[chasseurdebeaute]

[Scooping him right up almost as soon as he’s on his feet—absolutely squeezing the heck out of him in a tight hug]

Monsieur Pommette, I have kisses I owe you as well!

[effeminoxious]

Wah! Rubato! Too tight!

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Too bad, no escape, all the pent up greetings he wanted to give him are coming out here. He turns him each way to smooch each cheek. At least Apple is probably pretty used to this treatment from aunties at home…]

[effeminoxious]

[endures... he can hold from breathing a little longer...]

Happy... to see you... too...

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Finally sets him down again and letting him have some space, but is like, gazing at.. happy! emotional!]

I'm so thankful you were here...

[effeminoxious]

...I'm grateful you can entrust me with so much.

You wanna go inside? You must be tired.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm.

Tell me if it is too much. Seeing my most merveilleux underclassman put such effort into supporting me despite a most nightmarish introduction to this land has renewed my spirit enough I could lift an elephant. Fufu, after some rest, of course.

[effeminoxious]

Since when were you concerned about being too much? It's a relief you're lively as ever.

Bluebell is alright?

[chasseurdebeaute]

You tease, Monsieur! But what will I do if you start to think you can no longer confide in me?

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Takes his hand and drops another smooch on top of his head--he may notice at this point that Rubato has literal healing smooches.]

Bluebell is in rough shape but we are settled for the night.

[effeminoxious]

[the healing does nothing to heal his cursed shoulder, but it's a nice feeling otherwise. Squeezing his hand]

It'll take a lot more than that to get me to stop speaking my mind to you. Now stop fussing and come get settled for the night too.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Will let himself get pulled inside. Also rose barn is so much. what else is going on with it. Rubato has actually not been inside before today. Too bad he's too tired to run around the hamster tubes.]

Then what shall I do with all this fuss I have collected over the last few days while you have been launched from one trial to another?

[effeminoxious]

[that can be enrichment for tomorrow]

I'll accept it only once I've changed into those clothes you brought.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufufu, but Belle's clothes look quite charming on you, if somewhat long in the limbs!

[Will hand him a stack of clothes though--underclothes, a sheep kigu, as well as an oversized comfy sweater and leggings.]

[effeminoxious]

Even so, I'll take a shirt I don't have to roll up half a dozen times.

[...sheep kigu

Well that's a little embarrassing but he's gotta]

[chasseurdebeaute]

I don't know that Bluebell's style avoids that more, but it is comfortable and easy to move in.

[effeminoxious]

[apple has gotten ready with the others before so once they are in Belle's room he's just going to get changed in the kigu like this was a school locker room.]

Oh yeah? Are all Bluebell's clothes this fluffy?

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm, the style seems to emphasize looseness and comfort...

[frown at bandage or injury that's still there]

[effeminoxious]

[the blistering and burns that covered his shoulder have been slowly healing so the bandages today don't cover as much of his shoulder at least! It's smaller than yesterday! Following Rubato's gaze to his shoulder]

Those wolves are real bastards. It's getting better, at least. I'm taking it easy while it heals, promise.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[the fusses he collected!!! resists showering him with more kisses]

I'm glad if it is healing well otherwise...

[effeminoxious]

[sitting down on Belle's bed and reaching for his wrist]

I'll let you know if it gets any worse. I still wanna grumble about it, but rest assured it's on the mend.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Scooting over there!]

If you have more to say, I would like to hear about your exploits. I'm quite chagrined I couldn't join your rescue.

[effeminoxious]

[laying down comfy, keeping his hand on rubato's arm]

Sure, I'll tell you what happened if you share your story next.

[chasseurdebeaute]

I'm afraid it may frustrate you to hear it...

[effeminoxious]

It went that badly?
