Mn. [ a soft agreement - he watches him for a moment, hands clasped together before one sets against his own heart. ]

I certainly am. I think... the Heavens feel far darker today than they did before. [ it is as if a light was snuffed out, with the loss of yves. with saber and jacopo too, but this - this is different. ] Even to know that he is safe somewhere does not make that any less true.

[ ... ]

Tonight, will you stay with Chrono and I?

[outdistanced]

[ laurence nods, glancing up at the sky as if it could prove taair's words then and there. ]

I know he's safe. And I know he won't blame whoever killed him, either, but... it still hurts.

and it will hurt more to go to their room that still has so many traces of him in it, where even penny looks for yves. so he takes a moment to squeeze his eyes shut against a fresh round of tears, and nods. ]

If - If it's okay. I don't think I want to be alone.

[ immediately: ]

My dear friend - I would not offer if I felt it wasn't alright. You are welcome to stay as long as you like with us, in good times, or in bad.

[ after a moment, he turns, coming to stand beside him instead of in front of him, folding his hands behind his back. ]

Come - let's head back. I do not think it will do anyone any good to remain here.

[outdistanced]

[ he should have expected that answer. it brings a faint, tired smile to his face. ]

I just don't want be too much of a pain.

[ but he nods, and takes a deep breath as they start to head back. ]

We just need to rest up for tomorrow, right? So we're not exhausted on top of everything.

[ whether he can actually sleep remains to be seen, but an effort can still be made. ]
