Okay. I'll let you know. [ ... ] When you say "something worse," what do you mean, exactly?

[ certainly not murder? in a murdergame? ]

[noirges]

I don't want to assume the worst... but until we're sure, I think we should be careful. Maybe there's something dangerous around here that we didn't see for the past few days.

[outdistanced]

Isn't Heaven supposed to be safe? There shouldn't be anything dangerous here at all.

[noirges]

I know.

[ and he'll move to put his arm around laurence's shoulders then, a little protectively and a little out of concern for him ]

... I know. Just... a precaution, until we get in touch with the angels again.

[outdistanced]

Right...

[ he leans into it. ]

They said we'll reconvene tomorrow. So we won't have to wait that long.

[ just a whole day of wondering what happened to their favorite demon ): ]

[noirges]

[ laurence you are just a lil guy

yves will just bring his hand up so that he can gently ruffle laurence's hair ]

Mm. We won't.

... are you going to be okay today?

[outdistanced]

I guess. I just don't know what we're supposed to do until tomorrow.

[noirges]

... I don't know either. I might go see if I can investigate a few places and see if there's been anything left behind...

[outdistanced]

[ ...he looks up. ]

I know you're used to all kinds of things, but you shouldn't do anything dangerous either, Yves.

[noirges]

[ there's a little pull at the corner of his mouth ]

What if I'm used to dangerous things?

[ a little joke... but he does look serious afterward ]

... it's okay. [ reassuringly ] I won't do anything reckless. I know when to stop. Promise.

[outdistanced]

[ there's a second he looks like he's about to argue before he realizes it's a joke. ]

Then I'm going to hold you to that.

[noirges]

[ he smiles, this time a little wider. he turns to give laurence a hug for real for real ]

Go ahead. I won't leave you. That's a promise, too.

[outdistanced]

[ the last time a character of yours said this to one of my teens they immediately turned around and died.

so yeah! he'll just hug yves back i guess! ]

You've got your friends from home, too, right? You can't just leave them, either.

[noirges]

[ i trust that this probably happened but this time it's for real

and

well, ]

Adolphe would probably be the one dragging me out of whatever mess I got into....

[outdistanced]

So he's the responsible one? You should try not getting into messes in the first place.

[noirges]

I don't try but things happen.

[ just speaking honestly ]

But Adolphe is undoubtedly one of the most responsible people I know...

[outdistanced]

If you say so.

[ unconvinced! ]

He seems like... a nice guy.

[noirges]

[ hehe.... ]

You know, he said the same thing about you.

[outdistanced]

[ ?! ]

Why were you talking about me?

[noirges]

He just said that if I was gone for long enough, you'd probably notice. I agree.

[ he doesn't count the night bc literally everyone passed out ]

[outdistanced]

That's definitely not the same thing.

[noirges]

He said "Your roommate will probably notice if you're gone along enough. He's a good guy." So he said both!

[outdistanced]

[ what the heck don't just say things like that?! he looks away, a little embarrassed and feeling extra stupid about it because someone! is dead! ]

Maybe... but you shouldn't worry that much about me. As long as you're not being reckless or anything, it's fine.
