dare you. This is vice-Shepherd betrayal.

[OKAY NO MORE JOKING AROUND, Tyr is serious, time for Lupin to be serious, too]

. . . is he okay?

[leonheartedly]

[he kind of makes a face]

Physically, yeah. Nothing like that happened.

The story we got was about making wishes under a sakura tree, but we had to give up a part of ourselves in return for the wish being granted. And you know how he is - he doesn't want to be left alone. Dunno how many he made before we stopped him, but -

[survivaltricks]

[oh my GOD]

. . . is that the reason I felt like it was time to come back??

[it's a rhetorical question]

[leonheartedly]

[god he hopes that isn't why, he made some of his own wishes he might panic about later]

I told him you didn't leave him behind, so thanks for proving me right.

[survivaltricks]

[his expression. . . softens]

. . . of course I didn't leave him behind.

I'd never do that.

[leonheartedly]

[he reaches over to clasp him on the shoulder]

I know.

[survivaltricks]

[drops a hand on top of Tyr's, giving it a tight squeeze]

. . . thanks. For believing in me.

[leonheartedly]

[he smiles a little]

No one ever stopped.

1/2

[survivaltricks]

[ugh ugh UGH he's having a FEELING]

[DEEP BREATH IN, SLOW BREATH OUT]

[survivaltricks]

As payment for making me experience emotions, you owe me a "welcome back" present.

[leonheartedly]

[he huffs out a laugh]

Oh no, not emotions. What kind of present?

[survivaltricks]

If I tell you what kind of present to get me it totally ruins the surprise, doesn't it?

[leonheartedly]

[hmmm, thinkin' about this]

Then I'll just have to figure out something good.

[survivaltricks]

[TIME TO GET GOOD, TYR]

My expectations are super high. Just so you know.

[they are not he's just being a tease]

[leonheartedly]

I expect no less. I'll try to deliver.

[he's going to get something really good :(]

[survivaltricks]

[Lupin is going to be SO EMBARRASSED because he will not be expecting it??]

Enough business. Tell me more about you-- how have you fared in the ten or so days I've been gone?

[is he still sad about Crois :(]

[leonheartedly]

[must spoil all of his kids]

Me? I'm fine . . . it's been pretty calm.

. . . oh, uh - if someone from Clover jumps me, don't worry about it, that's normal.

[he can see him in dreams, he is significantly less sad :(]

[survivaltricks]

Don't worry. I heard.

[AMUSED]

Hannya, right? I told him to pick fights with me, too.

Can't let you and Acheron have all the fun.

[leonheartedly]

Already? Damn, that old man's fast.

[his lips twitch]

I'm not telling you anything else about it so you can experience it the same way.

[also assuming they are at Thistle now, opening the door so they can go in]

[survivaltricks]

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, TYR. . . well, either way, those thoughts are washed away the moment they step back into the barn as Lupin takes in a deep, pleased inhale]

. . . smells like home.
